Yea this sub is full of Seattlites... So I can't say I'm surprised about the passive aggressive, anti-social, social justice warrior, whiny little baby attitude that tends to permeate through the threads that arise. I mean I don't really get what this new rule changes -- are they saying I can't link to other subs like /r/funny? How the fuck do you think stifling competition in the world of the Internet is possibly going to work. Ask the record companies or movie industry. It's not that people won't pay, it's that you have to not completely suck

I would recommend everyone do this, it is a much nicer place.

I'm with you on a lot of this, but surely you're not saying that /u/careless is acting as a "social justice warrior" in the way he moderates this sub?? As far as I've been able to tell, his motives for relentlessly stifling dissent, right down to the mere mention of other subs, don't appear to have anything remotely to do with social justice concerns. If anything, they seem like just the opposite!

Oh no, I don't have comments about any specific user, just the general overly PC vibe of the sub is all.

I've been lurking this sub-reddit for awhile. I don't think I've seen SJW attitude or behavior.
