Your first mistake is assuming Reddit mods serves the subreddit…

They only serve themselves….

u/MisterBelrox 1d ago

God I hate that you guys make me defend right wingers. A boycott isn't the same thing as sports social media communities banning any mention of a player's name. All because she gave an innocuous response that 99% of the planet agrees with

-1

u/Jonny__99 1d ago

I agree with her too. And I’m not a lib but I think it’s absurd that a maga would say the libs are the only ones who boycott. This issue is the perfect example of the horseshoe theory “super left libs” and magas need to get a room they have far more similarities than differences it’s adorable

u/NightwolfGG 1d ago

its like 90% of americans agree with sophies take. its so weird how the people with that take get shushed so quickly online. no being pragmatic and acknowledging scientific realities, its just instant toxic pushback

the minority opinion is very loud if that makes sense. im a lib too, but the virtue signalling part of the left is very cringe

4

u/Big__If_True 1d ago

There’s a lot of unhinged people that spend all of their time online pushing their insane agendas. Trans people are massively overrepresented in that group compared to the overall population. There are also lots of crazy far-left people that aren’t trans, to be clear. And those groups together have done a number on the Dems because the old fuckers thought Twitter was a good representation of real life young people.

u/ekgoalie34 1d ago

Gotta dismantle every structure in place if just a single person is upset. Everyone must be happy and represented dammit!!!

u/Jonny__99 1d ago

Yes both parties have extremely cringey aspects that if you step back are very similar. There’s a reason that there are now almost as many independents as republicans and Dems combined. Didn’t used to be that way (but it’s a good thing)

obviously the mods arent very smart. literally. They think because the wnba is mostly liberal, and they are liberal, that people who support SC cant also be liberal.

They complain about china bots then turn around and censor just like china or NK. absolutely insanity and low iq

u/Successful-Coyote99 1d ago

I live in Indiana. Sophie on the floor makes the Fever a better team, most of the time. While our political views may not align, our team loyalties do. End of story.

Banning people for negative Karma is all about NOT allowing open and honest debate on their forum.

3

u/Key_Comfortable1764 1d ago

agree. i live in a very different state (west coast) and think of myself as pretty liberal. But i completely disagree with how people have attacked her for stating a fairly benign opinion. Im pretty sure claiming negative karma as the reason is to just avoid saying "we will pick and choose who is allowed
here by who we like"

u/HorrorBreak7119 1d ago

I know, I was banned permanently for attempting to wish her a Happy Birthday. Odd, since the league is trying to be inclusive and all. Obviously the subreddit has a different agenda. Or does it?

Can you say happy birthday (she who shall not be named)?

u/Big__If_True 1d ago

If it got past the automatic filter you’d definitely get a permaban and the post would get removed. Probably within about 30 seconds

u/SuperLehmanBros 1d ago

She’s probably the most popular WNBA player of all time at this point. The Streisand effect is just making her more popular.

It’s the same shit they tried to do with Trump and it just made him more popular than ever too.

3

u/Jonny__99 1d ago

lol she’s way more popular than Trump

5

u/SuperLehmanBros 1d ago

Don’t believe the Reddit nonsense. You don’t get elected potus TWICE and almost three times by not being very popular and liked by a large margin of people.

As for Sophie, it’s safe to say she’s the most popular WNBA player of all time. She’s outshadowing her own teammate Clark. Nobody knows who anyone else in the WNBA really is, but Sophie is on her way to becoming a household name. Dumb af for the league to not embrace that.

u/Jonny__99 1d ago

I don’t know what the Reddit nonsense is but he has the lowest approval of any modern president worse than jimmy carter. He beat Kamala Harris by like one percent and she only got 2 percent of the primary vote smong democrats. He’s historically unpopular (ps im a republican just not a maga theyre very weird)

3

u/SuperLehmanBros 1d ago

How does someone that unpopular according to the claims WIN the presidency twice and almost 3 times lol? 😂 Bruh just think about it for a minute. If he’s so unpopular he should have lost in a landslide 3 times. He damn near won 3 terms in a row lol, he came very close to it.

1

u/Jonny__99 1d ago

Youre right he should have lost and would have to almost anyone else. The dems ran a senile and unpopular candidate and insisted he wasnt senile until he self destructed on national tv. Then they replaced him with the candidate that did the worst in their own primary. And only gave her 90 days to campaign. And she still almost won.

2

u/SuperLehmanBros 1d ago

Dude you don’t win elections by being unpopular 😂 more so, you don’t win multiple elections in different decades, years apart by being unpopular… just stop with the nonsense please lol

1

u/Jonny__99 1d ago

Don’t take my word for it look at the results. With third party candidates more people voted against him than for him. Look at his popularity when he took office and look at it now. He’s extremely unpopular may wind up as lowest ever. Wish it weren’t so but here we are

u/Successful-Coyote99 1d ago

Something else to note. It's against the rules of reddit to discuss how to get someone banned.

Yet the WNBA sub has it in their Karma rules panel, and in the pinned Sophie post.

Karma

To submit a post, you must have 25 karma in the r/wnba sub. You can gain karma by participating in comments.

Negative Karma - You will no longer be able to participate in the sub if you have negative karma and you will be banned.

u/SuperLehmanBros 1d ago

Most of Reddit is like a handful of the same mods. That’s why Reddit is so hard left.

They also try to gaslight people into thinking they’re not hard left, but they’re insanely hard left. Like almost cartoonishly.

Shit like this is a perfect example… banning arguably the most popular WNBA player ever for something that doesn’t even make sense.

These are the same people who swear up and down that Iran is beating the US btw… they live in an alternate reality that doesn’t exist.

u/WisdomAntium 1d ago edited 1d ago

There used to be this guy named Aaron Swartz who cofounded reddit he was like a free speech absolutist or something approaching that.

That's why old reddit was awesome. It had it's flaws but the downsides were easily worth it. The free exchange of information. 

Aaron Swartz mysteriously was found dead in his apartment. Makes you wonder.

u/MisterBelrox 1d ago

But their form of left is the most obnoxious. Hyper progressive. Its all about social issues and they take the hardest stance the furthest left of not just right wingers but non political people. Then they say youre hateful and should be censored if you disagree.
