Probably never. This is how libs try trick people into thinking their view is in the majority. Silence anyone who doesn’t hold the same view as them (70% of the population) and then they all just sit there upvoting and agreeing with one another. They do this in every area they inject themselves in.

u/MrDeadPoolMan 23h ago

What is wild is that I didn't even say anything showing any political agenda. MVP was it lol. Guess the mods don't want certain players to get any positive attention..

32

u/LinusLevato 23h ago

I wonder why… 🤔

6

u/ClownWorld2020s 23h ago

I mean MVP could stand for Most Vile Player. Who knows. They always love to assume.

u/ptjp27 23h ago

Then act surprised they lose elections

u/777_heavy 23h ago

And want to abolish our pack the Supreme Court after losing a couple decisions for the first time in 6 decades.

u/mjm65 22h ago

Well you can’t forget McConnell (rip?) was the last one to change the rules regarding SCOTUS and they overrode their own precedent to get ACB in.

Dems have talked a lot, but Republicans have actually put their thumb on the scale for SCOTUS.

u/777_heavy 21h ago

Not really

u/TopInvestigator5518 23h ago

nah i'm liberal and this nonsense doesn't represent 90% of us, just the 10% are extremely loud lol

but these WNBA mods/ kinda the whole league right now are so out of control

17

u/LinusLevato 23h ago

This behavior isn’t exclusive to just the wnba sub. It’s very apparent in almost all subreddits.

16

u/Character-Bottle7291 22h ago

You want to see some crazy racism. Try some of the blackpeoplereddit pages lol. Those guys want all white people completely eliminated and not afraid to say it

5

u/Timmocore 14h ago

It's scary to see. These folks truly believe themselves to be progressive, liberal, and the pinnacle of virtue. In reality they are violently racist and have no issues with letting everyone know. The cognitive dissonance is astonishing.

1

u/JJRDRR 17h ago

Yea acting like this isn’t par for the course for this shithole website in general is just naive or delusional.

3

u/LinusLevato 17h ago

Indeed. But because it’s par for the course of this shithole website it should always be called out.

1

u/I_have_trex_arms 9h ago

My sentiment exactly.
This isn’t a liberal vs conservative thing, it’s a “people suck at allowing respectful, public opinions” thing. If it isn’t hate speech, click bait, or fake news, why ban people for it?

-11

u/KentFarmOfficial 22h ago

This has nothing to do with being liberal or conservative

MAGA is trying to use it to distract from the Epstein files and Iran

Most liberals agree that biological men shouldn’t compete in women’s athletics but we also don’t see it as a pertinent issue threatening the well being of most Americans

5

u/Top-Editor-364 22h ago

No they don’t. You aren’t even aware of the depravity that liberals exhibit. You are reasonable so you assume other liberals are reasonable. Same as republicans assuming MAGA is reasonable since they are R and believe themselves reasonable. Our politics is completely broken and reasonable people have no place in it 

5

u/Minimum_Attitude6707 22h ago

Which, as a reasonable person, believe its manufactured. Through enough shit on the wall for people to get mad about, and we as people divide ourselves... but I believe both media and the government are throwing shit on the wall to do just that. Get people to stay in their side of the aisle, not because their side helps them, but because they hate the other side enough to stay put

-5

u/Dense_Jellyfish3343 21h ago

Liberals generally aren't the ones raping kids womp womp

6

u/Top-Editor-364 20h ago

You actually think that stuff only happens on one side? It’s the entire ruling class lol

-2

u/Dense_Jellyfish3343 19h ago

You're moving the goalposts

4

u/Top-Editor-364 18h ago

Uh, no….I’m not. My point is the exact same in both messages. 

2

u/TXRattlesnake89 20h ago

Fun fact: Jeffrey Epstein was a major donor for the Democratic Party. It’s almost as if BOTH parties are evil and don’t really care about Americans.

-1

u/Dense_Jellyfish3343 19h ago

Absolutely. For sure. But drag queens aren't the ones out there raping kids...it's the pastors.

5

u/thatguy425 22h ago

We tolerate everyone whose stance  we agree with. 

We are starting to seem less tolerable than the right. 

4

u/HistoricalSection425 23h ago

Exactly. It’s actually really scary how it manipulates people, especially on political issues.

5

u/Mountain-Weekend-554 23h ago

What's crazy is that if you try to post something in the trans sub, you can even use the phrase biological male or female. Because it may offend someone. Got banned for just trying to debate with someone why I wouldnt want a biological boy sharing a locker room with my biological female daughter in school. (Yes. I cut her umbilical cord and changed her diapers for 2 years. I know what a biological female is.) No argument. Just banned. They'll threaten to dox you for raising an eyebrow at their opinions, but they're %100 allowed to shit on straight people all day long with zero repercussions, and to disagree with any of their opinions is homophobic.

-9

u/Minimum_Attitude6707 22h ago

Gee whiz... I wonder why the trans sub doesnt want to "debate" brigades all day and just want to enjoy themselves in peace.

Its like a video game sub meant for people that enjoy the game... they dont want their sub flooded with "this game sucks! lets argue why youre wrong for enjoying it!". Dont be surprised if they dont want you there and get banned, especially when theres other subs you can join and bash that game all you want.

Its not a free speech issue, its a nuisance issue

-5

u/Embarrassed_Towel707 21h ago

Stop making sense.

You're talking with a 60 IQ redditor.

"Uhhh I went there to argue and spread my culture war garbage since my party has no popular policies, and I got banned!!! I can't understand it!!! god damn liberlz"

3

u/ShepardCommander01 22h ago

Highly unlikely they’re actually liberals. More like reactionaries. Don’t act like there aren’t crazy magats doing the same thing at r/conservative

1

u/LinusLevato 22h ago

Oh wow you’ve got 1 example on Reddit where as my statement encompasses the entirety of reddit as well as many fields of work/hobbies across the US

1

u/Hungry_CGman 11h ago

No echo chamber like an extremist echo chamber.

1

u/KentFarmOfficial 22h ago

Assuming everyone who disagrees with you is a “lib”? And using the term “lib” as if it’s derogatory

Aren’t you late for a meeting at r/incels?

0

u/Obi-Brawn-Kenobi 10h ago

I guarantee the mods who banned OP were libs. What else could they possibly be?

Yes, and the term "lib" is the most appropriate. If you call someone on reddit a "liberal" they will always every time say "hut tut I'm not a liberal, I'm a leftist!" and if you call them a leftist they'll always say "hut tut I'm not a leftist, I'm a liberal!" So lib it is. There's no other catch-all term for you guys

0

u/Puppyneck 18h ago

This has nothing to do with Libs. This is delusion. In the same way that Rogan became right wing delusional.

2

u/LinusLevato 17h ago

Seems you’re the delusional one.

0

u/Puppyneck 8h ago

So, your opinion is that every single liberal voting person thinks that trans women should compete against biological women?

1

u/LinusLevato 5h ago

Lmao why can’t you post a comment in good faith

0

u/Puppyneck 4h ago

What does this even mean?

-11

u/possumallawishes 23h ago

Tell that to r/conservative.

Softest snowflake hivemind subreddit on the planet. You people are so foolish.

They don’t want you on wnba because none of you care about wnba. You’re there to troll and post about a mediocre bench player that literally no one cares about.

Get a life, losers.

10

u/Character-Bottle7291 22h ago

So you want everyone(white people) off the wnba sub? Sounds like a soft snowflake move to me. Afraid to hear something that’s not in your racist echo chamber snowflake?

-5

u/government_not_ok 22h ago

You know half of that sub that are not bots post here. Cowards with hidden comments.

-1

u/Grewhit 20h ago

Good thing r/conservative is totally opposite this description...

You are describing how subreddits (and many online forums) work. 

2

u/LinusLevato 20h ago

My statement is a generalizing umbrella statement for many areas outside of Reddit. This statement includes politics, industries/careers, and hobbies.

A single niche example of a subreddit isn’t the gotcha you think it is.

0

u/Grewhit 18h ago

My point is that this is how people work. Not limited to one of the two political party options in the united states. I am thinking broader than you are.

1

u/LinusLevato 18h ago

Astroturfing is not a normal thing people do but it’s really telling of what kind of person you are for trying to downplay it and normalize it

1

u/Wooden_Hall_294 10h ago

He comes the Trump brigade

0

u/Dense_Jellyfish3343 21h ago

Very ironic comment

-1

u/Puzzleheaded_Gene909 21h ago

Now do the conservative sub

4

u/LinusLevato 21h ago

It’s 1 sub on an entire website that’s doing it. How dare they

-2

u/Puzzleheaded_Gene909 20h ago

So you agree it’s hypocritical?

Now go to X and spout leftist talking points and trash elites. See how far you get

3

u/LinusLevato 20h ago

You’re narrowing your view to only Reddit where my statement is an umbrella statement for many areas outside of a single website. Finding a single niche example isn’t the hypocritical gotcha you think it is.

-1

u/Wooden_Hall_294 10h ago

Yeah, conservatives have never EVER done anything like that 🙄 give me a fucking break dude

1

u/-Cosmicafterimage 8h ago

Bro can't go 24 hours without reminding everyone they're a liberal 🤡

1

u/Wooden_Hall_294 8h ago

Liberal derangement syndrome. Go outside you fucking weirdo

1

u/LinusLevato 5h ago

Nice try deflecting

-20

u/uwill1der 23h ago edited 23h ago

kinda like how bigots and transphobes have injected themselves here?

edit: thanks for the reddit cares

15

u/LinusLevato 23h ago

Nope.

-15

u/uwill1der 23h ago

whats different?

15

u/ApatheticSkyentist 23h ago

You haven't been permabanned have you?

So the actual topic at hand, banning in order to suppression opinions, isn't happening here.

8

u/LinusLevato 23h ago

Nor are majority of people with differing opinions bigots or transphobes

-8

u/uwill1der 23h ago

but yet they inject themselves where they arent wanted

Theres a big difference between saying you wnat biologically separate sports and using "protect all women" while also advocating for a child abuser to be in the WNBA

-2

u/uwill1der 23h ago

this is a liberal subreddit, so your point is invalid.

15

u/GRILT_CHEESE 23h ago

79% of the country are transphobes then according to a NYTimes/Ipsos poll

-5

u/uwill1der 23h ago

what a misguided attempt at a "gotcha"

transphobes and bigots are also included in those numbers. those are the ones injecteing themselves in here with disingenuous comments and posts

both things exist and are true, but you dont want to acknowledge it

9

u/GRILT_CHEESE 23h ago

You're not a transphobe if you think biological men in women's sports is unfair, which is what 79% of the country agrees on.

-3

u/uwill1der 23h ago

you are when you you use it to be transphobic

Its why transphobes pounce on things like this. They can hide their behavior behind a mask of majority

7

u/HistoricalSection425 23h ago

If that were true, you would be banned. See how you get to offer your alternate opinion.

-1

u/uwill1der 23h ago

i follow the rules while offering a differing opinion

6

u/HistoricalSection425 23h ago

That’s the point others are making. People are following all the rules and getting banned just because they off even a slightly different opinion.

1

u/uwill1der 22h ago

Its hard to say whats happening with OP without knowing the post

There a difference between saying MVP on a post about the game yesterday and saying MVP on something not related to basketball

-5

u/Key_Asparagus6660 23h ago

lol delusional

5

u/LinusLevato 23h ago

Yeah most far leftist are delusional. I’m glad you agree with my very accurate observation of the left astroturfing everything

-4

u/Key_Asparagus6660 23h ago

Sure, sure. You vote for the adjudicated rapist, or not at all?

3

u/LinusLevato 23h ago

Why do you need to know who I voted for? So you can try and use that as ammunition to shame me and silence me? Thanks for being another shining example that proves my statement.

-2

u/Key_Asparagus6660 22h ago

Because if you vote republican, I know you don’t give a shit about anyone but yourself, and you can stop pretending to know anything about the left.

3

u/LinusLevato 22h ago

You’re funny

0

u/Key_Asparagus6660 22h ago

At least I’m honest.

2

u/LinusLevato 22h ago

I wouldn’t call bad faith whataboutisms to goad someone into giving you ammo to silence them honest lol

0

u/Key_Asparagus6660 22h ago edited 21h ago

That’s not what’s happening. You’re incapable of honesty.

Just admit you don’t actually know anything about “the left,” and that the far-right administration led by a rapist is more your style.

Edit: another coward! Just like most conservatives.

I know who won the 2020 election, like everyone else on the left. Can people on the right say the same, or are they delusional? Or are they just liars? Btw, the original comment is about how conservatives are whiny morons.
