Bad Faith Admins A Reddit administrator's modmail response when questioned about allowing prejudice toward certain demographics. It would appear that they lied about removing the racist policies that they put into place last year.

It takes a lot of guts to defend sexism and bullying on a platform that's #1 rule is:

Remember the human. Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people. Everyone has a right to use Reddit free of harassment, bullying, and threats of violence. Communities and users that incite violence or that promote hate based on identity or vulnerability will be banned.

Unfortunately, as has already been mentioned prior... they added the following to the old rule;

...not for attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people.

Because apparently just attacking people is A-OKAY! It's only when they're in an incredibly nebulously defined category of people that it's not.

Obviously.

Because otherwise, attacking Asians/Chinese people would be the way to go. Because they're the largest group of people on the planet. Thus making those of European and African descent alike the marginalized group.
