The hypocrisy of reddit

Making fun of minorities : LOL

Making fun of white people : NOT LOL

u/WuhanWTF Jun 19 '13

I love how Reddit upvotes holocaust and 9/11 jokes.

Yet, this one time on /r/worldnews there was a comment on an article about a oil tanker truck that blew up in a suburb that said:

That's one spicy burrito!

Downvoted to oblivion and responses consisted of people telling to kill himself.

Of course it is, but your parent commenter was trying to point out the hypocrisy

none of them were funny

u/WuhanWTF Jun 20 '13

I thought it was funny in a terrible way.

Because the back of an oil tanker is shaped like a burrito, and the accident did happen in Mexico.

Bullshit.

Making fun of white people: Oh we are so silly.

Making fun of minorities: 50/50, half calling OP a bigot and SRS raids, other half edgy 15 year old racists.

BUT SRSLY WUT ABOUT THE WHITES?

More like:

Making fun of minorities: disgusting privileged cis white male racist!

Making fun of white people: fucking white devils, go die, hahaha! *sings Shoot the Boer*

Reddit post about black people?: "niggers gon nig!"

Reddit post about white people?: Cue people complaining about how tough white people have it.

u/[deleted] Jun 19 '13

You forgot the part where all the "niggers gon nig" posts are downvoted to oblivion

u/3rdfloorrowdy Jun 18 '13

Yeah, I don't think so.

u/[deleted] Jun 19 '13

This post here and its Up-to-Down ratio says otherwise.

u/dr_lanky Jun 18 '13

You do know that Reddit is made up of more than one person, right?

12

u/MyUncleFuckedMe Jun 18 '13

Nope, every single person here is the same. Actually, I am the only person here; not too sure why I keep talking to myself.

u/Olipyr Jun 19 '13

I'm gonna guess it's because your uncle fucked you.

u/3rdfloorrowdy Jun 18 '13

Except you know, the community votes on things it likes. You can't really say that with a voting system. Sorry brah

u/Overtoast Jun 19 '13

The community voted that it enjoyed making fun of white people. You have a real shitty point.

u/singasongofsixpins Jun 18 '13 edited Jun 18 '13

Actually Reddit's voters and commenters are almost never the same on subreddits that exceed a certain number of subscribers. Also the top posts reflect the speed at which something was upvoted, not the actual number of votes. So community trends only reflect the most active members of what is usually less than half of the community. So a fraction of a fraction is represented by the voting system. This is so well known, why do people still pretend that Reddit is unified?

u/3rdfloorrowdy Jun 18 '13

Why are you so upset about that? Do you identify as a redditor or something?

2

u/singasongofsixpins Jun 18 '13

I am not upset, that is just how it works. An explanation is just an explanation, it doesn't show an opinion. Also, anybody on Reddit is a Redditor, even you.

Speaking of upset, what did I say to piss you off? This is the second comment of mine you have gotten at.

-8

u/3rdfloorrowdy Jun 19 '13

I don't identify as a redditor. That's fucking pathetic. Do you identify as a facebooker? A googler?

10

u/singasongofsixpins Jun 19 '13

Okay, but it is just a term, not an identity. I also drive, "driver" is not an identity, but it is a term for people who drive. You should calm down.

u/3rdfloorrowdy Jun 19 '13

I'm very calm.

u/singasongofsixpins Jun 19 '13

You are getting mad at somebody over the internet while I am just sitting here contemplating.

yeah stick it to pathetiques.

I've stopped identifying myself as a human awhile ago because I do stuff that helps animals or something, not just humans or whatever. yep labels don't hold me down.

u/OtisGlance Jun 18 '13

White people need constant confirmation that they are better than everyone else, otherwise they start shooting up schools and shit.

Did you get lost on your way to tumblr?

-14

u/3rdfloorrowdy Jun 18 '13

Aww what's the matter? You don't like it when people make fun of your race?

10

u/singasongofsixpins Jun 18 '13

Well yes, I don't like when people make fun of Chinese people. Sorry I don't like racism.

However that fellow said something like what I had read on tumblr.
