Someone made a post with a picture of a blonde haired blue eyed child. The title was “Would you slap this child for 88 million dollars?”

I said “Slap!?!?? I would eat that child’s still beating heart for 88 million dollars.”

Next day I log in to find out I had been temp banned for 7 days for sexualization/abuse of a minor.

I uninstalled Reddit. That was 11 days ago and I haven’t been back. Context is important. Obviously, no one is going to offer me 88 million dollars to eat a child’s heart. Not to mention, do you really want to make deals with people that can offer that to you? I mean, I wouldn’t.

All this has led me to realize. I don’t want to be part of a community with no sense of humor.

I would post a link but not only was my comment deleted. The thread was too I think.

      Same, funny thing is that the post I said it on did the same thing. Reddit admins are incompetent and inconsistent.

            Obviously, you won’t see them unless you browse communities that actively harboured them.

            Calling “nazi” impossible to take seriously is pretty funny, given this exact same thing is used by right-tards and “enlightened” centrists, to quickly shut off any conversation and to defend the indefensible

            Call it Nazi, Neo-nazi, far-right, it does not matter. If you harbour racist, transphobic, homophobic or other hateful views, what other response do you want for it? Debating them does not work. They do not argue in good faith. Removing them from the conversation entirely is the way to go. Because surely we talked to the nazis in WW2, right? “UwU, pwease don’t kill any more innocent people.” No.

            If you let the intolerant in your tolerant society, guess what will happen.

            So please, do call me emotionally frantic pearl clutching for not wanting my friends murdered for being gay or trans or black. It honestly says more about you than me.
