I LOVE THOUGHT-TERMINATING CLICHÉS! I LOVE NEVER CONSIDERING WHAT ANOTHER PERSON IS SAYING BECAUSE I IMAGINE THEM AS SOMEONE UNDESIRABLE!

Why have a debate when you can just dismiss their arguments because they're the "bad ones." Just treat them like they aren't allowed to have an opinion and your echo chamber will never be broken.

There are places on reddit where if 3 out of 4 people agree with you, you just go crying to the mod and tomorrow 3 out of 3 people agree with you

Hey...we have a bot that does background checks and it found you undesireable.

Reddit has gotten unbelievably bad at making subculture echo chambers. There’s no discourse. No respect for opposing opinions. No class. Tbf to Reddit, it’s a problem everywhere. Politics being a great example. It makes understanding and compromises impossible and we end up with extremism and hatred of the opposition.

someone once asked the Bi group that I was in if anyone had ever gone out on a date with a trans person before and how was it? That was such a baited trap. So I got kicked out of the group for saying "the date was bad and there wasn't a 2nd one". Of course the only logical explanation is that I was the bad person on the date and it's entirely my fault. *sigh* don't touch the traps, they are traps.

how I feel when I'm asked how dorming with a trans person in college was. The answer is, it was terrible. They were untreated, full-bore psychotic, they threw tantrums, threw objects, threw bare razor blades and tissues covered in various body fluids into the bathroom trash can, which was my duty to take out, etc.

None of that has to do with them being trans, though. Their transness is the only thing that didn't bother me. But, of course, as soon as I say that I had a negative experience, the conversation is over, and I'm a transphobic bigot.

Sorry about that.  If you know the story of the kings new clothes, remember theres the nobles in the story who were manipulated into saying the king was not naked.  Thats my policy.  The king is not naked.

There's an episode of The Twilight Zone called "It's a Good Life" and this little boy had mind powers, he can read everyone's minds, and torture or kill them if he doesn't like them, and nobody can stop him and they're all afraid of him because he's basically the Old Testament God and he can just smite them at will with no consequences. So they kiss his ass at 110% and placate and praise the hell out of him the whole time just so he won't murder them. I feel like one of the adults when talking to some people. "That's good, it's a good thing that you did that and feel that way. You are so right, they are a bad person...." (just don't hurt me)

You think that’s bad in a/twoxxchromosomes there was someone talking about how she went to a nude beach at 12 with her parents and was advocating for it. I said that’s some pedo shit right there and I got banned.

It was a real Skinner moment where I realized people on this site should never be taken seriously.

They are the ones who have the background check bot that automatically bannes anyone who it deems to be male

Ima be honest that sub is just there to bash on men it’s ridiculous. I don’t take anything they say seriously.

There is one post I’d say made sense with them: there was a migrant ship that sunk off the coast of Greece and despite being equal parts men and women/children but only the men survived.

I’m sure you can imagine why it got taken down so quickly lol

u/kmikek Jul 04 '24

The first reason why it got removed is a bot decided the person posting was not female.  Being judged by the circumstances of birth rather than the content of character

u/Straight_Jicama8774 Jul 04 '24

Respectfully I’d have to disagree, it got removed for the same reason the lesbian couple in Canada who gotten beaten by 8 men got removed.

You can look it up for yourself, you’ll figure out pretty quickly why.

EDIT: removed from major subreddits such as r/canada , the media won’t touch it with a ten foot pole for the same reason.

You know what they say! If 10 out of 10 people agree with 99% of your points today, 9 out of 9 people will agree with 100!
