Only if the Reddit brass gave a gently caress. There are anti-hate subreddits that have been calling for the prosecution and prohibition on hate speech on Reddit for ages and they are met with silence from the administration. I don't care how many tennis players the founders marry; Their silence is advocacy for these groups.

They're pretty much tacitly advocating for those people now; "bash the fash" gets you reddit's equivalent of a hell-banning for inciting violence, but then you can find actual calls for murder and shootings in all the lovely alt-right subs

Rough guesstimate, how many YouTube gaming channels are out there that aren't explicitly misogynistic and racist? Every single big channel I click on takes about 2 videos before they start making TRIGGERED jokes and making fun of feminists.

The only one I really know of off the top of my head is Cinemassacre, which is probably the most sweet and pure channel on YouTube

Anything involving Justin or Griffin McElroy on Polygon; them along with their middlest brother Travis have made a podcast family that's pretty big on inclusion

One thing I've noticed about quite a few of these 'intellectuals' they tend to take 30 minutes where 5-10 would have been more than enough. Is there a reason for this other than they're gibbering wrecks?

Nerds have conflated length of something to quality. "How can a post about how black people are subhuman be wrong? Look at all of the sources! (ignore that the sources are full of poo poo)" is a really common thing on reddit. Like 40 godawful biased, manipulated stories means that something is automatically correct.

This might be obvious, or :thejoke: but I thought he was saying weed makes you ugly, and trans people are ugly, so weed makes you look trans.

jokes on them, i was already ugly before smoking weed and figuring things out about myself
