Content warning: This article contains numerous examples of bigoted rhetoric. Users on Reddit’s “r/conspiracy” forum have repeatedly and openly posted anti-LGBTQ content for years without pushback, despite the platform’s rules prohibiting “hate based on identity or vulnerability” and anti-LGBTQ “groomer” rhetoric. Reddit has a history of taking action against other subreddits that have violated those rules. A Media Matters review of r/conspiracy since May 2020 found a widespread pattern of anti-LGBTQ hate, which includes accusing the LGBTQ community of grooming, having “mental illness,” and associating with pedophilia.
I gotta say, I thought your first comment was some kind of madly wild, baseless, bitter accusation stemming from heavy disillusionment with reddit and assumption that spez must surely represent the worst of us.
The fact that you actually have a source for that madness and interpreted that source accurately is the most mindblowing thing I’ve seen in a while. That really is quite an article.
You and me both chief. When I first heard it I also did a hard double take.
The affluenza class really do live in a completely different world than us. To the point where their reality sounds like absolute absurdity to us “normal people”.
I want to get off Mr. Bones Wild Ride.
