    Dude… Like…

    Duuuude…

    I don’t know how to phrase this, but Reddit was getting filled with… Normal people? Nongeeks? The socially adept?

    I’m sooo glad to be back with silly peeps. I missed that sense of critical self awareness haha. And I’ve been able to express some controversial opinions without getting locked and banned, which is mellowing as fuck.

      I believe reddit was simply filled with all kinds of people. There is an array of subs to choose from with different interests and activity levels. I find it silly that people on reddit consider themselves “non-normal” and “geeky”. I don’t think you’re that special.

      I can say things like:

      “I like Brains faggots more than any other brand” and “Retard the accelerator” without my comment being deleted and/or Reddit-banned for hate-speech.

      I once got suspended from Reddit for saying: “The Scots weren’t innocent during the British Empire. They were used for a lot of rape & murder”.

      It was considered racist. Until I appealed with 2 academic history papers that showed the Scottish Highlanders were considered a “martial race” and were used extensively in colonial campaigns during the British Empire. I really don’t want to have to fucking educate dumb-as-brick Yank admins who don’t know history or language beyond their shores.

      I was finally site-suspended and can’t create new users because a mod accused me of evading a sub ban. I didn’t. Another mod just unbanned me cos the reason I got banned originally was idiotic. The mod didn’t care. Re-banned me so my 15yo account got permanently suspended by the admins.

      I’m done with that fucking site.

        The first part of your post is really confusing. Why would you talk like you’re using English from 1930s? Is English your second language?

          No. I’m 40yrs old and I don’t keep up with the modern-day lingo. 😂

          Also I’m British so I speak British English. “Fags” are cigarettes and “faggots” are a type of food.

            Seems you were intentionally trying to seek attention by saying shit people actually don’t want to hear and claiming it’s fine based off a technicality. Your so edgy bro. Don’t call other people stupid just because they see beyond your attempt to be clever.

              You think I’m trying to be clever by speaking my own language?

              You think I speak my own language to seem “edgy”?

              The word “faggot” on reddit gets site-wide deleted which means even saying it in the UK subs where people will know the meaning it would get deleted. Yes it’s happened and that’s fucking moronic.

              It’d be like banning Spaniards from their own subs for saying "Tiene negro gato ".

                We speak the same fucking language. Your metafore of Spanish and negro is irrelevant. You guys seriously run around, on what is an AMERICAN platform and think that the word of choice for a cigarette, a smoke, a stogey, is “faggot”? Not fag, but faggot? That is the word you want to use? Even though you have many other choices of words, that is it? And you are surprised?

                I remember elementary school when we laughed about fag meaning a cigarette. Then I turned 8.

                No but like seriously, I guess maybe I am missing some perspective. You guys just like use it in commonplace? Like, “Hey Benedict, I’m gonna go suck on this faggot over here” or “Hey Charles, it’s time for my fag break”

              Did you just call somebody’s language you inherit a technicality? I swear to god you yanks are something else with your lack of education and common sense. I guess the only way to afford thousand of ICBMs is to defund the school. Bless you
