Reddit became hypersensitive... goodbye

After 10 years and a few hundred thousand karma made a comment in r/europe that got me banned… in a discussion about AfD (a far, far right German party that has neo-Nazis as members) I made the mistake of saying “Guess we didn’t drop enough bombs on Dresden” (since much of the support for AfD is from the east)… got permanently banned for threatening posts… guess on Reddit you’ve got to be nice to Nazis! So looking for a new spot for lively discussion with folks that aren’t set to “auto-trigger”.

atlasraven31,

You deserved that ban.

I agree with another commenter on here in that, we really don't need this kind of bullshit attitude around in general. Grow up, you're not 16 anymore and you're not a victim. We can see through the bullshit but you're playing your own victim fiddle here. I'm so fed up with self-victimizing assholes who obviously have done something to get them banned but they play like they're totally oblivious to the idea that there are rules and there are other people, because they're only thinking that they're the only ones who ever surf the internet.

It's like all of the posts I used to have read on r/banned a long time ago. 9 times out of 10, the bans were justified and the titles were always along the lines of "I said something innocent, wah, stoopid SJW culture, got banned" but then you look into it a little more and find "Ohhhhh, right, they were banned for being an intolerant prick. This is just them showing off their credentials to impress people over".

evdo,

Maybe take a step back and think on that comment again.

Well I’d honestly rather you not be here as well. All the nazi, fascist, tankie, lib, whatever other ignorant term to refer to people you disagree with talk needs to fuck right off into oblivion.

devious,

Personally I am not really a fan of banning users for being an asshole (serial assholes are a different story), but one less asshole is still a net positive for the community so it’s not like they would be missed.

The moral of the story is, don’t be an asshole!

Do me a favour and look up western german voting share for AfD. Yes it’s more frequent in the east but to pretend it’s only there… I mean there’s a lot wrong with what you said but that’s the very obvious one.

No sympathy here. I’m not surprised they banned you. Did you perhaps stop to think about how many, out of the ~25,000 people killed, were innocent people, including children?

Dick move.

BestBouclettes,

You probably got banned because it’s a dumb as fuck and non constructive edgy take.

I think it would get you banned here too

cactusupyourbutt,

And defending people (their lives in particular) is not what makes someone a nazi.... it's defending nazism what does.

Daqu,

They should not have banned you for threatining posts.

They should have banned you for being an edgy/stupid kid.

AmidFuror,

I don't consider myself hypersensitive, but that was a really asshat remark to make to a large group of people.
