r/RedditCensors banned over…. bringing the bullying and authoritarianism to light that some mods dabble in? Wild.

A post in r/RedditCensors is what kicked it off I’m pretty certain, showcasing how a user was banned from WhitePeopleTwitter over correcting someone on the type of weapon that was used in a shooting or something like that. Within 24 hours, a bunch of people who had this post recommended to them (not even apart of the sub, mind you) who then left a comment, were also banned from WPT simply for association! Then as the subs goal, folks made posts showcasing the absolute hypocrisy of this site in which “everyone has a right to use Reddit free of harassment, bullying and threats of violence”… uh huh, anyway that sub is gone, wiped off the map, I wonder why.

That was a great subreddit. This platform really is going down the liberal path instead of being neutral.

?? Isn’t the conservative path recently the one trying to ban books?

That's more of extreme right. There are conservatives who believe banning books is going against freedom of speech. I don't agree with the far right or far left agenda, hence why I said this site should be neutral, not left leaning nor right leaning.

Have you looked into those books? I mean actually looked into them? There's literal porn in most of them. And the others are only banned from certain grade levels.

My brother in christ a lot if them banned history books… hell i even saw some of them banned completely normal ass books or manga that have literally no inappropriate content or political messages in general. The parents just want full control over what the kids can or cant consume but instead of actually parenting them they just choose to ban it for everyone 💀

Im sure there is some bad content getting into school libraries but a majority of what i saw and heard about was far from that and thats what people are mad about. Nobody is arguing that porn should be allowed in school

One school accidentally added books by an AUTHOR because thier real, given last name was Gay.

They fixed the situation rather quickly but it never should have gotten that far

Both sides have tried to ban books. Leftists have tried numerous times to ban the Bible. Utah. Florida. The list is lengthy.
