It was a replacement sub for r/gamingmemes which got banned for being unmoderated after somebody from GCJ got on the mod team, kicked all the other mods, then got there account banned leaving the sub unmoderated.
Just like two weeks ago I was notified I was banned from the sub....haven't really posted anything there recently and when I asked why I got zero response. 'pparently they think my left-leaning transgender ass is "too chud for GCJ" because I....fuck if I know, because they won't tell me!!!
Not that I really want to return tbh, right now the sub is in full brigade-launching mode and the sub is now like 99% just harassing people/subs. Literally 0 desire to return, just want to know what wack-ass reason they banned me for out of the blue.
It was a replacement for an other sub like OP already stated, however, they left out the part where the sub here freegamingmeme was spreading genuine antisemitism and borderline racist and all sorts of bigoted memes.
Maybe the first one got legitimately banned because of GCJ, I don't really know so I have no reason or ground to doubt OP, but a SECOND one getting banned should raise some eyebrows. Reddit do not ban an entire sub just because another ask them to, contrarily to an unmoderated one.
Regardless, the comment in the post here is genuinely cringe.
Pointing out the constant TOS violations this subreddit had was not harassment, racism is not a valid opinion, sexism is not a valid opinion, hate speech is not just “morally questionable”, there’s no “both sides” and free speech doesn’t mean freedom from criticism, it just means people can’t be arrested for saying words that aren’t threats.
Just dropping this here, not elaborating, not debating, if someone disagrees they can scream in the void because I’m disabling notifications on this.
Honestly given I support neither sub but I do know that they both INTENTIONALLY did shit to piss each other off and be antagonistic can’t really say both subs don’t deserve a ban, I can honestly say I’m not surprised by that type of response from them lol. Just with the post alone it shows they do go out of their way to celebrate the misfortune of their “rivals” as you could call them.

What was that sub about? Was it about memes about Free Games? Or?
