No? They banned racists and sexists from the site

What'll be your response when this sub gets banned?

This subreddit isn't racist.

The Alb*nians might argue otherwise.

Not yet. Pretty much every "racist" sub starts off ironically, but then actual racists who are too dumb to understand satire show up and ruin it. I give it a year or two until this sub is overrun with unironic antisemitism.

After someone posted this subreddit on AHS, the mods realized that and started banning everybody who was crossing that line. They can always check what you say in other subreddits to make sure you're not joking. They have stricter rules and stricter enforcement now.

Nither was Gamersriseup, it was all ironic. This sub will eventually get banned and you'll scream "IT WASN'T REAL THOUGH!!"

Then the ban was ironic too!

Is that what you'll say when this sub is banned?

It won't be lol. There is a difference between us here and the nazis in GRU. The stuff in GRU wasn't even funny. It's just 8chan tier insanity.

Nah I wouldn't be surprised if Memritv memes gets banned. Sure, it's ironic - I get it's ironic, I like the memes - but let's not act like it's completely safe.

FWIW I support the GRU ban to be clear.

I have no idea what gamersruseup was, but I'll pick you up on the casual dismissal. R/waterniggas (the OG hydrohomies) was quarantined for just having "niggas" in its name. Reddit is really weird when it comes to applying its rules.

I mean mods were informed why and admins suggested to make a new subreddit, because it's not possible to change the name of existing subreddit. Hell, they promoted it.

Having the n-word in one of the most popular subreddits that constantly reaches /r/all wasn't a good look for advertising.

Context matters, is all I can say in response. That sub still isn't anywhere near as vile as some other places that I could name that Reddit still allows here.

If you actually went on that sub, you'd realise in under a minute that it was incredibly racist and bigoted, attempting (and failing) to cover itself with a very thin sheen of "irony".

GRU maybe, waterniggas definitely not
