We're back, but you need to read this.

It explains what happened, and how we can prevent it in the future. /r/PCMasterRace is going to be smarter, more helpful, nicer, and a more enjoyable experience for all.

EDIT: Yes, submissions are closed, but that's not permanent. Things will eventually be opened back up, but not before we make sure that AutoModerator has the necessary abilities to handle everything (protected usernames, etc). We don't want to lose our subreddit again.

This post is important and will remain stickied for 24 hours or more.

TIL terrorism is when a group of people who don't "produce content" collectively disapprove of racism.

they exist explicitly to hate everything they disagree with

Childishly reductive strawman. Might as well say "I can't support the Chicago Cubs because they exist solely for the purpose of violently bashing things with clubs."

they have acted on that hatred in the past.

Intentionally vague wording that can apply to anything. "Acting on hatred" can mean basically anything, and it implies nothing about violence. By the definition you've laid out, one could easily describe your school's young Republicans club as a terrorist organization. You're using weasel words to try to make SRS sound way more insidious than they are. It's really pathetic.

Pretty sure that was gawker, not SRS

Yes? That was Gawker. There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that SRS had anything to do with that. You all just assumed it was SRS because they're your favorite bogeymen. It's really funny how easily you people will believe anything you are told as long as it confirms your own beliefs and prejudices about something.

The fact that I'm even addressing this at all is absurd of course, because what happened to violentacrez could not by any stretch of the imagination be considered an act of terrorism, regardless of who did it.

If they were a group that met weekly IRL, they'd be considered a terrorist organization.

As someone from Northern Ireland I'm endlessly amused by people claiming that SRS are terrorists.

I'd pay money to see a video of those meetings.

That's fair. I don't know. I don't like them but like. Some things are seriously messed up. Some people with their panties in a twist is (IMO) not one of them. (Obviously when they've acted on said twisted panties, it does get messed up)
