It's about fucking time. Maybe /r/the_donald and /r/uncensorednews will be next...

Nah, the admins are just gonna sit on their thumbs until they brew up a real nice fart, then sniff for a bit while the nazis run rampant on their site.

I never realized how racist and cancerous r/uncensorednews is. Just looked and they are horrible.

u/jerkstorefranchisee Nov 08 '17

Also, unsurprisingly, they’re big fans of censorship

u/Greallon Nov 08 '17

And if you look in the header, that symbol between "Uncensored" and "News" is a valknut. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valknut#Modern_use

Here's what the message said:

That's actually the cutie mark of one of the ponies in the MLP S7 finale

I guess my spoiler CSS hack did not work for you and instead got interpreted as a real link by your browser or app.

u/iwtbo Nov 08 '17

It wasn't always like that.

From what I recall, that sub was created to cover the Pulse night club shooting without having threads deleted. I wonder when it became a racist cesspool because I was subbed to it when it was created, and unshbbed recently because I went to check it out and there there was nothing but racist articles being posted.

For a bunch of logical rational free thinking skeptics, reddit sure does believe anything that’s marketed the right way

Yeah, it’s not about getting better news, it’s about getting the news that your mom doesn’t want you to hear.

u/[deleted] Nov 09 '17

they look for what fits their worldview. just good old fashioned confirmation bias.

7

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '17

It's because people who think news is censored are just people who desperately want the world to fit their narrative when it doesn't, so they assume all news is fake instead.

God damn, there is not a single reputable source anywhere...

To be fair, T_D, while they support political ideas I abhor, are usually not as toxic as incels or fatpeoplehate were. They just hate on liberals and circlejerk about winning the election last year. Don't know much about uncensored news, I can only assume that it's the reddit version of breitbart, in which case that link is staying blue.

EDIT: Nevermind, apparently they were actively planning the charlottesville rally and one of the users was the one who killed a woman. Burn it all to the ground.

The guy who murdered his parents for being leftists was also a very active T_D user.

33

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '17

Yeah, I thought it was just a right-wing circlejerk until today, turns out it's much worse than that. Possibly the worst sub reddit has ever had, assuming no others have led to literal murder.

16

u/Ss6aaU6hiOZN1hJIsZF6 Nov 08 '17

reddit used to have subs explicitly dedicated to trafficking in child porn so this is still up for debate

15

u/MustSeeReason Nov 08 '17

hold on. A certain user frequenting a sub should not lead to the sub being banned. a sub should be banned if the sub posts actively condone hate and violence.

49

u/HelloAnnyong Nov 08 '17
  1. I didn't argue that T_D should be banned.
  2. I didn't argue that T_D should be banned solely because that user was active on the sub.
  3. I do think it should be banned.
  4. I disagree that "a sub should be banned [presumably only] if the sub posts actively condone hate and violence."
  5. I don't think it's very difficult to argue that T_D posts do actively condone hate and violence.
  6. Not sure what your point is.

You replied to someone saying it should be banned and said that also, the guy who killed his parents was a user. You were clearly implying that that was another reason the sub should be banned.

Incels literally celebrated Elliot Rodger by constantly declaring him a god and plastering his photo everywhere. He murdered blonde women who wouldn’t sleep with him.

At first I tried reaching out many times to help, as I genuinely felt bad, and they always attacked. I’m a guy who loves dirty / edgy comedy, loved opie and Anthony, etc and I was shocked!

17

u/xu85 Nov 08 '17

> He murdered blonde women who wouldn’t sleep with him.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Isla_Vista_killings

He killed one blonde woman, one brunette woman, and four men. You must have misremembered, it’s common.

25

u/jerkstorefranchisee Nov 08 '17

Mostly because he wasn’t good at anything, including targeted spree murders

17

u/NomadFire Nov 08 '17 edited Nov 08 '17

The ironic thing is he killed 3 men and 2 women who were in a similar social class as him. They more than likely would have hung out with him and been his friends. He also wanted to kill his half brother and step mother for similar silly reasons.

His goal was to kill tall good looking people that were socially better off than him. He felt that taller white good looking people deserved to die because they had things he didn't. so he wanted to killed sorority girls from the most popular sorority near compas. Failed and killed two girls that were in the least popular.

He was also half asian and felt that being asian was part of the reason he was an outcast and went to communities that supported the idea that western societies looked down on male asian. 3 of the guys he kills are male asians he lived with. It wasn't fast he stabbed them to death. After he killed those people he made the video many of us have seen before going on the shooting spree.

He shoots a tallest white male while shooting blindly into a convenience store. This is the only person that he kills that fits his narrative.

It never made a lot of sense why anyone would find him heroic at all. Let alone r/incel he would have likely had killed them before killing one of their imagined enemies.

I don't know what to really take from this. But I been hearing that if he had friends or got laid things would be different. I really doubt that.

u/voujon85 Nov 10 '17

He shot 3 sorority girls and wrote a novel about killing more. How could any sane person justify him

u/xu85 Nov 10 '17

He shot two and four men.

2014 Isla Vista killings

On May 23, 2014, in Isla Vista, California, 22-year-old Elliot Rodger killed six people and injured fourteen others near the campus of University of California, Santa Barbara, before killing himself inside his vehicle.

The attack began when Rodger stabbed three men to death in his apartment. Afterwards, he drove to a sorority house and shot three female students of the Tri Delta serority outside, killing two. He drove to a nearby deli and shot to death a male student who was inside.

Uncensored news is a Nazi subreddit.

u/RequiemEternal Nov 08 '17

Wasn’t there also a study showing that T_D had the largest overlap in users with incels?

u/DishwashingWingnut Nov 08 '17

Yeah they're really bad, like actual Nazi bad.

u/the_loneliest_noodle Nov 08 '17

I had such high hopes for that sub for like, a minute. I remember it popping up and thinking "Yeah, I see some weird censorship in the political subs, subbed.", and then saw the moderators and just going down the list and every single one being active or moderating in some neo-nazi white power bullshit subs and noped right the fuck out. I remember actually arguing with one of their mods who was saying they wouldn't let their political views get in the way, a few months later and they're posting anti immigrant propaganda from sources about as trustworthy as a magic 8 ball.

Signs point to Nazi.

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '17 edited Nov 10 '17

What signs? r/the_donald is nowhere even close to being a Nazi sub. Just a bunch of dudes and gals who REALLY love Trump.

edit: downvoted for not being against r/The_Donald. Typical reddit

u/Eyball440 Nov 08 '17

I think they’re talking about r/uncensorednews

u/Kailu Nov 08 '17

r/neutralnews is probably what you were imagining instead of the stormfront news network

u/comfortablesexuality Nov 08 '17

The fact that you assumed we were talking about t_d says it all really

u/TheRavenousRabbit Nov 08 '17

You know, guilt by association is one of the worst things you can use.

"Know that black guy? Yeah, the one that kidnapped that mentally retarded kid? Yeah, he was part of BLM. Burn it all down to the ground!"

That is ONE example I can pull.

28

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '17

Context is key here though. BLM is does not plan the kidnappings of mentally challenged kids. T_D planned a nazi march where one member killed someone. It's not just guilt by association, they clearly fostered an environment that encouraged that behavior.

24

u/jerkstorefranchisee Nov 08 '17

And before anyone tries the “but they didn’t know it was nazis,” the post contained a whole section about how there will be nazis there. There’s a limp little “now I don’t condone nazis,” and then he goes on to explain how the preservation of the white race or whatever is job number one and it’s important not to punch right so really we should all go hang out with these nazis and worry about not liking them later

u/cookiemanluvsu Nov 08 '17

You're kind of both framing shit incorrectly tbh

-2

u/TheRavenousRabbit Nov 08 '17

By this measure, Antifa and BLM are both responsible for the literal millions of deaths caused under the numerous communist regimes across the planet and history. Everyone from Stalin to Mao, who both hold the same ideological stance as these people - which by your standards, means that BLM and Antifa both nurture a culture and environment of genocide.

This is the problem with collectivist thinking, it isn't a person who is responsible. It is an ideology. A religion. A skin color...

The Donald did not plan to murder a person, just how these people did not plan to kidnap that kid. The BLM kids who kidnapped that child were influenced by the racist environment of the BLM and Antifa movements. It is literally on video of them talking how he is white, and that is the reason why they're torturing him. If BLM is not responsible for that, then TD is certainly not responsible for one lunatic.

u/[deleted] Nov 08 '17

I think that's a false equivalence. r/bestof literally has a thread right now where highly upvoted comments are advocating violent behavior. Nazis are not fringe on T_D. Some lunatics who happened to be bigoted against white people ARE fringe in BLM. The environment there specifically promotes violence, or at the very least, it's condoned. Surely you see the difference between a community that encourages violence and one that doesn't right? If BLM has a sub where highly ranked comments consistently claim things like "We should kill all white people," I'll be the first to condemn them for it.

For the record, it's weird that conservatives keep bringing up communism as if it has anything to do with the mainstream left. At the very "worst" we have people who want to implement socialist policies that have been very successful in France, Britain, Germany and others. It's disingenuous to conflate the two.

There’s still some glimmers of hope in uncensorednews but it’s fallen so deep compared to when it first came around. Seeing hateful, not fact checked, click bait articles being the top posts made me sad.

u/dai-the-flu Nov 08 '17

Are there really? I clicked on the comments on the first post there and saw the n-word about 4 times as well as something about blaming Muslims.
