    I was banned from Reddit for saying I enjoyed the parts of red dead redemption 2 where you had to kill slave owners and kkk members. Literally said I enjoyed a mainstream video game and the main quest. Inciting violence against polygons in an imaginary world that took place 150 years ago.

    Imagine saying you enjoyed playing Wolfenstein.

    14 year account. RIP.

      Reddit also banned me for saying nazis deserve to be punched. A comment I made under a post similar to this. Appearantly making such posts is fine, but commenting the same shit is unforgivable.

      Yeah, I’m not sure what’s up over there where it suddenly became not ok to punch Nazis.

      It used to be even mainstream media encouraged punching Nazis. Don’t watch an old Blues Brothers movie if punching Nazis offends you too I guess.

      I think reddit ostensibly banned /r/ChapoTrapHouse because the mods weren’t banning people who said slave owners should be killed.

      Wolfenstein: new order is pretty sus.

      In the game there’s actually a Jewish Cabal conspiring against the third riche, which would make the Nazis…right?

      Great game tho 7.8/10

        And that kind of shit is exactly the reason why there’s still a denazified German version. Killing Nazis isn’t the issue, putting them in a metaphysical context, derealising them, etc, is what’s the problem. You don’t want kids one day to think of Nazis as fictional characters.

          Wrong. Nazi symbolism is just straight up banned in Germany. There are exceptions for stuff like documentaries and also for use in art. Movies have been accepted as art for a while. Videogames only recently. The regular version os The New Order is now available in Germany. I am german and I have bought on steam.

      I got booted for saying we should kill them, in relation to a repeat offender pdf file.

      Literally the next comment in the thread was saying it should be legal.

    Image Transcription: Text and Image:


    THIS IS *NOT* OKAY.

    This sets a dangerous example, and we need to talk about it.

    If you punch a Nazi like this, you’re going to break your wrist. Remember, make contact with the largest two knuckles (index and middle finger) and keep a strong wrist. You want to hurt the Nazi, not yourself!

    Stay safe out there and keep punching Nazis.

    This has been a public service announcement.

    [Two images shown side by side. The first shows a young man in a black shirt standing on a crowded sidewalk, his hand raised above his head in the historical “Nazi salute” with a lightly smug expression. There is a person’s hand holding up their middle finger prominently in his direction visible from the right side of the screen, but everything past their forearm is out of the image frame. In the second image, the same man in the black shirt is shown with his hand at his side, as a second man in an orange shirt is shown in the middle of punching the taller black-shirted man in the jaw. The fist of the man punching is angled slightly upwards at the wrist, so his fist makes contact at the knuckles on his fingers rather than using the flat surface of a typical punch. The image is captured before the man in the black shirt reacts to the punch. The hand holding up a middle finger is still visible in the right of the frame.]

      Probably because it’s not okay to assault people who you disagree with or find unforgivable. Down votes and punching is easy, little kid stuff. Seeing where they are coming from, what they’ve been through, and understanding why they are this way, and helping them see their way out of it. That is the difficult part.

        “People I don’t agree with” and “Nazis” aren’t the same people. I sympathize with people who have lives that lead them down the path to that, but once they’ve committed themselves to Nazism and start saluting in the street, then there’s no more sympathy.

        To be clear, you can come back from a lot of shitty beliefs. I have. But I also didn’t march in white pride parades with swastikas. I’m not talking about run of the mill conservatives.

      My parents raised me with unfortunate views, as did the churches they forced me to attend. It was only through life experience that I came to realize they were wrong.

      Violence didn’t help me, it made me feel isolated and more inclined to think that those using violence against me didn’t have rational arguments against my views.

      Violence doesn’t win arguments, and it should be a last resort, using it for instant gratification is a sure strategy to prolong conflict.

          How could you call them Nazi?!?!

          They’re only saluting Hitler, the literal figure of the Nazi movement and regime – see, absolutely innocent!

          The word Nazi gets used so inflatedly these days. Also, why is everyone calling me Nazi?

        Legit, my entire account and all of the accounts that ever touched the OFFICAL reddit app, were all removed when I made a comment “Yeah, punch a Nazi, with a bullet.”

        The accounts were all insta/perma-banned across all of reddit for this one comment.

        Basically reddit was defending Nazis.

        I am kind of not too sad to see reddit start sinking.

          Oh yeah. When one of those subs start laughing it up about “free helicopter rides”, crickets. Reddit let them do that for YEARS before public outcry forced them to exercise some asshole control.

          When people started laughing about Richard Spenser getting punched, the bans started flying almost immediately.

          Let’s call /u/spez what he is: a Nazi sympathizer.

      Commies speedrun civilization suicide because the government hoards all the money and let the workers starve.

      Nazis drag out the process because capitalism incentivizes work (until it doesn’t, e.g. LSC) and maximizing suffering for outgroups gets them off, but eventually their anti-intellectual groupthink hits critical mass and they unalive themselves in some colossally stupid fashion while claiming germs aren’t real and that they totally didn’t get scammed out of their life savings because Lord Donald told them to.
