I live in New York and new yorkers swear like drunken sailors. F-bombs every other word and the n-word gets slung around in every sentence, especially by black people. It’s baffling to me that this should be a problem in a country that supposedly respects free speech. People act like they have the right to not be offended and they don’t. There is no safe space in the Constitution, and yes our free speech applies online.
I’ve seen some people claim that free speech doesn’t apply on servers like reddit because they are privately owned. So Constitutional rights don’t extend to private property? Does that mean I can own slaves as long as I shackle them inside my house and can never escape? Because the 13th amendment wouldn’t apply inside my house? The bill of rights applies everywhere, including privately owned servers. No one has the right to be protected from offensive speech.
I got a site-wide permaban almost 2 years ago for a joke in r/losercity that was taken the wrong way and I got dogpiled by virtue-signalling furries. I’ve appealed my ban almost 10 times now and they reject it every time.
I don’t get it. They could have just given me a ban from the r/losercity subreddit instead. They didn’t need to ban me from the entire site. I haven’t caused any problems on other subs. I had over 30,000 karma on my account and it took me years to build it all up. I got along great with people in r/vtubers and r/votv and had a lot of fun there.
It’s so bizarre that one f-up gets a sudden permaban from the entire site. All I can think of is that one of the left-wingers in losercity is in with the admins and they called in a favor. It has to be a nepotism thing.
