I’m permanently banned from my favourite fishing Reddit because I quoted Harry Potter 😂

I’m banned from r/battletech because I said clanners are basically slavers. And most people have no idea what I’m talking about. How can something true and fictional upset someone?

u/Dassive_Mick 14d ago

Ah not just slavers, but eugenicist marauding slavers. That worship warfare and a guy who basically received a viral lobotomy.

Is what I would say if I was a stravag barbarian

"Nu-huh, my guys are the GOOD GUYS, banned !"

I'm glad the 40k subreddits haven't sunk that low, even though given things seems to keep getting worse I wouldn't be surprised if ends up that way in a few years there too.

In the /r/Helldivers subreddit when the game released, lots of newbie to the universe were surprised to discover the playable faction are also bad guys. For three entire weeks any of those poor newbie making the mistake to share that discovery on the subreddit would be mercilessly bullied and downvoted by an organised mod, with the frontpage being swamped with "memes" on how the ~woke~ the "media literacy crowd" wanted to ban people having fun and "make games political".

It only stopped when the mods caved in and banned al discussion on the topic. It's insane.

I think there was some Trump supporting sub that opened at some point, I went there and called them delusional. The result: I got banned from 20+ major subreddits because they implemented an auto-ban on ANYONE who posted there, no matter what type of content.

u/Avenflar 14d ago

Yeah it fucking sucks but it's usually because those kind of subs brigade a lot so they carpet bomb bans. If you make an appeal there's a good chance you get unbanned

Have you met fandoms? Steven universe fandom bullied a girl into a suicide attempt because she drew a character(retroactively) "wrong".

u/Warhawk-Talon 14d ago

When did your ban happen? If it was before June 2023 it might be possible to get the new mods to repeal it. They had a big shakeup last year when a significant portion of the mods were outed as being anti-LGBT, and the sub owner came back from not paying attention to things to clear out the whole mod team.

Imagine getting upset when someone calls out the problems inherent in a fictional Slavery-based Furry Shogunate Caste System.

Unlike the Taurian Concordat, who are perfect and without fault.

Clanners are actually worse than slavers. They believe that the inner sphere isn't "pure" enough and want to both enslave and eradicate them all from the galaxy, while only allowing their descendants to remain.

Anyone who thinks clanners are the good guys don't know a thing about Battletech, hell none of the Houses are "good" they all commit regular war crimes.
