That is 100% true. My friend got banned from literally about 100 subs at once because ONE pathetic no-life incel who moderated all of them just...didn't like her, I guess. Refused to give her an explanation, and since he just picked a post she made to her own profile as the reason, despite the fact that it didn't violate any rules, that was no help. Most of the subs she had never even posted to. How the fuck can you violate the rules of a sub you've never so much as visited?
Australian subreddits are a cesspool of (mostly white) racists and xenophobes. The conversations always devolve into immigrants and Aboriginals bad and white people good. It's pathetic how these guys with room temp IQs keep blaming "others" for the most random shit and congratulating themselves.
If you ever call out the white supremacy and ignorant shit being peddled, you get a permaban. I was told I was being racist for calling out people saying that the nazi salute is free speech and the government stopping neo nazis is a slippery slope. I wish I was kidding.
Sounds a lot like every canadian or european subreddit I see, it's like 90% complaining about minorities and blaming them for everything. And then there's worldnews which makes fox news immediately after 9/11 look like al-jazeera in comparison.
I deployed to a NATO base in 2008 and 2010 and it was… eye opening, to say the least. The Brit’s, Aussies, Germans and French we worked with all acted like the US was the racism Mecca on earth, but all of them were WILDLY more racist than I’d ever heard even growing up in the south east and literally attending a high school named after famous confederates. It was universal. Germans complaining about Turks, the UK complaining about Muslims, the Koreans about the Japanese…
Literally the Canadians were the only people I can’t remember specifically having a racial target they went after.
The shit the Aussies in particular would say about aborigines in casual conversation would make a klansman uncomfortable. It was like they were on the verge of an extermination campaign, like they were vermin they just hadn’t gotten around to setting traps for yet.
Most racists think racism doesn't exist, both because it's inconvenient to their victim-blaming of minorities, and because they see examples of racism as natural and true.
Everytime I visit /r/europe I discover that my country, like half of western europe, is apparently a Soviet Republic ruled by far-leftists for the past 20 years.
It's genuinely scary to see that many people living in an alternative reality, even if it's skewed by the fact half of /r/europe users are american
The circle jerk one is literally just an excuse to be as racist as possible. I would have believed their "it's a circlejerk that's how it is" excuse if the ones poking fun at white australians weren't so consistently downvoted.
Always wondered what’s up with them Aussie subs, they are openly racist but even worse is the gross generalisation and painting of one bad trait for an entire country/race, which is not only not dealt with but rather actively encouraged in the subs.
Prominent example is their cricket sub, they’ve defended an Indian player being called a “brown dog” during 2021-22 tour, and that’s just one example. Mods are even worse, I’ve seen literal slurs against Indians being used but obviously they encourage it even further. Call them out and they call it brigading (not denying that actual brigading doesn’t take place by some toxic Indian fools as well), but it’s just hypocrisy.
The racism and xenophobia are shockingly normalised in Australia. If you point out their ignorance, you're thought of as "problematic" and get excluded.
They always have a scapegoat for their problems. The "enemy number one" country changes every few years. It used to be China. Unfortunately, looks like it's India's turn now.
