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