LOL, I was just permantly banned from /r/metalmemes for referring to transphobes as "cunts".

On behalf of the metal community, everyone is welcome. Fuck transphobia. Pick all your brothers, sisters, and non-binary family off the ground and lift them up.

Sounds pretty cunty of em.

I got a 6 day ban from reddit for telling a mod in r/funny that it's not right to judge a person for posting a meme in a different sub. Which is what convinced me to make an account on Lemmy

That subreddit sucks. They banned Sabaton for being “Nazis”. I don’t think they’ve ever listened to Sabaton.

the problem is that you were visiting a space that begins with /r/.

...And you're on an instance called "aussie zone". Isn't cunt practically a term of endearment down there?

I was banned from r/politics for "hate speech" for comparing Krysten Sinema to Delores Umbridge from Harry Potter. The totally arbitrary enforcement of the rules by authoritarian mods is a large part of the reason I made the migration to Lemmy after more than 14 years on Reddit. I was a refuge from the Digg migration, and am now a refuge from Reddit bullshit and proud of it!

I got a ban once for calling someone a good cunt in a supposedly Australian run sub because someone else got offended by it for some reason.

It is an actual term of endearment in Australia.

Everyone's the same in the pit.

Metal memes is a shit tier sub anyway, you ain't missing nothing.

Strange, I'm perfectly able to enjoy metal without resorting to misogynistic slurs, but maybe I'm the odd one out here.

But, I don't understand. That's the scientific definition, how can they be angry about that?

It's somehow normal to call anyone a -phobe or an -ist for pretty much any reason, or just by an unrelated assumption. You can't be surprised if some people don't appreciate it.

Please ban me too, I agree that they're cunts.

1- why are you still on Reddit? 2- I kind of agree with them. You can be metal without being an ass.

Cunt seems to be one of their no no words over there. I’ve cursed up and down all over the place, but the moment I call someone a cunt I get banned from the sub I’m on.

I mean, have you seen how easy it is to get transphobes banned?

All they have to do is say trans people aren't the gender they say and it's an immediate ban. That's kind of egregious to me and not conducive to discussion.

Meanwhile you can call someone a 'stupid piece of a shit' and it's acceptable if they don't believe trans people are another gender.

Edit: Thank you for deleting the hateful and insulting comment calling someone a stupid piece of shit. I was wrong :)

Ah yes, reddit going the twitter route.

What a poser move of them.

The C word is for shouting at traffic, with your windows roiled up. It's not for using on public forums, or really anywhere else.
Grow up, op.

C U Next Tuesday

That's not very metal of them

Ive always thought of memes as 1 panel comic strips. Id assume that people that need their information cut up into toddler size pieces and spoonfed may have trouble tying their shoes. I avoid any meme related stuff for this reason. Seems the quality of discourse is similar to the quality of content.

Their loss.
