A few examples include s*x questions on askreddit, “this” comments, nolife powermods, jokes being more frequent than actual answers

      maybe if you were actively looking for them or are very easy on the trigger of calling people racist, yeah they weren’t contained I guess

        Apathy toward intolerance only allows it to fester. You don’t walk past a pile of embers and shrug just because nothing’s currently on fire.

            Protecting minorities so our communities can be a diverse place makes them so much better though. No one claims it will end racism that is just a ridiculous straw man.

              they almost always were in their own little corner
              there’s no protecting minorities if they choose to go to racist places
              on the typical subreddits mods or even the admins themselves were fast to remove comments or posts so they were “protected”

                I mean not really that’s not how it was at all. Default subreddits were filled with racism. Comments and posts were not removed unless the comment was straight up saying slurs. Comments filled with less overt racism were heavily upvoted.

                    It would be a lot easier for me to do if i hadn’t deleted my reddit account. It is all over basically ever post muslims are demonized, the american military is not the evil it obviously is, mra’s and anti-feminists infest the site, Moral police ranting against black lives matter, both siding between people wanting to live and the people who want to kill them, transphobia is the default and so many more hateful opinions were the default on reddit.

                If you were lucky enough to never encounter them, then well, congratulations. That certainly wasn’t my experience, or, I’d wager, a common experience.
