They aren't out of touch. They are pushing their ideology on people.
Considering that the userbase revolted and has now forced them to remove that ugly rainbow from their page, I'd say that this was definitely a misjudgment on their part.
I thought it was removed, but apparently it was only up for new Reddit to begin with.
Hadn't even noticed the troonery. The arrogance of these lowlifes to try to force this garbage down the throat of one of the most conservative countries in the world.
This is why I believe that the EU and the US are the evil empires of the 21st century. China may exploit you economically, it may even get mad if you criticize its depredations in Hong Kong, but it's not going to try to destroy your culture and country.
The late Bernard Lewis wrote something very interesting about it, that it's called Satan because Satan is a seducer. And that's certainly true. Just look at how Ukraine was led into perdition by siren songs of prosperity and 'joining the West'.
These moderators treat their subs like our rulers treat our countries - as their personal possessions to do with as they please, rather than a res publica.
The users need to show them who is boss, as they did in this case.

Tell that to the people from Hong Kong. Or the Uighurs. Or the U.S. citizens who have died to fentanyl overdoses that somehow illegally makes its way from tightly-regulated manufacturing plants in China to Central or South America and then through the southern U.S. border.

Those are in Chinese territory. There's potentially Taiwan, but that's then the end of it.

For profit. I'm sure they're doing bad stuff in Europe as well, but the influence isn't nearly as negative as that of American culture.

It's absolutely still there as of right now.
Maybe you're looking at the old reddit. They never even bothered to change the old reddit.
Huh, that is weird. Yes, I do look at the Old Reddit.
But I'm happy that people are so displeased with it even though most people use Old Reddit.
Who removed what? https://www.reddit.com/r/Egypt/ still has the rainbow and tranny pyramids at the top.

I've been coming around to think that whole "Great Satan" business might not be that far off.

Looks like they got rid of it after all, even on default reddit. It's gone now.

Makes sense since new reddit is for fags and trannys.

I don't see any rainbow shit when I go to that link.
There was still a banner with a pyramid with a tranny flag and one with a rainbow flag when I posted. Looks like they got rid of it now.
