Here's a copy of my post without the fucking redacted parts:
Some of you may be new, or recently returning to this sub. As such, you may be forgetting exactly how bad Reddit is, but I'm happy to use this mass shooting as a teachable moment. I assure you, over the past several years, we have seen all of these removals personally:
Since the shooter is transgender, comment and post removals will take place on this sub in all of the following situations:
The shooter must not be "traditionally gendered". That is considered an attack on an identity group. If you do not know the gender of the shooter, you may refer to them as 'the shooter', or 'individual' or by their last name.
The shooter is not to be called ugly. That is considered an attack on an identity group. No transgender person is allowed to be called ugly or unattractive on Reddit.
THE SECRET RULE IS NOW IN EFFECT. The shooter is not to be identified as having ANY [mental illness]. [This includes depression, suicidal ideation, gender dysphoria, none of them]. That is considered an attack on an identity group. This includes statements from the shooter themselves. By Reddit's rules, the shooter is wrong to claim that they [are mentally ill], based on their gender identity.
Calling for the death penalty for mass shooters is considered a call to violence. Death penalty advocacy of any kind is considered a call to violence.
Celebrating the death of the mass shooter is considered "grave dancing" which is considered glorification of violence.
Many people misunderstand Rule 1: This rule explicitly allows for identity based attacks on non-vulnerable demographics such as men, heterosexuals, Christians, 'cisgenders', etc. That being said, this subreddit will remove comments that we consider to be identity based attacks on those groups, whether or not Reddit sees those groups as deserving of hate. We consider that a violation of our rules, as we do not believe an entire demographic should be excluded from universal protections because Reddit deems them to be morally inferior.
Sorry, u/AntonioOfVenice , it looks like they really DID remove you for saying that we had to remove comments that said Post-Ellen Paige had depression.
This is the comment they removed for "harassment"
Comment Removed: You are not allowed to allege that any transgender has ever had any mental illness on Reddit.
A centrist from the 90s would absolutely be considered a right wing extremist today.
You mean Donald Trump?
