So for those who are out of the loop, r/ActualPublicFreakouts formed from the frustration of non-public freakouts were becoming more common on the original subreddit. As of late there has become a more noticeable shift in what types of posts get to the top of the pages. I've also seen comments in passing the past few months accusing r/ActualPublicFreakouts being full of racist nazis in other subreddits.
The question is how long before a move to censor or outright ban the spin off subreddit since the political and cultural shift goes against the Reddit group think.
I'm bent out of shape on the stupidity of the argument that "I think we should deport blacks out of America because I watched too many YouTube videos. I have literally no agency or ability to reason, so therefore I became racist because YouTube made me recognize-patterns/fall-down-the-alt-right-pipeline."
It's a stupid argument and I hate it.
I absolutely do think it's immoral because the perspective is factually wrong most of the time because it is a misapplication of statistics fueled by a personal emotional failure in the form of resentment and distrust.
I'm already doing the 'what about a man walking down the street' scenario with someone else, so I'll use that point here. I hope you understand how utterly useless racial generalizations are to the point that they have to be dropped immediately given any change in behavior.
If I see a woman walking down the street, and I'm relying on gender based generalizations, then I assume she's not a threat. The moment she reaches into her pocket, she becomes a more likely threat. More likely of a threat than a man who doesn't.
It effectively becomes even less useful than "what are they wearing?" If you look poor and disheveled, most people will see you as more of a threat. If the generalization has less utility than the fact that you are wearing a tie or high-heels, then it serves almost effectively zero purpose.
More than well aware, and I often have to explain it to people.
