OC This could be us, but

I don’t need much. I want eat sweets without getting fat, I want to feel wanted and I want equal rights. Is it much to ask?

Somehow this post is attracting incels.

They must be drawn to it via some kind of inexplicable desire to "not all men" and "actually I agree with the guy in the comic" at us.

That's ok.

They only do that once here.

We have the best subreddit in the world.

Because of ban.

I’m a lurker on this sub, pretty sure I’ve never commented here at all.

Popping my r/comics cherry to say that more subs need a mod team like y’all have here.

(Looking at you, r/politics.)

Politics is the most ban happy sub on reddit.

u/thejimbo56 Jul 29 '26

Politics will ban you for calling a fascist bootlicker a fascist bootlicker because Nazis have feelings and we must not be uncivil.

I prefer subs that ban the fascist bootlicker.

I got banned from politics for suggesting that we should yeet Mitch McConnell into the Grand Canyon. I can understand banning someone over a realistic threat of violence, but that? That's just silly.

i mean he’s not even alive, so is it even a threat?

u/scoyne15 Aug 01 '26

Well this was more than half a decade ago. Once it's confirmed though, going to reach out to appeal my ban.

Andrew Tate is currently in jail in a cell next to a cannibal, which reminded me of Silence of the Lambs, and I just got a reddit-wide warning for musing about what happened to the misogynist one cell over from Hannibal in that movie/book. This site is heading in a bad direction...

The worst perspective is the one held by bigots.

The second worst perspective is the one held by people who freely associate with bigots.

Referring to OP as a troll certainly reveals some things about you.

Interacting with people you disagree with on matters that it is reasonable to disagree about is necessary.

Interacting with people who believe that women shouldn’t have the same rights as men is not. They should be shunned and mocked, talked about but never talked to.

Good luck with the misogyny 👍

I definitely have no love for bigots, that’s true.

In case it wasn’t clear, “Good luck with the misogyny 👍” was a far more polite dismissal than you deserve. Let me be more clear: We’re done here. There is no productive conversation to be had with misogynists or people who make excuses for them. Have the day you deserve 👍

They need to change their beliefs, before they are allowed to redeem themselves. They can fix themselves or they can go away.

I’m in the realm of banning people who don’t believe women are people. I’ll punish that thought for free.

I don’t owe them anything - especially not a liferope

I do not need to tolerate people who don’t believe in civil and human rights

I do not agree with you. I think you are carrying water for misogynists
