Reddit's New Content Policy: Hate Towards "Majority" Groups Permissable

Rule 1: Remember the human. Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people. Everyone has a right to use Reddit free of harassment, bullying, and threats of violence. Communities and people that incite violence or that promote hate based on identity or vulnerability will be banned.

Marginalized or vulnerable groups include, but are not limited to, groups based on their actual and perceived race, color, religion, national origin, ethnicity, immigration status, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, pregnancy, or disability. These include victims of a major violent event and their families.

While the rule on hate protects such groups, it does not protect all groups or all forms of identity. For example, the rule does not protect groups of people who are in the majority or who promote such attacks of hate.

For a start it's contradictory,

While the rule on hate protects such groups, it does not protect all groups or all forms of identity.

Another issue is the vague use of the term "majority". It's obviously a reference to the majority demographic of North America, Europe, Australia etc but would a member of this "majority" be permitted to post hatred on reddit if they lived in Africa or Asia where they are a minority?

On a global scale this "majority" is actually a minority.

It's okay to hate old, married, white, Christian, males or any combination of those.

Leftists demonized the groups above and created "hate speech" so that it can only go one direction.

Wow they literally put it in their terms of use haha

On a global scale anything not east asian is a minority.

Perfect, in the terms of use too. Very groovy.

The left's supposed indignation over "racism" is all pretense. They don't actually believe there's a moral imperative to not treat people unfavorably based on presumptions about members of their race. They've just embraced that rhetoric because it resonates with reasonable people. But it's obvious now that for the left it's just used as part of a bait and switch.

Lol what? They said right in the other quote that that wasnt true

The sociopathic side of me is impressed by this.

Create new terms like "hate speech," while redefining long-established terms like racism to fit your own goals and narratives.

In the end, you can get away with blatant racism and prejudice because you changed the meaning of those words to fit your own agenda.

Well played!

These people thing they are on the right side of history, lol.

 

[Fronk]

Reddit should've done the reasonable and obvious thing and kept the first statement, without the addendum, and then allow hate towards the "majority" (read straight white men) like most platforms does anyway.

They dropped the ball here and spilled the beans. It's like a dress code for a club to keep the ugly people out. You don't actually state your real purpose.

 

[Lord_Impaler]

Leftists calling other people racist is farcical at this point.

 

[Big Brain]

These people think they are on the right side of history, lol.

they think they are on the right side of power too lol

Yep, white people only make up around 8% of the world population and occupy a relatively small area of the planet. Yet an Indian, who has 1.3 billion fellow countrymen and women in his homeland, can move to Iceland, where there are only 350,000 Icelandic people, and be automatically granted minority status and all the victimhood points that go with it. The whole thing a sham.

I love it when leftists try to argue with me that the right remains the more racist half of the political spectrum.

The left is intentionally institutionalizing racism everywhere they possibly can.

Well, they at least redefined what they believe racism is and not being racist towards white people is racist. Because they live in a Clown World.

I'm not a Trump supporter, and I never will be.

It’s same as how rules have been enforced on Sherdog.
