I have had multiple accounts through 15 years on reddit but reddit has become hardcore ban happy and I’ve stopped even trying to get around it at this point and have stopped using the site completely.
So what was the dumbest reason you were banned?
Mine was going into a far right sub that was discussing lord of the rings, for some reason lotr is huge with the far right including the current vp. Anyway all I did was post lotr sucks and a video link to clerks 2 where Randall tells Elias and the customer that the movie is nothing but walking and that the true ending should be frodo bricking into Sam’s mouth.
I got reported and site wide permabanned from a far right sub for gay bashing when the intent was anything but that. That’s when I noticed the glory days of reddit were starting to fade.
I love lotr, but unfortunately a lot of the fans are far right and kinda unhinged.
Try saying you find it weird and unreasonable that elves supposedly never have sex with their spouses unless they want to consummate the marriage or procreate (so an elf couple with only one child will have only had sex twice in their lives, for example), and the other fans will react as though you personally insulted their mothers.
I don’t go that deep into it. The entire political aspect to me is just strange, like opposite world level. For my generation any nerd stuff/fantasy/DND/gaming was usually mocked or discouraged by right leaning adults. And I considered most people into stuff like that left leaning as most of us did it to rebel against over overzealous relligious parents.
So to see stuff like lotr embraced by the right or incel gamers during gamergate it iis just very odd to me.
