[QUOTE=SigmaLambda;35548697]"free speech" stops at inciting acts of violence, which is what the various "beating women/transgender/etc" subreddits do[/QUOTE] what's your point?

[QUOTE=Ast_risk;35548575]I have no clue as to the first question. I acknowledge that some of the admins are wrong, I'm simply stating that one shouldn't be so quick to judge a site of thousands of subforums based only one of those subforums. I don't even visit Reddit often, so don't mistake me for blindly defending them, I'm just being objective. As for the second question, freedom of speech. Reddit is far from being the only forum with racism and sexism. Can you honestly say that Facepunch is free of it? I understand your point though, and I agree with you that these things, among the others mentioned should be stopped. And as for the third question, I'd say /r/askreddit, /r/IAMA, and /r/pics generate some good content.[/QUOTE]Reddit is a privately owned website, they have the option of limiting certain viewpoints that are morally wrong without infringing on anyone's free speech. The free speech argument does not work in this case, people make a judgement on the website as a whole when the admins allow those subreddits and posts to be there, /r/mensrights even has admitted rapists on there yet they are not banned. One of the most popular users on the website (violentacrez) is an admitted pedophile who had sex with his stepdaughter and ran the majority of the creepy child porn subreddits yet he is in regular contact with many of the admins. And no, facepunch is not free of it but it's a damn sight better than reddit. I do wish it was a bit more like SA with super harsh bans if you're a particularly shitty person though. There are some good subreddits but it's really telling when the majority of the popular ones are full to the brim with crap. The good ones are actually the largely moderated ones such as /r/askscience. [editline]13th April 2012[/editline] Btw, this whole thing was some awful troll attempt [URL]http://www.reddit.com/r/ShitRedditSays/comments/s73yu/meta_this_world_has_some_twisted_fucks_in_it/[/URL] the guy in the op has nothing to do with reddit, someone just used his death to create drama. Awful.

I like Facepunch as it is, we get rid of complete retards, but we generally have a pretty chilled out environment. The moderators feel like protectors rather than like prosecutors.

Went to /r/athiesm to see why everybody was calling it shit. First thing I saw?

I hope Reddit has to shut down. I really do.

[QUOTE=Midas22;35552128]I hope Reddit has to shut down. I really do.[/QUOTE] If Reddit gets shut down, then what stops them from shutting down facepunch? And oh god what would happen if they would all go to facepunch instead!?

[QUOTE=eternalflamez;35552314]And oh god what would happen if they would all go to facepunch instead!?[/QUOTE] Like we usually deal with new people here, ban them until they understand how to behave properly.

What the total fuck

[QUOTE=MisterMooth;35552580] But hey, let's blame the entirety of Reddit some more because we're superior right guys[/QUOTE] do i have to answer this

It's funny because the subreddit that's getting blamed for "egging on" the guy is one that points out all the horrible shit that gets posted on reddit. And it turns out they're not really posters from that subreddit either. Seems like it was just one big hoax by butthurt /r/mensrights twats.

[QUOTE=lotusking;35544362]facepunch is like a bunch of prepubescent angsty teenagers pretending they've had sex and are good at it.[/QUOTE] Actually, Fpers are usually pretty honest about themselves. A bit underestimating themselves, even.

[QUOTE=Mr. Smartass;35549261]But this poster is, for the most part, correct.[/QUOTE] No it isn't. It is entirely incorrect. 1. The "Dark Ages" were, more the most part, a misnomer. There were a shit-ton of scientific advances in Mediaeval Europe. I've listed them before in an angrier rant here, so I'll just [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_technology]link to the Wikipedia page.[/url] The concept was invented in the Renaissance to make their love affair for all things classical seem more "enlightened" and such. What modern historians call the Dark Ages - a term rarely used, due to its negative connotations - is the lack of written history in the period. This was, in fact, worse in pagan areas, as the Catholic Church had many monks and bishops write chronicles of history and current events in the area they worked in. The Venerable Bede - called the Father of English History and responsible for popularising the AD/BC system we use today - was a monk. 2. Teaching Creationism today has nothing to do with past medical advancements. At all. In any way. This picture is fucking dumb.

What is so terrible about reddit, anyway?
