Aaand r/superstraight has just been banned. Was that even a week?

Banning it just makes is spread faster. When they banned fat people hate it lead me to coon town, when that got banned it led me to niggers on voat. They could have kept it quarantined inside a single sub where it hurt no one except the feefees of fat fucks. Instead they ended up redpilling a lot of people.

I would never have been exposed to the JQ if Fat People Hate had never been banned.

It really is hilarious how some of this shit starts.

Between Gamer Gate and the mass Reddit purges that all led to Trump and Ring-Wing populism.

Pretty much got red pilled because I was curious about all the shit getting banned. I know lots of others who are the same.

For me it was the principle. If reddit wouldn't allow free speech I would find alternatives. I ended up on Voat and Poal and was exposed to an insane amount of information and arguments and views that I literally never would have seen if reddit simply hadn't started banning a bunch of shit. Reddit directly caused my swing from considerably left-leaning to far right lmao.

Reddit red pilled me by banning me.

About 6-7 years ago, I found out that the plaque outside of Auschwitz that used to say 5 million people were killed there, with 3 million being jews. The plaque today says 1.5 million people killed there, with 1 million being jews, but that's not even correct, upon further review, the death count had been changed to 1.1 million people with "nearly a million" being jews.

6-7 years ago, Google hadn't really started agendizing their search results, so I could search "how many jews actually died during the holocaust" and get affairly ddiverse set of results. Anywhere from 150,000 to the fabled 6 million.

So, I asked on r/askhistorians, "If the number of jews killed at Auschwitz was reduced from 3 million to 'nearly a million' why hasn't the number of jews killed during the holocaust been reduced from 6 million to 4 million?"

I was immediately banned for being a Nazi. I wasn't even "red pilled" on the holohoax yet, but this only drove me to dig deeper.
