Raddle and "Ableism"

submitted by TimesThreeTheHighest from self.censorship

I stand accused of "ableism" on Raddle, and the mod there has already threatened me with a ban. Is this really a thing now, or is this something specific to Raddle?

It's a Raddle thing. They're far left and intent on keeping it that way.

Praise Satan. I was worried this was an internet-wide thing and I hadn't noticed. Funny thing is I'm not sure how my comments were "right-leaning" even now. Some guy (had to be a guy) made a comment on how only white guys masturbate to/view porn, and my contradictory point of view triggered the downvote contingent.

After it happened I wondered if the whole thing was a joke.

Raddle is filled with shrieking hand wringers who feel that Reddit is to right wing lol. It's like a whole website of chapotraphouse type freaks.

First time my beliefs were described as right wing. Ever. I guess compared to some Raddle users I'm just a step away from Republican.

When I think about it now I'm surprised it took them so long to "attack" me. It was only after reviewing the Terms of Service that I realized how batshit crazy that site is.

Hell if I'm going back there. It's easily found though. :)

I was almost banned for asking about why I was banned from /r/Anarchism, legitimately trying to change the opinions I was banned for. I'm pretty sure both were using the Delphi Technique on me…

They have their own exclusive language, that's for sure. I seriously couldn't figure out what one of the dudes there was talking about. He kept referring me to some online dictionary that reeked of idiocy and hurt feelings.
