That's verbatim? Just writing "GTA V should not be censored" got you banned?
- gymbeaux 3y agoI believe it. That really sounds typical of Reddit.
- flangola7 3y agoI don't believe it at all. My unreliable narrator radar is blowing up.
- gymbeaux 3y agoI have been banned from subreddits for comments like that. The equivalent of "I don't think censoring GTA V is a good idea". Seriously. Maybe the mods thought it was a bot account? Maybe they just disagreed with me. Maybe my account was too new but they didn't bother sending an explanation message? I don't know.
- zirgs 3y agoGTA games have been making fun of pretty much everyone. But there's this one group that you're not allowed to tell jokes about. I'm old enough to remember how gamers laughed at people like Jack Thompson who wanted to censor and ban video games. But now people like him are moderating gaming subreddits and saying that censorship is good actually.
- flangola7 3y agoIf it's the group I think you're talking about, you forgot your triple parentheses. I have no idea who Jack Thompson is. Gamers are disproportionately shithead teenagers whose parents neglected to teach them that the n and t words are not the peak of comedy, so it sounds like Thompson is much needed presence.
