Nude pictures of people under the age of 18 is considered child porn in most jurisdictions. But okay, I should've been clearer: they allowed nude pictures of 16-year-olds, and sexualized pictures of even younger people, if the "key areas" were covered.

The term "SJW" is so overused and diluted at this point that it barely has any meaning, it's just a thought-terminating cliché.

Voat has been spammed with child porn, and ddos'd at least twice shortly after becoming a threat to reddit. This is identical to what happened to 8chan for a while. Someone definitely has it out for Voat, and SJWs have a motive, but admittedly, I can't actually prove it's SJWs. If I had to guess, it's probably from SomethingAwful.

But SJW bloggers attacking Voat right after trolls spammed it with CP? Suspicious.

Depends on your politics. The closer you are to their politics, the less extreme they'll seem to you.

The second article I quoted directly cited voat rules. I quote them again: "Do not post anyone under the assumed age of 16 fully nude. If they are younger please post them with some key areas covered."

Did the article just made that up, or the rules were also a result of an SJW attack on voat?

But I do not support any attack on voat. If all the redditors who are outraged because their freedom to post creepshots and hate on fat people have been violated migrate over there, maybe reddit will become tolerable.

Again, that's not child porn.
Secondly, it's kind of difficult to phrase it in a way that covers exactly what you want without banning something ridiculous. Is an underage girl in a bikini "sexualized"? Is a naked child in a bathtub child porn?

But I do not support any attack on voat. If all the redditors who are outraged because their freedom to post creepshots and hate on fat people have been violated migrate over there, maybe reddit will become tolerable.


You misunderstand. They're not getting rid of "harassers" or "haters". Only specific groups, for whatever reason. You should never expect rules to be applied equally.

This is why subreddits like Coontown hasn't been banned.

Pointing out the Coontown still exists only points out that they're not getting rid of subreddits in the specific order of most offensive to least offensive. They'll shut down Coontown eventually, along with Black People Twitter and anything else that's not politically correct. I'll miss Black People Twitter the most.

Actual black person tweet: "If you ever want a white dude to stop botherin' you, throw him some cheese. White people love cheese!"

That nigga was so hilarious, he made me spit out my cheese. Cheese! It goes with my latte!

In 2 years, Reddit is going to be a mirror image of that future Stallone travels to in Demolition Man.

I don't care if Pao is destroying reddit. It's a toxic place. Burn it to the ground, scatter the ashes to the four winds.

I don't believe in unrestricted free speech when it comes to websites. There's limits on what you can post in this forum, and that's a good thing.

Redditors will find another website that caters to their needs. If voat can't do it, there'll be something else. That's how the market works.

That, we can agree on.

Well, that's if you trust the authority to define what's acceptable speech.

If I can't attack someone I think is doing the wrong thing, for example, I'm not going to want to be here.

Here's an idea: No to Voat, yes to therapy! These people are in desperate need of it, what with the red pills and the fappenings and the glavin.

I have never had less idea about what was happening after reading a forum thread in my life. The only things I'm familiar with are Jesse Jackson and Neopets.

Wait, I think Reddit was the thing I had to use to get friend codes for Pokemon Y. Can I get Jesse Jackson's friend code now?

Searching "they didn't armor their feet, asshole" in Google with quotes led me to Justified, season 4 episode 12, at least halfway through the episode, maybe closer to under 3/4ths of it.

I have no idea.

Absentia, this is why I linked websites that explained it better than I ever can. I didn't want to quote the whole content, so I just linked them.
