      Back in the early days of Russian invasion on Ukraine, where almost everyone on Reddit called to ban users and flag every post praising Russia (as well as ban r/Russia), Reddit execs essentially said they will not do it because of “free speech”

      So yeah, how the tables have fucking turned

    I’m just taking a wild guess here, but I’d imagine everyone would understand if you just said Mario…

    BTW, fuck Nintendo.

          “Player 2 has entered the game” has a more ominous tone now, for those that know

      I really like that Nintendo is kinda getting fucked over the over Luigi brand.

    They shouldn’t be banning anything. That’s called censorship.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
