Once upon a time, in the magical land of reddit, there existed two subreddits.
One was /r/mylittlesupportgroup, a subreddit that existed for the sole purpose to help anyone, brony or non-brony, in need of a place to vent their personal issues, be it emotional or physical.
The other was /r/bronyhate. A subreddit that was partly spawned from the expansive internet bullying shitfields of /r/cringe and /r/cringepics, who loved to circlejerk all day long over how much they hated anyone who enjoyed My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (we’re not even talking about “rabid bronies” or whatever here, the majority of their user base pretty much despised anyone who liked the show).
One day, several users (including at least one moderator) of /r/bronyhate thought that it would be “funny” or “entertaining” to go over to /r/mylittlesupportgroup and post comments encouraging a suicidal person on there to KILL THEMSELVES. The support group staff and several users quickly ran to the reddit admins, notifying them of what had happened, and almost immediately, those users were banned and /r/bronyhate was put into a state of probation.
The quick action was due to a moderator taking part in their raid, and the admins would not stand for a subreddit moderator condoning, much less participating in such an event. It’s also a rule (as stated in the above screenshot) that cross-subreddit raids with the intent to be malicious or vandalize on reddit are not allowed.
If /r/bronyhate did something like that ever again, the subreddit would be banned.
Today just so happens to be the day when /r/bronyhate did it again.
The lesson to be learned here is that if a website admin tell you to not do something, the last thing you should ever do is to do it. Apparently, /r/bronyhate couldn’t get that little fact through their skulls. It also goes to show that if you spend your free time bashing people who like a thing, you need to take a step back and reevaluate your life priorities.
Stories from bronies that were playing along before most were eventually banned said that a good chunk of that subscription count was nothing but alternate and sock poppet accounts.
So I’d pen the actual subscription count to somewhere around or below 1,500, but still, you’re right for the most part.
My god, I just read some of their threads… What is this ignorant and hateful witchcraft?
We just need a bigger nuke.
I’ll give them one thing, they’re persistent. Like cockroaches surviving a nuclear blast.
Taking pictures of girls in public without their consent and posting them online for others to see.
Don’t know why jailbait would be a problem but the hell is a creepshot?
>but when dealing with these kinds of haters, you never know.
Exactly my point. The second their teenaged user base goes around telling more depressed people to kill themselves, it’ll get the hammer.
Those morons don’t give a shit about what their mods say. They’re too edgy for rules!
It’s not about raids anymore, it’s about hating. There will be at least one, without raiding, that’ll come to that group to make laugh and “fuck shit up”.
Created by the founder of the original r/bronyhate himself (or herself, for all I know).
As for the new one getting banned, that’s tricky. They say ‘no raiding this time’, but when dealing with these kinds of haters, you never know.
Eh, one of reddit’s “flaws” in my eyes is that they lean too heavily on the free speech aspect.
This is the same site that had /r/creepshots and /r/jailbait for a while, before they wised up and laid down SOME standards, after all.
Most humans ARE ignorant, no doubt about it. I am still in shock that Reddit ALLOWS a hate group to exist.
It has the same old staff?
Chances are it’s gonna get banned the second they try anything again.
Don’t think, even for a minute, that it’s over. But the original subreddit being banned was a truly huge win.
I don’t know people are stupid! us the human race is stupid! we don’t think, blame our problems on other people, and treat one another like yesterdays shit in the toilet, face it were all comfused but there will never be an answer to the stupidy we have as humans.
so to answer your question I have no idea
(P.S don’t take this reply seriously I’m jokeing)
I’m sure some have already made their own little knockoff.
/r/bronyhate was just the biggest one.
Serious question, I don’t do reddit.
