I'm so done with Reddit blaming PewDiePie for the NZ shooting and calling him alt-right and a Nazi.

People on Reddit have lost their minds in the last few days.
They've been spreading lies and propaganda everywhere and shaming everyone who disagrees with them.
To them context and intent don't matter and logic even less so.

There have been even more threads in r/rant, r/changemyview, r/outoftheloop and random comments in different subs with upvotes in the hundreds sometimes even thousands.

Yuck. That's why I left Reddit, in addition to the bans & downvotes. Too much of a hivemind there - if you disagreed with a 'popular' sentiment, you were instantly downvoted into oblivion.

This is why if/when saidit gets big, the hivemind won't be able to censor anyone, because we have no downvote. It will only be able to promote things. So it'll be a friendly hivemind that will support a wide variety of interests, rather than a punishing hivemind that has an ever-narrowing ideology. That's the plan anyway.

I couldn't expect anything worse from Reddit but guess i'm proven wrong again. I don't get how you can blame a person for something he didn't have control of neither knowledge that something like this will happen to begin with. Horrible site...

It is like this on Facebook too. I feel so bad for Pewds, but I know his community has been supporting him.

it does seem unfair cuz he never said anything anti muslim or pro nazi but that shooter happened to mention him.

I suspect whoever is pushing the censorship is also astroturfing reddit.

Undoubtedly. Reddit has a clear liberal bias, mods/admins don't even try to hide it anymore.

I mean, I guess I feel bad that the poor chap's been dragged into this, but that outrage will run out of steam in about a week, and probably become good publicity as well. After all, he's been handling the coverage quite well.
Eventually, everyone who's spouted those opinions will have to take a good, long look at themselves and realize what absolute morons they are. And I'll enjoy bringing it up to them again and again, in every conversation.
In the meantime, I am having a good laugh at their expense.
