It's not so much the fact that casual racism(/sexism/homophobia/transphobia/endorsements of terrorism/etc) exists on reddit that bothers me. I mean, it does in a way, but I realize that it exists in the world and therefore it's going to exist on reddit as well; while I don't like it, it doesn't disturb me. It's that it gets so many upvotes! Being able to anonymously push posts up like that really brings out the asshole in people. Those comments wouldn't get near the amount of upvotes they do if which users upvoted it were publicly viewable.
Well, yeah when I say on this platform, I mean on the front page
It annoys me when somebody posts some random piece of nazi paraphernalia, and says something like my grandfather brought this back from the war etc. etc.
Like I dont care, I dont want to see a human lampshade either, there's more interesting content in the world than a nazi belt buckle or whatever
