Part 2 in my multipart series of :stormfront: melting down after being exposed to a conversation about race that doesn't begin and end with "I don't see race"

    Reddit had a popular sub with a really bad racial slur in the name until like 2017 or so.

      idk how :reddit-logo: found a way to be racist about "drinking more water", but they sure did

        We might be talking about a different sub, I'm talking about the one that used the c-word slur for black folks.

          of course there was more than one.

            Removedtown vs waterremoved. The latter eventually moved to hydrohomies and got pretty good by reddit standards

        Although it did create a nice "filter" where the successor sub excludes all of the people who decided to die on the "I want to keep the racist name" hill. similar thing happened to an anime memes sub when they banned a certain word and all the people who demanded to be able to use it went elsewhere.
