TL;DR: See title.

WARNING: Some offensive words are used below.

Many people in this sub are quick to share their less than compassionate attitude towards those less alpha than them.

This makes me very sad, because it feels like, out of fear, discomfort, ignorance, many of you have reduced, in your mind, a whole bunch of human beings to sub-human. You don't want to rep them, you don't want to post in their threads, you don't care how they live or die.

Stop kidding yourselves, these people are no worse or better than you or me, and you could easily end up in their place.

They live one day to the next just trying to survive, living through literal torture.

Rep deprivation, lack of adequate thread ratings, lack of respect...

These are the same conditions, when thrust upon someone at a place like Gitmo, probably incite angry disapproval in you, don't they?

Have you ever been not able to get repped, weeks, months, years, decades at a time?

Have you ever tried to put your reps back together when all your ****ing account has been stolen and you don't have any mod friends or misc family?

And y'all are cheering for more stringent policies from the mods, about banning reds, which often make lulzy threads? A thread from a red is no different than a fuking thread from a high rep poster, which y'all seem to respect. Well, guess what, I used to be red too, I don't have a building to my name, and I'm just trying to get from thread A to thread B, carefully, considerately, not bothering anyone, wearing a fuking face covering. Just minding my own fuking business, going through the few threads I have. I have a fuking back injury, 200 pound escort, and you want me to carry this forum on my back? Shame on you!

I was going to write a long-ass essay here, there's a lot more which can be said, but it's been said by many others, just go do some searches.

Here is the gist of it:

The word "red" should now be on the same list as "Karen", "n!gger", "retard", "kike", "*******", "dyke". It should be banned, but use it at your peril.

Try something else, for example:

forum dweller

miscer

posting on the street

poster

human

rep-handicapped

unrepped, the official term in the platinum misc

destitute

unestablished

forsaken

or come up with your own kind, compassionate, maybe humorous term

Anti-red posts and comments should officially become bannable offense in this sub.
