Recently I was simultaneously banned from a huge pile of “communities” with a mod commentary “for upvoting homophobic materials”(or “transphonic”, I don’t remember exactly). This kind of bans is the very reason why I quit Reddit. Is it normal here, or is it just some feral mod from Reddit?

P.S. Before you sidestep/offtop/ad-hominem here: no, I have nothing against LGBT folk and absolutely not interested in the theme.

    See, you’re part of the problem, because you likely agree with banning/removing people even for slightly discordant opinions. And about the content removed for racist slur, I didn’t have an idea that “Japs” was such a thing (not everybody is from USA, nor a native english speker, you know…). If our cared to read the entire thread, it would have been clear to you.

    Congrats for having the time to virtually stalk me, btw.

      ”Japs”

      I speak two languages. I learned pejorative terms fairly early on in my language learning endeavor since i prefer not to offend people with a simple mistake. Maybe you should do the same for english since you seem to be mostly fluent.

        I speak 3 languages, for that matters, but let’s be real, one can’t be aware of each and every slightly offending term on each one of them. I can honestly say that I didn’t read about “japs” anywhere and that I just found it amusing when it came to my mind (the thread was about an amusing meme). Anyway, I’ll take care from now on.
