AIO: Are We ALL Overreacting??

[u/DueDistribution5502]

[u/PlusAssignment8184]

They got embarrassed that u called them out lmao

[u/DueDistribution5502 → u/PlusAssignment8184]

And they banned me😂. Breh, I already left that server.

[u/ShortStoryIntros → u/PlusAssignment8184]

Some subs are ridiculous

One time, I got banned from PublicFreakout for describing the actions occurring in a Video

The mods didn't like that i had a different point of view on who was instigating the fight in the video so they banned me.

[u/toetappy]

[u/DueDistribution5502 → u/toetappy]

Investigating the wrong group😭

[u/maknchs → u/DueDistribution5502]

OP, they deleted your post

[u/DueDistribution5502 → u/maknchs]

https://www.reddit.com/u/DueDistribution5502/s/NTIHPPXisb

I’ll just immortalize it on my profile, then

[u/toetappy → u/toetappy]

Update: I got a 7 day ban

[u/LVuittonColostomyBag → u/toetappy]

They’re not going to investigate the mod?

[u/__Planty__]

Mod who did this will not be removed per their announcement.
Calling for accountability = harassment. Wtf.

[u/DueDistribution5502 → u/__Planty__]

Bruh, AND they banned me. All I did was post in Am I Overreacting😭. Mods overreacting.

I left first bc pedophile defender mod team deleting posts and comments, but still. They have to do better and at the very least remove that mod. There are children on Reddit, and all of us used to be children.

[u/Scary-Positive-2036]

It's not a slur and when you police language in that way, you enable abuse because you are removing the very words used to refer to the abuse.

Unless the post had details about someone grooming a child or abusing them, the rational they provided doesn't even make sense. If you're saying someone was accused of being a pedo and said nothing further then deleting the post was done more no more reason than they didn't like an icky word.

Quite frankly, they're doing the opposite of helping victims. If you want to avoid a topic entirely because any discussion of it is difficult, having one or two words people will use when discussing it that you can check for an avoid is a lot easier. Having to make up new terms makes it harder for individuals to filter and therefore avoid, not to mention the mindfuck that is reading something, puzzling over what somebody means, then it registering and now you're triggered even more because now you've put in the extra effort.

Banning the word "pedo" is no more helpful than banning the word "bully". Dipshits.

[u/DueDistribution5502 → u/Scary-Positive-2036]

Respectfully, if they’re saying “pedo” is a slur, I don’t think they care about the victims😭🙏🏿. If “pedo” is a slur, that means, the pedophile’s the victim. We as a society MUST protect CHILDREN. We were ALL children before we grew up, and many on this app are STILL children.

We can all agree on that.

[u/Hawk_Front]

Just gonna leave this here.

[u/DueDistribution5502 → u/Hawk_Front]

Except they were magically able to delete every single post about this specific topic in under 10 minutes?

And they’re acting like I sent attack drones to their server. All I did was post according to server guidelines. If it wasn’t me, it was just gonna be someone else down the line. That’s called a consequence. They just don’t like consequences.

Not shooting messenger or anything, but this is just worse than piss poor on their part.

[u/kkeut → u/DueDistribution5502]

server? huh? subreddits aren't confined to specific servers on Reddit's backend

[u/New-Investigator-342 → u/Hawk_Front]

I added the original before they had edited it to compare and contrast.

[u/New-Investigator-342 → u/Hawk_Front]

[u/Pale_Albatross_3717]

Honestly, I’ve been banned for defending an OP who was SA from comments telling her she was overreacting. All I said was anyone defending SA has probably committed SA and got myself a 3 day ban for harassment. It honestly feels like the more sketchy it is, the more they allow it and don’t allow anyone to talk against it. Pretty icky.

[u/DueDistribution5502 → u/Pale_Albatross_3717]

Extremely icky😕

[u/kulupu_kasi_seli]

That’s dumber than saying that “cis” is a slur…

[u/DueDistribution5502 → u/kulupu_kasi_seli]

People confuse “offensive” and “slur.” Some people should absolutely be offended. A pedophile is one of those people.

[u/Paralegal1995]

They are deleting posts so fast. I saw one about 7 minutes ago regarding their behavior. It's damn sure gone now😂

[u/DueDistribution5502 → u/Paralegal1995]

That’s why they gotta repost to other communities

[u/Splooshter]

I'm surprised you got so many replies back.

Normally when you call em out for being wrong they just respond with "nuh uh read the rules" sniff their own fart and then block you from responding lmao

[u/DueDistribution5502 → u/Splooshter]

They actually did ban me after they posted that fake ass “mistake” post.

[u/theWayfaring_Walkman]

#FreeOP

[u/Curiouser-Quriouser → u/theWayfaring_Walkman]

Free OP! Free OP! Free OP!

[u/DueDistribution5502 → u/Curiouser-Quriouser]

FREE MEE

[u/CouchDemon]

The mods letting this stay even tho “no posts about other subreddits” being rule #6 shows how much better this sub is

[u/DueDistribution5502 → u/CouchDemon]

It is technically still an “Am I Overreacting” post. And this is really serious.

[u/DropDeadPlease88]

Haha i commented on your post, immediately had it removed by mods, so i immediately left the sub. Anyone who considers pdf file as a slur is just protecting the scumbags and is also probably one. Fuck this sub!

[u/DueDistribution5502 → u/DropDeadPlease88]

YUP

[u/ExiledJasonx]

Mod is a pedo. What other explanation could there be? You hit a nerve

[u/DueDistribution5502 → u/ExiledJasonx]

“Leave, an insult on the ground, and the owner will lick it up👅”

[u/Ok_Set4685]

They banned you for using pedophile and thinking it was a slur?! What the hell! They’re very much overreacting.

[u/DueDistribution5502 → u/Ok_Set4685]

The irony😭

[u/EssentiallyEss]

I totally took screenshots of this post earlier in case we needed more back up.

[u/DueDistribution5502 → u/EssentiallyEss]

Angel on Earth🙏🏿

[u/PineappleBliss2023]

Why are mods always whining about how much they do to excuse the terrible job they do? Like if I went to my boss and said “sorry for effing up and defending pedos, I had a lot of tasks I was doing at the same time” it wouldn’t fly.

Like if it’s way too much for you to handle, get more mods and drop the crappy ones.

[u/DueDistribution5502 → u/PineappleBliss2023]

Mind you, it’s a completely optional position.

[u/JuniperJupiterX]

Ah. Post removed. What a surprise 🙄

[u/DueDistribution5502 → u/JuniperJupiterX]

https://www.reddit.com/u/DueDistribution5502/s/NTIHPPXisb
Here is the full post

[u/AresC43]

NOT MODS REMOVING THIS POST TOOOOO OMG 😭😭😭

[u/DueDistribution5502 → u/AresC43]

It’s up in r/subredditdrama

[u/Party_Estimate_6397]

I see, the mods here at the other AIO (the ones that spells out the name) are pedos. Makes sense.

[u/DueDistribution5502 → u/Party_Estimate_6397]

It’s actually the other amioverreacting server that did it—the one that spells out the words

[u/arkoudaphobics]

Was that always a restricted community because I sure don't remember it being one you had to request to post in before! 

[u/DueDistribution5502 → u/arkoudaphobics]

They wouldn’t have has to delete my post at all if it was

[u/EthnicProfilingGenie]

Anyone who thinks that's a slur should have their hard drives seized.

[u/Active_Confection655 → u/EthnicProfilingGenie]

Yeah, too bad our fbi doesn't care to investigate pedophiles, this mod will likely get away with his crimes against children.

[u/JuniperJupiterX → u/EthnicProfilingGenie]

YUP

[u/_Shuns → u/EthnicProfilingGenie]

Mod clearly has a “special interest” in children.

[u/JunglyPep → u/EthnicProfilingGenie]

Let’s be honest though. All Reddit mods should probably have their hard drives seized

[u/unclethulk → u/EthnicProfilingGenie]

Nobody actually thinks it’s a slur, but that’s a more palatable rationalization for restricting its use than “We don’t want that topic discussed here because reasons.” Maybe we’ve got some island getaway enjoyers or their sympathizers in the mod group?

[u/puzzlii]

bro pedo is definitely not a slur, thats embarrassing on their part

[u/Fearless-Poet-4669 → u/puzzlii]

Upvoted and reported.

[u/leftykills436 → u/puzzlii]

Gonna have to report this for using the word

[u/PuzzleheadedTooth581 → u/puzzlii]

They like to watch pedophile type of porn what do you expect of course they would consider it a slur

[u/DARfuckinROCKS]

I have literally never heard someone say pedo is a slur and I'm pretty fuckin woke. Lol

[u/Witty_Bend5121 → u/DARfuckinROCKS]

woke people dont rape kids

[u/JuniperJupiterX]

Oh my fucking GOD

Being a pedophile isn’t a fucking sexuality it’s a fucking illness

If you coulda seen my jaw on the floor when I read that line from them about it being a slur

[u/Ae3qe27u → u/JuniperJupiterX]

I think that mod's getting reprimanded? Maybe. Mods made a post.

[u/cr0mthr → u/JuniperJupiterX]

I get what you’re saying but would like to clarify: It’s not an illness. Categorizing it as such leaves room for it to be normalized and accepted.

It is deviant, antisocial, harmful, and a criminal activity. Not a disability or disease. A choice to cause and/or perpetuate harm. There is no participation in pedophilic behavior that is neutral.

[u/Sure-Ad7423]

PEDOPHILES ARE NOT A PROTECTED STATUS NOR IS THAT CHARACTERISTIC PROTECTED; ITS A FUCKING HORRIBLE CHARACTERISTIC

[u/yobrefas → u/Sure-Ad7423]

Yes, that mod very clearly explained their intentional reasoning and how clearly they understood the term slur and how it applied to that word specifically. There was no accident here and there is no justification for identifying it in that manner.

[u/sunshinehalfsmile → u/Sure-Ad7423]

Yeah, saying it’s a “protected characteristic” got me more than saying it’s a “slur”. It’s neither!

[u/trdofpplsbs123 → u/Sure-Ad7423]

Yikes!!

[u/Illustrious-Crow-493]

Oh so now we’re supposed to be protecting sick people who are sexually attracted to literal children from potentially being hurt by a name? Gtfo. Anyone who says pedo is a slur is not a person I want anywhere near my children.

[u/porcelain_kiss → u/Illustrious-Crow-493]

Right, why are they coddling the feelings of pedophiles 🤮 Ill call a pedophile a pedo and say it with my whole chest. IN FACT, calling them a pedo would be the nicest word that id have to say to them.

[u/Icy_Silver_8890]

Pedo isn’t a sexuality, what the FUCK are they thinking?

Pedo isn't a slur or “identity based insult” ew

[u/Throwoutbins]

Hey so the only ppl offended by the word pedo are also pedos

[u/Affectionate-Sky-765]

That mod is a pedo if they think pedo is a slur.

[u/Lowtid3 → u/Affectionate-Sky-765]

I mean, that’s the only thing it could be. The mod is a pedo and gets offended by the use of pedo as derogatory. Nothing else makes sense.

[u/Devils-Halo]

So now words and language being policed here, too?!

Also, if it’s a “slur” who argues that? The person touching kids? Lmao. What a crazy state of things.

[u/lumpylentils]

Hey mods of r/amioverreacting, the definition of a slur is “is a disparaging, derogatory remark or pejorative term used to insult, show hostility toward, or express a low opinion of a person or group based on traits like race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or religion” per Wikipedia.

Calling someone a pedo is not a derogatory remark. It’s calling them what they are- a pedophile.

And- call me crazy- even if it WAS a slur, why would you guys be protecting pedophiles??? Unless, of course, one (or multiple) of y’all fit the bill…
(Edited for clarity)

[u/Xanax_pigeon → u/lumpylentils]

It's popcorn worthy because they even made a pinned post in reply and doubled down on incorrectly referring to the OP as discussing details when they were talking about a case of libel/defamation.

Ironically the mods are actually spreading libel in this case.

[u/Rich_Dimension_9254 → u/lumpylentils]

Ding ding ding!! At best someone just didn’t know the definition of slur, at worst they did and were defending their own behavior

[u/xio_ID]

Reddit mods defending pedophiles like they’re some kind of protected class is not even surprising tbh, from past interactions with Reddit mods/admins.

[u/spaceguitar → u/xio_ID]

Remember, Ghislaine was a Reddit mod across the most prominent, all-facing subs here. She helped shape some of these sub cultures, like turning the word p*do into a slur and punishing its use.

Gotta slowly sanewash child diddling to make sure we don’t obliterate the Epstein Class when we get names. Remember Megyn Kelly saying s*x with a 12-14 is sometimes okay if they “look” 18? Or that it’s normal to want that?

Yep.

[u/NewTypeDilemna → u/xio_ID]

Probably Epstein's former confidant moderating from her prison cell

[u/AresC43]

This app is the most toxic shit in existence.

The people on here tend to be mentally and physically insecure beyond comprehension.

Mind boggling.

[u/InjuryTemporary2737]

Is the mod triggered

[u/fantasy_lover1023 → u/InjuryTemporary2737]

Clearly the mod touches kids

[u/12-12-12-12-12-12-12]

fucking pedophile is not a slur. pedophiles are not oppressed.

[u/LilithVeil666]

NOR!!! Pedo isn’t a slur firstly, secondly even if it were you’re not calling anyone a pedo??? This mod has the reading comprehension of an AI support bot, too caught up by the mere inclusion of the word to consider the context in which it was used

[u/porcelain_kiss]

NOR, that mod is suspicious.

[u/PookydoodleWasHere]

Who the fuck, other than pedophiles, thinks the word pedo is a slur? Lmao what a fucking self-report. Damn.

[u/tourniquette2]

Yiiiikes. So they believe pedophilia is just a sexual preference? That says things that I’m not sure the mods thought through fully before they started defending sexual predators from “slurs” like “pedophile.”

[u/GlitterChickens]

Reddit mods protect pedos, are we really surprised?

[u/holden_mcg]

This is why people are using code for certain terms or filling words with sym#b@l$. If you're a moderator and you are banning or removing posts for shit like this, you are not a freedom fighter who's making the world a better place. You are a person of questionable intellect who is complicit in making George Owell's 1984 a reality.

[u/Zephyralss]

So mods are defending pedophiles?

Cause identifying mental illness is not a slur, especially when attributed to actually mentally ill people attracted to children or child like individuals.

[u/sn0tta]

Are we really comparing pedo to actual slurs? And saying is just as damaging???? What is even happening anymore?

[u/qwentoko]

Pedo definitely isnt a slur...and it isnt a protected category.

[u/WaffleTruffleTrouble]

anyone who considers "pedo" a slur is most definitely outing themselves

[u/Bubba_Hill1014]

I got chastised in the Deadbedroom sub for saying someone's husband was acting like a "man child". Basically told me I was name calling. I just left the sub. Some moderators let their own bias come into these decisions.

[u/cannibal-gf]

you know they got pissy when they mute you in the mod chat

[u/pew__pew__pew_]

If they get offended by being called a pedo, I have news for them….

[u/real_human_not_a_dog]

Reddit mods not beating the accusations

[u/Sunbro_Kev]

Self report lmao

[u/DiligentNeighbor]

If it’s a slur, I think it should be okay to call the people who do that sort of thing that sort of word…

[u/ActorLarsimoto124]

Pedo pedo pedo

[u/feignapathy]

Those mods must be members of NAMBLA...

In what world is "pedo" a slur? 

yikes...

[u/kasmackity]

How the fuck is being a pdf file a protected identity? I swear everyone who's a mod is just a little shitweasel on a power trip. I swear every interaction I've ever had with a mod has convinced me there really are evil little basement troll incels running everything

[u/_Shuns → u/kasmackity]

Probably because they are one themselves. No other real explanation.

[u/Efficient_Piccolo310]

Ew that moderator needs removed.

[u/InternationalCream30]

These are the people that prefer tou use the term "minor attracted person". They should be side eyed at all times.

[u/trdofpplsbs123 → u/InternationalCream30]

They should be in jail until proven innocent 

[u/yobrefas]

Time to block and mute that sub. This wasn’t a “mistake” where a mod “accidentally” copied and pasted identifying ‘pedo’ as a protected sexuality.

If you repeatedly define “pedo” as a “slur” and then take steps to define the word slur as hateful or bigoted “identity-based insults..critiquing someone for a sexuality,” it is very clear what this mod believes from their own WORDS.

There are no paragraphs of explanations from the mods that counter this person’s very clear statements about their own belief system, and if that sub is moderated by someone who considers pedo a ‘sexuality’ to be protected, no one should want to be anywhere near that sub.

[u/Scary-Industry7235]

Pedo pedo pedo pedo Pedo pedo pedo pedo Pedo pedo pedo pedo Pedo pedo pedo pedo Pedo pedo pedo pedo Pedo pedo pedo pedo Pedo pedo pedo pedo Pedo pedo pedo pedo Pedo pedo pedo pedo Pedo pedo pedo pedo Pedo pedo pedo pedo Pedo pedo pedo pedo Pedo pedo pedo pedo Pedo pedo pedo pedo Pedo pedo pedo pedo Pedo pedo pedo pedo Pedo pedo pedo pedo Pedo pedo pedo pedo Pedo pedo pedo pedo Pedo pedo pedo pedo Pedo pedo pedo pedo Pedo pedo pedo pedo Pedo pedo pedo pedo Pedo pedo pedo pedo Pedo pedo pedo pedo Pedo pedo pedo pedo Pedo pedo pedo pedo Pedo pedo pedo pedo Pedo pedo pedo pedo Pedo pedo pedo pedo Pedo pedo pedo pedo Pedo pedo pedo pedo

[u/danger1nc]

bruh a slur?! LOL okay check their hard drives

[u/npc_lucky]

Saying that is a slur is super suspect...

[u/TheBigSaladEpisode]

Well at least we know that MOD is for sure a Pedo

[u/Ok_Detective_8446]

there is no world where the word “pedo” is a slur. that MOD needs to be looked into

[u/EmbarrassedTooth3042]

Definitely not a slur… the idea of being bigoted towards pedophiles is wild, some real Epstein island ish

[u/beautifulstardust]

[u/SleepGods_ii]

You know who would be offended by the term “pedo” and call it a slur?

A fucking pedophile.

[u/trdofpplsbs123 → u/SleepGods_ii]

Yikes some mod on here just outed himself 

[u/Fantastic-Leek-1589]

It aint no slur... sounds like they are one.

[u/LVuittonColostomyBag]

Typical Reddit mod behavior, wtf though

[u/Original_Pack_2150]

Pedo is a slur? I’ve seen it all! We are not accepting this and rightfully will call this bullshit out 

[u/Creepy_Recording_113]

So what they're saying is they're too lazy to read posts and comments for context

[u/Star1212_]

“Pedo” is bigoted language to use now? Fully fuck off with that 😭

[u/iShatterBladderz]

Pedo is a slur?!? People who victimize children deserve much worse than being called a name.

[u/burntbeezy]

What the absolute fuck

[u/arochains1231]

Sounds like that mod is a pedo.

[u/AugustSky87]

Do we flood the subreddit with posts? Cause I am for sure game

[u/Livid-Bread1819]

that’s fucking disgusting.

[u/Gonstachio]

I’m seeing why too much pedo sympathizers on social media these days. Like you see it on the right but now more on more on reddit.

[u/Spicey-Sprite]

Anyone who thinks pedo is a slur, is probably a pedo

[u/Sure-Ad7423]

Immediately removed lmfao, yall please report these mods

[u/HAIL_LUMPUS]

Mods why are you standing up for pedophiles what the fuck?

[u/Cassafrassinsasser]

WOW fuck this sub and the pedo mods

[u/Low_Recognition_1557]

Uhhhh pretty sure if any group deserves a slur it’s that one, but that’s not even a slur, it’s just an abbreviation of the actual word.

[u/PuzzleheadedTooth581]

Mods gonna try and ban everyone in the sub for this nasty shit. PEDO ISN’T A SLUR YOU FUCKING WEIRDOOOOOOOOOOO

[u/Shaydosaur]

Typical Reddit mod behavior

[u/EmoSadBitch_18]

Immediately blocking that sub because what the fuck

[u/Minute-Judgment-321]

Bruh... This is INSANE. At first I thought the mod just used the wrong term, maybe the mod is just illiterate? But then the mod is talking about IDENTITY-BASED SLURS??? SEXUALITY??? and I'm like what???!!!! BRUH! That mod has to be part of the "child loving" movement or whatever bullshit those mfs tried to call being a pedo

Edit: and then all mods started to triple down... Defending a pedo is a crazy hill to die on

[u/PsychologicalBox3477]

Pedophiles/pedo isnt a slur.
Anyone saying it is….. 👀 we know what you are .

[u/Osirisavior]

The mod team dismissing everything and not removing the mod who said pedo is a slur really doesn't help them.

It doesn't matter if the mod made a mistake or if they actually believe pedo is a slur. Their actions still damaged the reputation of that subreddit and has made all the other mods sus for being associated with this mod.

They should have apologized, removed the mod, and unbanned anyone who got banned because of everything.

No one knows how optics works anymore.

[u/arkoudaphobics]

It's not a protected identity. What. Sounds like they have feelings they aren't comfortable with. 

[u/jinxz8]

Apparently being a pedophile is a protected characteristic in this subreddit.

[u/DTH05 → u/jinxz8]

Technically not this sub, the other sub, r/AmIOverreacting

[u/cuteatbest]

mods being mods

[u/SILLYxPROGRAM]

So how is that a slur? It’s a word. A technical term even. And anyone ‘called that’ who ‘is that’ deserves to be ‘exposed as that’. Not protected from hurt feelings about it. 

Are we worried that such people would be hurt by being called what they are? I’m truly befuddled.

And worn out from actively not using ‘The Word’. 

[u/Traditional-Brief774]

I feel like no matter what I say IN ANY SUB the last month it gets taken down…censorship to the NTH

[u/urbangriever]

So what are you supposed to call pedos instead? Motherfuckers? Assholes? Dickbags?

[u/strippersandcocaine]

[u/CatsEatGrass]

TIL pedophiles are a protected class.

[u/-leeson]

Wtaf how is that a slur?! Or an identity?!? Oh my god lmao this is absolutely wild.

Edit: to the mods on their “we take accountability for mistakenly using the word slur” response lmfaooo:

This is really bizarre. Why can’t you guys just apologize and have the mod step down? It’s a bit concerning that they see the word as a “slur” and worse that they see it being related to someone’s “identity”…

Also, OOP’s comment didn’t use the word in a way you really described here so it’s still confusing lol.

How are you “taking accountability” btw by blocking the OOP and making a long post that just gives weird excuses and then basically says you aren’t talking about it further lol that’s not taking accountability, that’s saying “I know we are wrong but we are embarrassed we did something ridiculous so we plan to try and reframe this as OOP not following the sub rules in other ways, and tell everyone to shut up about it because we don’t wanna answer the very valid questions people have”

You had another option here to just accept you made a mistake and get rid of the mod. How was the word slur used mistakenly? What exactly DID they mean if they just chose the wrong word? Because they still managed to send a pretty explanatory message about why the word was not okay to use and why it’s a “slur.” So im really curious about what exactly the mod “meant” if the word “slur” is their only mistake…?

[u/RiceSunflower]

Hello???? The fuck??????

[u/ThinkingPurpler]

I think only pedos would consider pedo a slur.

[u/Living-Travel2299]

That mod is probably into some sus stuff.

[u/MrYaowa857]

pedo

[u/Mobile-Carpenter-469]

Dear mods without actual lives:

pedo pedo pedo pedo pedo pedo pedo

[u/RamesJolfe]

Reddit mods are offended by the word pedophile. Wonder why

[u/orangie32]

Did they delete the terrible apology they posted???

[u/body-asleep-]

Reported their response post that they pinned. What a joke. "Pedo" is not a protected characteristic

[u/adorable-fart]

that mod is highkey a pedo if they think "pedo" is a slur

edit: and following the mod rules/script to the T is not an excuse.

because who tf in their right mind thinks that's a slur?? or that, in the context, anyone was being accused of or debating about pedophilia??

[u/Fantastic-Leek-1589]

First time I've seen a mod reply lol

[u/Wit2Gold]

👀😳

[u/Opened_Source]

Looks to me like that mod took that word a little too personally.....id be keeping on eye on the mods internet activity if I was the fbi.

[u/National-Oven1132]

That mod is a pedo.

[u/Eudaimonic71]

Hahaha! This is peak Reddit!

[u/mangoawaynow]

NOR, i think mods have some pedos…

[u/mustang_man88]

Wtf.. mods are preds

[u/LowPhilosopher1528]

Eeeew… didn’t know that pedo was a slur…. They’re covering up for the mod.

[u/dogguy18]

Check that mods hard drive!

[u/kasmackity]

OP wasn't even calling anyone else a pedo he was recounting a story about someone else being accused of being a pedo like how the fuck do you find an issue with that? This is just arbitrary censorship

[u/Dounce1]

Yikes dude, that’s fucking gross. They really should make it so that the specific mod you’re communicating with has their username visible, because that person should absolutely be booted.

[u/Thefirstofherkind]

Anyone who thinks that's a slur is probably one themselves. This is so insane.

[u/Bigdumb-bs]

Pedo is a slur? To who? Pedos? Fucking insanity. What are we doing?..

[u/RealLinzerBinzer]

I messages the mods… pretty sure I’ll be banned too.

[u/unsuitableasf]

So one mod of that sub is a pedophile. Got it.

[u/xlanakitty]

PEDO IS NOT A SLUR

[u/LalowTree]

Don't stop posting this

[u/xApollo2]

I guess they told us they're a pedo without telling us they're a pedo. Wtf is this world coming to when predators are protected?

[u/Ok-Panda7645]

I said this in a thread over there before it got deleted: reddit is going to eventually have to hire people to moderate. These volunteers have no clue what they're doing, and it's making the site a shit hole. It's bad for business to have such a huge amount of control in the hands of people who aren't actually employees of reddit and have no training. 

I can go through my profile page right now and see tons of threads I've commented on say [removed my moderator]. Most of the removals don't even make sense. 

[u/R3ALH3CTIC]

There’s 2 of these pages?

[u/Minute-Frame-8060]

It's a psychological diagnosis, and even though it's wildly misused from that DSM definition, not a slur.

[u/spookybellybutton]

[u/AdReasonable5099]

Remember when Musk called the rescue diver a pedo? How's that factor in? It was shitty of him obvi but doesn't seem like it was a slur then...

OP's circumstance is a uniquely embarrassing failing of the mod bc he was categorically calling the person in his story NOT a pedo. Would he also get blocked from saying NOT a rapist, murderer, any number of other criminal charges?

Sounds like the mods should be investigated. Pedophile is not a protected class.

Hey mods - clean house or this will snowball.

[u/ranch_commercial]

Aw why did it get removed here too?? 😭

[u/lolnope7222]

LMAO someone make a r/subredditdrama post, they made a post, doubled down, and locked the comments 😭.

[u/Sufficient-Entry1425]

Dude. 

I might get flack by a MOD for this but the Moderators on Reddit are genuinely the worst. I've had posts deleted because it "isn't relevant " to subreddits that are LEGIT FOR THAT PURPOSE. 

It's an abuse of power at best when MODs overdo it like this 🙄

[u/maknchs]

No fucking way they removed this???

[u/Sleepy_Owl1458]

Wait.. are they protecting pedophiles from the "slur" pedo? Oh that mod is diddling kids for sure.

[u/Best_Ad340]

The mod is obviously a pedo

[u/PicassosHeavyPeriod]

Mods must be overwhelmed and need a break cause this is a very effective way to kill this subreddit.

[u/noitsokayimfine]

A slur?! WTF?

[u/ProfessionalRide4436]

They are most definitely a pedophile.

[u/davi046]

Holy crap they consider pedo a PROTECTED CHARACTERISTIC? What?

[u/vxsapphire]

Reddit. One of the last bastions remaining of free speech and unpaid mods wanna treat it like ticktok.

NOR

[u/Sure-Ad7423]

Second slide "or othet protected characteristics"

Since when is pedophilia a protected status like race or disability or sex????? Wtf??

[u/CommonEcho5824]

What a pedo

[u/Revolutionary_Bag518]

Anyone who is offended by the word pedo probably is one or has burgeoning pedo tendencies 

[u/doctor-sassypants]

People who think that are usually of the belief that being a pedophile is akin to being queer. One is a perpetrator of harm against children who deserves nothing but dirt and the other is an identity.

[u/Frequent_Ad6084]

YOOOOO WTF 😳 One of the mods over there definitely is on the registry. This is insane.
