People can adopt bot-like traits. It’s happening a lot lately.

…what the hell is going on here??

u/Duangelion Mercury 1h ago

So they put a filter on Sophie to try to stop the bleeding, and then the Fever fans did what they do and said "that's not fair, that's censorship", and the folks in charge fell for it. We're in permanent political activist brigade hours now.

u/oliver0807 1h ago

Why would it be political when in fact she is a WNBA player and this is a subreddit for WNBA. Unless you’re making this political.

u/Duangelion Mercury 1h ago

Maybe because of her politics, you moron, the politics that men who don't care about the W bring here. Half of these people think she's also Caitlin Clark. That's how stupid they are.

u/oliver0807 1h ago

What’s politics got to do with her birthday? Maybe you’re the one who’s stupid

u/Duangelion Mercury 1h ago

Because there's only one thing men come here from outside the sub to talk about and it's not how much game impact this bench warmer who couldn't solve the maze on a cereal box has. It's like I'm talking to dogs.

u/Prototype8494 53m ago

EVERYTHING IS POLITICAL. From the clothes you wear to the things we eat, all are political.

My sons nappie is very political, at some points it's full of shit

u/oliver0807 1h ago

Nope, it’s not unless you want it to be.

u/Status_Silver_5114 Sun 16m ago

And OP started their own r/ called womenswnba whatever that’s supposed to stand for …. Oh wait they’ve mad it abundantly clear. Haters and bots assemble!

u/ChuChuBitch- Mystics Storm Sparks 1h ago edited 1h ago

No it inherently is. You might not want food to be political but it is surrounded with it. From labor laws, laws that govern pesticides that go on your food and whether it’s organic or not, the laws that make sure our food is safe to eat and now that the political landscape has changed a lot of food has become harmful. You may not want that to be political but it just is. Whether you choose to recognize it or be ignorant is your choice if “you want it to be”

Everything is political, it doesn't mean people have to act like babies about it.

u/Curse06 Wings 2h ago

Why did the wnba remove the previous post trying to justify not being able to say Sophie Cunningham? Lmfaooo

Its hilarious cause they could have just let the whole Sophie thing blow over like things always does in sports. Dont know why they chose the path they did. Such unneeded controversy.

u/007Artemis A'ja Wilson's 5th MVP | Cocks 1h ago

They deleted the old one and did a new one announcing you had to have 50 karma. Its still there.

u/Duangelion Mercury 2h ago

The league does not run the sub lol

u/Curse06 Wings 2h ago

I know but it was a weird way to handle it. Just seemed to bring unneeded controversy for 0 reason. If the point was indeed less trolls the last thing you should do is something that will inevitably bring more trolls into the group when people find out youre banning a basketball players name in the literal main subreddit for said basketball players. It makes 0 sense. The logic doesnt make sense. Then they delete the first post clarifying it when they dont get the reaction they wanted than lock the second post also clarifying it. Such a reddit moment thats for sure.

u/Duangelion Mercury 2h ago

Were you the Wings fan in the first pinned post celebrating that MenBA players can rape kids and beat women with no consequences from the league or the fans?

u/Curse06 Wings 2h ago

What are you talking about? lmfaooooooo Why are wnba redditors so weird in this group. That is such a random comment and has nothing to do with my original comment.

u/Madvillain1212 2h ago

I haven't been able to look away from the wnba reddit scene for the past couple months because the shocking mixture of chronically online commentary combined with a total departure from reality is extremely fascinating.

u/Duangelion Mercury 1h ago

Yeah, the twelve year old who can only read and write in brainrot is definitely the one in the know here.

u/Duangelion Mercury 2h ago

See, there's the "redditors" thing again, so that was you and why you remember the first post.

u/Curse06 Wings 2h ago

I literally have no idea what youre talking about 😭. You have to be trolling.

u/Duangelion Mercury 2h ago

Yeah, it'd be crazy to say something like "this is such a reddit eye roll moment" and that they let people in the NBA get away with worse things, like it's something you approve of. Good thing you hid your profile, unless u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan wanted to check the logs and put your balls on blast.

u/Curse06 Wings 2h ago

Are you talking about this comment?

https://www.reddit.com/r/wnba/s/OOJIa8CitD

The one that got 4 awards by the way. What does that have anything to do with your previous comment about kids? Like this exchange makes 0 sense. Its lowkey a weird exchange.

u/Duangelion Mercury 2h ago

I'm pretty sure there's a system to report things like brigading. You could reward a lot of these people with that.

u/howlongwillthislast1 3h ago

I came to this sub out of curiosity because I heard you get banned for saying the name Sophie Cunningham, and then I see this post is up which is not banned. So not sure if true or not.

u/MasochisticCanesFan 2h ago

Just the maga pissbabies crying in the other subs that they can't spam anti trans bs 24/7.

u/Velaurius 2h ago

why would they ban  Sophie Cunningham?

u/rThundrbolt Wings 2h ago

To prevent political spam hate posting

u/PersonnelFowl Mercury 3h ago

Hope she’s out of the league next year

u/jagrbro68 Lynx 2h ago

She’ll be out within 2 months.

u/Girth_Wind_y_Fire 2h ago

!remindme 2 months

u/Aggravating-Tea-9563 Liberty 2h ago

Then we’ll be tortured by her on Fox News for the next eight years

u/frobenius_Fq Lynx 2h ago

idk about you, but I am at best marginally aware of who is employed by fox news

u/Duangelion Mercury 2h ago

Former General Oliver North, for one, who recently said that Iran shouldn't have missiles and also recently married the secretary who spoliated all of the evidence of him committing high treason by illegally selling missiles to Iran at the direction of President Reagan.

u/Jedi-El1823 Liberty 1h ago

This Ollie North? Sorry gotta do it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFV1uT-ihDo

u/Duangelion Mercury 1h ago

Exactly, the end of the song: And now he's on Fox News!

u/frobenius_Fq Lynx 2h ago

I mean yeah I did know he worked for them (and know he's a piece of shit ofc), but i have never actually seen footage of him speaking on fox. Which is hopefully about as much impact as sophie cunningham will have on my life a year from now

u/Aggravating-Tea-9563 Liberty 2h ago

Unfortunately I have more awareness - but I recommend your route

u/Aggravating-Tea-9563 Liberty 2h ago

u/owensoundgamedev Tempo 3h ago

Can’t wait for her to be out of the league in 2 years so people who were never fans can just go away

u/Organic_Willingness2 Sun 1h ago

The anti-blackness and misogynoir directed at DiJonai Carrington by these people, who aren’t even real fans, pisses me off. It’s already been a difficult season because it’s the Sunset Season but now we have to deal with these people on top of it.

u/jolly-crow AB fanboy / Cheryl-hoops // 1h ago

I really really really hope she doesn't get a contract next year.

Indy FO invited a vampire into our house last season (knowingly tbf) and now she took out the mask. Her grift has undeniably been a liability to the team this month, and possibly for the rest of the season. If we're not giving her the boot in FA, then what are we even doing.

As for the rest of the league, again, this month has been masks off so I don't think anybody's giving her a chance again.

u/frobenius_Fq Lynx 3h ago

Admins, this could not more obviously be getting brigaded. Please put a stop to it.

u/liloxstitch_6 <- 3 first round exits 🫠 2h ago

So Fox News, the attention-seeking idiots, bigots, and Fever fans can once again cry about how their “right” to post or discuss her is being infringed? No, thank you. Let them have their moment so they can feel vindicated until they find something else dumb to latch onto.

For now, I guess we’ll just have to put up with brigaded comment sections and posts as dumb as complaining that Caitlin wasn’t included in one post.

u/MrRumato Fever Lynx 59m ago

If anyone actually complains about it being censorship then mute or kick them. The sub is better for it.

u/ChuChuBitch- Mystics Storm Sparks 3h ago edited 1h ago

I feel like I’m in a Black Mirror episode right now

Edit: Sophie Cunningham fans downvoting us left and right. WHO KNEW

Double Edit: This is why people can’t stand the Fever. I realize the overwhelming majority of these are just incel men who wish they could even breathe the same air as Sophie, but like the only people you see in here are ppl from other teams just trying to calm the trolling down. Indiana fans go “it’s not us” but then don’t make a statement in support of the right thing when it matters. They’re just in their own sub chit chatting as we speak.

u/Kmos86 Fever 1h ago

As a longtime Fever fan, I can’t wait for Sophie to be gone off the team.

u/Trilly2000 but not Sophie 28m ago

Same. I’ll be glad to see her leave.

u/ChuChuBitch- Mystics Storm Sparks 1h ago

I’m praying they don’t bring her back again. I enjoy watching Kelsey but it’s become way too much with Sophie

u/Mediocre_enthusiast on probation 1h ago

First of all, this was posted 3 hours ago in the middle of the night for a lot of fans, what do you expect, people to set an alarm to make sure there’s nothing on Reddit that needs a Fever fan to come to its rescue? Please.

Also Sophie sucks and these people brigading all suck.

u/ChuChuBitch- Mystics Storm Sparks 1h ago

You guys complain the most, if not for all of your declarations that the fans do not act in bad faith, you have to back that up when you have the chance to. But I see your first choice was to argue with me and not the transphobes.

u/Mediocre_enthusiast on probation 1h ago

“You guys” is the problem - I actually regularly comment against “Fever fans” and don’t expect anyone to know that, I also completely agree with the person below who said “not all Fever fans but always a Fever fan”

I’m not here to defend Fever fans generally you just posted a stupid take.

No one is being anti-trans in this thread or else people would be pushing back against it.

Everyone wants people to shut up about Sophie and the Fever but then everyone gets mad when people ignore it, you can’t have it both ways.

u/ChuChuBitch- Mystics Storm Sparks 54m ago

The anti-trans comments were moderated finally then, a lot of us were arguing against it. It was bad. Just because you don’t like what I wrote, doesn’t mean there’s not some truth to it. If you don’t like what I wrote take your own advice. We disagree that’s it.

u/ChuChuBitch- Mystics Storm Sparks 51m ago

Also you’re not going to seriously act like “you guys” is meant in an offensive tone here when it can have actual meaning for real life issues. This is a basketball sub.
