MOD ANNOUNCEMENT May 1, 2024 update - Revamp

6 Upvotes

After a decade of moderator inactivity, we've decided to start May off by doing some spring cleaning here. What has changed:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • Broken user flairs have been completely removed and new ones have been put in place. This should fix the blank user flair issue. We may add more flairs soon.
  • Added 2 rules to remind users to follow Reddiquette (civility) and keep posts on topic, making it easier to report any violating content.
  • New subreddit banner. If you have any other banner artwork you'd like us to use, send it in the ModMail. This is just a temporary banner.
  • Colored post flairs.
  • New wiki page explaining the most common types of irony as well as helpful examples. (Link)
  • Going forward, we will make an effort in removing bot spam and other completely irrelevant posts. Make sure you report violating content so we can handle them faster.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • Feel free to use the ModMail to suggest any ideas. Thank you for all your support over the years. Have fun delving into the marvels of irony!

Got Banned for 'hatespeech' on /r/rnb for pointing out Japan's homogenous culture, only for their mod to respond how "Asians be killing us in the US"

10 Upvotes

For context, this was a post where I was recommending Japanese R&B to people who enjoyed the genre. (post) - Someone was asking if they hated us (as in African Americans) for me to give the response that the culture is standoffish (aka 'racist') towards anyone who's not even Japanese.

Mod takes that as "defending their racism" and "promoting cultural appropriation" as if black people OWN R&B. Then to top it off, he says
"Asians hate us and k*ll us in America" as if Japanese people represent all Asians...

TLDR: Made a COMMENT on a post about Japanese cultural isolation, mod totally misinterprets what I posted and banned me for racism, and muted me from contacting them, but made ignorant and racist comments while doing it, Basically implying that black people own RNB and can't be racist and are a victim of asian k*llings to which I've heard none of.

Context: I'm black myself and have been to Japan (and even met black japanese people) and the only 'racism' I've experienced is from being a foreigner, not black...

Edit: Archived the page cause they'll probably delete.

Edit Edit: Mod removed his own comment - right on scheudle! Archive still archiving above! 🤣

Edit: Edit: Edit: After removing his comment he comments as "rnb-ModTeam" saying Content should be respectful and/or tasteful, especially when they're about people's bodies, families, religion, culture, background, identity, etc. as if he didn't make a blatantly racist comment to Japanese people and asians in general. If you're Japanese, asian, black, or not racist, just steer clear of this crappy subreddit....Or post a buncha japanese rnb songs...
(P.S. Click the period for an alternative archive)

I mean I never said that but....Also, I didn't mean to offend your oh so intellectually sacred /r/rnb subreddit

The fact that Fox got the All Star game for the 250th is just another slap in the face of true Americans. Fuck Fox and the MLB.

The irony wasn't lost on me that down the street from the building in the background is Independence Hall, where this whole freedom thing started.
