The post is not trying to explain what reddit is. The post title says “Reddit is now allowing advocacy of Child Marrige because they don’t want to be seen as islamophobes”.
This is a true statement, since admins not stepping in means they are allowing it. The image is good evidence of that.
What do you want? Total censorship of every unacceptable position held by an individual user? I say let the child marriage advocates identify themselves.
I wouldn’t even mind them not censoring it. I am a fan of 4chan for it being such an unrestrained place, even if I rarely visit it.
But one, reddit does heavily moderate it’s content. You can’t remove content you dislike and then claim not deleting something doesn’t mean you approve.
Second, this is not just letting a user post what he wants, this is letting a mod use the power you gave him to force this shit through and delete, ban, and/or censor opposing views.

They are already identified… Nobody cares… That’s the problem…
