I’m so confused by how Reddit is being moderated now. I had someone follow me to various subreddits, responding to every comment I made with a particular anti trans slur, (the one that rhymes with “moon”, not sure if I’m allowed to say it here) and a demand that I join the “41 percent” (which basically means “kill yourself.”) I reported their account, just once, and it was the first time I’d ever reported anyone. A few hours later, I was permanently banned for “abusing the report button”. I tried making another account and was instantly banned. The accounts of other people in my household have also been permanently banned, which is the most confusing part of all of it.
The account that was harassing me is still up as far as I’m aware. So, apparently it’s fine to call people slurs and tell them to die, but they’re not allowed to complain about it.
So, I’m new to this place. I was told it was better.
Yeah it’s a slur from 4chan that combines transvestite and goon into troon.
I am ignorant of how strict the language filters are so I’ll let the gods decide my fate.
Thanks, hadn’t heard that one before. Good to know, (without context at least) I’d definitely wouldn’t have recognised it as a slur. Doesn’t help that ‘troon’ happens to be the Dutch word for ‘throne’. 😋
Thank you so much. The first part, yikes. But goon? These dudes aren’t even trying to be funny. I must be well and away from 4-chan entirely for me to have not seen that yet
troon just reminds me of those old troom troom videos
