I've been here almost a decade, and yeah, it seems very obvious to me that SRS exists only to bully and harass people who have opinions or use language deemed badthink by the gang that hangs around there.
The problem, as always, is that the rules are always applied first to those who exhibit badthink and that people who don a veneer of puritan correction are given free reign to be as offensive as they like.
Jerky opinions from racists suck, but it's a whole new level of Orwellian obnoxiousness to call out individuals in this way, harassing, humiliating, and smearing in order to police language & even thought. It's creepy and it definitely breaks the rules, but for whatever reason it is tolerated by Reddit.
Edit to add: If you pull that nonsense on Facebook, you get banned. Rules require names be blanked/blurred to prevent harassment, which seems pretty reasonable.
There's nothing here!
