View submission: What the complainers misunderstood about the importance of the "faces of atheism" trend

Personally, it annoyed me because:

• It was imagespam, variations on a theme of the sort that the rules request are kept to a single thread.
• Most of the upvotes were for either attractive people, or people in military uniform, the reddit secret recipe. Nothing on the front page was particularly inspiring.
• The whole thing stank of grandstanding. You're an atheist. Ok? Me too. So's that guy over there, probably. You're not Rosa Parks. I'm getting pretty tired of hearing how difficult things are for atheists in America, to the point of unsubscribing. I don't doubt that it is, bu I didn't subscribe to give moral support. Maybe there should be an /r/ for that.
• Text on an image is the worst crap on reddit.

If you disagree, fair enough. My only reaction was to downvote the worst ones and attempt to humourously participate.

I hear what you say and I approve, but not share, your objection. One comment though:

Text on an image is the worst crap on reddit.

Text in an image is also much harder to filter and it's a way of getting through basic censuring strategies.
