Why? What was so bad about them?

i feel like we will have to ask this question more and more

You got me, friend. Also Happy Cake Day.

Happy mic day

Child rape jokes and people admitting to be pedophiles on the comments. Although from what I've heard the thing that got them banned was that someone crossposted the picture of a minor from another sub.

*Naked* minor from r/gonewild
26
Really? Thats fucking sad.
19
There was a post on r/outoftheloop about this. Basically, a minor posted a nude of themself on r/gonewild. The post was crossposted to r/FBIopenup which caused its ban. TLDR: Child porn was crossposted which led to the ban.
21
So... Why didn't gonewild get banned?
28
Probably because it's a much larger sub, meaning more ad revenue for reddit
22
Oh, right, the classic reddit "if ads are getting clicked, we'll ignore minors getting dicked!" method.

I believe they removed the post while fbiopenup kept it.

>Basically, a minor posted a nude of themself on r/gonewild. I’m not surprised... it’s literally a subreddit dedicated to anonymously posting nudes of yourself. Which is fucking deplorable imo (_I prolly sound like a prude but w/e_).
2
How “minor” are we talking about? Because in many parts of the US and the world, the age of consent is lower than 18
3
Young enough to warrant a ban
2
Yikes
3
The hearsay I've been seeing is that it was a 14 year old boy.
3
Holy shit
1
I should clarify that he posted his own nudes to gonewild from all accounts I've read on the matter.
1
If they are below 18 (even if consent is 16 like in the UK) It is classed as child porn.
1
Lol, that's not justification for a ban. Fuck this shithole.
12
Someone showed a comment attached to the ban (maybe mod/admin) stating there was content “promoting the sexualisation of minors” there. If that’s the case, fair enough hey.
10
My understanding is a 14 year old boy posted some degree of nudes to r/gonewild, someone say this post on r/gonewild and then crossposted it to r/FBIopenup, as if to say "FBI, Open Up!" essentially calling out what looked to be an underage person. Why the sub was banned for that doesn't quite make any sense, I assume the sub was probably being run by people reddit didn't like. The sub was banned for a single infraction of a single user while gonewild was not. reddit is fucking awful.

Turns out they got locked down to preserve evidence while the actual FBI opened them up to investigate some questionable "jokes". I hope those fucking pedos they found all hang. Edit: wow you guys really love pedos

Oh no, not jokes, anything but that sir.

jokes? they'll be none of that in is this forum!

Idk, I honestly don't care at all about child molestation "jokes". I could care less about censoring that.
46
Somebody censor this idiot

Ha

If you don't find it funny, don't read it. [Being offended is subjective](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceS_jkKjIgo), and that is exactly why silencing any speech is dangerous.

/u/BradGroux was on point with that link. I hope you watched it. I especially love how you put "jokes" in quotes to imply that any jokes that don't meet your arbitrary standards don't deserve the label. Good thing we all have you around to tell us what to find funny.
-1
Don't act like I'm the one telling you what to think, I merely laid out my opinion. You act like I'm oppressing you. Are you an sjw or something?
1
You know you're right, after re-reading your comment you were just expressing your opinion (except for that edit on your original comment). You came off as a bit judgmental, but nothing more. I just get pissy when anyone implies some comedy (or any instance of any other art form) is lesser or not comedy based on the subject matter alone. Edit: Note I am only talking about the ~~2~~ 3 comments in my chain, looking at the others you are still acting like there are some things you cannot joke about, which I wholeheartedly object to.

Pedophiles are fucking immature assholes

You might find it funny. I call it a crime. I wonder how funny you would find it if it happened to you. Maybe then, like me, you would see first hand how violent these scum can be. You would be singing a different tune.
3
I joke *because* I was heavily abused as a child and I think it’s a fair estimate that I’ve repressed more as well. Fuck off with your moral outrage, just because you can’t laugh doesn’t mean nobody should.
1
I advocate the death penalty as a response but if that's how you wanna deal with it then go ahead. But I find it suspicious that your the only survivor I've ever met who thinks the humor is fine. Makes me think your full of shit.
3
Makes me think you don’t realize that people have different coping mechanisms, mines humor
1
Oh I do, but out of the hundreds of other survivors I have met, you are literally the only one to use humor. Assuming your not full of shit of course.
2
I’m so sure you’ve met hundreds, you’re clearly the one full of shit defending his claim to moral superiority.
1
Its an opinion not a claim jackass. And yes hundreds. Turns out its a widespread problem. After I attempted suicide, I was introduced to a group of survivors to help learn to cope and stop repressing the pain so I could properly deal with the trauma. Fun fact, not a single one of them found edgelord jokes to be funny. Not a single fucking one.
1
Well I do, it helps me relieve some of the pressure of what happened and from whom it came by making some light of it, so just take it easy there champ.
1
Lol take it easy? What are you gonna do? Downvote me? I think that IF your not full of shit, then your dealing with it in an unhealthy way. You said it yourself, your repressing it. It's a sad excuse of a coping mechanism.
1
So? It’s my way and it works. And damn man seriously, you could stand to take it down a notch or ten. But w/e, your karma not mine. Note I haven’t downvoted any of your comments though. Have a good one
1
Take it down a notch? Lol what you wanna censor me? Lmao. No I'll notch it up to whatever level I want thanks. Note I have been downvoting you and I'm happy to do it and I'm not gonna lie about it in a lame attempt to look like the morally superior one. Reddit karma means about as much to me as the dirt on my boots. And I still think your a fake survivor. Have a good one.
1
Lol you’re off your rocker m8, my comments all sit at 1 so either you haven’t downvoted a thing either, or I’ve got a silent friend. Either way, yeah you brought way too much energy to this convo, so sure, have a good one faker.
1
You mean you have an alt. Lol typical fake move there bud.
1
You really are something dude, why would I put in all that work for like, what 3 karma? Get back on your meds. Still notice you haven’t been downvoted on any of these.
1
As if that's the issue at all lol. Whats really something is how you just can't let it go. Starting to think you might actually be a pedo the way you want to defend the 'humor' so badly
1
Wow lol you’re straight unhinged, have fun with your raving insanity
1
Thats the best you can come up with? I expected better.

Unlike the rest of you I actually survived an attempted rape when I was 12, so if you don't like my opinion on the subject, sincerely go fuck your self. I read the sub once, disapproved of the discussions taking place there and moved on. Yall acting like I'm the one who reported it. Seeing that it was basically a sub where people where getting a little carried away with the child rape language, it would be of no suprise to me at all to learn that there was more going on in that sub that we don't know about and never will, things potentially beginning with a legal matter, maybe it involves mods of the sub, idk... but neither do you.. So who know exactly why it got banned, I personally am not going to fucking cry about it one bit. As for you morally superior redditors, you really picked the wrong hill to die on. The way I see it, each downvote you gave me was a defence of pedophilia in the guise of the defense of free speech. Basically, fuck you too. Now go have fun.

Literally the point of the sub is making fun of those kinds of jokes. Now repeat after me: "Humor is subjective. Censorship is bad. Just because something bad happened to me, that doesn't mean I am the Supreme moral authority in the world."
1
And neither are you. Let them have their own opinion. This isn't the outside world. You don't get free speech here. And free speech is only free from the government - not public opinion. If public opinion doesn't like what you are saying, then tough shit.
2
Of course I'm not the moral authority. I'm literally saying that neither of us are the moral authority. Clearly you just have such a raging boner for attacking the very concept of free speech that you feel the need to drag it into every conversation, because I made no fucking mention of the topic whatsoever.
0
Nobody needs to be told they aren't the moral authority here, especially when they are giving an opinion based on horrible life circumstance. No, you took the moment to soapbox just to be a dick about it.
2
He's using his shitty life circumstance to make it sound like his opinions are more valid, and so he can just paint anyone who tries to disagree with him as a piece of shit without actually having to respond to their points. I find that highly objectionable.
0
They explained why thier opinion is different and matters to them. If you are going to take that personally like your opinion means less, then you need to hop back in the freezer you snowflake.
1
I'd ask you to read his responses to everyone who disagreed with him. Where said we were either pedophiles, or trying to protect pedophiles.
1
Dude, I've seen comments on that sub of people literally admitting they were pedophiles, it wasn't just about dark humour
0
Thank you. I thought it was pretty obvious too, and I only checked the sub out once. The amount of blind denfense of the sub without once considering the possibility that there are legalities at play on this one. Ban the sub so no one can go and alter evidence while the actual FBI open it up. But thats just a theory.
0
Humor is subjective = duh no shit sherlock. Censorship is bad = duh no shit sherlock. Now repeat after me: arresting pedos is good and preventing them from destroying evidence is also good.
3
What the actual fuck you delusional dipshit? When did I ever say anything related to any of that? It sounds like you just want to be an asshole and you realized that there's no actual argument that will put you in the right here. So now you're just putting words in people's mouths and accusing them of protecting pedophiles. Go fuck yourself.
2
>I actually survived And the world has been a shittier place since.
1
After something like that, the world is going to be as shitty or as great as you make it out to be. Yeah shit like this really pisses me off, but over all I haven't let it destroy my life. I pressed on, got help, got a great career and live an overall wonderful life now. I'm just alot more aware of the evil out there then I would of been otherwise. But for my success it's important to remember there are countless others who are not as fortunate as I. I think about such people quite often, always looking for some way to help even though I know they have to choose to help themselves first and foremost.
