r/UnpopularOpinion bans unpopular opinions that are TOO unpopular.

They have now set rules against anything too unpopular, i.e. Politics. It's shit like this that is getting really ridiculous. You can't even make a post about something if it's too unpopular. Basically they want the whole "I don't like dove because it doesn't clean my hair good" kind of opinions, not anything legit. If you post, Bernie is the best ever or Hillary is amazing, you're fine. You'll fall through the cracks. But anything that goes against leftist narrative? You're gone. I was permanently banned for voicing my opinion and I'm sure many others have too. Reddit is a fucking awful platform and it didn't use to be this way. I'm just waiting for r/TheDonald to be banned after it's censorship and quarantine lol. How the fuck do you even do that? It literally has NOTHING to do with anything against Reddit policy but they don't like anything they don't agree with so it HAS TO GO apparently. It's fucking horrible, I'm shocked that this sub is still here in all honesty.

Subreddits are starting to censor themselves because if they don’t they end up getting banned by the reddit admins. Pretty sad if you ask me.

What happens when they get rid of all the "unpopular opinions"?

>What happens when they get rid of all the "unpopular opinions"? Pages and pages of cat pictures.

I got banned for breaking a rule, when I asked what rule I was ignored My suspicion is there's new Reddit enforced mods since that was seen as a right wing sub

It's funny, try to post anything too controversial and won't be allowed to be posted because "reasons"

My unpopular opinion was that there really is, as science suggests, a genetic reason for the IQ gap between blacks and whites. Banned for hate speech.

HOLY FUCK DUDE MY POST GOT BANNED, I POSTED THE SAME THING Like there's a clear difference between the brains of whites and blacks and that's why they can't assimilate into western civilization properly and just create ghettos and crime

There's actually an old tweet from Reddit where they mention the black-white crime disparity specifically. The irony is that it was 12 years ago, and you'd get banned for saying it here today. Reddit really has gone down the toilet, if you want free speech you have to post on 4chan.

I made a new subreddit that's like r/unpopularopinion but uncensored, check it out if you like. I'm tired of reddits fucking bullshit "hate speech" censors r/Uncensored_Opinions

I beat you to it. It catalogs all the censored /r/UnpopularOpinion posts. /r/CensoredOpinions I'm doing it all manually so if I don't see one then it won't get posted.

Oh gee, racism gets your post removed.

I don't think a Donald Glover fan subreddit is in as much danger as you suggest.

I am a hardcore Trump supporter, but I don't want non-political subs to become full of political shit. Even if it's our shit.
