Comment on: Banned from whitepeopletwitter for stating an assault rifle wasn’t used in a shooting
That exact topic is unfortunately full of misrepresentations on both sides. There have been some books that have found their way into school libraries that are questionable, but there have also been widespread banning of books the banners have not read, instead relying on the opinion of ultra-right-wing organizations as to what is bad.
Personally, I would not want the standard of what my kids can and can't read set by a group of far-right Christians full of self hatred.

Yeah, it's always dicey posting in very slanted subs. I comment in Canada_sub regularly, and that is a very right wing sub. I don't usually agree with them, but I don't attack, I just try to point out bad information. I'm actually impressed that they've never banned me.

Shrug. It was an over-reaction, but generally people who would go to a sub like that and be pedantic about the proper labelling of a firearm in such a topic have an agenda that runs opposite to the one they want to promote.
Not saying that's you, but I understand why they might assume so.
I'm not a fan of subs that ban all opposing views myself, but hey, its their sub.
