Is it not bannable if the dead in question a criminal? If not, then what if the black person on said picture was a criminal? If yes, where do we stop? Prohibit pictures of dead people altogether, even if it is to show the casualties of terror attacks, or incidents like the Germanair catastrophe? Should we ban racist jokes? How can r/christianity and r/atheist both exist? One of those subs are even more wrong, and in a way, more offensive, than r/holocaust. What if God exists, he is the reason we still did not destroy ourselves, and people over at r/atheism are denying his existence, or even making a mockery about him. But what if r/atheism is right? Then r/christianity is quite offensive saying there's a God up there, while thousands of innocent people are dying for no good reason.
    Seriously man, you don't see that posting pictures of dead black women into sub called /r/blackwomen is a harassment of people that are going there? The sub isn't called watchblackpeopledie, it's called blackwomen. This isn't about any idea, this is about racist people being pieces of shit. I would even go as far as to say that this is borderline illegal as threatening with violence. I mean, if somebody come to your door and put a picture of a dead body in your mail wouldn't you feel threatened? This is the same thing, only in virtual environment and I seriously don't see why reddit should tolerate this kind of behavior?

    edit: NEVERMIND I completely misunderstood you. Leaking into other subs is like that is offensive, of course. If they do that, then they can be up for a ban. But the new CEO said Coontown is not in danger, so I don't know. Maybe it happened a long time ago?

    edit2: was it a coontown action at all though? I mean, let's say I beat someone who likes coldplay. Are NIN fans responsible for that or me?

    Does it matter ?
    I know I'm not taking the philosophical high road here, but you have a whole subreddit where people hype each other up against a whole other subset of humanity based on their religion, physical shape, skin color, gender identity... And they're hateful, violent, vicious about it.
    A handful of guys take upon them to crawl out of their sub and harass those other people with the exact same shit rhetoric they're using daily, it becomes a bit of a matter of chicken and egg, doesn't it ?
    Hey there's Hateville over there burning crosses and doxxing gays, and willi joe and billie bob came over here in Haventown to do the exact same shit. Maybe Hateville is a problem ?

    I don't know, as I said this shit angers me too much for me to be capable to take the "butbutbut free speech !" angle...
