I mean it's not a big loss or anything because I was really just perusing the site, and I rarely visit anyway. But, on the principle of it, doesn't banning someone for an honest mistake seem a bit much?

I dont care so much about Reddit but the implication of this in broader society is a little concerning though. Like correct me if you must and let's move on, not make me into a pariah and ban me from public discourse?

I can tell how unbothered you are by the fact that you chose to make a topic on a completely different website asking for sympathy

Well, getting banned from reddit isn't really a big deal and I've heard of people getting banned for a far less type of infraction....

As I said, the "bothersome" part of all of this comes from the fact that the gatekeepers of society may misconstrue your mistake for genuine malice.

Were you banned from Reddit as a whole or just one subreddit?

I'm not naming the reddit or giving context because I'm not asking for debate on whether the ban was warranted -- I already know it was not.

All I'm saying, and the entire point of the topic, is being marked as an enemy of an entire community when you genuinely didn't know that someone was transitioning has effects that will be far-reaching beyond just a piddly reddit site.

That definitely sounds like it was warranted.

Redditors are not "real people". They are the social outcasts who have been told no by everyone in their lives. They do not understand how the world actually works, only how it should work. No losses man. Context doesnt matter. Once they smell blood the sharks are eating. They have no value and irl would not he so bold so be happy you are not accepted.

Why do you believe so? Like why not correct me and let us go about our day, instead of giving me the gagging order. I'm not being rhetorical either, I really want to understand. I just don't think the punishment fits the infraction.

What far reaching effects did you getting banned have? Besides this topic here being created.

Extrapolate this to a real world situation. If I perceived you had slighted me due to a mistake made in earnest and general sentiment said you were a bad person for doing so, wouldn't you feel a bit miffed.

in that situation both parties would know the full context of the scenario though. itt you are refusing to provide that

You cant really make that claim after refusing to offer any context surrounding the ban and what subreddit this was.

Frankly, this just reeks of being sus.

We dont know thats the case though, and esp. considering your refusal to elaborate on any context speaks to otherwise.

So the far reaching effect == 1 person feeling a bit miffed
That's a bit underwhelming.

That's not necessarily true though. You can't, for example, expect someone who has lived all of their life in eastern culture who has moved to America to seamlessly adapt to our own social standards overnight.

Life itself presents far more complicated situations than these blanketed, ultra-puritan reactions are allowing for - so our answers must likewise be complicated.

If someone told me this in a real world situation and when questioned refuse to give any kind of context, I'd assume it was deserved then too.

Theres literally no scenario you can possibly offer up for comparison to justify your stance with this thread without providing the necessary context.

I'm not trying to justify anything though. For the third time, I'm not looking for someone to tell me "who's wrong here". It doesn't matter to me whether you internet strangers think I'm innocent or guilty.

I'm simply using my own personally-lived experience to seek a broader understanding of the society I live in and my own place in it. And maybe, just maybe, change them both for the better .
