Reddit has no problems pushing war footage though. Real people actually dying is totally cool!
That's more a prudish American culture thing than a reddit-specific thing. We went to see the latest Guardians movie over the weekend, in which they foleyed out the line "classy hoes" from No Sleep Till Brooklyn, and showed all sorts of violence, gory deaths, and lots of pretty fucking serious child abuse. And finally dropped the first f-bomb in any MCU movie, in the line "open the fucking door," which was said not in anger, but in exasperation.
America loves its violence, but don't you dare make any reference to anything close to sexuality.
Wasn't usa founded by literal puritans? So it sorta makes sense from a historical/cultural perspective
Its that good old American puritanical spirit at work
huh, I remember they actually banned a sub (WatchPeopleDie, IIRC) about footage where people actually dying, like the sub is full of videos of people's last moment, not like the PeopleFuckingDying which is a funneh sub, or WatchPeopleDieInside which is another funneh sub. Maybe it's too morbid.
I can go watch people die in a horrific manner in CombatFootage any day all day
They don't care about the content, 'WatchPeopleDie' was just too on-the-nose for them
It made news after germany banned it, so they've been forced to do something.
