/r/196's thing is its a "rule" that you have to post something whenever you visit the sub. And most people post "rule" when they do so.

This comm is just reusing the tic.

Its a hexbear joke to call reddit stormfront

It's a long running hexbear joke to compare Reddit to stormfront given how racist and white it was

That's why the emoji booty used is called :reddit-logo :

Redditor trying to decipher the bit:

196 was creepy and chaser-y about trans folks?

Also the emoji is just making fun of how openly or (poorly) covertly white supremacist reddit is in general.

"Trans friendly" is a weird way to say creepy chasers, the amount of overt sexualisation and objectification of trans people from non-trans people there is horrendous.

You're reading too hard into the reddit=stormfront thing. It's just a common leftist refrain off-reddit because 90% of the site is pro-nato white supremacy and nationalism even if a handful of communities might be slightly less bad.

It's a joke to dunk on Reddit, it's become part of our parlance so we tend to drop it pretty casually. I can see how it comes across as accusatory here, but I think the user probably didn't mean anything by it.

And /r/196 is a leftist meme posting subreddit that is trans friendly.

Back when i still visited reddit, i got bullied pretty hard by them for pointing out that it's latently transphobic, assimilationist and toxic to shit on the way r/traaaaaaaa was inclusive of trans catgirl culture. They had an entire thread on how the memes on r/traaaaaaa were cringe and unfunny and it was full of latent bigottry like that. Made them sound like a bunch of chuds and truscums. r/196 also has a not insubstantial amount of chasers. Fetishizing us and talking about your favorite trans porn while dismissing the opinions of trans women as cringe isn't trans friendly, it is objectifying and shitty and r/196 can go fuck itself.
