I'm going to say here what got me banned from r/politics on Reddit.....

Krysten Sinema is literally Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter.

Yes, yes that did get me banned. Not kidding.

    And I can understand why when you abuse the word "literally" like that. What you mean is that she's figuratively Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter. /s

    I got banned from r/politics for wishing Rupert Murdoch got a nasty staph infection in an article which said he was in the hospital.

    I'd say it again too. Fuck Rupert Murdoch. I hope he gets a nasty staph infection.

    Craziest part: I got a strike for using gendered language even though Dolores Umbridge is a proper name, and as far as I know both the fictional character, the actual person, and Krysten Sinema all identify as female.

    I wouldn't have believed there were actually Krysten Sinema stans in the world if I hadn't experienced their wrath first hand. Of all the raucous shit I said on Reddit over the years, that was apparently the thing that was over the line 🙃

    /r/Politics mods were getting pretty heavy handed near the end there. I think it was because of the constant whining from conservatives about their bullshit being called out and downvoted whenever they posted it there.

    I caught a 1 week ban for something so minor I had to do a bunch of mental gymnastics to even figure out what they thought was objectionable about it. (And I can't remember what it was now.)

    Yes, yes that did get me banned.

    Good. I say this as a former mega HP fan: Read. Another. BOOK.

    Just because JK is a piece of shit doesn't mean someone can't enjoy HP. Further, it definitely doesn't mean that comparing Sinema to Umbridge isn't a great comparison.

    HP being shit is a good reason to move on though.

    Referencing a character in a wildly popular, successful, and entertaining young adult book series doesn't mean someone hasn't moved on. I haven't read any of the books since the last one came out and have read many other books that imo are far better. It's still a great reference.

    If you don't like it, don't read it. No need to be a gatekeeping twat about out it though. Just keep scroll and 'move on'.
