r/WhiteBeauty was meant as a counter to r/BlackBeauty of posting pictures of beautiful women in general. It was banned for anti-race mixing rhetoric and disallowing pictures of Jewish women.

They could've simply gone with, "hate speech is wrong and we are taking a firmer stand against it", and most people would've applauded them.
Instead, they went for the longer statement of, "hate speech is wrong and we are taking a firmer stand against it, except when it's against the majority", and now they are pissing off a ton of people and emboldening bigots.
Just...what even.

reddit was more of a dumpster fire before this happened
don't get me wrong, it's still a dumpster fire, but it's a slightly smaller dumpster fire

They could've simply gone with, "hate speech is wrong and we are taking a firmer stand against it", and most people would've applauded them or at least remain neutral to it.

Shitty identitarian doctrine. That's what even. Reddit decided it wanted to join the train of hateful revenge. This is another reason I want revolution.

Why haven't they banned r/conspiracy at this point?
Also, Doxxing can be stopped with simple post editing or removal. One bad banana doesn't always spoil the bunch.

They could've crossed out a few words from the rule, and then there's zero worry about whether or not majority groups will be exempted by Reddit's rules. But no, "the rule does not protect groups of people who are in the majority" was a necessary bit somehow.
Points for banning some hate speech, but banning all was too much for them I guess.

Alright, thread topic isn't Posadism, you yourself made it clear it's about Reddit's rule change. Let's stay on topic please.

I just don't understand how they could've thought that blatantly endorsing it against a certain group was a good idea.
That's practically just an intentionally manufactured controversy.
Marginalized or vulnerable groups include, but are not limited to, groups based on their actual and perceived race, color, religion, national origin, ethnicity, immigration status, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, pregnancy, or disability. These include victims of a major violent event and their families.
While the rule on hate protects such groups, it does not protect all groups or all forms of identity. For example, the rule does not protect groups of people who are in the majority or who promote such attacks of hate.
