A reddit user posted screenshots of a gas giant that were beautifully adorned with the colors of the trans flag.

This attracted bigots with their agenda to disrupt the community discussion and the mods shut it down by locking the post.

So the poster created a second one with more photos as a symbolic gesture that the message was simply about pretty planets that they felt represented them-

It too, was locked.

I made a post there proclaiming that I am leaving until I see the mods replaced with those that will not give in to bigotry, and I linked to this community with the hope that people can find a new home here.

Sooooo… welcome new friends!

    I really just don’t care because I think I fundamentally disagree.

    If the post itself is related, and conversation under the post is related to the post, then it’s not off topic.

    If you post a pic of Sonic in a Sonic sub but the only discussions are fights about racism, I think that your issue is… that… people are racist… whoa. So ban the racist people instead of shutting down the thread?

    Like what are you saying, dawg?

      The conversation has nothing to do with the game the subreddit is about then it is off topic.

      The pic was intended to cause problems and OP doubled down on that fact when they reposted. OP intended to cause problems and was banned for it.
