I don't care what people who DO use Reddit think about Reddit.

Why would you? Those people are sickos--not fit to breathe the same air as you or I.

EXACTLY..so why should we care what these morons who don't even completely know what Reddit is all about influence our fucking community?

Don't let them, ignore it.

Normally, I would agree, but when said people who "don't use Reddit" have the power to spread misconceptions and discredit Reddit, then it becomes a problem.

Basically, there is attention being drawn to parts of Reddit that doesn't not define the site, however the entire site is being judged according to it.

So, yeah. People who use Reddit could be negatively affected because of this. This may no longer be a site free of censorship.

I see what you're saying, but why should we care? The most that would happen is we lose r/jailbait and r/picsofdeadkids?

We should care because if the "powers that be" decides that enough is enough, there could be some serious crack downs on content on this site overall.

We've all seen what kind of censorship occurs there is "uptight citizen poutrage hysteria" about anything. Sure, we would get rid of r/jailbait, but what if that isn't enough to appease the outraged?

I might be cynical about this, but then again, indignation mixed with stupidity affects us all.

Static images and animated gifs should never mate, their chromosomes get all wonky and shit.

Jews in 1935 Germany: "Who cares what the goys think of our religion? They can worship the way they want, we'll worship the way we want. Everybody's happy!"

It's just not the internet until someone compares the current situation to Nazi Germany.

What we should do is draw media attention away from reddit by pointing out all the truly sick shit posted on 4chan.

On a serious note, though, I do not want to use a site that is associated in the popular consciousness with CP.

Or, perhaps, we ignore them and carry out our business as usual and not let it bother us? Seriously, fuck 'em.

I bet Reddit got a huge boost in traffic after someone on national television said "Go to reddit.com to get child porn." I mean, we're talking senators, CEOs, clergymen all visiting our site by the thousands thanks to that bit of masterful journalism.

So you're saying you told them you Reddit, but they don't know what it is?

Then, sir, it is your duty to enlighten them.
