Musk tried to make a right wing chat bot trained on twitter and a bunch of right wingers were made it was "woke".

No he didn't. You're just so accustomed to left wing circlejerks you think anything that allows right wing opinions is rightwing itself. Go back to reddit and stay there. You'll feel safer from all the true things out there that hurt your feelings.

Woke people are racist, and sexist. And if you disagree with them they'll excommunicate you for heresy. We call it "cancel culture" now, but it's the same thing.

And at reddit, this is an enforced policy of sexism and racism. From reddit a -employee-:

"Our rule1 protects groups that are attacked based on a vulnerability, which doesn't pertain to white people or men as a group." Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/NgOxEg0.pn... The red username indicates an "admin" (employee).

What is rule 1?

"Remember the human. Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people. Everyone has a right to use Reddit free of harassment, bullying, and threats of violence. Communities and users that incite violence or that promote hate based on identity or vulnerability will be banned." (https://www.redditinc.com/policies/content-policy)

So in practice, according to one of their employees it's actually:

"Remember the non-white male human. Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking non-white people or women. Everyone except white people and men have a right to use Reddit free of harassment, bullying, and threats of violence. Communities and users that incite violence or that promote hate against non-white people or women will be banned."

And this is absolutely born out in their repeated banning of male-centric subs, while the most toxic community I've ever seen remains, because it's wildly sexist against the correct gender. And there are multiple "fragile white redditor" type subs also, but all other "fragile redditor" subs were instantly banned.

Here's a sample of currently active hate subs:

* https://old.reddit.com/r/Fragi...

* https://old.reddit.com/r/Fragi...

* https://old.reddit.com/r/Femal...

* https://old.reddit.com/r/AreTh...

There are a bunch of fragile$GROUP subs that redirect to FragileWhiteRedditor or FragileMaleRedditor too, here's a fun example: https://old.reddit.com/r/fragi... The sole post says "Nope. Nice try /r/FragileWhiteRedditor." These subs all make it really obvious that the REAL policy is not the one in the official policy, but the one that exempts men and white people as a group from any protections.

That is, it's sexist and racist. Deliberately. Proudly.
