Thats not really true.

Having a baseline of human decency doesn't strike me as something a community should be trying to stop. The only thing Tidder cares about stopping is getting their nudies from being taken away.

There's a reason the only subreddits I hang out on are blackladies, blackfellas, and hiphopheads.

The opposite of "universally acceptable" for Reddit is straight white males that are taking STEM classes. If you're going to claim to be the front page of the Internet, herpderp, then you should claim responsibility.

Insomnia's comment in particular strikes me as surprising because she's talked about how prolific and widespread of a reach Reddit has in the real world. Shouldn't that be something you want to keep just a tiny bit in check?
