Lmao yeah I guess I could see that to an extent. Still a silly reason to ban.

Can you expand on land back, in the context of the contiguous united states? I placed the quotations becausethese countries used to be settler colonies, yes. They are now, however, racially/ethnically/socioeconomically diverse sovereign nations with democratic republic systems of government, not colonies. Every single country in the history of earth has a track record with human rights abuses and horrific social practices. I’d argue that CURRENTLY Saudia Arabia is a particularly clear example of practiced modern day slavery, radical abuses of women/lgbtq+ people, state sponsored murder of journalists, state sponsored murder based on speech and operates under a completely antiquated form of government in the form of a monarchy. Said monarchy is the body that paid for this show to happen. Track records are one thing, CURRENT conditions are another entirely.

Agree completely

If a cabal of random billionaires hosted the festival, yes people would still be upset. I think people are significantly more upset that its being hosted by the leadership.

I agree with everything you’ve said.

Then why wasn’t it corrected after months and dozens of submitted appeals?

No shot

It has nothing to do with religion for me personally. Its about the reported slave labor, journalist killings, lack of rights for women and the countries connection to 9/11. Saying the US is killing people doesn’t help or clarify anything. It’s disingenuous and attempts to dismiss a legitimate criticism. Also, like I said, I’m genuinely not “above” consuming media from a country I think is bad. I haven’t missed a UFC event in more than a decade. That company does shitty things but they don’t really lie about them. The comedians I’m concerned with have made their careers (in some cases) talking about completely antithetical ideas/topics to Saudia Arabian media, culture and journalism.

Yeah, I started using it in high school. Like 2012. Shit is CRAZY.

That’s true, I guess I just hoped for better after using the site for over a decade. I figured this going public thing would lead to less offensive/violent content. I didn’t think it would lead to my banning.

It, unfortunately, does go burrrrr

So, what, Ideally, should happen to “settler-colonies” like the US, Australia and New Zeland. Because human rights violations happen in one place doesnt excuse them happening in another. They can all be bad…

That’s ban evasion and would give them an actual reason to ban me.

I cannot ask on reddit because I am site wide shadow banned.

Entire site.

Just by being alive in the country ?

You’re definitely right.

I understand your point. Can’t well complain about it there though can I? Moreso just interested to hear other people’s experience and opinion on the matter.

I tend to agree with this stance. Particularly hypocritical of one of my top 5 favorites Bill Burr.

Unfortunately, when I got shadow banned, I wasn’t told who did it or why it happened. I responded frequently to askreddit questions and never said anything aggressive or offensive.
