the bait post:
https://old.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/1eavo0h/donald_trump_and_japans_first_lady_who_pretended/
Explanation:
After seeing what some of these subs have become (non-stop Drumpf bad posts), I decided to test out the theory that anything remotely critical of him would get massive engagement.
I posted a picture of Donald Trump at a dinner with Shinzo Abe and a questionable claim about Abe's wife. This claim went viral on Social Media at the time, to the point that the MSM spent time trying to determine how true it was
When I checked this morning the post got over 100k upmarseys with mostly supportive comments all following a very similar format. They were either related to the title, or following the same three talking points (Trump is dumb, an adjudicated male feminist, old & likely suffering from dementia).
A few minutes ago, I was banned permanently from the sub, with the comment I made on this sub being the reason why (they literally linked it in the message).
When I asked what specific rule I broke, I was told it was against their anti-bigotry rule which prohibits racism, sexism, transphobia, etc.
They then linked another comment I made here with the caption 'you know what you did' and muted me.
Based on these events, it would appear large sub jannies are aware of this activity on their subs and also attempting to shut down criticism of it.
I know this is probably old news to a lot of you but I just thought it was worth sharing.
I've attached photos for proof:
Photo #1: Original post on large sub
Photo #2: Ban message
Photo #3: First comment linked in ban message
Photo #4: Comment linked under 'you know what you did'.
I did my best to discourage brigading but if the mods of this sub feel like this post puts this sub in danger from the reddit overlords feel free to delete this.

stupidpol users just need to seriouspost a little less and they'd fit in here. They're intellectually our cousins after all.

Nibba before 2020 /r/stupidpol was the subreddit with the biggest user overlap with /r/Drama, even Pizzashill and Snally used to post in there, I am pulling this info out of my butt but I recall using a subreddit stats website who showed that as much as like 85% of /r/stupidpol posters also posted on /r/Drama at least once, or vice-and-versa, with 85% of /r/Drama users commenting on /r/stupidpol at least once. !metashit

I liked stupidpol because I always imagined the mascot image speaking like an old British lady saying "Stupid Pol" and saying something like harumphh and turning her head

I posted a lot there too (under a different name). But over time down went Gucci then Dougtoss with a simultaneous influx of KIAtards and it lost its flava
Now maybe 1 comment out of 10 is a shitpost rather than 9/10.

The user's only mistake was admitting to the psyop publicly on Reddit. They could have easily kept the dumbass mods and userbase dancing to their tune without that admission.
