Recently I was simultaneously banned from a huge pile of “communities” with a mod commentary “for upvoting homophobic materials”(or “transphonic”, I don’t remember exactly). This kind of bans is the very reason why I quit Reddit. Is it normal here, or is it just some feral mod from Reddit?

P.S. Before you sidestep/offtop/ad-hominem here: no, I have nothing against LGBT folk and absolutely not interested in the theme.

    Well, not my case. Looks like once I used a pejorative term, just because I found it amusing (without knowing it was a racial slur in some countries). Shit may happen when you’re not a native speaker (and sometimes it happens even when you are).

      Maybe if you showed any sort of contrition instead of continually providing excuses as to why it’s not a problem people would believe it was just a mistake.

        Oh, just leave me alone. If you’re implying that I’m a racist you are being plainly dishonest. Maybe people should stop pretending to be offended by every little shit (or mistake) on the internet to farm fake karma points by virtue signaling. Goodbye.

          I’m not implying anything, I’m telling you why your denial is unbelievable: you haven’t said anything to imply you regret being racist, you’re just brushing it under the carpet as something you thought was funny. That’s not what people who aren’t racist say.
