Subreddit r/Animemes Bans 'Trap', Loses Almost 100k Subscribers in Two Weeks - Nicchiban
Moderators of r/Animemes recently banned the word "trap" from the subreddit, drawing backlash and losing almost 100,000 subscribers. For those unfamiliar, the word "trap" is commonly used in circles…
So I'm just now realizing why the word "trap" and animemes controversy was a controversy and I feel stupid for blindly siding with animemes.
When I first heard abut this controversy, in /r/animemes; I believed in the animemes community because I (somehow) thought their rights were being taken away.
Sometime later, I heard about the controversy through the /r/trans community; I found out that trap is a slur against (female-to-male) transsexuals. After that, I believed in the trans community side over the /r/animemes community.
I don't really care about this controversy; I forgot it even happened; but I feel so gullible in general because all sides seem to make sense to me.
