That seems like a great analogy until I remember that we built DC on a drained swamp.

Again, their statement was that if it involved pain then it was unacceptable. I pointed out boxing, they mentioned concentual. I pointed out that the user consented when they visited the URL.

It's not the content of the subreddits alone, but they inevitably "leak", or actively encourage harassment of people on other subreddits. This is how they can be harmful even to people who never go to the banned subreddit.
