Shit Reddit Says is pretty awesome and definitely on the right side of history. It’s not hard, it’s pretty simple.

Hi Ugh. How do you reconcile your view that this is a simple issue with the fact that it seems to be resulting in a large amount of discussion with a wide variety of views represented, some of which are diametrically opposed. I would contend that the evidence suggests that this is not a simple issue.
I don’t know. Weirdos scream the loudest, probably.
Chasing (mostly) attempts at comedy that disagree with your sensibilities may be a fun pastime (seriously) but it has absolutely no part in any sort of struggle for moral improvement if such process is even taking place.

I gotta say I agree with this. I mean, I've got my misgivings about SRS, but they did a pretty damn good job getting those subreddits shut down.
They're really not. They're for banning these subreddits because they don't like their content, not because they may represent a legal threat.
They, at best, misunderstand the issue at hand.
