Content warning: This article contains numerous examples of bigoted rhetoric. Update (10/20/23): In a statement to Media Matters regarding this article, a Reddit spokesperson said, “Hate and violence have no place on the Reddit platform. Our sitewide policies explicitly prohibit content that promotes hate based on identity or vulnerability, as well as content that encourages, glorifies, incites, or calls for violence or physical harm against an individual or group of people. In accordance with our policies, several pieces of content in the article were removed by community moderators or our Safety teams. Our internal data confirms significant reductions in the prevalence of hateful content since 2020. We remain committed to removing harmful content, including hate and harassment, across our platform.” As of this update, only two of the comments featured in this article have been removed. Users on Reddit’s “r/conspiracy” forum have repeatedly and openly posted anti-LGBTQ content for years without pushback, despite the platform’s rules prohibiting “hate based on identity or vulnerability” and anti-LGBTQ “groomer” rhetoric. Reddit has a history of taking action against other subreddits that have violated those rules. A Media Matters review of r/conspiracy since May 2020 found a widespread pattern of anti-LGBTQ hate, which includes accusing the LGBTQ community of grooming, having “mental illness,” and associating with pedophilia.
