    It shouldn’t. It’s alright to be unhappy with someone’s opinion, but to collectively start to hate and express this hate towards a single person, that is highly questionable.

    It’s simply embarrassing low-level behaviour. One should not lower themselves to the level of the one they critique.

    But here we are, tons of morons chanting “fuck spez”, “fuck spez”,… Yea that will show him… Especially that everyone returned to r/place to have “fun” with the bots.

    What a joke.

      Do you like Trump? Or <insert local asshole politician here>?

      “Fuck <asshole person>” is one way to express to a wider forum of people a desire for change. Once you do communicate it, you can actually take action.

      Do you really think starting for example a “richtig and genau” petition without “hate speech” is better at accomplishing anything, than actually communicating a hate and working on it (hopefully); a hate that is honestly… deserved.

      If I didn’t see something like this on r/place, I might think reddit users got lulled into accepting late-stage capitalism fate.

      Fuck Spez.

      Or in more, different words: Spez is an asshole and deserves to see “his” “company” go bankrupt for his poor decisions.

        Why is that? What does it actually show? Does it show “UserDoesNotExist”, or does it show “very smart Idiot”? Because the second one should be the display name. But somehow it doesn’t work on other instances.
