Wow. I've had other ridiculous bans in the past too.

Best one was banned for sexual harassment and being 'toxic'.

It was back when u/theawkwardturtle was blowing up a storm and some feminist banned me for the word 'ok' because she said anyone who would oppose me and awkwardturtle by commenting are going to get a permanent ban and a harassment violation from reddit.

Next mine I was banned from that sub and I got a temp ban from reddit for the word 'ok' lmao.

Tried to appeal for the hell of it months later and the mod denied me instantly and said what i done was atrocious and I deserve my ban, called me a horrible human being and said I was a sexualising predator etc.

I've always hated reddit mods but man I'm glad I'm not that active on that sespool of hate anymore.

Somehow I missed all that controversy. Looking it up now, wow what a shit-show. Just to clarify for anyone else reading this, it was the user AwkwardTheTurtle not theawkwardturtle.
