There was a reddit mod that went on a ban rampage because someone dared to use the word "female" instead of "woman" and their justification for it was, it could have been from an incel. Fucking hell, shit like that makes me glad I'm not on there anymore.

I've seen worse. Have you heard about the chicken sandwich drama?

  • user1 calls a chicken sandwich a "chicken sandwich", in a food subreddit.
  • user2 (an assumer unmoderating the sub) assumes that user1 is trying to "public shame" the OP, otherwise user1 would've called it a "chicken burger".
  • user1 and user2 start discussing through modmail, while user2 is clearly harassing user1
  • the discussion goes public
  • people start mocking user2 with the words "chicken sandwich" in all subreddits that user2 unmoderates

Bonus points: user2 also moderates a subreddit known for its propensity to brigade and try to... public shame people based on their cooking opinions.
