Post had nothing to do with murder or violence. It is clear who reddit serves.

    Listen, I don’t think the post should have been removed, but I don’t think what you said is necessarily true. While obviously an extreme to make my point, if there was a non-violent quote from Hitler, nobody would bat an eye when it gets quickly removed. Of course Luigi isn’t the same as Hitler, but a case can be made that at a certain point the persons appearance is enough to make a statement, regardless of the quote in the post.

    Of course, it’s different because nearly everyone on this platform supports the movement that Luigi represented (myself included).

      You are comparing guerilla partisan resistance (from evil) with something that’s being resisted against (evil) and saying they both represent violence.

      I think that’s not correct.

      Some people that turn to violence in order to protect the weak are (treated as) heros.
