~~To be fair, that post in particular seems to have been locked because it is a repost. This post is older and has quite a bit of engagement. While a quick search in the popular subs reveals that this story seems to be surpressed there, it is not true for r/TheDeprogram. Even if that sub has some problems, this story is none of them.~~

The screenshot was posted to r/TheDeprogram, it wasn't taken there, I'm dumb.

That post is locked because it's on r/pics. r/TheDeprogram is an ML sub, the screenshot I posted was someone calling out r/pics.

Oh, I misunderstood. I thougth that the pic was from the deprogram sub. Thats why I went there and looked it up, because it would be very surprising to see that su censoring something like this.

Edit: It even says r/pics on the top of the screenshot, either I'm blind or I already forgot the layout of stormfront (or both)
