Freedom fries meme mod#
This does not go over well, as it turns out that one of the mods of r/food is also a mod of r/iamveryculinary.
Someone else then goes and posts about burgergate on another sub, r/iamveryculinary, which is dedicated to making fun of food related snobbery and drama. This particular thread in the screenshot is locked, an interesting detail for reasons that come into play later. You can see in the post that this made it into r/subredditdrama, a community which discusses ongoing drama across reddit. The mod who initially instituted the ban then went on to compare fending off spammers to defending the capitol building during the January 6 riot. All this anger turned into a brigade which resulted in the entire sub being flooded with almost nothing but posts about Chicken Sandwiches, now known as burgergate. It all started when the sandwich guy posted about what happened to him on r/TIFU, which led to a lot of outrage including someone in the comments saying they were also banned from r/food just for saying they had diabetes (this was later confirmed by a mod). Okay but this also does not scratch the surface either The mod that handed the ban down pinned a post doubling down, comparing the situation to “Pride posts that always fill up with bigots” and “removing racists from posts featuring POC”, and including a link on “how to correctly, correct someone.”īecause someone commented “Chicken Sandwich” on a post titled “Chicken Burger”. So now /r/food is on lockdown after being spammed with posts titled “Chicken Sandwich” and other variations. “Correcting someone in public is public shaming, on top of being incorrect, it’s a pretty shitty comment to leave.” When they responded to ask why, the mod said Another user commented “Chicken Sandwich” on the post, and was slapped with a 30 day ban by the mods. Someone posted a picture of a piece of chicken between two hamburger buns titled “Chicken Burger” to /r/food. Gang this does not even scratch the surface Love that this caused so much controversy the thread needed to be locked. My GP: i’m gonna play devil’s advocate here for a moment if the medication isn’t helping anymore, have you tried exercising?
Me: like, i live downtown and it’d be nice to be able to take a short walk to the secondhand bookstore or that local pizza place i like, you know? i used to do that all the time but it hurts too much now Genius doctors: have you tried increasing your physical activity? I love it when I tell doctors that I’m a LARPer and an endurance hiker and one of the most frustrating things about chronic pain is how hard it is to go to the park and do my favorite physical activites, and they’ll look at me like a dog that’s just been shown a card trick and ask, “Have you tried exercising?”īrother, you don’t even know how bad I wish we could try exercising rnĬhronic illness patients: so I really like to do but it’s gotten like, physically hard to do lately
