      Well technically, there’s no culture war thread on the subreddit anymore, so all of the culture war rules they had to invent to contain the culture war they started in part by inventing a series of culture war rules which constantly fed the flames of culture war are irrelevant, since when there’s no culture war thread to quarantine the culture war it’s fine to wage culture war elsewhere (and if you took away culture war, what would be the point of either the sub or its inspiring author?)
