I've never been called either in nearly 12 years on Reddit (and being plenty active with ~120k comment karma).

Maybe if you often get called that you should re-evaluate your opinions?

You are a fascist.

It’s easy to blend in when you blindly follow the narrative.

As if there is ever one "the" narrative. We're all following narratives, brother.

brother I got called a racist for saying a football (soccer) player who happens to be black is shite
and football fans are way less trigger happy with accusations of racism than americans seem to be, even if they themselves are american for some reason

Wow there's a lot of weird baggage in this comment.

or wait did i misunderstand

Not in my experience; you just have to interact with the right people and they'll sling those accusations around like mashed potatoes in a food fight.
