    This might be an unpopular opinion, but I feel like the guillotine is a step too far. While Spez is absolutely a shitbag, it’s important to keep in mind that sensitive millionaires like him tend to misconstrue symbolism like this, and may take it more seriously than you’re intending for it to be taken.

      Well it is just a symbol for us french. Nobody would behead someone nowadays, we won’t even behead our president. It is only a graphic form of saying “fuck you”.

      Ok, maybe one or two strange dude would try to really use a guillotine, but fuck them as well.

        I get that, but it has “Hang Mike Pence” energy to me. It’s a dangerous line to step over, IMO.

          The former vice president ? Oh I get that, coming from those crazy MF following Trump, Q etc that would be frightening as they’ll probably do it and celebrate the act.

          You’re right that violence should not be encouraged, I believe this is why Reddit is censoring the guillotine but not the fuck u/spez.

        So, maybe don’t contribute to something that a petty bastard like Spez could present to a court as a death threat. He’s already shown he’s not above childish antics and that he genuinely does not care about anybody in his community.

        You guys are walking on thin ice with the guillotine, is all I’m saying. Don’t go catching a case over a shitty forum admin.
