I can’t really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by “both” sides of the spectrum. It’s just something I find interesting.

Also the left projects and makes shit up constantly. Hell, one of their favorite phrases “dog whistle” means “My opponent did not say X, but I want him to say X, so I’m going to pretend he said X”
You: “The left projects and makes shit up constantly!”
Also you: Proceeds to project and just make some shit up in the next goddamned sentence.
What did I make up? You can see @TrismegistusMx@lemmy.world use “dog whistle” in that exact fashion.
Just say you don’t understand what dog whistling is and move on
I find it hilarious how this comment has 11 likes which is pretty decent for the atmosphere here but the user got banned
See that technique you just used is call “gaslighting.” A dogwhistle is when you say something that’s not exactly advocating for unspeakable ideas, but indicates that you hold those ideas and is intended to garner support. So when you said “Mohamed raped a 9 year old, and reddit doesn’t like that particular fact about that particular religion” you were dogwhistling to other islamophobes and hateful people the idea that all Muslims are child rapists.
Oh, nice, dog whistle inception! I never said the “all Muslims are child rapists”, but you wanted me to have said “all Muslims are child rapists”, so you’re pretending I said “all Muslims are child rapists” anyway. And you claimed I was gas lighting, when it was you who was. Truly the shitty cherry on top.
No, what I really mean is Muslims worship a child rapist, which I thought was pretty clear.
Yeah but now you can just say that instead of actually talking about the subject. If it were any other time, you would say something like “there is no credible source that Aisha was 9 when they married” or “are you saying that christians didn’t historically marry 14 year-olds?” Or whatever other rebuttal you can have. And someone who doesn’t know anything about the subject who is reading this might be swayed to your position. If you just say “fuck off with this dogwhistle” people might not be convinced.
