Following a conversation in the Mod chat, we've decided that were banning posts that have their punchlines based off of the autistic child or Tard child, because although people on reddit tend to tolerate posts like this, at the end of the day, it's a joke making fun of people with disabilities or on the spectrum and acts as though they're all like that stupid 'REEE' post from 4chan.

So yeah, just like 'Lol, u wild, wyd' got cancelled from /r/BlackPeopleTwitter , we are cancelling this.

No more tarded kid or autistic kid posts, and we won't accept it as a slur either or as an insult in comments.

Thank you.

IMPORTANT EDIT Okay, so not many of you are receiving this well, and I'm not surprised and I can understand why

I'll be honest here; personally, I'm not disabled in anyway (despite what some comments here suggest) so those jokes can't personally offend me directly (although some people on the mod team do know people who would, but that's not my entire point here). My vote into the decision was also due to me believing that the jokes are just plain lazy without any effort, whereas memes like those Fake History Memes, or Smooby Posts have some effort put into them to make them. Even IncreasinglyVerbose memes need some effort, but autistic child posts are just a caption under a picture of that Freeze Face episode and the joke is 'lol, autism'.

• People generally use autistic/retarded as a slur in earnest, whilst nazi humour and holocaust jokes are made purely out of shock humour since nazi's are generally condemned, so it's not as though there is an issue right now where people who make Jewish Jokes support Nazism.

• Jokes/comments that are supporting/condoning Nazi actions, I would definitely remove those, but most Nazi jokes/ Jewish jokes do not support the Holocaust. Also, those fake history memes actually have some sort of effort put in them, but the tard jokes generally do not.

• If you yourself enjoy these jokes, I have no issue with that; I'm not going to ban people who browse /r/Imgoingtorockbottom for enjoying those types of jokes, and if you think we're being too PC or anything of that sort, well, that's fine, I don't have a problem with that. We have a 'no low effort posts' rule, and I myself think that the rule should cover posts like that.

• I've been a mod of /r/Imgoingtorockbottom before, and have no problem with the sub being there or people visting it or whatnot, but that sub and a sub like /r/Patrig both have their own kinds of posts that we don't believe represent /r/BikiniBottomTwitter .
