Ok, so it looks like stormfront is a website that promotes white pride. It sounds like there might have been a subreddit at some point based on that stormfront image.

And /r/196 is a leftist meme posting subreddit that is trans friendly.

I'm using non-reddit links because I don't want to direct traffic to reddit.

Can you help me find a source that shows, stormfront, a white pride website, influenced the 196 rule please? This seems like an important point to learn more about. I've been googling, but I haven't found any connection yet.

It's a long running hexbear joke to compare Reddit to stormfront given how racist and white it was

That's why the emoji booty used is called :reddit-logo :

The original sub was banned from Reddit for repeatedly saying a person who killed slave owners did nothing wrong, as some additional context

Who was the person who killed salve owners? I honestly do not know the history of the original sub.
