Call me a manchild all you want but this subreddit is a joke.
Yes, I have come from r/AskReddit, but that doesnβt make my opinions invalid.
First, itβs ridiculous that you guys make it out to seem like youβre an oppressed group.
Your automod message says βscalperβ is an ethnic slur and you call yourselves a minority group. Please, I invite you all to look up the definition of ethnicity. It means the state of belonging to a social group that has a common national or cultural tradition. That means national or cultural customs that are passed down from generation to generation. Iβd like to hear how you guys fit that definition, Iβm sure you can convince yourselves of something. All youβre doing is disrespecting the suffering of actual oppressed groups. If you think βscalperβ is on the same level as the n-word, youβre nuts. Plus, if you really thought it were an ethnic slur, you wouldnβt have put it in the name of your subreddit.
I also love how you describe this subreddit as a safe space while all you seemingly do is boast about your enormous profits and gripe about all the βdiscriminationβ you face. It feels a lot like one big circle jerk, not a source of support.
Second, Iβd like to point out that people donβt hate you scalpers because of who you are, they hate you because of what you do. Scalping takes the ability to buy stuff away from people who may really want it but canβt afford the prices scalpers charge. Do I want a PS5? Yes. Do I want to spend two or three times the retail price to get one? Not even close. Thatβs largely thanks to you guys, and that is why people donβt like scalpers. You can choose not to do that, but because youβre greedy and inconsiderate, you wonβt. Ultimately, Iβm annoyed that you guys scalp, but what I really take issue with is the way you present yourselves; the way you attempt to avoid criticism by fabricating a culture around scalping with the idea that you deserve respect as a minority group. I think you all know itβs BS, but wonβt ever admit it.
Of course, yβall are very predictable. I know youβll call me a manchild simply because you donβt agree with me, claim Iβm only jealous of all the money youβre making, and that youβll try to rationalize and justify your actions like you always do. Be my guest, but I wanted this to serve as a message to all the sane people on this sub.
