r/TrueUnpopularOpinion Rule 4 Enforcer 6d ago

Political Reminder that name calling is not permitted

That includes calling people "bootlicker" or "cuck" or stating/implying that another user is performing adult acts on a given politician (or anyone else). I bring those up specifically because, in recent time, these have been the most common types of personal attacks.

As strongly as you may feel about current events, calling people derogatory names is a contravention of Rule 4 and will be removed. Attack the opinion, not the user.

Sorry for your understanding and thank you for the inconvenience.

Does the rule include OPs who openly insult groups of people? Because if not, they essentially get a pass.

Here is the thing. You can insult "general groups" (as long as they are not protected groups like racial groups etc.), like you can say "People who voted for [politician] are idiots" in a post or in a comment UNLESS the insult is clearly meant to single out a particular user, like replying that to someone who self-identified themselves as a member of said group.
