MRW when I see a political post now:
StarkRG
You know political posts have always been here, right? The only thing that's changed is you.
CynicalPrints
Truth!
littlegingerone
As a non American I find it entertaining. Only because we don't have a government proper atm and we still arnt as bad as the UK
NorthmanDan
How is the UK bad? I don't understand the point of view. Nothing has really changed for us as a people in years.

Go start a political rally for your requests
jatene
Well I do need a haircut.
StarkRG
Must be nice having such a selective memory. There's ALWAYS been political posts.
TrueNorthernLights
Yeah but see, politics is showing Trump's not universally loved, therefore it's bad.

Go into Funny.

Political commentary on imgur should be just like selfies: downvoted except for one day out of the yar

Imgur is for laughs. Not for everyone’s “expert” opinion. Shut the fuck up about “oRanGe Man” and show me the dark memes I came here for.
icyanddicey
Great username, bro.
StarkRG
Imgur has always had political posts. Stop trying to change Imgur to what you think it should be.
AmazinglyCoolNameHere
Imgur is for whatever people want it to be, the world doesn’t revolve around you.
youknowthatonepersonwiththeface
Apparently democracy is only good when it lines up with their interests
Mikotus127001
So according to you, the world revolves around Trump? Fuck that guy and fuck you.
AmazinglyCoolNameHere
Is that what I said? Have you tried reading what I said? You crybaby bitches need to accept that other people have other interests.
scruffenheim
Yeah I.. I finally agree. On one hand it makes sense. We need the outlet. Comedy is often rooted in truth. On the other.. Fuck.

Hey now, I mix my blind political rage with complete irrelevant randomness.

Not allowed to post anything else anymore.

Cant even post memes that have the word penis in it I got reported for that
SLL1K
gotta follow reddit's lead.
WhoDoYouThinkYouAreKid
I was wondering where all the rhm, tht, etc posts went. Thought i was just losing it. Censorship is weird, innit?
BloodRedWolf
Confirmed, imgur is now a cesspool for political propaganda. I'm just waiting on an imgur replacement at this point.
thingymcthingface
tiktok?

Nudes and lewds?
h0tdoglatte
Yup. It’s just another Facebook or instagram at this point. But hey, they make ad revenue!

Msg me if you find it. I used to enjoy the odd lewd, it was like seeing a tree in a polluted metropolis. People kept saying "go to forests."

I'm gonna make my own Imgur with blackjack and hookers!
Mobileuserwholikestoberandom
What’s wrong with it’s predecessor, Reddit? I never got into it, but it seems like it has what people want on here.
TheElusiveEnchilada
Is it possible to be banned from posting? I think I got banned for posting stupid memes and marking them mature...
h0tdoglatte
You can get banned for comments.
Onsvaltti
Imgur warned me for using the word "dragqueen" when I talked about types of drags. If this gets deleted, you'll know why. ?
ThePotatoBandit
I got one for a use of the word trap
Onsvaltti
Wow
DLTBGYDCU
YES! Get the political hacks their own page.
youknowthatonepersonwiththeface
No.
StarkRG
Why? You're trying to change Imgur from what it's always been. If you don't like it, then leave.
passthebeans
It’s actually awesome. It’s like having a twitter account you never wanted. Half the posts are Twitter screenshots
DLTBGYDCU
Commenters were nicer to you. We said the same thing.

Amwaysalesdept
Enhancement Request: A political filter like Mature filter
StarkRG
And how, precisely, would you suggest implementing such a filter? Are we now going to be required to categorise all posts?
Amwaysalesdept
Just shit posts. We have a mature tag that works great. I suggest the same for politics.
StarkRG
The mature filter isn't for people who just don't want to see them, it's so people can browse in situations where it could get them in
StarkRG
trouble. There are no situations where coming across a political post will get you in trouble. Other people are tired of seeing "my x just
StarkRG
died" posts, so we should probably include those, also. And what about people who don't want to see DIY posts? Or weight loss posts?
ShouldersDeepInAHorse
Imgur front page: OH MY GOD DID YOU HEAR WHAT TRUMP SAID HERE'S 12 POSTS WIHT 24/7 NEWS COVERAGE ABOUT HIM LOOK AT HIM LOOK AT HIM TRUUUUMP

oh fuck off, this place was a den of inquity,memes, and politics ever since the get go
prophet002
Change it then moron.
youknowthatonepersonwiththeface
So lemme get this straight, you're fine with further rigging a user based democratically controlled website? Sounds like a good plan bud.
Studman82
You know the down vote all selfies rule? Let’s extend that to anything political and make imgur great again.
StarkRG
How about we just leave Imgur how it's always been. Just because you have a selective memory shouldn't mean we have to change.
youknowthatonepersonwiththeface
Thats bullshit and you know it, are democratically voted decisions only okay when it conforms to your tastes
bigcheezefartz

Real funny you'd choose a guy who was ignored by a political health crisis to agree with ignoring politics

TrueNorthernLights
I love how you can always find the Trump supporters. They're the ones bitching about politics on imgur, lol!
AddictiveTendancies
That says more about you than who you keep pointing your finger at. It changes too, the finger pointing. Ever think if they'll point at you?
DanielMurphyIsGod
No as a free American I can vote for whoever I want. Nobody cares what you think.
DLTBGYDCU
With you Bro. Imgur is full of political hacks pushing their poison.
TrueNorthernLights
Aww, so salty.
heynongman4pres
Oof. Well I’m not going to waste your or my time arguing your politics. History (and the present) will not be kind to your foolishness.
DanielMurphyIsGod
I'm not looking to argue. We can agree to disagree. I think history will be plenty kind to Trump honestly, but that's just my opinion.
Stabmatic
It depends on from whose perspective it's written. Frankly I think his behavior, even on Twitter, is disgusting half the time. 1/4
Aloofgoof
I dunno man. I thought George W was stupid as hell, but Trump is equally dumb plus he’s a narcissistic asshole. Stain on the presidency.

You're right tipping is racist

As much as your verbal incontinence counts as argumentation

I agree, but assuming the spam bots are paying for access, likely they make the front page regardless of how the users vote.

Love my foreign Imgurians, but if you shitpost 24/7 trying to influence another nation's elections then there's a problem. Ask Bob Mueller.

Imagine being European and not posting about USA politics 24/7.

Dude. I’m so with you. I’ve lowered myself to trolling and pissing off people for entertainment. I feel bad.

They really need a separate section for political nonsense...all political posts should be marked political and sent there or be deleted
Fr1edToast
Anything can be politicized. That “section” would grow to encompass all topics.
PhillFan
I'd like to see that or have them auto tagged so I can filter them out. I come here for funnies not the political nonsense of USA
TrueNorthernLights

Youhavinagiraffe
You'd struggle to get agreement on what counts as political and what doesn't. Some idiots think gay wedding pics are "pushing an agenda"
AddictiveTendancies
This post is pushing an agenda, believe it or not...
Youhavinagiraffe
Agreed, "you should stop talking about politics" is a political statement (often from those with a vested interest in the status quo)
iMuteMorons
Also, when you mute a user, you still see all their posts. Being able to filter out certain users would drastically decrease the politics.

We have a mature filter, we should have a political one as well.
HellaFishsticks
What is political for some is life for others. How do you decide?
Chewthestitches
Let's be honest, the mature filter is for looks.
TheDudeanator
The mature filter is to make it easier for mods to find and delete the undesirables.
YouAlreadyMutedMe
You're assuming they would tag themselves as such or that the Mods would actually give a fuck. Hint: they don't.
ThePotatoBandit
Think they're should be a mature and an NSFW filters because pics of girls in bikinis not ideal for looking at work but isnt really "mature"
iamthisguy247
That’s really the best option. If they are getting upvotes, obviously some people want them. But there should be options for those who don’t
tortfeasor
As political spam bots likely pay the site for access, we will never have a filter. The site's free, the users are the product being sold.
LobsterBandito
They need the “mature filter” to be on the App Store as they don’t allow “adult content” or something. Whether the filter actually works...
sleepinggreenidea
Who gets to decide what is political? That's a hugely political decision & invariably leads to only SOME politics being declared off limits.
WoeToHice
Why? Shouldn't downvoting work? Or is it, perhaps, that you guys are a minority and that the majority is more invested into politics (1/2)
