From quickly browsing the stream, you seem to have a decent thought-out platform (even though I might disagree with your definition of “free speech”), and made some good memes in support. So not your platform, really.
Mainly I am turned off by the name thing. I have seen you explain that it’s a joke, a sort of play on the fact others running in the stream have appropriated communist imagery as a joke, etc.
That said, liberals jokingly calling themselves commies as a way to kind of reclaim and ridicule the lazy right-wing smears that anyone to the left of Trump is a communist has a longer history in internet culture. See: FALGSC, etc.
I think making WhiteNationalist your dang SN seems to be taking it a bit too far, and in spite of your vague denials I haven’t seen solid evidence that you are not one in fact.
One thing the past few years of politics has taught us is that when someone tells you who they are, then you should believe them. Disbelieve and downplay and explain away others’ stated motives at your own peril.
Having a user who announces himself as a WhiteNationalist represent all of ImgFlip (even in a roleplay capacity) with its diverse user base would I think alienate many users and undermine the fun of it.
And it’s normalizing the idea of voting for an actual white nationalist and that gives me pause.
I think you should listen to the feedback you’re getting from others on this and not reflexively reject it. You’d probably get more votes if you had a less divisive SN, just my two cents.
Well, that was longer than I intended but there is your answer.
