    Depends on the context in which you’re sharing it.

    If you share it with a title like “We need more of this”, then yeah, because you’re encouraging further acts like it. If you share it with a title like “This is the manifesto written by the alleged CEO killer”, then that’s not inherently glorifying violence, you’re just sharing something you found and being informative. But if you share it in response to the question “Hey Reddit, what are some fun things I can do in NYC this weekend?”, then you’re back toward the “glorifying” side. Context makes all the difference.

    Whether or not anybody gives a shit about that distinction, though, is a different question.

      Maybe they should take it as “glorifying justice”? No, of course that doesn’t align with Reddit’s ruthless ruling.

        That’s the point of their last sentence.

          I think that statement could be interpreted a few different ways but regardless I think it’s helpful background information to know that they aren’t considering the context at all.
