== Banishment of /r/BigChungus == On June 29, 2020, Reddit went through with a banwave that banned many subreddits, including r/the_Donald, r/ChapoTraphouse, and more. r/bigchungus was one of the banned subreddits. There was a relatively large controversy surrounding this, as reddit had been cracking down on bigotry, many subreddit mods and owners feared that their subs will reach a similar fate despite attempts to moderate it, especially subreddits with a similar humor like /r/[[OkBuddyRetard]]. Users of many ironic reddit communities would massively circlejerk this ban, due to big chungus' ironic nature. <small>How could big chungus be such a bigot.</small> === Theories === This mass ban wave is speculated to had been mainly done due to an open letter being sent by users of /r/[[AgainstHateSubreddits]]. Which had reached around 30 thousand upvotes, the users had goals such as to hire more minorities and women of color, and banning hate communities such as /r/BigChungus. Some had also speculated and had theories made about a connection to long-banned r/ChungusRight and r/ChungusEthnostate subreddits, along with the fact that a r/ConsumeProduct had a mod named NazbolChungus.
