Cheers. Every weeknight, walking down the hallway to the sound of “Making your way in the world today takes everything you’ve got…”

Did everyone responding to you miss the FrenWorld drama at Reddit a few years back? It was thinly-veiled racism disguised as friendly comics. It was finally banned for both that and glorifying violence.
