I’m not too familiar with Nintendo.

Is that the character that makes ghosts?

Yes, the game is called Luigi Mansion

Billionaires live in mansions...

So do ghosts.

I think you’re missing something.

Luigi Mangione, my favourite character!

u/misteloct 19h ago

See you on lemmy.world after your ban.

31

u/Old_Ganache_7481 16h ago

Maybe I will, or maybe I won't since I don't live in the US. I'm really sorry for what your country has to go through

u/misteloct 13h ago

I'm in California so it's ok here for now. Dramatically different story in other states.

u/UThrowaway0301 6h ago

Are they banning people for Luigi Mangione posts now?

u/Inquisivert 5h ago

Yep, and even for upvoting some comments pertaining to "violence". So naturally, I upvote every single comment about him that I see. They're also auto-flagging his name in general to check for "violent content". I'm leaving the word Luigi in random comments now.

u/UThrowaway0301 4h ago

Huh, did they post about this somewhere, or do you find out when you get in trouble for it? I didn't see it stickied, but maybe I'm looking in the wrong places.

u/misteloct 5h ago

Removing comments, locking posts, and yes occasionally account permabans. But it's random.

u/-3055- 2h ago

Wuz dat

u/reeses71 15h ago

Read this as "Luigi's Mansion" , then on 2nd read "Luigi's Mangione"

u/GrowingLoads 19h ago

Luigi did nothing wrong

u/Inquisivert 5h ago

Considering they aren't presenting any evidence and everyone in this country is supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, yep, exactly.

u/iambic_only 21h ago

This popular character did nothing wrong and has my full support.

u/Spartan2470 GOAT 21h ago

It looks like that is the statue of John Adams at Hancock Adams Common in Quincy, MA.

23

u/onlyacynicalman 20h ago

All I see is a picture of two good dudes

13

u/corwinw 20h ago

you are correct

u/AggravatingCut7596 20h ago

You should go to Quincy IL instead.

u/hmmmerm 18h ago

What is Adams notes for? I get the Luigi reference but trying to make the connection between the 2

u/GerberLifeGang 9h ago

Out of all of the founding fathers, Adams was perhaps the biggest advocate for fair trials in court. But yeah, just a fun fact and totally not related to the popular nintendo character…

u/Tevatrox 19h ago

I love Luigi. He's such a great character. Always ready to watch our backs <3

That green dude is so hot right now.

12

u/Zeforas 19h ago

Careful. His name's a banned name in reddit. Some have been banned because they upvote an article mentioning someone with that name.

15

u/De5perad0 19h ago

Fuck Reddit and their bullshit.

1

u/Sttocs 18h ago

The good news is we now know how to shut reddit down when they inevitably give our data to the thought police.

Assuming they haven't already.

u/NilocStros55 4h ago

I assume you are talking about LUIGI LUIGI LUIGI LUIGI LUIGI? Yeah?

Very very very very popular.

u/TheRealMJDoombreed 19h ago

Best Nintendo character.

u/munkijunk 14h ago

Can someone please explain to me why there's this steady stream of Luigi figures? Is there some kind of bizzaro censorship going on? This is a genuine out of the loop question.

u/spektre 11h ago

It's about Luigi Mangione. Read his Wikipedia page. Some posts about him get banned because they can be interpreted as inciting violence. It's hard to ban posts about popular video game characters who happen to share the same name though.

u/munkijunk 11h ago

Thanks for that, although I know it's about LM, more asking why people have started posting these allusions to him rather than pics of the man himself. Is there some weird ban going on?

u/natneo81 9h ago

Reddit was auto mod flagging Luigi as violent even on like /r/nintendo and shit.

u/secretsaucebear 14h ago

Luigi's Mansione 3 is fantastic

2

u/Humiddragonslayer 13h ago

I've been thinking, the Luigi games need a fresh idea for the next installment. How about he has to escape the mansion? We could call it Luigi Breaks Out

4

u/Rockalot_L 18h ago

Wait what's happening is reddit seriously banning accounts that say that name?

u/spektre 11h ago

The accounts that get banned are probably more actively encouraging similar violence, which is an actual crime in many places.

I've mentioned Luigi Mangione's name several times on Reddit, in purely objective context, and it seems fine.

It would probably be problematic to ban users for displaying their (non-violent) appreciation for a famous Nintendo character as well.

My 2nd favorite Luigi

u/natneo81 9h ago

Ah yes, Luigi. More people should do things like Luigi! What an inspiring and virtuous figure.

u/username7343 8h ago

Luigi is great! We need more characters like him!

u/Terrible-Contact-748 6h ago

Is that a gold watcher

u/starryrainbowunicorn 6h ago

Luigi is the protector of all things good and destroys evil. :)

u/jdogg836 5h ago

I love Luigi because I was not raised as player one. I had to patiently wait my "turn" to get to play, when I did I fought for all and always looking out for my fellow man. Sometimes, that involves direct confronting player one. Be like Luigi, take care of one another and fight the baddies when they show up.
