Imo, this is proof of how scared the corpos are of letting him become a figurehead of the fight against them. I love it.
Exactly. This is a sign of how terrified they are of Luigi. Say his name!!! LUIGI!
Nobody is asking the parasite’s opinion on this topic.
Luigi is an American hero and the corpo is the enemy of the American people.
You have to be a brain dead NPC not to see these self evident facts.
Well bye bye Reddit. It was nice to know ya.
This is absolutely crazy. Luigi is not uncommon italian first name, as well as obviously a game name and a pizza brand. Reddit is rediculous.
That’s weird because Luigi didn’t kill anyone. He’s innocent.
If I wanted to promote violence, I’d praise the still unidentified murderer of Brian Thompson.
Yea the whole thing smells like a stitch-up. Cops couldn’t afford to look incompetent or let their massive manhunt drag on too long, so they did their usual thing and picked a vaguely plausible target and build a narrative to pin it on them.
Sacco and Vanzetti of the modern day.
Well done
i KNOW he is innocent as he was with me and we definitely weren’t murdering anyone. whistles
Exactly!! FREE LUIGI!! LUIGI MANGIONE WAS SET UP!!
Oh you mean Mario’s brother‽
SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS
Luigi is a hero
I’m here because Reddit has turned to shit. They post a rule about upvoting violence will get you banned, so upvoting a comment that says FREE LUIGI will get you banned but upvoting a video of someone getting stabbed to death or a human being turned into red paste will just be another day at the office. Let’s be real here, they only want to silence specific people without saying out loud who they want to silence.
I just migrated from Reddit today because a post showed a compilation of things that were removed or banned because of “violence”. It included a story about peaceful protestors at a anti Tesla rally were being arrested, a protest for women’s rights outside of blizzard, a post saying trump is trying to start war with Greenland…
They are using it as an excuse to make Reddit fascist, take down any anti-government-backed bullshit.
So you’re saying a site with a history of posting videos of women getting hit “deservedly” is being disingenuous when violence is directed at the powerful? Say it ain’t so.
Who’s that Luigi Mangione?
Have you heard about my best pal Louis Bigeater?
Ludovicus Manducus
lmao this is gold.
Could I bother you for an explanation? I tried searching, there are a lot of results for the Atellan Farce/Oscan athletic games, but I feel I’m still missing context to get the reference.
Luigi comes from the Latin name Lodovicus
Mangione is Italian for “big eater” or a glutton. Manducus is Latin for glutton. Both are derived from mando, to chew.
❤️ Thank you!!
Nerd 😁
Just stop using reddit to talk about chads like Luigi.
Just stop using reddit
That too pretty much. Other than some niche topics I don’t use it anymore. Hopefully as lemmy grows those will have better options here too.
I did this and then they changed their algorithm to put things I’m interested in below every poat and they pulled me back in :(
Fuck Spez.
Wait, that’s Spez? He looks like every rich boy who’s dad got him everyone he wanted and he never heard “no”. Chad or Trent or similar.
And, stopped letting you play with his toys when you said or did something he didn’t like
He totally looks like he turns the console off when he’s losing. And not only as a kid.
After already having the advantage with the better controller
Playing against people’s little brothers
And only he’s allowed to pick the best character/team. His opponent is only allowed to use the worst character/team.
Spez wants to fuck kids
Spez is scared he’ll be next
I found an article here for anyone else looking for a source that’s not just a clickbait image.
This kind of thing has been a long time coming, it’s why I started looking into decentralized social media in the first place. It actually feels less dangerous today than it did before the plague of GPT bots that make everyone wary of whether they’re reading something written by a human or not.
I left facebook for diaspora in the early 2010s because I felt like an algorithm could influence my opinions too easily. If I see a bunch of my friends voicing one opinion, but all of my friends who voice the opposite opinion don’t make it onto my feed, that will influence my own opinions regardless of how mindful I try to be about that. I was kind of addicted and it took strength to delete my account.
I started looking for reddit alternatives a couple years later for similar reasons. I’m really glad lemmy has finally taken off but things had to get a lot worse for that to happen.
Thanks for the article link. The additional drama around the “popculture” sub subreddit just adds to the absurdity of the situation.
Look just because I’m in the middle of a LM/Waluigi slashfic doesn’t necessarily mean I’m inciting violence. There’s violence in it (Wario is an insurance exec, Luigi gets a power star, runs over Wario who explodes into coins) but I can hardly call that inciting violence. Where could someone get a power star in this day and age.

I fucking know. I remember the 90s; they were hard to AVOID, if anyone ever tried. fucking ‘silent spring’ shit. link to your fic please btw.
But what about Green Mario, who allegedly unalived a healthlord in Minecraft?
The next names to be banned are Washington and Grant. Both used violence.
Best not touch Sherman.
“I confess, without shame, that I am sick and tired of fighting — its glory is all moonshine; even success the most brilliant is over dead and mangled bodies, with the anguish and lamentations of distant families, appealing to me for sons, husbands, and fathers […] it is only those who have never heard a shot, never heard the shriek and groans of the wounded and lacerated […] that cry aloud for more blood, more vengeance, more desolation. […] I declare before God, as a man and a soldier, I will not strike a foe who stands unarmed and submissive before me, but would rather say—‘Go, and sin no more.’” - some guy before lighting Atlanta on fire
Or Brown
Really, are they truly bad if their face isn’t yet on Rushmore?
Let’s dox and fuck them up! Insight thanks for the head up Reddi
Luigi is becoming more powerful as a folk hero figure by the minute.
