Ok, so it looks like stormfront is a website that promotes white pride. It sounds like there might have been a subreddit at some point based on that stormfront image.

And /r/196 is a leftist meme posting subreddit that is trans friendly.

I'm using non-reddit links because I don't want to direct traffic to reddit.

Can you help me find a source that shows, stormfront, a white pride website, influenced the 196 rule please? This seems like an important point to learn more about. I've been googling, but I haven't found any connection yet.

196 was creepy and chaser-y about trans folks?

Also the reddit-logo emoji is just making fun of how openly or (poorly) covertly white supremacist reddit is in general.

196 kind of was chasery at first but got less chasery as time passed
