Don’t have enough energy to edit out the Reddit bits/adapt them for Lemmy
Nice fake story bro.
That’s a well-known meme from the pro-LGBT protests in 2013/2014. Not saying the guy who was arrested is the creator, or that he’s a popular hero, but here’s what the Moscow Times had to say in 2017:
In the end, the court released Tsvetkov from any criminal liability under Article 282 (Russia’s controversial ban on hate speech, which carries a five-year maximum prison sentence), and instead ordered him to receive compulsory psychiatric care.
Maybe not 100% correct (or at least i don’t have a reliable source for that) but really far from a “fake story” since that work is indeed banned and one person sharing it ended up in psychiatric hospital (which is just another form of prison).
So as long as it fits the purpose it doesn’t matter if it’s true or false?
