Pulte has some fun in a GameStop store

On Friday, October 27 2023, Pulte goes in to a GameStop store to do some "damage."

This was posted in at least 2 subreddits, notably theppshow and superstonk.

The interesting part, to me at least, is once again the different kind of reception that content like this receives in various subreddits, not so different than the time that @GameStop tweeted butterflies.

Pulte:

• is a GME shareholder and has repeatedly demonstrated support for GameStop and the GME community.
• supports DRS and has DRS'd at least some of his shares of GME.
• has made it publicly known on more than one occasion that he shares a pair of well-known activist attorneys with Ryan Cohen
• is one of the few individuals that RC repeatedly Likes on X/Twitter.
• is in a GameStop store, for whatever reason, and makes this hype video.

Superstonk mods didn't like this. The post was removed from Superstonk for violation of Rule 2, that posts in that subreddit must be relevant to GME.

"Posts should further contribute to the shareholders' discussion around GME. We appreciate Pulte likes the stock, but so do so many other wonderful stockholders. Let's not narrow our circle of celebration by focusing on just one person 🙏"

Superstonk mods clearly demonstrate that their definition of "relevant to GME" is ambiguous and always shifting. "Relevant to GME" is whatever they want at any particular moment.

The community clearly felt it was worth posting and discussing. How was this not related to GME? Why not just leave the post up? What was the actual problem that mods had with this post? Why would they go out of their way to make sure a post like this gets removed?

I believe that the reason that Pulte in a GameStop store was something that was celebrated in the pp show subreddit and community is the very reason that superstonk mods removed it from their subreddit.

At some point along the line, among competing narratives, superstonk mods decided that they don't like the pp show community, and since Pulte has been giving that community a bunch of attention, he is guilty by association.

I think that this observation is worth consideration.

Look even at the comments in that superstonk thread. Look at all of the hostility and vitriol towards Pulte, a GME shareholder and supporter. The comments kind of give the narrative away, they reveal the narrative that is being pushed, and that narrative is clearly that Pulte is bad because it is already a foregone conclusion that the pp show community is nothing but grifters without any merit.

Superstonk mods are in harmony with this narrative, and they duly removed this GameStop-related Pulte post.

"Let's not narrow our circle of celebration by focusing on just one person" actually means: "Stop focusing on Pulte, because we the almighty mods have decided that we do not like him here."

To me the funny part is that Pulte never even held any shares of BBBY/BBBYQ, yet does holds GME and supports GameStop and makes it clear that he is a big fan of Ryan Cohen, and yet you've got people trying very hard to push that narrative that Pulte is somehow complicit in perpetrating a grift.

I know that everyone here already knows about this kind of nonsense that happens from the superstonk mods and that another post like this isn't really required to prove that point. I for one am kind of sick of even talking about it at all. But I believe it is important, for the purpose of having an accurate historical record, to keep tabs on these obvious demonstrations of bias and censorship, so that as narratives continue to evolve, we can look back at these receipts and see clearly the various ways in which worthwhile information was censored and contained by a group of unaccountable mods that didn't want the community to know about it.
