That makes sense, I didn't even think about that aspect of it. Obviously users seeing posts of (Sexy Captain) John Oliver will know that those users are protesting, but seeing pirate-speak comments in non-protesting posts would also cause users to be reminded of the protest (if pirate-speak caught on large-scale and was associated with the protest).
I was thinking more small-scale individual-level and not the large-scale that (Sexy Captain) John Oliver posts have become. It would be nice if it caught on to a large scale like you suggest. My biggest gripe with these protest discussions being on Reddit is that Reddit is still benefiting from that activity and this would be my way of mitigating that.
Honestly, anything to fuck with Reddit is a W in my book.
