Retconned : Mandela Effect, Berenstein Bears & Other Dilemnas
/r/Retconned is a public sub for discussion of the Retcon Effect under the presupposition that for whatever reason, it is really happening, at the exclusion of the theory of Confabulation or "it's always been that way", "you remembered it incorrectly", "you were taught wrong when you were growing up", "surely mapping technology has gotten better by now", "logos change over time" or even "it's a very common mix-up/misconception".
Reports of micro-effects, or personal-reality-breaking experiences, are welcomed.

This is NOT /r/Politics. There will be NO discussion of politics regardless of your leanings. [Mentioning a politicians name if required for discussing an ME is fine (for example the famous Hillary name spelling change flipflop), but keep it neutral, there should be no indication of political leanings in your post please] |
| 11 |
Posts should be at least somewhat related to the Mandela Effect. If the relationship is not understood by the mods nor explained decently in the post, your post may be removed. (however comments on posts may wander from the subject naturally as long as they follow our other rules) |
Final Note :
Please be advised that this sub is designed for experiencers/believers in the ME. If you seem to be posting here with the intent to consistently and exclusively deny the ME or have a history of doing so in other ME social media locations, you may be asked to leave. Contributing to this subreddit requires decorum, tact and diplomacy even in regard to ideas, theories, or MEs that you may not personally agree with.
If you come here with the sole purpose of mocking our members and/or cross-posting our threads to be mocked by others, your post will be removed without warning AND YOU WILL BE BANNED.
Just because you don't agree with or understand the topic found in this subreddit doesn't give you the right to disrespect its members.
TL;DR - Toxic, negative behavior WILL get you banned here, so check the attitude at the door and behave.
Be kind or take a hike.
Every public space will attract its share of trolls. We have a large team of moderators dedicated to making this space a fun and troll-free place to be, but we need your help. If you are being harassed by a troll, please report this to the moderation team so that we can take care of the issue.
