Despite reddit admin's current opression and censorship on loli content, Holofan4life rose up and was unjustly permanently banned. Loved by all, his ban has brought much distraught to the community. He has indeed become a true martyr.

A martyr is a person who dies fighting for what they believe in. A martyr can either kill themselves or be killed.
In the 19th Century, a woman in England named Emily Davison (A member of the suffragette party) becamame a matryr after killing herself by jumping infront of horses at the "Epson Derby".
Martyrs gain a lot of sympathy by the public for preforming such an act which is one of the main contributing factors as to why they do it in the first place.

Most of these definitions are wrong or half right, there are two types of Martyrs:
1.) One who puts themselves in harms way so that someone else doesn't have to. One who would die fighting for a cause.
2.) An attention whore who puts themselves in harms way and/or complains about it expecting others to feel thankful or sorry for them. For Glory.

1.) Although Rambo is a fictional character, he is the ultimate example of a Martyr.
2.) SPARTANS! PREPARE FOR GLORY!!!
(HOOA HOOA HOOA HOOA HOOA!!!)
Although the Spartans wanted glory, they did what they did anyway glory or no glory, they aren't really attention whores.
