I dont mean to be gay and retarded but I stopped usimg reddit a couple months ago and my mental health/mood improved an outrageous amount. I would go on that website and immediately see 5 ragebait posts in the first 25 posts and then id obsessively scroll and just get blasted with even more retarded shit. Idk wtf is wrong with that place.

Spoiler

Now I browse a forum about documenting lolcows where everyone says nigger and faggot instead!

Being banned and lurking is the best way to consoom reddit. You won't be able to post and then have your lizard brain giving you early crow's feet arguing, you can only see what the idiots post. Look, no touch. That forces you to curate a feed that is basically only positive. You have no ability engage and have no drive to do so. You will get bored staring at articles and reading pointless arguments. Suddenly the hot new debate is... well who cares? I just like seeing cats and niche communities about board games or whatever.

There's a trend on Reddit I find very frustrating where Redditors while simultaneously complain that things are bad now (a lot of times justifiably) but also get incredibly offended at the suggestion that things might have been better in the past. I guess because that would validate patriarchy or something.

It's almost like hundreds of centuries of doing something (IE hating on gays and niggers) had something there. Why are we the ones who "get it right".

Redditors are incapable of nuance. Suggesting that one specific thing used to be better pre-1970 or so is the same as saying you want to be the slave-owning master of an 1830s American plantation, in their eyes. It's a curse of a specific brand of Progressivism, where change is conflated with progress uncritically.

Things are only bad now because we haven't gotten to the destination yet of full luxury gay space communism.

Its a barely rising line graph past to present, good to bad, getting better but nothing good about the past except using some of its recognizable media and totems for hipster fashion, progtard countersignalling and agitprop against the chuds.

Probably a troll (does any American know the abbrevation 'Jo'berg' AND doesn't know about the absolute state of the city and it country it is in), but the comments are fun.

What is the point of posting blatantally obvious troll posts here? What am I supposed to say to this?

You know, I hate child molestors. I think most people do. But I try to stay away from the Chris Hansen communities, something about everyone being united against the easiest targets on Earth just feels so...performative.

This is something I notice so often on Reddit, people being super over the top and performative about how much they hate sex pests at any opportunity. Like they will bring it up whenever possible. Thread about classic rock, someone inevitably has to bring up 60s rockstars banging teenage groupies. Thread about movies, inevitably Weinstein etc and how horrible Hollywood is gets brought up. All the hand-wringing in relationship advice threads anytime there’s an age gap between grown ass adults. The same group of people who want to abolish the police and prisons suddenly going ultra death penalty mode when it comes to even unserious Aziz Ansari bad date article tier sexual misconduct allegations.

Is it cope because the general public sees Redditors themselves as creepy porn-addicted sex pests, or is it “look at how good I am” for dunking on the easiest possible group to condemn?

Being anti-pedo is the easiest position to hold. Having an anti-pedo stance doesn't have any financial, social or personal cost like there is with other issues. It's almost to the point where they (pedos) could be considered the underdogs in any given discussion or situation. Especially if the anti-pedo is hardly any better (or worse) than the pedo they shit on like Daniel Larkin and his alogs.

There are more precautions for giving Lupron for cancer patients. They really try to limit how much of that even someone on chemo gets.

But if you're a troon? You get all the Lupron. Just ignore those black box warnings. Big Pharma is making a (literal) killing pumping these deadly drugs into children. But oh yeah it's totally progressive and liberal and sheeeeit.

I've had Lupron for Endometriosis. I don't really want to say too much, it's kinda tedious to go on about, but I will say that the adjective "crumbly" is not one you ever want to have to use to refer to your teeth.
Thank god I seem to have won the postcode lottery for quick and easy access to an NHS dentist, and haven't had to try to remove my crumbly teeth myself.

Well, they are.

It's weird on the sports subs because redditors have encyclopedic knowledge of every sexual assault accusation made against athletes and coaches. Even pretty obscure shit that was barely reported on. Real the lady doth protest too much vibes.

I don't mind having these sorts of discussions but if someone is constantly having them it's kinda weird. And kind of a red flag IMO.

Don't forget my personal favorite, homemade "to catch a predator" sting operations where the only reason we have to believe the target is a pervert is because the guy making the vid says so.

My policy is that if you start talking about how much you want to violently murder pedophiles completely unprompted, you're hiding something.

I've always sorta wanted to troll post my local sub saying me and some guys are "pred hunters" from %nearby hick town% and we're coming to a cheap motel in the city for a weekend of fun and pred hunting. and "oh our stuff isnt allowed on youtube its way too crazy and fun!" "oh we dont have a girl decoy, just a guy, we get plenty with him trust me!"

Or some of the Mexican cartel torture killings I've watched. "The guy in the vid having his heart cut out while still alive is a pedo"

... nah I think he's just a low ranking rival drug dealer and you're just trying to justify your brutality.

My policy is that if you start talking about how much you want to violently murder pedophiles completely unprompted, you're hiding something.

A common occurrence in the weeb community and as documented by YouTuber rev_says_desu, is when a person expresses anti-lolicon views or go on twitter campaigns to cancel someone for liking lolicon when that same person has a history of liking lolicon or even real stuff like Cuties. Some of these anti-pedos are pedos with a (twisted) conscience and I know I read an article like that once.

...you literally can though. "Disable Inbox Replies". Or have they removed that feature?

I tried it. It wouldnt work. You can manually select a post and ask to stop receiving replies and it still gives you them

I went to reddit because of an nvim question, wanted to see how r/games has been doing since I last looked. It's so fucking gay holy shit.

Jonathan Blow is now a nazi according to reddit. And resetera is not left wing. I wonder how communist you have to be to believe either, but in particular Resetera which is explicitly and famously leftist.

Also the banner is gay lmao

 

[Sicko Hunter]

but in particular Resetera which is explicitly and famously leftist.

If you went and asked the moderators and userbase of Resetera they themselves would tell you it's a leftist forum. It's not something they hide.

In what fucking reality could ResetEra being anything but left? Has that dumbass ever been on the forums or saw a pic of it even once?

Resetera not left wing? That place is a huge leftie hugbox lol. I find it odd that Reddit users are also very insistent that Reddit itself is also not a left wing website but an alt right shit hole. Why are they so insistent on telling this lie? At most on Reddit you have a toothless conservative sub and that's it.

The only conservative sub I've seen is r/conservative.

I miss r/imgoingtohellforthis. Hard to believe that a sub like that ever existed.
