CWC making comics is probably doing 'work' that these wastes of flesh despise.

It's not like he actually does that very often, though. He's gone 16 days without uploading a single page. They might have respect for his ethic, if not his ostensible intentions.
 
I might need to make a thread on /r/antiwork, which includes just.. Excellent screeds of insanity.
Lol, one dude on there got this note from his parents for randomly quitting his job:

This just kind of feels like you're modding too hard. This sub averages 1-3 new posts per day, and approximately 20 comments per day. Yet the entire subreddit is closing because it's too hard to mod?

Also, how does it take a full month to train someone to be a mod? That seems like overkill.

Am I overthinking this?
as someone who mods a few subreddits its not that fucking hard, most of the time its just watching mod mail, approving posts and reading reports, the community moderates themselves. It is very likely these mods are possibly a big group who moderate more than just one sub and are just clipping down the work load. It's completely bonkers as a previous mod here to even begin to understand their reasoning, mod experience is done on the job, give them small jobs first THEN get shuffle them up to higher branches and broader roles.
 
Here is a hilariously pathetic subreddit I found r/CircumcisionGrief:
Here is the pinned post comparing being circumcised to losing a loved one:
Just something someone told me.

Advice
A while ago I ended up on the phone with a cut guy from an intactivist charity, really nice friendly lad. Wanted to share something he said to me, probably not that helpful, but why not.
I told him I feared this would bother me my entire life. He replied saying it probably will, but that's why you find your coping mechanism. He compared the grief to the death of loved one. You will always miss them. You can't do anything about it, you can't change what happened, but you find a way to live with it.
Before I found out, I never expected I would discover that something so unethical and horrible was done to me, and was allowed to happen. It's surreal. It's still hard to believe that this actually happened; and that this cruel reality is my life now.
I knew that life was unfair, but I never expected it to be this unfair. It can be hard to be grateful for anything good in your life when your genitals were mutilated for no reason. I think we all wish things could have been different. I hope you guys are doing the best you can.

Of course this is too much for some commentators who think being circumcised is actually worse then losing a loved one:

I’ve thought about this too. But the problem I can’t get over is that death is a natural part of life, circumcision isn’t (shouldn’t be at least).
Literally every human ever will/has gone through a death. There’s so much support from everyone when it happens, because everyone knows it’s a hard time. But it’s still natural.
People like us have to confide in subreddits like, because no one seems to give a fuck about us. Like we’ve been chewed up, spat out and forgotten. Or even worse won’t even acknowledge we’ve been hurt.
That’s what makes it so hard.

You are so right about how it feels bad because others don't care about and recognize our pain. It would be a little bit better if we can get support from our friends or relatives. When I open this subject to my male friends even they underestimate and laugh at me because "how I am obsessed with this little procedure".

The other post on this sub are equally pathetic like one user taking revenge on the medical establishment by refusing to donate organs because someone dying is nothing compared to masturbation feeling less good:
Im not an organ donor anymore.

If they take my organs without my consent when im born thereby robbing me of a lifetime of pleasure and sexual fulfilment then they sacrifice any organs later

A really depressing part of being circumcised is that I don't feel much obligation for society at all. I feel like so much was taken away from me, such an essential part of being human, that I feel no real desire to contribute much to this world that has wronged me. I wish I didn't feel like this and I felt more engaged with the world, but it's just impossible for me. I don't feel like I owe the world much of anything anymore.

There also is a lot of projection too mostly centering on circumcised men viewing their negative personality traits as being caused by their circumcision:
Circumcised men common personality traits
renderTimingPixel.png

There appears to be this particular personality trait among genitally mutilated men that constantly appears over and over. When I was talking to this same guy who I previously wrote about in this forum. Its hard for me to describe what it is that I see. It’s just this very similar negative body language that I have noticed among genitally mutilated men. There is this inferiority mentality that I have noticed. They put others down as a defense mechanism for dealing with their missing erogenous tissue. This only happens when something about the penis comes up. When they hear another guy experience something sexually that they don’t have the ability to experience, they put the guy or group of guys down by calling them eccentric or very formal, or nobody wants your dirty dick, etc. What’s also interesting is that some might subconsciously be doing this while others are consciously doing it while others are in denial. When any other topic comes up, they become completely normal. I have also noticed this relaxed demeanor of uncut men. Also it appears that after an uncut guy has an orgasm, he will still be interested in you sexually, while a cut guy is completely done sexually. It would be great to hear what others think?
Again this is not a generalization, it’s just something I noticed.

I completely agree and I feel like this is something that should get more attention. I'm cut myself and I feel like cut and intact men seem to have pretty different demeanors generally. Cut men often seem more neurotic, insecure, with fragile egos and seem to be frustrated a lot and like they always have to prove something. Intact men moreso seem to have this quiet confidence where they feel they don't have to prove much and they generally seem to walk around with a more assured and satisfied demeanor. More agreeable.
It makes me envious. Maybe it's just all in my head but it just seems like intact men have a lighter spirit.

I'm uncut and actually I have a very neurotic, insecure, and desire to prove something. Many of the points that the original poster apply to me. My ex BF, who was a cop, has the personality that some people would assume he is uncut. He is very tightly cut. Personalities are more genetic than because of a surgical procedure.

This is just one example. There are always exceptions to the rule. Did anything negative happen in your life that may have caused that like child abuse or sexual abuse?

One user even thinks about killing himself over no peepee skin

I can't frikin decide if I should commit suicide
renderTimingPixel.png


Grief
Reasons not to commit suicide:
  • still enjoy chemistry
  • enjoy math
  • like eating food
  • having cool dreams
  • looking at cute humans (though I'm too damaged to be in love)
  • family would be devastated and my father already lost my mother in may 2019 (should've researched circumcision if they really cared about me that much...)
  • there is potential for much happiness if I can restore
Reasons to commit suicide:
  • I worry that sexual pleasure trumps all other pleasures
  • cant stand existing in society that cheated me and doesnt want males to be happy
  • living might only be worth it if I can feel love and sexual pleasure
  • I'm not sure foreskin restoration is working (2 months Andre's method and I dont see obvious change)
  • i will be old and ugly by the time foregen comes out
  • cant have a good jack off at the end of a hard day
  • I suspect circumcision is what made me autistic
  • I am always psychologically suffering with not much euphoria without drugs. I crave drugs
On my first point I dont know. On one hand, many mathematicians and scientists and geniuses also had active sex lives (einstein, feynman, mozart), and almost all professors have SOs and sex lives. But there are also many that were asexual and died virgins (newton, tesla, both were intact)

I dont know which is worse. Being 100% sure that you want to stop living, or being unable to decide because there are still some minor pleasure you dont wanna leave, though will always be very sad you cant get the best plessure. It's so hard to decide because everything else in life is going well, except for this one damn thing. If I had nothing and no hope, suicide would be a no brainer. I just should've had sexual pleasure on top of all the smaller pleasures.

renderTimingPixel.png

Ok I'm very depressed because im circumcised. I look at subreddits like r/femboys and see very cute males who delight in the joy of being a cute happy human with cute silky penis. Yaoi and futanari always show uncircumcised penises. With thousands of nerve endings undeniably removed, I dont think there is any point in living. I worry that sexual pleasure is the best part of being a human, and nothing will ever compare. Even mathematicians who say math is beautiful often have active sex lives. Einstein had a lot of sex. And I cant have that. I cant have sexual joy or joy of delighting in cuteness of natural human body. With a destroyed body I am too broken to feel love or have friends. Not even a good fap after a stressful day. I also cant bear existing in a very cruel society that will unapologetically systemically circumcise all infant males. I think about suicide, but my family would be devastated if I commit suicide. I want to have a rational family discussion where we make a rational decision on if life is worth living. I'd like to see them come up with a rational reason I should exist when I have been robbed of best pleasure besides heroin. But I already know what they will say. "ALL THE MEN IN THE FAMILY ARE CIRCUMCISED DO U SEE THEM COMPLAINING??? MILLIONS OF MEN ARE CITCMCISED DO U SEE TJEM ALL KILLING THEMSELVES?? IM CIRCUMCIAED AND SEX IS GREAT!"
The Man says all good little boys ought to be circumcised, or else they will be addicted to masturbation and wont be hard workers. Circumcised males are in a perpetual state of dissatisfaction, driving them to work hard for the state and be patriotic in the armies. Circumcised males are aggressive,aloof, violent, hard working , career oriented, insecure about their masculinity, conservative, and neurotic. Then The Man convinces them that life is worth living for the noble
purpose of patriotism and masculinity and God, so they remain hard workers instead of realizing they wre fucked over and committing suicide. Only the enlightened can realize they were fucked over. Most remain in ignorance and sexual dissatisfaction their whole lives. By reducing sexual pleasure, men are forced to get pleasure from materialism. They need a very hot wife to get off, so they work hard to get rich and attract a hot wife. Jews made circumcision to ensure their sons and slaves will work hard and be violent in the wars.

If anyone finds out about this, they will force me into the mental hospital and expect me to be happy with being mutilated. Nothing can ever fix me, no amount of help, no medication except a strong antipsychotic that makes you not care about anything. I was hoping I could feel pleasure in my existence as a human, but that was sabotaged from day one. Maybe I will come back in another form after death, in a reality where beings are allowed to feel joy.

Psychiatrists cant do anything. They cant give me an alternative source of pleasure that would compare to masturbation with a foreskin. Nothing woikd be better than a good fap at the end of a hard day. And having a whole body so I can feel love. I'm really in hell with no escape except suicide. I didnt get chance to rejoice in being a cute human, shame. If I come back as something else, I could perceive my own species as cute too.

Those are people who were circumcised in adulthood which is always going to be harder and more damaging because your genitalia is fully developed and mature

by then. For infants it’s a little different and your nerve endings have more time to heal.
That being said I’m 100% in agreement that infant circumcision is wrong and barbaric. There’s a reason why I chose not to do that to my own son. But I’m circumcised and I have a normal sex life and I’ve always enjoyed sex as much as anyone else. Maybe sex would be 5 times better if I was never circumcised, maybe it wouldn’t, I honestly don’t know and it’s not worth obsessing over because there’s not anything I can do about it. And I certainly would never contemplate suicide over it, that’s absurd and OP seems to have issues which extend well beyond circumcision (either that or he’s a troll).

No, that’s not true. Infants are WAY WAY more likely to be harmed and disabled than a full grown adult. You think operating on an undeveloped organ on a patient that can not communicate symptoms where a millimeter can ruin the child’s entire romantic future for the rest of their lives on an organ that is smaller than the fingers holding the knife.
No, fuck you. I attempted suicide over this at one point. It’s serious, and that’s definitely no reason to think he’s a troll. Don’t you dare scapegoat circumcision issues!
“More time to heal” - what absolute bullshit.

I've seen these guys around Reddit on the subs I follow whenever the subject of circumcision comes up. They're so... bizarre and pathetic and weird. They have such a massive victim complex surrounding being circumcised that it's taken over their entire lives, to the point that they think of suicide. It's really absurd, sometimes I wonder if they aren't some kind of plant to try to influence society to focus on ending male circumcision so people will stop paying attention to female genital mutilation.

(Potentially necessary disclaimer: I don't agree with infant circumcision. I just don't think it's the end of the freaking world, especially for adult men who literally never had a problem until their internet MRA echo chamber told them they should.)

Reddit has always been exceptionally left leaning from day 1, when it was silicon valley folks. Every single wave of people to Reddit since outside of the people from /r/the_donald, has been left leaning. From Diggfugees, to the 4chan posters wanting more content, to the tech interested normies, it's mostly been people of the left persuasion.

Reddit is very left wing. You can tell if you look at all of the Communism apology among its users. From what I've seen, most of the right-leaning people on Reddit are really confined to certain subs like /r/Conservative or /r/The_Donald. Other subreddits like /r/AgainstHateSubreddits and /r/TopMindsOfReddit (i.e. Reddit admin attack dogs) continually harass right-leaning subs and try to get them banned.

It's right wing if you compare it to RetardEra maybe.
 
It's not even limited to the political subreddits. R/games has turned into a heavily moderated news page for only a select few leftist websites or headlines that appeal to those opinions.

The only large-ish general gaming subreddit that isn't pozzed seems to be r/pcgaming considering how pissy r/games seems to get when two headlines exist in both areas and users get a glimpse into opinions that aren't banned when they compare the two comment sections.

Obligatory this didnt happen today, but yesterday.
I lifeguard at a local indoor pool. Theres about 6 lifeguards including me, and 5 of them are guys. Theres 1 female and she is like smoking hot. Any 18 year olds fantasy. Shes like 23.
Yesterday, it was just me and her at work, and she asked if I was doing anything later. I told her I was probably just gonna play video games or something and she asked me if I want to go to the arcade with her. I said yes, under the assumption we would go as friends. Would I want to go on a date with her? Absolutely. But I knew im way out of her league and didnt want to embarras myself. Regardless, the plan is set. After work I would meet her at her apartment and we would to go the Arcade in our local mall.
I go home and shower, change clothes, get ready etc. I drive over to her apartment and text her, she tells me her door is unlocked and to come in. I walk in, and shes in her bathroom doing her hair in her bra and underwear. I kinda back out the door, but she tells me to come back in, and that I always see her in a two piece swimsuit. Touche.
She's getting ready and were just talking about work and she lays on her bed and says "My neck is killing me.. I need a massage!" I kind of laugh, and then she asks me If "I give good massages", while giving me this look. Heres where the fuckup occurs:
My dumbass says "I think theres a massage kiosk at the mall where the arcade is!"
10 seconds later I realised what I just did.
She sighed and finished getting ready silently and we went to the arcade.
She was practically silent the whole night. The next day at work (Today), she didnt mention anything of it. I still cant believe I cockblocked myself.
Edit: I have a date! https://imgur.com/a/1FNzBQI
Update: Staying the night at her place. Tonight was incredible. Words cannot describe how much fun I had.

Here's the totally real text conversation:
