Maybe a bit overly-specific, but I am fascinated by the users of this sub:

r/gachagaming

r/gachagaming: For fans and players of all sorts of gacha games. All players welcome, all games welcome. Be excellent and respectful to each other.

www.reddit.com

A subreddit dedicated to people who willingly buy into a notoriously exploitative and financially costly form of Asian free2play mobile gaming. It's hard to find good content by sorting using popularity, as the contrarian/negative posts get mass-downvoted. The entire community exists to enable strange weeb gambling addiction. Like r/MMORPG, it shares a sense of doom and fear around 'dying' games. The fear on GG is magnified because the users invest a lot of money into the games to feel superior to other players, so I can only imagine how miserable it must feel to watch their world of peasants around them dwindle into ever lowering quantities. The flip-side to this is that the more popular games cost immense amounts to compete with other whales. Users often explain this retrospectively as "regrets" and "partial-regrets" during the regular 'how much do you spend' threads. This inability to compete with established whales in long-running games drives users to constantly seek new games, regardless of quality, and constantly rotate through disappointment after disappointment.

Some highlights:

A guy asking for which games are the most pay-to-win, so that they force him to spend money (he's asking so he can play it, not avoid it)

A guy complains that "Whaling is not rewarded; everyone is on a relatively even playing field"

The type of thread that has posts open with "Speaking as somebody who has probably spent 50-100k on mobile games..."

Where a user mistakenly believes the subreddit isn't friendly to free players

A severely autistic post where a guy analysis local 'flavours' of gacha

A lot of posts like using the word "addiction" to describe the ideal game they seek

Countless "how much did you spend" threads

So, gaming findom?

What do you get when you cross "drawings are pedophilia" with militant Reddit Discord tranny ops?

Don't trannies a lot of the time uses loli characters as avatars so they can larp as cute girls? Isn't this just a shot across the bow? Why is everything that comes out of reddit so meaningless and autistic?

Answer:God has forsaken us and we are left here to rot in this hell of our own making.

You're right, what I meant to say was 'Reddit Discord groomer ops', because every single time this happens, it's because of some actual pedophile virtue signaling about how cartoons are evil.

EDIT: Snorlax content already posted here, this post is mainly about the SubredditDrama flinging their shit over it:

https://kiwifarms.st/threads/r-polyamory.35875/post-5635845

Ctrl + F "insecurit"

Holy crap. Look at all that armchair psychonalysis. "Everyone who disagrees with me is insecure!"

I feel a bit conflicted on this one since while the plebbitors are about as pathetic as usual the kind of people who go around screaming "cuck" at people are also utterly pathetic and deserving of mockery. A lot of them probably are incels as well, though not all of them.

Half of the posts you make sound like an SJW trying to lob criticisms at anti-SJW's by pretending to be an SJW basher. You remind me of this pic:

I hate reddit way more then I should honestly. I pretty much use it as a pcgaming news outlet so I know what coming out or if there are any major updates coming.

Outside of that most subreddits are worthless once you get to reading comment because it's either some trying to be hard to be funny,a repeated joke,a derailment because someone sentence was a line in a famous song, or something else dumb. I think reddit doesn't lend it self to having a productive discussion and function like a place to post your thoughts. I guess I have always preferred forums as a go to online community.

The popular subs are rife with the repetitive jokes and general autism being upvoted just for making a pop culture reference... some of the obscure subs are good, but once some of them start becoming popular they just become flooded with unfunny autism and the cycle continues.

www.reddit.com

A subreddit dedicated to people who willingly buy into a notoriously exploitative and financially costly form of Asian free2play mobile gaming. The purpose is to allow them to buy power (a concept despised by regular gamers) in order to feel better than other players in games that have no skill component, only grinding. It's hard to find good content by sorting using popularity, as the contrarian/negative posts get mass-downvoted. The entire community exists to enable strange weeb gambling addiction.

I can't imagine spending money on something that isn't even tangible, especially not so much money. And then to be proud of making such idiotic financial decisions. How can anybody be like this and not realize how much they've fucked up?

 

[Man vs persistent rat]

It reminds me of people who gamble at casinos regularly, knowing they will lose a controllable amount, and enjoy it for the "experience". I think it's different from addiction, as for addicts the experience is entirely the risk rather than the accoutrements, it's just super retarded priorities and maybe a lack of personality/broad interests.

Does anyone feel like doing the legwork summarizing the best of this subreddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/loveafterporn/ ?

It is basically populated entirely by some of the most remarkable uberborderlines on the planet.

If the rest of reddit is too far-left, check out /r/DebateAltRight/. It's a clusterfuck of white supremacy and paranoia.

 

[ProgKing of the North]

Reddit's kind of a microcosm of the mainstream/normie internet as a whole (excluding social media) in that there's obviously a whole variety of people on the left from straight up commies all the way to center-left, and a whole bunch of just centrists in general, and then you have the far right, but center-to-moderate right seems to be really underrepresented.

In a way it's understandable, they're far enough right that to most of the left they're Nazis, but are disgusted by the actual Nazis, so they have nowhere else to go, but still. There's center-left places that don't go full commie, you'd think there could be center-right spaces that don't immediately resort to sperging about da joos every third comment.

Subreddits that make fun of Reddit culture are funny at first until you realize they all say the same shit and both sides are autistic as fuck

 

[FuckedUp]

Didn't find anything about it from a quick thread search, so...

r/dankmemes died sometime in like early 2018 due to Reddit ToS updates. Sure, the subreddit called "dankmemes" is one of the most popular on the site nowadays, but the foundations of it are completely different.

I remember in like Summer 2017 for instance, many EU refugee and terrorist attack memes (such as a Picardia one along the lines of "when you miss the opportunity to make memes of the latest European terrorist attack but that's OK because you can just wait until the one next month"), people making jokes about Chester Bennington's suicide the day after it happened, a template literally about school shootings, and other fun stuff. Nowadays all that shit's highly bannable offenses.

And back then there really was no actual format you had to follow, you could just upload whatever you thought was funny even if it didn't remotely follow any template. Nowadays any meme on the sub (as well as anywhere on the internet) has to be the latest 2-week template that's either impact 2.0 "when [x]" top text above the image, or labeling one or two designated objects in it.

I'm pretty sure these changes are one of the top reasons we've suddenly stopped seeing any sort of edgy meme on the mainstream internet.

I hate when I make a sarcastic shitposty joke and then I get downvoted to oblivion, and when I respond to someone and say it’s just a joke they just say some stupid smug bullshit and I fucking hate this stupid fucking planet we live on fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

It's especially fun when you get the notification and can tell, in a vacuum, that they feel so smug expecting backup and updoots and silvers, but then they realize that nobody is gonna see their comment 3 days after the original post got them upvotes.

It's the largest gathering of people thinking they have friends when in reality anyone would rob them blind.

That's why Redditors always have to end their joke posts with /sneed, because so many people on there are too dumb to realize when someone's being sarcastic.

Decided to see what they had to say about TN having to pay Jared Taylor's group $46K. Came across this, I see they still run from arguments. I'm surprised he didn't call him a Nazi chud.

Having a /sneed defeats the point of shitposting but leave it up to reddit to ruin a joke
