"darker media like omori"

Isn't omori literally just a game about a neet shut-in who doesn't leave his house or talk to his friends anymore because he saw his sister fall down the stairs and die? How is it remotely like Punpun?

And then after he saw his sister fall down the stairs and die him and his one dipshit friend drag her to a tree out back and stage her body to make it look like a suicide by hanging. It's honestly a really retarded plot.

No idea what Pun-Pun is or how it could be related though.

It's a coming of age story about a teenage boy going through life up until his 20s in Japan, who is represented as this little bird creature who morphs to be more human as the story goes on.

It's also incredibly dark and involves a lot of abuse + some pretty fucked up deaths, along with the main character hallucinating a giant realistic head that he thinks is God, but is actually his own intrusive thoughts. It mostly just tells him to kill people and rape women.

Going from Omori to Punpun is like sticking a finger up your ass then thinking you're ready to go to a BDSM club.

I just want to say that when we were growing up we had free access to LiveLeak and BestGore, even Newgrounds was full of gore and school shooting games. I'd say this is pretty fucking tame in comparison.

Psychological implications of you watching snuff films as a child aside, random shock value with zero emotional investment and an actual story that involves fucked up things aren't the same thing.

Yeah that sounds like the typical nip life experience to me.
 
Redditors always respond with genuine bewilderment when you "necropost" and respond to a years old thread. Hey motherfucker, if it's still active, I'm gonna weigh in. You'd be surprised how many old threads are still relevant.

A lot of this sort of thing is botted. For instance, that nervous_pineapple guy who posted the highlighted ICE agents post in your screen shot has a 4 month old account.

A lot of these small, unimportant subs are kinda good bellweathers for this sort of thing.

You see it basically anytime it's logical for someone to be paying for political spam, though, and we're in the ramp-up to mid terms.

A subreddit called r/complaints. You might expect complaints about a poor workplace, or problems with the website, or complaints about society at large. Something normal and common.

But every single fucking post is this rabid, unhinged TDS shitflinging.

I was looking at this subreddit the other day through Archive.org. Early this year it was basically a dead sub: https://web.archive.org/web/20250118170803/https://old.reddit.com/r/complaints/

In May it started become more active and it was people complaining about various things:
https://web.archive.org/web/20250508033743/https://old.reddit.com/r/complaints/

In early June it was still like this: https://web.archive.org/web/20250606092351/https://old.reddit.com/r/complaints/

But somewhere then and late July it had been shitted up TDS posts: https://web.archive.org/web/20250721153351/https://old.reddit.com/r/complaints/

There's a couple of obvious shit posts in there, but basically just the same as it is today: non-stop TDS
1765689277808.png

And if you look at the top 25 posts from the past month it's mostly a small number of botted accounts: https://archive.is/FCRJa
Kinks4Kelly - 8 posts
Only_Theory_3251 - 4 posts
Old_Swimmer_7284 - 2 posts

Those three accounts are responsible for over half top 25 posts from past month. If you look at top past months posts for r/videos it's much the same.

It's pretty insane that Reddit hasn't clamped down on this shit. It's just driving real users away from the site and advertises are going to be even less inclined to pay for ads on Reddit knowing they don't take botting seriously. Maybe Reddit think they're too big to fail. That could be the case since they've weathered several waves of censorship controversy, the firing of Victoria, 3rd party apps, etc. I suspect what's going to kill Reddit is they're not at all serious about being a profitable business.

There has got to be a video where someone investigates the TDS-ridden subreddits where they figure out 95% of its users are bots. 98% if I'm being generous.

I'd watch that video.

I don't think they're capable. For more than basic things, reddit seems to rely on subreddit moderation and the userbase to forward issues to admins. Reddit mods, in turn, are really really dumb on one hand, and would likely agree with most of the TDS points being made by the bots on the other, and so not even realize that their sub is being botted.
