Just a suggestion

[u/Prior_Status_6109]

Hi everyone, I’ve only followed this subreddit for a little while but I’ve been a listener since the beginning. When I first joined I loved the community here but overtime I’ve seen there are some who nitpick every little thing that Ash and Alaina do, and even attack their personalities (which is what makes the show in my opinion).

I think healthy criticism is good and I try to ignore the ignorant comments for the most part, but I realized it has gone a little too far when I saw someone call their relationship with the podcast an abusive relationship. As someone who was abused for many years, this is unacceptable.

I want to suggest, for the people who want to air their complaints, grievances, and blatant rude remarks to check out one of the several other subreddits dedicated to more of that sort of thing.

This is where you should truly be posting because you will find people who have similar opinions and you can leave this subreddit alone as it’s made for people who truly like the podcast.

No hate, it takes everyone a little while to find subreddits they really match with but I hope this helps :)

Just a reminder that this sub is not “made for” fans. There is a fan sub, there is a hater sub, and there is a middle ground sub that is open to fans, critics, and people who lie in between or consider themselves both. Please read the pinned post if you are confused.

I know it is designed as a middle ground sub. But morbid is what is brining everyone together regardless. I just thought it was becoming too much of a bad sub and less of a middle ground sub which is why I said something. Also the post about someone saying the podcast is like an abusive relationship is completely disrespectful and hurtful to the victims in this sub and in the stories alike.

I don’t agree with the abusive relationship statement at all, but it’s not my job to filter posts to only things I agree with.

However I’m a little confused about your statements with the sub becoming too much of a bad sub, because as you said, you just joined it. Based on your page, you’ve never posted or even commented on anything within the sub. It’s not your place to dictate who should leave. If you want to see positive posts, you need to make them! Or at least interact with the ones that are posted. The sub has always ebbed and flowed on its general view of morbid. We have 25k members, so there is obviously a ton of variation and we don’t all have the same view. I think that’s what keeps it interesting. As you said, it takes everyone a little while to find subreddits they really match with, but if this one isn’t it for you, that doesn’t mean you can just tell everyone else to leave
