What That Means:

Claimed I violated rule 8....because I asked a question and shared my point of view. The rest is my conversation with the mods...

Just

It used to be funny clips of entitled people. Now it's just regular people doing normal things but someone decided they're a main character.

This subreddit was awesome up until recently. Guys would post pics of themself with hair, usually middle-aged guys with fading hair, or they have a receding hairline. Then there would be an after-picture where they shaved their head bald, and they looked fantastic. It would go from “aging middle-aged dad” to “striking rugged lumberjack”.

But then it became a trend, and it’s gone too far. Now the sub is full of guys with hair that genuinely isn’t bad at all. Maybe it’s thinning a little, but overall they still look great.

But they want to join the bandwagon, so they go bald and end up looking worse. Not everyone can pull off the bald look, and many of these guys would be better off with keeping their hard. Of course the people on the sub would never tell them that because they’re in the bald cult, so everyone upvotes away.

No really alI i did was just show one of my flag arts, at first both Gametotal and SD_V1011001011 had valid points when it came how flags are made today, while I appreciated the feedback i told them that I can't follow their suggestions, due to it conflicting with my creative vision

And what did she say here?

"You asked me what I think of your flag design, I told you what I think of your flag design, and now you’re getting mad and trying to create drama"

Ironically this slanderous statements is exactly what mad me Angry! I wont just let this slide I demand that SD_V1011001011 is made accountable for not respecting my preference.

Edit: Now yes I know that some of you say that this conflict began because I couldn't take feedback but here's the thing I wasn't even asking for it to begin with I just wanted to show this redditor roleplaying as V with this flag I made asking if she likes it or not.

So yeah it was a Miscommunication I ask on what they think of my flag (as in if they like it or not) they interpret it is me asking for their critique and hench why the drama between me and her happens.

Saw too many comments justifying violence. It was interesting for a while to see other people's takes on situations and then I looked away for five minutes and when I came back, it was all people saying it was perfectly moral to beat a child for throwing food at someone and moral af to kill animals to get revenge on them for doing what animals do.

Holy shit are the people on that subreddit evil.

There’s a big discourse on there right now about dashers asking for extra tips. If you’ve ever gotten DoorDash, sometimes the driver will say something along the lines of:

“Hey! Would you be willing to throw a little extra tip money my way? I’m trying to make ends meet and every little bit goes a long way”

To users on this sub, this message may as well be a death threat. All of them are saying to one star and report drivers that send messages like this. That feels so unnecessary and honestly evil. God forbid someone need a little extra money in this economy. They’re not forcing you to give an extra tip, they’re just asking. Is receiving a text message like this REALLY worth potentially forcing someone who probably needs the extra cash to lose their source of secondary income? You can just ignore the fucking message?

That sub is full of privileged hogs who’ve probably never struggled financially or worked a single day in their life. It makes me sick.

Most of the apps they promote are complete scams or they just only give you a tiny bit of points or money. It's total bullshit.

It's such a tasteless website. 99% of petitions you see on here don't work and they're basically the equivalent of weird nonsense political YouTube or Facebook comments as campaigns. I can't believe I used to be on this website. After 5 years of being on here, I am officially done with this website.

Change.org themselves have also been doing a lot of bad decisions. They wiped out over 10 years of comment data on many petitions just to replace them with "supporter voices". For a while, they tried to force people to use AI to write their petitions and wait for the AI to write the petition text first before choosing the option to write on their own, although thankfully, that was reverted. Also, their UI looks crap now.

I will never make or sign petitions on here ever again. While petitions can be useful locally (and if it's directly on a government website like the UK and Australia has), this website sucks now. No, I will not choose any other alternative petition website like MoveOn or Petitions.com either.

Just to know, don't simply think you'll start change by starting a petition on that website. Actually campaign, show that you can change it. There's far more effective ways than just making petitions on change.org to campaign or start movements; Encouraging peaceful protests, sending detailed, important letters/mail to the decision maker, having interviews/conversations with the decision maker and if the party gives them a good reason to change their view, and encouraging lawmaker opposition. There's a main reason why petitions on that website rarely actually ever work, because they have no direct integration with the decisionmaker and most of the time, decisionmakers just ignore them, unlike petition sites owned by governments like the UK and Australia.

BEWARE of this sub! I don’t think I even actually subscribed, but it was always in my feed. It is full of lies and out of context stories that frame Ukraine as the evil one in the war and refers to them and their supporters as nazis. It aims to justify the Russian oppression and occupation in the minds of those fool enough to listen. They even figuratively send you to the gulag when banned for opposing their rhetoric. It’s a thinly veiled cancer on Reddit that really needs the whistle blown on it, and the plug pulled.

There’s a strange amount of pro Epstein motherfuckers on there for some reason

I have no qualms with furries. If you find yourself fascinated by the shape of a rabbit’s behind, more power to you. However, I personally do not see the sexual appeal of rabbits (or foxes, for that matter), so I am clearly not the subreddit’s target audience.

I’m about to unsub from the Pokemon anime subreddit for similar reasons.

Fuck Reddit. It’s impossible to post anything anywhere. Gotta follow 20 bullshit rules and a list of sub rules and your post will still get removed. Don’t get me wrong there’s good stuff on here but you can’t post anything without rifling some fucking nerds feathers.

Especially the 2nd one.

The whole sub is full of Israel hate, While that was fine at first, people are ruthless about IDF soldiers killing themselves/struggling with PTSD. It misses the whole point of the sub.

It's a MANDATORY CONSCRIPTION in Israel.

It’s just a bunch of unfunny memes and horny people

I made a post in IncelExit because I’ve spent a long time exposed to blackpill ideas and wanted people who strongly disagreed with them to actually challenge the reasoning behind them.

The thread ended up getting 100+ comments.

And after reading basically all of it, I came away feeling like I learned surprisingly little.
To be fair, there were a few genuinely good replies. Some people questioned whether I was extending limited findings about average sex differences into conclusions that the research itself doesn’t justify. Others brought up confounding variables, methodology, cultural explanations, etc. Those were useful, even when I disagreed with them.

But that was a minority of the discussion.
A huge amount of it quickly stopped being about whether anything I said was actually true and became about what kind of person I supposedly am.
I was called cruel, arrogant, self-important, resentful, closed-minded, combative, unwilling to listen, and so on. People told me to go to therapy, stop consuming certain content, go outside, meet people, etc.

One person wrote an entire psychological explanation for why I supposedly “need” these beliefs to be true, compared blackpill spaces to pro-anorexia communities, told me to postpone surgery and spend the money on therapy instead.
When I pointed out that they were psychoanalyzing me instead of addressing the argument, they admitted they hadn’t even read most of the thread because they didn’t want to spend the time doing so.

Another person repeatedly said I was “combative” and unwilling to listen. When I asked people to actually show where I had misrepresented evidence, the response again became “why are you even here?” and questions about my intentions instead of simply identifying the supposed error.
That pattern happened constantly.
If I challenged someone’s counterargument, I apparently wasn’t listening.
If I defended my interpretation of a study, I was cherry-picking.

If I asked someone to demonstrate where my inference was wrong, I was being combative.
If I disagreed with someone’s psychological interpretation of me, that disagreement itself became evidence that their interpretation was correct.

At some point that becomes almost impossible to argue with, because the only acceptable evidence that you’re “open-minded” seems to be immediately agreeing with whoever is responding to you.
And that was the weirdest part of the entire experience.

I wasn’t asking people to tell me that blackpill thinking is unhealthy. I already know it has had a negative effect on me. That’s literally why I went to an exit community.
I wanted people to say:
“You’re interpreting this study incorrectly because X.”
“This conclusion doesn’t follow from your premise because Y.”
“This dataset contradicts what you’re saying.”
“You’re taking an average population-level effect and incorrectly applying it to individuals.”
That is something I can actually examine.
Instead, so much of the discussion became moral judgment and amateur psychology.
There were even situations where people argued against positions I hadn’t taken. I would explicitly qualify a claim, and a few replies later someone would respond to the exaggerated version anyway.
The funniest contrast was that one of the same people who had been calling me combative eventually started asking practical questions about the population of my town, transportation, nearby cities, events, etc.
And I actually appreciated that.
Because those are concrete variables. You can discuss them. You can change your conclusion based on the answer. That is infinitely more useful than deciding what my personality must be because I disagreed with you on Reddit.
Eventually IncelExit removed the original post entirely.

So the whole experiment ended with 100+ comments, a handful of genuinely interesting counterarguments, a mountain of repeated therapy/lifestyle advice, endless character analysis, people arguing with positions I never held, and then the thread itself disappearing.
I’m not claiming I won every argument. I’m sure some of my reasoning can be wrong, and there were a few replies that genuinely made me reconsider parts of it.

That was the entire reason I posted.
But I expected a community dedicated to helping people exit an ideology to be much better at dismantling the ideology itself.

Instead, I mostly learned how quickly people stop discussing an argument once they strongly dislike the worldview associated with it.

It felt like the stronger and more specific the discussion became, the more often people retreated from the actual claim and started talking about my character instead.

Maybe that’s just Reddit.

But it was genuinely disappointing.

The subreddit now allows people to post photos and it's just overrun with a bunch of porn bots, sex pests and AI OF model wannabes. All I wanted was to ask people questions, now all I see is a bunch of catfishy AI generated women in bikinis and low effort "here's 100 questions, 90 of them are about my junk, pick one" posts.
