Reddit: a place where a handful of radical feminists and angry transgender folks characterize their entire respective movements, but an entire subreddit dedicated to rape/pedophilia/racial slurs has nothing to do with the larger Reddit community.

Why is it that the type of people who wear pseudo-Victorian clothes everywhere can never quite figure out how to get their hair and eyewear sorted out to go with it? It's always unfashionable wire-rimmed glasses and mousy unkempt hair.

Based on the like, one horrible novel I've read I think a lot of these people actually think that's how people should look. That not paying attention to your hair implies you're too smart or busy to do it or something, instead of just lazy and the glasses come from them not knowing any other forms of eyeware. It's like that or a monocle.

Get ready for teh wacky laughz0r!
You know how people joke all the time about Genghis Khan being some badass motherfucker capable of doing all sorts of crazy poo poo?

Basically, you're watching the gradual transformation of Hitler into a cultural trope. As the people that experienced World War II all die off, and then their children die off, and so on and so forth, people just won't take it seriously anymore and will casually joke about Hitler and write top ten lists about him on the 25th century equivalent of Buzzfeed.

Actually, you can already see this a lot in southeast Asia. Places like Thailand never experienced Hitler and think he's hilarious.

I used to read joke books constantly as a kid, and one of the ways I see people make content online is simply taking a old, maybe obscure joke and turning it into either a comic or a skit.

The version I always heard was "Why did Hitler kill himself? He opened the gas bill."

This somehow manages to be more milquetoast and adds a bunch of little jokes that aren't really funny. Trophy for killing 6 million Jews. That's not really a joke. A joke is "How many Jews can you fit in a Toyota? 2 in the front seat, 3 in the back, and 6 million in the ashtray." Tasteless and offensive? Absolutely, but it at least has an unexpected twist. His drawer handles are swastikas. Hilarious. And don't forget the ever so subtle book on the left, "How to beat jews". Remember, it doesn't have to be funny if you have to look for it!

Whoever made this took a simple funny joke and added admittedly decent art to it but also added a whole bunch of unnecessary details that aren't even slightly funny. This was going to be a smaller post, but the more I noticed the angrier I got.

Might not want to view if you're at work, but this user decided to use their imgur account to post all their fetishes. For some reason different versions of a small person next to a large women is posted multiple times, with the same caption: "Anything's a dildo if you're brave enough." Loads and loads of pictures of women being tied up, gagged, pictures of latex outfits with various puns about being squeaky, and most of the things they use as reaction images are directly lifted from porn. Also, the poster seems to be implying that they are a woman.

As far as I know, they banned NSFW stuff in front page comments. The users then threw a hissy fit about "free speech!" and the decision was reversed.

I feel like the imgur community is actually balanced between male and female (compared to other websites), so its a mob of horny racist teenage boys, and racist self-loathing teenage girls.

Yes.

Although I would not be surprised if there were numerous other occasions. There are several hissy fits the community likes to refer to as "wars". This one was the NSFW war iirc though I have seen references in comments to at least one "imgur civil war". It's hilariously ridiculous imo.

Man, I know that I find it impossible to tell if someone doesn't really want to have sex. If only people who wanted to have sex were enthusiastic about it and communicated their enjoyment about what was going on. But, as we all know, all sex is done in sullen silence with both partners never looking at each other and it is impossible to tell if your partner is into it.

-Someone who hasn't had sex in probably half a decade, because women find him insufferable.

Also there's gotta be research out there showing a correlation between men who say women "cry rape" and men who are actual rapists trying to justify their actions.
