The developer of Brigador is a secret chud, don't give him money

Seeing all those front page posts grouped up like that was sickening. Jesus Christ that website is getting worse and worse.

I liked the part where a moderator "isn't convinced they're all racist".

A happy little mouse!

Do imgur's points even do anything, or do people just constantly repost hot racist memes to make their number go up?

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

Negative points keep your comments from appearing without someone having to look for them, and if your account is in the negative you can't post images at all, only comment.

You get "Shadowbanned" if you get too many negative points. So a lot of people make topics wondering why they were banned when all they did was call a few hundred people faggots every day for a year! But positive points do nothing but give people e-popularity and ego so you get a lot of people reuploading other popular things trying to get in on that action. And imgur sure does love images that say black people are bad.

Also I think there's a market for buying accounts with lots of Karma. A year or so ago there was a story I read about a bunch of bots farming Karma by reposting in /r/pics over and over again until they had hundreds of thousands of Karma (You can get like at most 7,000-9,000 karma a post.

After reading through all that I wonder what the Imgur convention or meet up whatever was like. Seems like a vile community.

Nonzero chance there was at least one female who nearly ruined the whole thing by claiming someone who was just trying to be nice and friendly "sexually assaulted" her.

I think a convention would most likely be "It was awkward if you're not white but nothing actually happened" because any of the racists either don't care that much about Imgur or don't have the balls to be an rear end in a top hat outside of the internet. Speculation.

Are stupid crowdfunding campaigns permitted in this thread?

Because I found one by a guy wants $55k to become a pro golfer and is using his father's suicide when he was a kid as a reason to give him money.

Once more, the only comments calling it out are in the bad replies section !




This guy seems to get it, I linked him the forum post above :unsmith:


And then the bots are out in force. All of those lead to just a lewd pic with a url below it. Even the one for gays has a lew girl pic on it.

I've mentioned it before but I always think of Quark from Deep Space Nine when people say "females"


Thing is Quark (and Ferengi culture overall) actually became decent after a while but I see no such thing happening in the future for these people.

Nope. It's a harmless word, but the manosphere has weaponized it to the point where I second guess myself when I use it.
