I think Reddit is fashionably liberal. You know, the types who say they don't hate LGBT people but only if they're hot lesbians they can updoot to the front page, but as soon as they're not conventionally attractive or too "flamboyant" then their sexuality is "in everyone's faces" all of a sudden.

Or the types who say women are equal but only if shes a young thin white girl you can sexualize. They salvate at the idea of hitting women or false rape accusations (which aren't cool and occur, but they're OBSESSED).

Or the types who LOVE black Twitter memes and slang but as soon as a black person speaks up about injustice or makes a joke about white people (despite being the type of people who say anything can be joked about, which you know, I can agree with) then they stop poorly imitating black people in the comments and show their true colors with comments like, "saying mean things about white people won't end racism!!" :qq:

All while they laugh at what they barely consider to be above coonery.

So, liberals.

nah, this is the only good thing about the redesign. whenever a line of conversation devolves into complete bullshit that you don't want to read anymore (this is extremely common), you can click that ever-present line to minimize it instead of having to scroll up to find the little minus button, or scroll down to figure out where the nested comment hell finally ends.

I bet if you looked at each subreddit and calculated the amount of hours each user was on and engaged in the site the more active users would be trump supporters

there's a certain kind of person who's on Reddit 14 hours a day posting (not reading) like it's their life's mission, you can make some safe assumptions about what he's posting about, and yeah that guy's making as much of a contribution to the "discourse" on Reddit as scores of normal users. Because of how Reddit's whole feedback/user system works, he's either got thirty majillion karma and a gold star and is mod of his own subreddit about feminazis and is counted as one of the site's most upstanding members, or his account will be abandoned for a fresh one or three inside a month when people start to tune him out as an obvious troll.

Imagine if Marvel/Disney did a gender swapped version of any male hero in the next film lol

There would be worse backlash than the latest Star Wars

nerds would be starting kickstarters to fund their own marvel films

What's funny about the dedicated Redditors is that they can't see the the entire site is garbage and is viewed by the owners as nothing more than a revenue stream. Are white supremacists in North America actively recruiting? Yes, but they must also click on banner ads, buy "gold", and drive up the page counts which is all that really matters when you run a site. Your posts will only get banned if you break whatever obscure, spergy, rules each subreddit has or you get enough reports against you the mod deletes it.

To me, Reddit is porn and piracy basically. Kinda like how we had DPPH and BTB back in the day but removed them (in part) because we started getting so many idiots here just for those two forums.

In nearly ever reddit thread, in any topic, you will have some self-centered wanker trot in with a personal story that is only tangibly related to the thread. It gets weirder and weirder as more and more people start clinging to the most random topic. A weird chain forms were you end up reading about someones sisters friends brother happened to me meet some celeb in a science post. Or worse, how they feel about X.

I remember when front page subreddits were a thing, and those poor bastards over at 2X were made frontpage status (whatever the gently caress it was called), an influx of poser idiots started chiming in with the inane bullshit. It got so bad, a post was made calling out these self centered idiots to stop. I saw several post about first hand witness of abuse to a minor and half way through some idiot decides to post how they feel about it. It always started off with "As a father I can never imagine doing X to my daughter" or "Wow I could never do such a thing to my GF, one time we had a fight...blah blah".

It's really bizarre, why are you telling me how you feel about rape or how you can never imagine yourself doing it? I guess some people just love reading their own lovely posts.

Lot's of native americans deserve to be poo poo on posters, people complaining about liberals for some reason, people complaining about how a transphobic radio host got kicked off his show

It's also weirdly cliquey with in jokes and memes

The city police department has an official account on it too and he always jumps in to defend whatever the police are doing or giving unsolicited advice on things while being condescending

The head mod of /r/Houston thinks Black Restaurant Week is racist and spouts off urban legends about how every panhandler you see is actually making like 6 figures.

There’s also a few cops that do the exact same thing, although not via an “official” account or anything.

There’s also a really big weirdo former cop that that got thrown off the force at some point in the past. Now he makes really terrifying posts about how he wants police cars on every street to “discourage” adultery, or about how mothers who have a car stolen with a baby inside should go to prison, or how he goes into a rage and literally sees red anytime someone cuts him off, or any number of huge red flags that show he’s a deranged lunatic that’s going to snap one day. He’s also a valued member of the community who goes on bicycle rides with the reddit community and goes to their meet ups lol
