This is the inevitable consequence of not allowing bullies in elementary and middle schools. Nobody (including me!) is ashamed about anything they do anymore.

If he had shame, he wouldn't be moderating the sex crimes subreddit to begin with.

Oh okay it's just a joke then

It was predated by a much more racist subreddit with the same "empty subreddit with nobody allowed to post" joke/gimmick: /r/blackfathers.
Thankfully at some point the head mod of that sub disappeared or got banned for racism or something and it got taken over by new leadership who turned it into a real wholesome parenting subreddit.

Bullies don't enforce normalcy, they pick a few people and drive them out of normalcy and into nerd groups (best case) or online creeper communities (worst) where they don't feel threatened.

Once you've been targeted they don't stop just because you act normal (ask me how I know).

Is it because you're a bully who relentlessly ruined the life of another kid?

Oh sure, the victims don't normal out, but everyone else becomes more circumspect so as to not become the next target

Note I don't think this betters society, but bullying absolutely maintains of a certain type of status quo

Wider but shallower bullying, like a wet blanket applying gentle oppression on the populace in general?

Where the gently caress did you all go to school that bullies weren't also the biggest creeps? Pretty sure calling people slurs and making the kid who likes to read at recess feel like poo poo didn't make anything better for anybody in my school.

I was friends with a guy who was pretty relentlessly bullied in middle school. The guys would throw footballs and garbage at him (One time so hard he was knocked unconscious) and the girls would take turns catfishing him. We drifted apart because he started to become this violent martial arts obsessed misogynist. He went on to get a girl pregnant and left her with the kid in highschool and in college he ended up raping an old mutual friend of ours.

Abuse can turn some people into monsters. Not everyone turns out like him of course and there are always other factors, but the bullying certainly didn't help.

When Reddit was new, there used to be an IRC bot on goon channels that would alert you when someone posted a picture they found on reddit. iirc it kept points, so you would know who the real redditors were.

I'm a big fan of bullying people I don't personally agree with and leaving everyone else alone. I think that's the only real way to handle this.

Altho I agree with it not being too useful. It was never bullying that got me to change, it was the moments of sincere reflection or comments made by others I trusted in total lack of maliciousness. Aggression makes it inherently easier to disregard.

Having said that, give the nerds a swirlie imo.

There is an r/bullying but that's more of people being bullied.

Oct 27, 2010

Every subreddit is full of nerds trying to be "the alpha male" but they miss the mark because they want to seem cool and tough but they *really* care about their niche sub-divide bullshit, and it's hard to be a real bully when you expose your weak points so vividly.

Posting about how much the losers who don't main Hanzo or whatever are total nerd losers, and how better people main Mercy (I don't know if those are from the same game and I don't care) unlike you losers, but then you can just reply "lol nice character loser" and they'll post ten page rants about how no, you, in fact, are the loser.

It's like shooting fish in a barrel, except they're sharks in a thimble.

I think this is my least favorite thing about reddit beyond the like, massive horror show shits like the pedophiles and serial harassers. No website needs a hundred bots that do nothing but respond to your post to rephrase it like a yoda quote, or a Shakespeare quote, or trying to ask if you're making some kind of sick popular media reference because you used a word a character in ready player one used once.

Do they still do the thing where multiple commenters take turns quoting lyrics from a song? IMO that's worse than the bots
