I heard people who use reddit poop in their own mouths. Not for any medical reason, they just enjoy it :confused:

Whenever anybody says /r/ thisthatortheother you should immediately feel shame and loathing. If you do not, please report to the surgeon for neurofixing.

After server costs that would mean the most popular poster gets negative twenty dollars.

Even though a cover charge seems like bullshit when you're paying it, it really does keep out a good deal of the riffraff

Relevant to what? you may ask. Keep in mind this is a site that made its bones reposting old content and that bills itself as the internet's front page. I've even heard the goddamn dorks at work call it that. It is them we have to thank for the resurgence of the dankest memes of 2005-7.

Why do they think we're obsessed with robocop? I mean, we are... great movie. But I never thought of it as a defining feature.

I've never even seen robocop, but when someone starts talking about "what sub are you on" and they don't mean a boat or a sex freak, I sure do feel like shooting some scumbags.

I remember when a popular twitch chat saw a black person in a video game and immediately spammed links to videos of monkey noises. Now that streamer no longer allows video links.

reddit is like, imagine what a turd you were back when you were playing starcraft 1 and everybody on bnet would threaten to rape and kill you if you beat them and their bad rush, you cheating fag friend of the family, cause I'm an ex Marine and I'll find out where you live. So remember what many of us were like back then. Now imagine that there's memes all over the place and they're older than you so you have no idea where they came from. And everybody communicates in memes without even knowing why.

So it's mostly for kids, that's why the majority of their content sucks. Also, they have no paywall so lol at the idea that they can "keep the facebook users out" but that's part of my facebook rant, which isn't suited for this thread. I'll just say I sometimes miss the old days where the only meme was goatse. :corsair:

Some of it is this, but a lot of the racism on reddit seems to come from people in their 30s and 40s which is a lot more disturbing imo

I'll correct myself. It's largely for kids and adults with the minds of kids.

Not to defend their racism but isn't a 30-40 year olds racism more internet racism? Like if they met a black person IRL their first reaction would not be to try to lynch them or gently caress them over in someway?

This assumes they meet black people in their daily lives tho.

i have no idea but i meant in the sense of "pictures of people in swimsuits are not porn unless you have the mindset of a 1920s preacher"

for the record i'm indifferent to reddit and r/jailbait was creepy and i'm glad its gone but a lot of goons use it as an excuse to feel superior about the fact they paid actual irl money to post on a message board

I mean, they called it "jailbait". We didn't name it.

Also this forum can suck my cock for what they did to the wikileaks thread. Yeah, no one's paying me to say that.

It doesn't make you superior to pay to get in. It's just that reddit attracts...scumbags.

I think SA is good, and we should stop trying to own each other. its a message board. lets be cool buds to each other.

I always like your posts.

And to Lowtax: It was front page content that got me reading this site about fourteen years ago. You shouldn't lose heart - after all, like you said there were plenty of naysayers the entire time. You not only have the site which produces good and funny content, you produced a good deal of it yourself and got to present some very talented people to a larger audience. You give us a place where we connect, and despite the low-effort posters and the trolls in general, the society is a net gain for all involved. Hell, if the place wasn't vibrant, there would be no trolls since they need fresh meat to live.

So when people say that tired cliche "dead gay forums", I either assume a) it's a clever catchphrase to ward off potential shitposters and steer them off towards poo poo sites like reddit or b) it's dumb assholes who just want to be edgy and nihilistic as possible (you know who you are).

SA is great. Loved it for almost half my life. Still read the front page. Love you guys dearly. Peace.

People who get mad about spoilers are mentally retarded. There's libraries of great books that have gone unread while you watch a show about loving dragons, who even cares? It's a fun show, some of it is really entertaining and the production is first rate but lol if you're watching it for the "plot". Don't kid yourself. Gurm didn't just start off writing soaps, he's still getting rich off 'em.

IMO if you made me and Iron Prince IKs in gbs it would fix everything, including all the problems in forums other than gbs too. Well that's all i've got, hope you're having an excellent day w/ your family.
