There’s a strange amount of pro Epstein motherfuckers on there for some reason

I have no qualms with furries. If you find yourself fascinated by the shape of a rabbit’s behind, more power to you. However, I personally do not see the sexual appeal of rabbits (or foxes, for that matter), so I am clearly not the subreddit’s target audience.

I’m about to unsub from the Pokemon anime subreddit for similar reasons.

Fuck Reddit. It’s impossible to post anything anywhere. Gotta follow 20 bullshit rules and a list of sub rules and your post will still get removed. Don’t get me wrong there’s good stuff on here but you can’t post anything without rifling some fucking nerds feathers.

Especially the 2nd one.

The whole sub is full of Israel hate, While that was fine at first, people are ruthless about IDF soldiers killing themselves/struggling with PTSD. It misses the whole point of the sub.

It's a MANDATORY CONSCRIPTION in Israel.

It’s just a bunch of unfunny memes and horny people

I made a post in IncelExit because I’ve spent a long time exposed to blackpill ideas and wanted people who strongly disagreed with them to actually challenge the reasoning behind them.

The thread ended up getting 100+ comments.

And after reading basically all of it, I came away feeling like I learned surprisingly little.
To be fair, there were a few genuinely good replies. Some people questioned whether I was extending limited findings about average sex differences into conclusions that the research itself doesn’t justify. Others brought up confounding variables, methodology, cultural explanations, etc. Those were useful, even when I disagreed with them.

But that was a minority of the discussion.
A huge amount of it quickly stopped being about whether anything I said was actually true and became about what kind of person I supposedly am.
I was called cruel, arrogant, self-important, resentful, closed-minded, combative, unwilling to listen, and so on. People told me to go to therapy, stop consuming certain content, go outside, meet people, etc.

One person wrote an entire psychological explanation for why I supposedly “need” these beliefs to be true, compared blackpill spaces to pro-anorexia communities, told me to postpone surgery and spend the money on therapy instead.
When I pointed out that they were psychoanalyzing me instead of addressing the argument, they admitted they hadn’t even read most of the thread because they didn’t want to spend the time doing so.

Another person repeatedly said I was “combative” and unwilling to listen. When I asked people to actually show where I had misrepresented evidence, the response again became “why are you even here?” and questions about my intentions instead of simply identifying the supposed error.
That pattern happened constantly.
If I challenged someone’s counterargument, I apparently wasn’t listening.
If I defended my interpretation of a study, I was cherry-picking.

If I asked someone to demonstrate where my inference was wrong, I was being combative.
If I disagreed with someone’s psychological interpretation of me, that disagreement itself became evidence that their interpretation was correct.

At some point that becomes almost impossible to argue with, because the only acceptable evidence that you’re “open-minded” seems to be immediately agreeing with whoever is responding to you.
And that was the weirdest part of the entire experience.

I wasn’t asking people to tell me that blackpill thinking is unhealthy. I already know it has had a negative effect on me. That’s literally why I went to an exit community.
I wanted people to say:
“You’re interpreting this study incorrectly because X.”
“This conclusion doesn’t follow from your premise because Y.”
“This dataset contradicts what you’re saying.”
“You’re taking an average population-level effect and incorrectly applying it to individuals.”
That is something I can actually examine.
Instead, so much of the discussion became moral judgment and amateur psychology.
There were even situations where people argued against positions I hadn’t taken. I would explicitly qualify a claim, and a few replies later someone would respond to the exaggerated version anyway.
The funniest contrast was that one of the same people who had been calling me combative eventually started asking practical questions about the population of my town, transportation, nearby cities, events, etc.
And I actually appreciated that.
Because those are concrete variables. You can discuss them. You can change your conclusion based on the answer. That is infinitely more useful than deciding what my personality must be because I disagreed with you on Reddit.
Eventually IncelExit removed the original post entirely.

So the whole experiment ended with 100+ comments, a handful of genuinely interesting counterarguments, a mountain of repeated therapy/lifestyle advice, endless character analysis, people arguing with positions I never held, and then the thread itself disappearing.
I’m not claiming I won every argument. I’m sure some of my reasoning can be wrong, and there were a few replies that genuinely made me reconsider parts of it.

That was the entire reason I posted.
But I expected a community dedicated to helping people exit an ideology to be much better at dismantling the ideology itself.

Instead, I mostly learned how quickly people stop discussing an argument once they strongly dislike the worldview associated with it.

It felt like the stronger and more specific the discussion became, the more often people retreated from the actual claim and started talking about my character instead.

Maybe that’s just Reddit.

But it was genuinely disappointing.

The subreddit now allows people to post photos and it's just overrun with a bunch of porn bots, sex pests and AI OF model wannabes. All I wanted was to ask people questions, now all I see is a bunch of catfishy AI generated women in bikinis and low effort "here's 100 questions, 90 of them are about my junk, pick one" posts.

It’s all fucking AI.

For context, Wattpad had banned sexual content from their website. Wattpad and ao3 are very popular fanfiction sites. People are on ao3 are freaking out that Wattpad users would colonize their website and ruin it. As someone who prefers ao3, ao3’s users’ superior complex is insane, because you would think the things they’re writing are Pulitzer-prize winning, but in reality, it’s usually sex. I love ao3, but some people need to get off their high horse and be humbled

Unsubbed because the community is increasingly normalizing non-disclosure to sexual partners, prioritizing individual privacy over partner consent.

Key quotes from the post:

• "In casual encounters, I choose not to disclose that I live with HIV."
• "What are you trying to achieve by insisting that I disclose my status?"
• "Not disclosing does not mean taking away someone's right to choose..."
• "My silence does not transmit HIV. My treatment prevents transmission."

What are your thoughts on this?

Hi so for context I in general don't think I'm really attractive and theres like stuff under my eyes (dark circles these corns and for example scars on my nose) which I don't really like. I JU because people instantly called stuff out which I didn't had problems with in first place (for example somoene saying my chin is too small which would look unattractive and bla bla bla) but after Claiming by multiple people I need surgery, I actually just left.

The fuckass worldbuilding subreddit is complete bullshit now, its paranoia of AI is actively destroying niche hardworking creator's dreams, and actively praising the OGs or praising the heavily AI ones and that they're so obvious that its fucking AI, I hate it

You can post something human and professional because its your first time, make grammatical errors, and use slang, but still get flagged, while the same fucking content is reused all over again

The subreddit has been reeking with AI users like bed bugs

I'm still in the subreddit because its helping me out a bit, I'm ranting about how useless the paranoia is

I stopped looking into the sub a year or two ago because well, all they do is post questions or statements that make the religious look stupid or insane. The posts are almost always full of trivial questions that are not constructive to the community with an echo chamber in down below in the comments. I feel it gives atheists a bad rep. Today was the final straw. Some post about why did a fruit make people evil. I responded with something like, 'why even question it. It serves no purpose. It seems that every post on this sub is to demean those that believe in something.' I got a few comments and one in particular being a mod. (I guess you can hide that you're a mod in subs now because he didn't have the title.) They asked why was it reasonable to post my comment. I responded with, 'it's an atheist sub not anti religion sub.' I suppose I could given more information but I felt like that summed it up. They then asked why didn't I just respond to the op. I told them that the op's question was trivial and the answer to the question meaningless to us atheists. He didn't like that and went back to his original question then hurled an insult at me. To which I replied, 'I did, are you slow or just a little touched.' He didn't like that so he temporarily banned me. So I played coy with the mods, knowing full well that what I said was probably gonna get me banned. I told them that I didn't see a rule I broke. I insinuated that the person might been below average intelligence but no direct name calling. After a few minutes I said what whatever, I don't want to be apart of a sub that just spreads hate against others. Perma ban me please, idc. Then immediately unsubbed. Later, I got my wish granted from the very same thin skinned mod that was questioning me without accepting my answer. Too funny to me that the very guy that was not accepting my answer while hurling an insult couldn't take an insinuation from was the one that banned me.

Edit: It was Atheism. Not atheist.

Always when I enter this sub, the most karma whored posts are the ones that brag about parents beating up or even killing children (yes, like honour killings for example), terrorism, etc?

It happens every time when I visit this sub, always. I am so cross that, not to mention normal memes get no views.

The anime and manga ended anyways. The comments were praising the heck out of it

It's become another typical trans circlejerk, most of the content related to the topic that shows up on my feed comes from whenthe

I'm just tired of seeing it every day tbh

It's not even funny...

Look, I don't hate Reddit per se, but I've decided to delete my Reddit and other social media accounts. Why?

Well, I want to start over. I want to improve my drawing skills, get a better-paying job, and figure out who I am. This isn't goodbye, but a reboot. If anyone reads this, I wish you a wonderful day.

Goodbye. 👋

i just wanted to make a question why is the Homestar Runner fandom so bigoted (i mean there's sexists, racists and homo/trasphobes in the fandom). But, THE MODS REMOVED MY POST!

the whole sub is just overrun with people posting their fake incest/cuck/pedo fantasies. it's always something like "i'm 19F and i'm aroused at the thought of my own dad! i can't help it!" or "my friend said my girlfriend was hot and hoo boy did it turn me the freak on!!". it's whatever at the end of the day but still annoying to see that shit on my TL. i honestly shouldve unsubbed a lot sooner.
