Abhorrent in what way? What exactly is terrible about ELI5? What is disgusting about the AMAs that come up? What is so awful about the various gay subreddits? I always thought earthporn was a great spot for excellent photos.

There's nothing 'abhorrent' about anything you listed, but....

Almost every ELI5 is a joke/circlejerk post.

AMAs are publicity stunts, few/no useful questions are answered, and people just circlejerk in the comments.

As for the gay subreddits, some are fine, they're still hosted on a pretty terrible website. People still defend using 'faggot' as a casual insult on almost every default subreddit.


Small subreddits can still be great, but they're like tiny bunkers in a giant storm of manchildren.

Any service a group of enthusiasts can use to create a community dedicated to oogling over pictures of dead children with tacit consent is just implicitly broken. There's Net Neutrality, and Free Internet, and then there's... this.

I like to think I'm not a prude, and I'm not surprised that this exists, and I only have a little trouble allowing it to exist, but that it's overlooked by the administrators of Reddit gives me a very negative impression of their corporate values, and the value of Reddits in general. I believe that there should be at least one neutral authority a community must hold themselves up to, mods that even r/picsofdeadkids must answer to.

As far as I can tell, there is none.

Even 4chan, which is the arse end of the internet has the kind of authority I'm describing. Theirs is the overwhelming mob rule of the place, which would crush a niche community like that one out of sheer disgust and shame.

EDIT: I like the current length.

And we have a fundamental disagreement here, because a completely separate, unrelated subreddit focused on something utterly repulsive should have absolutely no bearing on a different community that just happens to be located on the same web service.

Do I get my haircut short again, a la:

or keep it the length it is now:

While you've already decided on short, I think the way you have it now suits you slightly better than the hair style in the first photograph. Either way, however, you look very good regardless so both choices are very valid for you.

I'm not condemning any single community, but the concept of Reddit as a whole. The fact it exists at all is a black stain on the service, just like if an enclave of dead children gawkers existed somewhere around downtown Manhattan. If such a thing existed you can be sure City Hall would not tolerate that. I would like to think that my government, or any foreign government, would put its foot down when things like that pop up.

That Reddit just lets it go is why I question the principles behind the entire service, and no Reddit community, no matter how benign, is immune from that judgement. If there was a "Dead kids |OT|" on GAF and the moderators didn't take it out immediately, scorched earth, you can be pretty fucking sure the rest of GAF is going to go ham on it.

What about the other Subreddits?

"No, not our problem."

Well, fine, but whose is it? It's clearly a problem, it has to be someone's problem, but no one involved directly or indirectly is stepping up to take responsibility.

That's abhorrent.

... Tsk. I am glad that I have stayed away from 4Chan all my life (somehow). I have heard that it is... Worse. Is it...?

The culture is more toxic but they don't have a community of dead kid gawkers as far as I'm aware.

And sometimes they do good, when they happen to blunder into it.

I will never post a clear mugshot here because I look pretty terrible, especially on stills.

Haven't weighed or measured myself in ages, but I should be somewhere just north of 50kg and 180cm. I am happy it's not the other way around because I love carbs.

5'6 and 165 lbs. And no, none of that is muscle.
On the plus side, it pretty much all stores in my ass and a little in my tummy, lol. So looks cute, at least I've been told. :p

About 5'9- 5'10 and roughly 190. I'm a ton of leg muscle and ass muscle meat XD
Though i did gain about 15- 20 pounds within the last 15 months i'm certainly thicker in the waist now but not chunky, also that weight went to my thighs and ass more as well lol
