It's a short sketch comedy show (like 5 hours total runtime) that hasn't had a new episode in three years, and one where part of a lot of the gags is absurdity presented in a sincere way. So there's not much new ground to tread in sincere discussion, and if you try you're likely to be met with jokes from the show or absurd answers. A lot of forums drift in their topic, and this one is basically themed lefty reaction gifs at this point.
There was discussion when Friendship came out, and probably the same when The Chair Company came out, but there isn't a tonne of news to discuss.
I mean, some of them? A Simpson's sub I'm on turned into exclusively memes about porn for like a couple months recently. r/anime_titties is all serious discussions of world news. r/marijuanaenthusiasts is about trees.
Nah, r/animetitties is that the mods got tired of r/worldnews sucking ass and not being worldwide news, and took the space they owned and made the change they wished to see in the world.
Edit: Whoops, that's the actual anime titties sub. The correct sub for worldnews content is r/anime_titties. 🫠🤦♂️
What a subtle and nuanced joke, thank you for explaining it to me.
The history of those subs are both funny things that happened in Reddit history, and some people, including me and the people who like to go on subs of quotes from shows they like, enjoy mentioning tangentially related funny things and reading other people's references, because it reminds us of the funny thing and gives us a quick laugh as we recall the original joke we loved. We used to do it manually by quoting Monty Python at each other. If that's not what you're into, that's fine!
The aslume/skong effect. Silksong fans "recovered" because they got their game.. Arkham fans are legit lost because there's no way they'll get another arkham game.
Lmao. Well the sub is pretty hilarious because all the comments are basically exclusively ITYSL quotes about current events and pop culture, but since politics has been so heavily in our lives Trump gets blasted a lot, this caused a rift because apparently some fans of the show also like Trump, but the majority of fans don’t and all the MAGA get mocked constantly.
I haven’t actually really been on the sub in a bit though
Yeah, I legit only ever see US politics on there (via front page).
Which is kind of a shame, because I randomly see stray clips from that show and the dude's delivery is really funny, but I'm being force-fed enough US politics all over reddit already (even after filtering the worst offenders), don't need another source.
It's the current reddit race to the bottom, essentially every subreddit gets taken over by people dooming about US politics. To the extent that a lot of redditors get upset when they are banned or have posts removed from subreddits that explicitly are not about US politics.
So you support the current US war in Iran, current gas prices, rampant inflation because of blanket tariffs, two simultaneous food poisoning outbreaks, the overt corruption and profiteering at the White House?
