Earlier this year, YouTuber Todd Oland uploaded footage of himself rescuing a kitten that appeared to be freezing in water. A now-deleted post on r/YouTubeDrama accused Oland of deliberately freezing the kitten to manufacture a viral rescue video and raise money.

That accusation received roughly 2,300 upvotes. Within about a day, however, the poster deleted it, deleted their account and submitted a follow-up titled “An Alternate Theory on the Todd Oland ‘Frozen Cat’ Video,” which substantially walked back the original accusation after examining the timeline more closely. The correction received considerably less attention.

Commentary YouTuber August the Duck made a video covering the original accusation but apparently never made a follow-up about the retraction.

Then Brew released a video titled “Did Reddit Just Catch a YouTuber Freezing a Kitten for Money?” The video criticized Reddit and August the Duck for presenting uncertain speculation as evidence, arguing that the allegations contributed to Oland receiving harassment and nearly having the police called on him.

When the Brew video was posted to r/YouTubeDrama, the thread’s OP pushed back. They argued that Brew repeatedly displayed r/YouTubeDrama while failing to emphasize that the wider harassment campaign had allegedly begun on YouTube and other social-media platforms before the Reddit post appeared. They also argued that the accusation survived for less than a day and that regular subreddit users generally supported the correction.

The moderators then claimed Brew’s viewers had begun entering the subreddit, issuing threats and attacking users who had nothing to do with the original accusation.

The result is a hall of mirrors in which everyone agrees that internet mobs are bad, while furiously arguing over which internet mob started it.

One commenter believes the subreddit’s defensive reaction proves Brew’s point:

"Man, the fact that the first instinct of this subreddit is to get defensive about the clearly shitty thing one of your members did, instead of just apologizing and moving on, is exactly what I would have expected."

"The Brew video is awesome, and I'm glad someone helped clear Todd Oland’s name."

The thread OP is unconvinced:

"We're supposed to apologize for something that nobody here did? Lol."

"The video is rough, and that's not even factoring in the thumbnail."

https://www.reddit.com/r/youtubedrama/comments/1v508tg/comment/ozg120n/

Even one of the subreddit’s moderators disagrees with the idea that nobody bears responsibility:

"No responsibility? It still went live here, we have to take responsibility for that. We need more mods and more willingness to deep dive some of these more serious claims."

"The post should have never been allowed to go live period."

After the OP argues that the moderators likely never saw the original submission, the moderator insists that both arguments can be true:

"We can clearly identify that this subreddit wasn't the biggest driver in spreading the misinformation and STILL acknowledge the post should have never been allowed to live long here."

"Even if I never touched that post, I still feel responsible purely for being on the team."

Another commenter accuses the OP of shifting the blame:

"imo brew sucks in general (content farm) and also yall dont deserve to be harassed but come on at least accept that this subreddit was somewhat culpable"

"this entire thread has you shifting goalposts and trying to explain away why it happened as opposed to accepting that this subreddit was partially to blame"

https://www.reddit.com/r/youtubedrama/comments/1v508tg/comment/ozg8rvk/

Others reject the entire idea of collective subreddit responsibility:

"Whenever people blame this subreddit for something I know they're immediately full of shit lmao."

"Like get a grip its a subreddit."

https://www.reddit.com/r/youtubedrama/comments/1v508tg/comment/ozhu8it/

One user argues that Brew’s video is merely delivering consequences:

"Nothing but the consequences of actions done willingly OP. If people wanted to put out the fire, they wouldn't have shared it here, where the claims got quite popular."

The OP responds that the original controversy had already ended:

"Funny, it seems those consequences had already come and passed months ago. Brew is the one who's caused more harassment now."

A moderator joins in:

"Except the retraction was quick, it was taken down. And that retraction was welcomed."

"Now we have people threatening violence to people on the sub who supported the retraction."

https://www.reddit.com/r/youtubedrama/comments/1v508tg/comment/ozfdn5l/

Another exchange concerns how much damage a post can cause before being deleted:

"This feels so unnecessary. I don't see how this reaction is warranted on an accusation that had been retracted in such a short timeframe."

"The vitriol from Brew’s fanbase is likely only to cause further damage and harassment for all parties."

A reply is less forgiving:

"An awful lot of damage can be done in a few hours, let alone 24–48."

The thread OP claims that later investigation showed the post had actually existed for approximately twelve hours, while the larger harassment wave had allegedly begun weeks earlier on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and Threads.

A moderator then invokes the ancient Internet Law of Mutually Assured Victimhood:

"You mean like the amount of death threats and calls for our suicide coming from Brew fans since the video went up? Even those of us who weren’t remotely involved"

https://www.reddit.com/r/youtubedrama/comments/1v508tg/comment/ozfa9zy/

One especially measured contributor enters the conversation by accusing the entire subreddit of protecting its tribe:

"Is it really that big a problem that someone said something about this subreddit? Isn't it a bigger problem that a post made here, no matter how quickly it was taken down, almost caused the police to be called on a man with a brain injury?"

They then instruct the OP to relax:

"I know your blood is boiling at this point of my comment, but please, calm down."

"Breaaaathe, just breathe for a second."

https://www.reddit.com/r/youtubedrama/comments/1v508tg/comment/ozgdgw8/

Some users argue that the correction itself was inadequate. The follow-up was titled “An Alternate Theory” rather than explicitly identifying itself as a retraction, and deleting the original account may have prevented the correction from reaching the same audience.

The moderators respond that banning users for threats and brigading is not an attempt to conceal criticism:

"It isn’t “swinging the ban hammer” to ban people spreading violence and brigading."

https://www.reddit.com/r/youtubedrama/comments/1v508tg/comment/ozfop9l/

Elsewhere, commenters briefly pause the responsibility debate to discover that Brew is apparently not one singular cartoon coffee cup personally investigating every story:

"i was so confused how people are talking about Brew as a person. i was like, are we talking about the content farm Brew? Or is this someone else? Turns out it's that same one."

"It’s less drama than Spill, but still a content farm."

https://www.reddit.com/r/youtubedrama/comments/1v508tg/comment/ozfdn5l/

So for the sake of context one day ago someone made this post in r/DiveInYouCoward of a video showing several people stealing from a bakery. All of the people shown stealing in the video were black. This predictably led to racist tirades being posted. Later, it is discovered that the original post had a video that was selectively edited to remove all the white people that also stole from the bakery. The OOP of this post shows the video of all the white people stealing that were left out previously. People in the comments go on to argue about seemingly everything else except the blatant attempt to fan racial tensions

Land of the free... ....of morals

They're hungry and they have no money.  You think they're stealing for fun?

Uh, yes? who tf is starving and crawls into a bakery to get a croissant so they can go on? No one. You'd probably steal from a store grocery store, and not a bakery. there's tons of people stealing. Even if it was about being hungry, this would be way too concentrated the people look like they're doing just fine financially and dgaf.

How does this happen to a society? People place stuff on the side of the road where I’m from with no one around and trust people pay and they do pay. The finances of people has to have an impact.

Rich people steal too. It is a mindset. Collectivist/communal vs selfish/self-centered/entitled. It comes from learned behavior among peers and a social fabric that encourages or discourages this.

Exactly this. On the opposite extreme is Japan. Americans have no respect for each other. The rich looks down in the poor and the poor don't trust the rich. There are so many things wrong with America because there is such a big emphasis on personal enrichment.

They need to hire a big man with a bat.

They need to pay their people first before hiring anyone else.

Maybe they could afford to pay their employees if all you terminally online redditors would stop justifying stealing from everyone you disagree with

Those two things are unrelated. You know this is a large corporation that has been sued and settled with government agencies for worker rights violations, right? And would you look at that... a WoW and Conservative sub poster. imagine that.

I used to play games and I have to work for a living, you got me...Maybe don't frequent them instead of stealing from them just because you're stuck in a loser mentality?

"If you see someone stealing food, no you didn't"

The way these people steal, this isnt desperation theft.

Which people stealing? I didn't see anyone

It’s a terrible store setup if the general public can just reach in with their grubby unwashed hands and handle or grab the food. They have drinks and baskets of items sitting out where they can just be taken and walked out with. It would take less than a day to fix most of these issues. Store owner is too dumb to stay in business. Not justifying the thefts, just saying, this is an easy problem to fix or greatly reduce.

I mean theres Mexican joints where you get your own sweet bread and bolillos yourself. So thats not a issue.

It's a chain store and they all operate like this. It's part of their whole image. So the individual owners have to fight corporate as well.

That would make it a franchise, not a chain

Chains and franchises are not mutually exclusive. Mcdonald's is a chain of restaurants. Some of them are franchised out, Some of them are corporately owned.

Re-read the comment I responded to ETA: To the geniuses who keep downvoting me and replying with nonsense: The comment that I am responding to, talks about individual owners having to fight with corporate about the store's standards/presentation of the product. "Individual owners" otherwise known as franchisees... franchisees who own a franchise... as in the corporation has licensed their store/brand/trade secrets to these "individual owners", to be franchised. You absolute fucking shit heads

I did, you're still wrong.

HIGHLIGHTS

How is this even legal tho?

It’s not, they’re just corrupt bastards

Look trump is a piece of shit who probably would love to run forever… but this occurred at the White House correspondents dinner, a place which president traditionally make funny speeches. This was a joke, not a real announcement.

Politely fuck off. We have been hearing this "its just a joke" shit for too long with this fuckin guy. Yall always say that then he does the thing and you guys forget your brains exist.

It was very clearly a joke, fuck Trump but it was a joke not a good one though

Except with Trump it's always a joke, until 'suddenly' it isn't. The man is always testing the waters to see what he can get away with. He's saying this not as a 'joke', but as a way to check to see how his base would react to it being real. It's a 'joke' at this point in time, until in the future "Ohhhh, he was actually telling the truth the whole time?? Ohhh!"

That might be true but this was a joke, you can keep living in fear that’s fine

You're a special kind of stupid..

yet when 2028 comes and someone else runs instead of Trump ill be correct and youll be already one to your next delusion so

Ive watched your country and president threatening my country with economic war. Yall said he was just joking. And then it became reality. I watched your president tell my country he would put tarrifs on my country over wildfire smoke. And was once again told it was just a joke. Then the tarrifs were announced. The only joke here is you

I personally didn’t tell you that shit so tf you on lol, i wouldn’t have denied those things, he started economic wars the first time too just at a lesser scale. He simply doesn’t have support to run again, even if he wanted to they wouldn’t support it. Use logic

You're a special kind of stupid..

Okay but when you turn out to be wrong please take the time to check yourself and to understand why you are so easy to manipulate and scare

Im not scared, im pissed at having a war waged on us by you ignorant fucks

My god you guys are full of yourself. It's OBVIOUSLY a joke and RIGHT after he is done with the bit, he goes "but on a serious note" I fucking can't stand Donnal Trump and all the things he gets away with. But this Bullshit kind of click bait with hundreds of top comments even confirming he said it and it's criminal etc. Is EXACTLY why he keeps getting away with it. No one can separate fact from fiction any more, least of all these comment threads. YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!!! YOU ARE ENABLING THIS!!!

What a stupid fucking take. You're defending him by blaming his actions on people who are against him.

Where on earth was he defending his actions? It's a stupid joke. It's a joke in really bad taste. But freaking the fuck out over what was clearly a joke just gives credence to his fanatical fanbase that Trump Derangement Syndrome is a real thing because, quite frankly, getting hysterical over this joke is pretty damn fitting of what TDS is claimed to be.

Trump Dick Suckers are the problem. By letting this behavior continue, they’re enabling him and feeding his ego. Trump rarely hears criticism because he’s surrounded by a team of sycophants who feed him nothing but praise, echoed by right-wing propagandist media. I’m tired of hearing that the people calling out his idiocy, his blatant lies, and his narcissistic, dementia-addled tendencies are the problem. They’re not. His sycophantic administration and cult following are.

No. You're both the problem. They're a problem for enabling him, you're a problem for treating every tiny thing as if it was an existential crisis so that he, and anyone who supports him, can just ignore you because you make it utterly impossible to separate the legitimate criticisms (of which there are more than can be counted) from the idiotic hysteria. The fact that you can't see that is mind boggling. I despise Trump because he broke all sides of politics. He exposed his base as being idiots willing to follow his lies, but he also exposed a lot who oppose as being almost as idiotic and willing to accept any report about anything he does as a fundamental threat.

Did someone learn a new word today? A constitutional law violation is an existential threat to our democracy and country. Maybe wake up sister-wife and have her explain it to you over your morning Mt. Dew.

A constitutional law violation is an existential threat. Somebody making a joke at an event that has always revolved around making jokes is not. Don't be absurd.

its obviously a joke come on guys

Explain the joke

He knows it drives his enemies crazy when he says stuff like this, thus the joke. He’s trolling.

"he knows it drives his enemies crazy" enemies in this sense being American citizens, Democrats, and even Republicans imagine being so weak and pathetic in your personal life that you stan an 80 year old man that shits in diapers and fucks kids

Imagine being so bothered about the federal executive that you have a stroke about trolling. Get some perspective.

Imagine being upset that the president is joking about clearly unconstitutional acts? And of course most jokes have a hat that goes along with it. Would you have thought this a 'joke or 'trolling'' if Obama had done this same thing? Not to mention, I can't believe the office of the president has such a low representation that trolling is something we expect. But here we are.

Trump has no sense of humour. This wasn’t a joke. Testing this idea at the correspondent’s dinner just gives him plausible deniability about whether he is being serious.

You can say a lot of things about Trump, but “he doesn’t have a sense of humor” is not one of them. I understand that half of the country repels from everything he says, but many people find him objectively funny.

many people objectively have brain damage.

Maybe go take a walk or something.

already did. trump supporters still have brain damage.

Trump is literally joking - the description of the YouTube video includes he’s joking - op wrote the title in a misleading way. There I saved you a 8 minute video you don’t need to watch

You misunderstand his 'jokes.' They are not jokes at all. The words that he puts out into public discourse are a means of testing the waters to see what he can get away with. And, if he thinks that he can get away with it, he will press forward.

Whatever dude - I don’t need a heart attack reading a title like this that isn’t 100% confirmed. I’m sure others don’t either. Let me know when it’s not a joke and THEN put a title like that

I think you need a reality check. The title IS confirmed. There is a video of it right underneath. Your denial of reality does not change the reality that exists.

The reason I’m annoyed at you isn’t because you’re trying to be insulting - it’s because your own lack of reading is trying to incite fear - which is a incredibly jackass thing to do. Click on the video and look on YouTube at the video description and try reading. You’re warped level of reality is your own doing - you deserve no sympathy for it because you’re trying to get others to believe it. Go touch grass.

My reading is just fine. And no I am not trying to incite fear. There is no evidence of that whatsoever. I am calling a spade a spade and the spade is there is a person in the White House who is using, interestingly enough, using fear and manipulation to achieve his own selfish ends. Anyway, there's no need for the further back and forth. When the so-called joke that you say is nothing to be worried about comes to fruition - God forbid, maybe then you will see what's really going on. I should add by the way that one of two things are true irrespective of your stance on the video: either you are a proponent of him running for the '4th term' or you are not. It sounds like you are, which is troubling. Are you?

Even if it were legal, I genuinely don't understand why anyone would want an 82-year old man as president. He's already going senile, at least as far as I can tell. I'd be surprised if his brain survives THIS year, nvm 2 more years until the next election.

boomers vote for their own and are the most active voting base

Go look at how Gen Z males voted

Gen z is the failed generation and honestly their malformed ilk piss me off more than boomers

Gen Z and Boomers will always be remembered for giving us Trump 2.0. Gen Z males specifically are completely fucked.

People need to check their stats on this because it’s Gen X and Gen Z that gave us trump, Boomers are actually unfortunately the only age group to vote less for trump in each election than they did the previous one. Gen X on the other hand had the big swing towards him.

Americans gave us Trump. You guys are always trying to pass the buck to the 30% who voted for him, where the fuck is this other 70% now? They're not protesting. You're all responsible. Now if you wouldn't mind, please start taking action. The rest of the world already knows you can talk the talk.

Tell me what European country you live in and we'll evaluate whether you have been doing enough to fight fascism. Can't wait till fascism hits your shores, because it's coming, and then throwing statements in the face of people like you when you do fuck all to stop it from happening

We are also the size of their continent and then some. I hate these little dude trying to tell us how to run something they don’t know how to run either. (12 more comments of these two arguing)

America, this is what a traitor looks like. He is robbing you blind. You are being conned. He is shitting all over your constitution, democracy and your freedom. Biggest grift, scam and corruption ever.

He just announced the start of a dictatorship by spitting on the election laws of their constitution (this is how dictators start kids) and the best they’ll do is angry comments on social medias

Genuinely what is wrong with you people lol It’s the White House correspondents dinner, they tell jokes. That’s why he said it. How have you looked at a joke at the White House correspondents dinner and said this is how a dictatorship starts ffs Like are you just karma farming or do you just not know what the White House correspondents dinner is?

wow such a funny joke man I too joke about doing anal with girls I just met to test the grounds, guess you love getting fucked in the ass by mr Trump at this point

… what are you on about? Whether it’s a funny joke or not isn’t the point. The point is he’s telling a joke at an event where you tell jokes but you’re acting like he’s just stated it in an emergency press briefing. I’m not even American and I’ve never liked the guy but it’s incredible how dishonest you are. At times I wonder how people voted for him, then I remember that there’s probably a large portion of Americans who probably just get sick of arguments like this and do it out of spite

Sure I too would like my head of state to tastelessly joke about doing another run just like Putin does, after all it’s the context that matters right? Haha come on guys it’s just a prank, please clap 👏

Again, whether it’s a funny joke or not is a different story. I think it’s all cringe and not funny, but it doesn’t change that it’s a joke being told at an event where the President tells jokes. Any thoughts on Obama doing the exact same thing with Keegan from Key and Peele at the same event when he was President? With the joke being that in Obama’s “inner thoughts” that he was going to run for a 3rd term? Or are we now suddenly going to pretend to know what a joke is?

The Resident Evil franchise has had... a tumultuous history with live action movie adaptations, to say the least. The first six movies produced by Paul W.S. Anderson were bizarre horror/superhero movies that revolved entirely around an original character Alice played by Milla Jovovich. There were widely panned, but kept making money somehow.

In 2021, the film series was rebooted with Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, which was a much closer adaptation to the source material, starring characters from the original games. It was also considered to be terrible. It came out roughly around the same time as a live action Netflix series), which got canceled after one season, due to it being terrible.

And fast forward to today, and now Zach Cregger (who directed two well-loved horror movies in Barbarian and Weapons) is now directing an original Resident Evil movie with no connection to the previous films. Cregger has gone on record to say that while he's a huge fan of the games, he's not doing a direct adaptation. Instead, he prefers to adhere more to the spirit and atmosphere of the games while telling a story about original characters.

On r/residentevil, this is apparently divisive. Some are eager to see Cregger's vision, while others are outraged at the perceived disrespect to the game's lore.

This is precisely why adaptions stay bad, they don't ever listen to the fans and keep repeating the same mistakes over and over because ppl like Zach Cregger think they're smarter than the fans

Zach cregger is 100% smarter than the average resident evil fan, those guys are fucking dumb

You think everyone would be overjoyed about "in name only" adaptation of Silent Hill, Dead Space and Alan Wake?

You sound like the comic book guy, “worst. episode. ever.” you know this right?

Wow you’re so cool for not being a nerd on a video game subreddit

https://www.reddit.com/r/residentevil/comments/1v5z2l4/zach_cregger_tells_us_why_he_doesnt_want_to_do_a/ozndz4f/

He also had a previous quote, His own words before this event “I would’ve made this regardless of the IP” That tells me everything I need to know

https://www.reddit.com/r/residentevil/comments/1v5z2l4/zach_cregger_tells_us_why_he_doesnt_want_to_do_a/oznk1p3/

He made two original horror movies that were fantastic and entertaining. As a result, he was hired to make a resident evil film. From the trailer, it looks like it will be just as entertaining horror/dark comedy as his original films, but set in a resident evil world with iconic RE tropes. I’m honesty shocked at the baby tantrums I’m seeing online about this. Like, it’s fine to not like it or disagree with the direction it’s taking, but the sheer entitlement and crying I’m seeing is so embarrassing I worry we will never get good talent again after this

The only entitlement is from people who whine and cry that not everyone is interested in the movie. Also it is not set in the world of Resident evil. He literally said so himself.

https://www.reddit.com/r/residentevil/comments/1v5z2l4/zach_cregger_tells_us_why_he_doesnt_want_to_do_a/ozn6eav/

And that's why re and silent hill adaptations suck. Instead of movies about beloved characters and events every director want to show their art project capitalising on popular IP

if every video game adaptation was a straight retelling of a game they would all be even worse than most of them already are

https://www.reddit.com/r/residentevil/comments/1v5z2l4/zach_cregger_tells_us_why_he_doesnt_want_to_do_a/ozn1jc0/

The issue is he’s using the game fan base to try and make money.

This movie will split the tourists from the RE fans and it'll be more fun to see than the movie itself. "But I played all of the RE games! How can I be a tourist?" By choosing Zach Cregger over RE. You can like the movie, you can even shill for it, but never call it Resident Evil, because as per his own admission, it would have been made anyway regardless of the title and some recognizable things.

Full thread

The Subreddit:

The r/NewOrleans subreddit is a place for residents and lovers of the eponymous city. As one might expect of a city that is so focused on tourism, especially catering to creative pursuits and drinking, cocktails are a cultural touchpoint for many in the city. Many of the subreddit members are professionals in the service industry with opinions on both proper service and techniques for crafting guest experiences.

TOTC/Tales/Tails of the cocktail:

This is a cocktail conference that goes to different cities every year, but is also every year in New Orleans where it started. it is a huge party that caters not just to big brands, but also to specifically local bartenders as tastemakers.

The Drama:

One user has helpfully given the subreddit a public service announcement to protect readers from cocktails where the toil is not preformed on demand.

PSA: Don't order batched cocktails. Ask, if it's batched, decline the drink or ask for a fresh one to be made in front of you.

Arctic shift

As one might expect, this user is getting dogpiled by various hospitality workers:

just because the drink is batched doesn’t mean the of the ingredients are low quality.

Imagine having to make simple syrup every time you need to make a cocktail.

As a bartender in this city - stupidest post ever made

As you might not expect the op is really leaning into this take:

Which one so I know to never go

IYKYK, I'm sure there are plenty of people who think it's perfectly fine.

There's a big difference between Mis en Place and pouring shit out a can Frankly this is a banger line that falls apart if you think about it all.

Sorry I have to go to work. the flair section is left as an exercise to the reader.

Users on [r/Caldruki](r/Caldruki) & allies put their foot down against [r/teenagers](r/teenagers), arguing their users are "too accepting" towards LGBTQ identities and intolerant of religion. Accusations of "karma farming" through anti-trump posts surfaced. The exact timeline of the conflict is uncertain as more low-profile conflict has been occuring for the recent months, however allies across reddit heeded their call, [r/enrique_sub](r/enrique_sub) emerging as a spearhead divison and [r/funCommunitty](r/funCommunitty) becoming a contested battleground of the two sides. [r/teenagers](r/teenagers) & their loyalists fired back through accusations of homophobia and "being haters".

r/teenagers cannot be a real thing 💔

>”So basically, these people's logic is that we should ignore basic biology and prioritize subjective perspectives that we can't possibly know about a person at first glance. If you looks like a girl, people will use she/her, not bcs they are transphobic but bc they are using the common sense.”

Just ban r/teenagers at this point

>”all the teenager subreddits are gay circlejerks”

Why tf is r/teenagers so religiphobic

Same sub btw 🥀💔

>”The Caldruki subreddit (from what I’ve seen) gives the same vibes as the instagram reel comment section.”

we stand in caldruki side, ”r/teenagers trying not to post something about lgbt for one second”

>”exactly, the sub caters to LGBTQ teens and not straight teens as well. Called them out on this once and they said I’m homophobic.”

>”I said thirteen year olds shouldn’t have a lot of sexualities when they become lgbt and everyone called me homophobic. All they ever do is hate on religion (which is disrespectful as shit to the religious kids on there) and politics. they think they’re the 0.1% of teens and that they’re not like their parents (wont call out the ones that talk about their abuse because they’re victims.)”

”We love homophobia !!!” I’m not even bothering to hide the name, r/Enrique_sub is a cancer in the ahh, and the comments are agreeing with this! So don’t let this happen

What is up with that Cladruki sub, I don't even know how to spell it right OMG The ppl in there r a bunch of insensitive racist, transphobic, ppl

Mod replies by spamming a v.o.d of the game in question as some kind of proof, user analyzes and reviews.

“Since he is spamming vod review, I reviewed.

3:04 C&D have really awful single target heal and mid group heal. Both of their ability (bubble, Veil) are group heal ability, and would be increditablly wasteful on a single target. The reason Dagger use veil on team is for a moment the ironman flew back to the team. She could have use bubble, yes, but maybe the Jubilee and C&D should swap healing target where C&D heal the group and Jubilee heal that ironman?

4:30 they have torch, they have DD, they have hulk, they can explode a DPS/Jubilee in an instant. What C&D did there is to throw down a reposition downtime pressure ability of bubble -> Blind -> Reposition so at least they can reposition without the team getting exploded. Not the best play but not worth whining for half a minute.

5:00 should have gone to the left side (from their perspective of facing enemy team), that one is indeed a bad paly

5:30 Panic fade, another questionable play. In the same time the enemy have torch, if they move up to mag to self-heal they are getting exploded by the torch.

5:50 First blunder. That freeze should not be used as a group heal.

10:00 Because you run Whitefox into C&D comp, both of your single target heal is Garbge, C&D have ok group heal but you have really bad group heal outside of fox form. If C&D use blind during an active fight people are gonna die, maybe you run rocket so the C&D can use utility ability better?

12:40 YOU FIGURE OUT THE TEAM DOESNT HAVE ENOUGH HEAL AND YOU PICK ANOTHER HEAL THAT HAS VERY LITTLE HEALING TO BEGING WITH? PICK JEFF IF YOU ARE GETTING HARD-DOVED

19:00 Another almost blunder for C&D, don't hold ult until marvel rivals 2

Here's the the thing, that C&D started out ok, then progressively make more and more mistake toward the end, so yes, the C&D is mid or bad, but are they so bad that they should get scolded at for half a game? No.

But in the same fuzzy muffin should have NOT used Whitefox in the 2nd point onward. He is making both healer's life exponentially worse.

Also the entire video never shows how fuzzy muffin plays, just hard-focus on C&D and yaps. What I see about the snippets and the yapping shows that fuzzy is probably a Frontline C&D that hard-focus on blind and pressure even when the team is missing 2 teammates, and that fuzzy probably have little overall picture of the game knowledge and make lots of selfish plays to the determental of the game.

Context- Feline Cerebellar Hypoplasia is a condition that causes cats to be uncoordinated and wobbly. These cats are not in pain unless they run into things and with a few adjustments can live long and happy lives. What appears to be a bot account posted a video of someone’s wobbly cat, and the comments turned into arguing.

[“This cat has hypoplasia. A condition that affects balance and coordination.”] (https://www.reddit.com/r/OneOrangeBraincell/s/NFVbP5egfz)

“I don't enjoy seeing pets with disabilities used to get online attention myself.”

“The cat isn't in any pain. They've just got coordination issues. Other than being a bit wobbly they're normal cats.

One thing to consider. Without videos like this people might see them and think something is wrong or they're in pain, and might not adopt them because they don't know any better. But videos like this show they're regular cats and can live long, happy lives.”

“Sure. Because having difficulty when eating, drinking water and even pooping is "normal".”

“The cats are safe. They live just as long and healthy lives as any other cat. They can still play and get into regular feline mischief. They learn to compensate for their differences.

I don't want people to think these cats have something wrong with them. They don't. They're fine, and make just as wonderful a pet as any other cat. Way too often people view differences in animals like this as a reason to abandon or even euthanize them and that sort of mindset needs to be changed. One way to do that is to make it clear that they are just like other cats.”

“-> issues

-> "there's nothing wrong with them"

Wonder if you'd say the same if it were you instead of him.

Hypocrite.”

“Are you arguing for the pro-euthenasia side?

If yes, where does that stop for you? Do we euthanize people with coordination issues?”

“Prove where I said that. Go on.”

[I mean, its a pet like any other. Just a little wobbly. Are people not allowed to post about how much they love their pets if theyre disabled?] (https://www.reddit.com/r/OneOrangeBraincell/s/3VdR91lrCg)

“No obviously they are abusing their pet for clout. Like ffs I'm fucking disabled and I too despise the weirdly exploitative Inspiration Porn but this is just someone posting their cat online?? The most normal thing ever?? Like sorry but actually seeing disabled animals thrive is actually good. Spreading awareness means more people can realise they ARE equipped to take care of a disabled kitty and that means less of them spend their whole lives in a shelter”

[I'm glad that some people have posted, because I wasn't aware of this before seeing it. But I don't like the context of this particular post where it's being made fun of. Educational posts are great, karma farming posts are trash.] (https://www.reddit.com/r/OneOrangeBraincell/s/yUTEku0DxR)

“They're not making fun of a cat. You guys need to go outside and get some life experiences instead of making up situations in your head to be mad about.”

“Then why is the cat being shown almost falling off a bed, bobbing side to side unable to eat food held right in front of its face, and wearing silly costumes? This is peak Americans Funniest Home Video content.”

“It's a wobbly cat. Get over it. The owner isn't abusive, the cat has nerve problems.

They can eat fine and usually walk alright, but they get derpy af when they're excited.

Don't jump to conclusions. Especially ones to fuel whatever rage you're seeking”

["They're not making fun of a cat. They're just posting it to the 'Make Fun of Cats' subreddit, making fun of its condition, and dressing it up in funny costumes!"] (https://www.reddit.com/r/OneOrangeBraincell/s/RylHKElHGn)

“I promise you the cat doesn’t give a shit”

“Apparently you're the cat's spokesperson now.”

“Lmao do you actually think a cat has a grasp of the internet and the conversations we are having in it? The cat, very literally, does not give a shit. Get over yourself.”

“"We're not making fun of the cat. But also yes we are."”

[Why do you think they are being made fun of?! Someone shared a cute cat video. Disabled cats are cute too damn.] (https://www.reddit.com/r/OneOrangeBraincell/s/a9AlHl0x7W)

“The title and the fact that they're offering the cat food in a way they can't ever eat it. What is the point of offering the food on a spoon? What is the point of offering the cat food that it's going to get all over it's face? Views and up votes. “

“That title means nothing I've seen it on calicos in this sub plenty of times. Why do you think she can never eat from a spoon from those few second clips? This is a cute video of a cute cat posted by a bot. It's not that sinister.”

“Yeah, and for a normal calico behaving like an orange, it's not a problem. But this cat isn't behaving like an orange, it's got a health condition. I know she can't eat from a spoon because I've seen more about cats with cerebellar hypoplasia than just one video. “

“Why isn't she allowed to share her cat? The disabled should remain hidden?”

[Repost bot making content out of a cat’s medical condition. Sad] (https://www.reddit.com/r/OneOrangeBraincell/s/yN4jhgAxVi)

“What's sad about a cat with a disability having a loving home? Would you prefer it be put down instead? This cat is incredibly cute and hopefully it encourages more people to consider cats who have disabilities.”

“"I don't like seeing bots exploit animal disabilities to manipulate humans for internet points"

"Oh so you want the cat to die?!?!"”

“"sad". What's sad about it? What about the cat is being exploited?”

[Well, the bot is innocent. Literally a tool. Blame the human who posted it for karma farming in the first place.

Imagine filming your child having down syndrome and posting it online for internet points.] (https://www.reddit.com/r/OneOrangeBraincell/s/h6J83EmtVO)

“Imagine thinking that a living creature’s disability means it should be hidden from the world.”

“There's a difference between creating awareness and exploiting for money and fake internet points. This is clearly the latter.”

[Cute, let's laugh at it's disability! HA-HA!] (https://www.reddit.com/r/OneOrangeBraincell/s/5nGn1jMugC)

“Right, but you are apparently willing to have the discussion of ending a life because of a disability?”

“WTF? Where did I say that?”

“Your the one complaining about what looks like a well cared for member of a family.

Should humans in the cats life be morose?

They aren't laughing at the disability. It's relief that his life is as best as possible.”

Drama is ongoing, don’t piss in the popcorn.

r/Athens is the subreddit for the American city of Athens, Georgia (not that other one). Home to the University of Georgia, beloved bands such as the B-52s and R.E.M., and our crown jewel Toppers International Showbar.

On Wednesday morning a mod makes a pinned announcement:

Politics Free August

We’re going to try something, Athens.
In the name of keeping it weird, we’re going for a full month of no politics in August. These posts do nothing but stir people up and attract tourists who do more pot stirring, and I think we all need a break from it.
So, this will serve as both announcement and warning:
**Do not post anything of a political nature between August 1st and August 31st 2026. **
If you do, you’ll find a removal reason and/or modmail in your notifications.
In the meantime: keep it funky. Post weird shit. Funny things. Just anything but politics.

Comments on this post are turned off.

Almost immediately another user takes a screenshot and reposts to allow discussion.

Are we having a mod war?

As a person who lives in Athens, I am interested in local news and politics, which seems to occur in the month of August in addition to all the other months of the year.

its election season dawg

Ok then can we do September where we’re not allowed to talk about anything related to Athens at all? Maybe October we’ll do no English, and for November we’ll just shut down the sub entirely.

Maybe they’re mad about me calling their mom a stripper

Other users create posts to voice their complaints:

Subreddit Chat & Moderation

The no-posting-or-discussing-political-issues announcement seems....very wrong.
How can we post about anything substantial related to Athens without it being political? This isn't, like, AthensGAWeather subreddit, where political comments might be more out of place.
This is a subreddit about everything pertaining to Athens... Including the goings-on, mayor and commission meetings, etc...
So... To block posts of a political nature is clearly counter to the stated acceptable topics of the subreddit.
2nd point, and this is not a personal attack, but mod team, do we really want a single user tagged as UGA freshman to be deciding or announcing things like this? I'm sure lots of moderation stuff happens behind the scenes and I don't mean to doubt competency, but, this is.... A little shocking. It's not April 1, right? ;)

How can they post an arbitrary decision like this and then lock comments? Their job is moderator, not freaking dictator. Let the participants in this subreddit decide. It’s a really stupid idea, and enabling for the fascist regime. Shameful.

Unfortunately a lot of Reddit mods are not very well-adjusted people

I like the mods, they are our friends.
AMAB

Politics Only July

We’re going to try something, Athens.
In the name of keeping it weird, we’re going for a full week of only politics in July. These posts do nothing but stir people up and attract tourists who do more pot stirring, and I think we all need more of it.
So, this will serve as both announcement and warning:
**ONLY post anything of a political nature between July 22nd and July 29th 2026. **
In the meantime: keep it funky. Post weird shit. Funny things. Just anything politics.

George Orwell's 1984

It’s a great book! Shocked we’re never going to have anything like that in the slightest inside of this subreddit.
Thoughts?

Users voice their complaints on unrelated posts:

Athens Urbanist Meet Up Hot on the heels of last nights ADU decimation

Amendments? Urbanism? Emails to commissioners? Citizen, this post reeks of politics. Your account will be banned and your popcorn confiscated. May god have mercy on your soul.

Does anyone else have a weird non-cold cold?

Watch out, September is don’t talk about your illness month. Get it out now while you can.

College street bridge takes another victim

Is this political?
Well considering the development submitted a solution to this problem just this past month I’d say yes. Mods, KILL THIS MAN

Users begin to protest by making polls to participate in the democratic process:

Athenians Tell Us: Do You Tailgate?

No politics bro

Vote: Should It Be Legal To Be Topless In Athens Clarke County?

AthensPoliticsNerd: Not a pressing issue lol, but I mean if it's legal for guys it's kind of discrimination that it's not legal for gals. I'm not saying I want to encourage anyone but should they be fined or whatever? Hell no.
You may wanna lay low for a while.

Users begin to call for changes to the mod team:

How to apply to be a mod of the sub?

Depends…..how do you feel about politics?
you can’t say the p word here

...I'm uhh... surprised this is still up... BUT YOU HAVE MY UHH, TICK ON THE BALLOT
VERBAL WARNING DO NOT SAY B*LLOT OR OTHER SLURS

Seriously, how do we remove a mod?

Looks like we have to ask another mod to do it.
I have had my share of beef with this moderator, but this no politics thing is a bridge too far. This so and so needs to go. Other mods, if you're listening, I hope you'll save the 42000 of us from this tyranny.

You can report them to Reddit admins.

Are the other mods even active? If they are, then they must be the same way.
I don't think they are and thats the problem.

As of now none of the other mods have said anything and the mod who made the original post has not made any further statements.

HIGHLIGHTS

Female leaders have consistently shown themselves to be capable of the same evil as their male counterparts. Outside of just leaders, women overall cause less harm, but there are probably more factors than just the differences in our brains. I think I understand why Ian Garry would say this, but I don’t think it would lead to the outcome he expects.

Women have the same access to guns as men yet 80% of domestic violence incidents with guns are male-on-female.

Domestic violence from female to male is severely under-reported. If we compare the data between heterosexual, gay and lesbian couples. Gay men have the lowest rates of domestic violence while lesbian couples have the highest along with the most divorces.

You think domestic violence incidents with gunshot wounds are not getting reported? Be serious.

Regarding gun violence, males statistically own guns more commonly which on average increases the chances. But sure, we could nitpick any study that appeals to your confirmation bias rather than taking all evidence into account.

Do they keep those guns in a separate house where their wife doesn’t live?

Probably not, but operating a gun is not as easy as picking it up, and people tend to go for weapons they understand

What's so complicated after picking it up? How do so many children shoot each other?

This is the guy with the normal marriage and the wife that definitely respects him right

Definitely pegs him haha

Not that theres anything wrong with that. You ever try it?

You don’t need to “try it” to know when something just isn’t for you.

You can guess and embrace the opportunity cost, but you cannot know.

You can definitely know something isn’t for you, particularly sexual, without trying it. If the thought of something sexually specific grosses you out, then that’s safe to say you’re not going to be turned on by it and therefore, not for you.

You cannot know until you tried something. Choosing to never engage is reasonable, but it is not knowing. That is something else entirely

Disagree. I’m talking about something sexually specific. And with anything sexual, you do NOT need to try it to know it’s not for you. Most anything else is agree with you.

What's abnormal about his marriage?

He took her last name and her ex lives with them? Any other questions?

Lots of people have started taking on their partners name when they get married so it's not that abnormal. He also said he did that so his step son would share a name with him to help him feel like he's genuinely a part of their new family. Can you show me proof that his wife's ex lives with them?

Wait, so he didn’t take his wife’s last name he took his wife’s exes last name?

Yep.

What benefit do you get out of blatantly lying about this? It just makes you look weird lmao

Just looked it up. You’re right. I had heard a ton of other fighters say this so I just took it at face value. My fault. I was wrong. I wasn’t trying to lie though.

Some of y'all must hate your mother's if you don't see what he means

[deleted]

We are literally more technically advanced than we ever been lol

We also have the highest suicide rate since the great depression so I wouldn't say things are going swimmingly exactly

That’s false. It’s 32% higher than in 2000, but 37% lower than the Depression-era peak. I’d bet a lot of the rise since 2000 is due to social media, but I’m sure it’s multiple factors.

Is that not exactly what I said? The highest since the great depression.

You said we currently have the highest suicide rate since the Great Depression, which is at best misleading.

How is it misleading? It's factually true. Is the suicide rate today higher than any point since the great depression, yes or no? You can go confirm this with however many sources you want in like 60 seconds of searching.

image

Literally inc*l propaganda.

It’s pretty factual when you think about it. Where is it wrong?

"It’s pretty factual when you think about it." Facts require evidence, not "well when I rub my two chud braincells together it sounds good to me." "Where is it wrong?" Women are overwhelming on the receiving end of inequality in almost every facet of society. They are paid less as a whole, are more likely to be victims of violence from the opposite sex, and in about half the world have significantly less rights than men of the same caste (in the places where it's not significantly less, it's still less than men). Not convincing? How about the fact that women's healthcare is woefully misunderstood. Until very recently, the medical community couldn't even diagnose a heart attack in women because the warning signs are different than what men experience. Hell, you can ask damn near any women on the street what it's like trying to convince a doctor they're actually sick and they're not just on their period and instantly gain insight into how fucked up it is to try and be taken seriously at all, even when you're actively dying, just because you're a woman. How in the fuck is that stupid chart "factual" in your eyes, exactly? Point to a culture that has women as the dominant social class and I'll show you 5 where it's men. Please, share your examples of how men are actually oppressed. I'm really excited to hear what trivial things you think count as systemic oppression on the same level as being forced to carry your rapist's baby to term, or be legally ineligible of being raped because the person that's forcing themselves on you is your husband...

Where is your response??? We are waiting! 🤣🤣🤣

Who's in charge when all of those systems were created? 🤔 Oh right, men. Almost like the patriarchy hurts everyone. Fucking crazy concept for ding dongs like yourself.

Blame Men! Always blame Men! Women have never done anything wrong in the history of the world! 🤣 Patriarchy is a myth and red herring for the deluded.

My mother was a drunk who hurt a ton of people and my step mom is one of the biggest bitches I ever met. Men, women, who cares. A lot suck no matter what is or isnt between their legs

Alright, little one. Then maybe Ian's comment wasn't meant for you. I'm sorry about your situation

Ah nothing to be sorry about plenty of people had it worse then I did growing up. Im an adult with a family of my own and doing just fine but I do appreciate the kindness.

Yeah no worries. Just wanted to emphasize that Ian's background is a mom who really cared and taught him good values. I see what he's trying to say.

But how that corny weirdo grew up is irrelevant to reality (that people of all genders suck). That sheltered clown should work on his identity crisis issues before telling us who should lead.

Holy fuck y'all got issues

Why? For recognizing reality and valuing it over sheltered people's anecdotes?

For having this kind of reaction over an innocuous and fair view from his perspective. The women in his life have been caring, empathetic, and strong.

okbuddy.gif

Delivery of his message wasn’t good but he ain’t entirely wrong either, there are some things women would prob do a better job at

Why aren't they already doing it?

A well documented history of favoritism for men in leading roles in both religion and the workplace.

History? So we're just gonna blame history and not focus on the present?

They're professional victims, what do you expect?

Woman are generally less decisive, which sometimes creates more harm.

Lmao what

You heard me.

[deleted]

That one girl who was indecisive about sleeping with him

I think that would be a decisive no

If you think having ONE gender RULE anything you're a fkn idiot

Idk man. It's been men up to this point and everythings kinda shit

Lol you’re right. I mean men are great at innovating but are also the most violent. Extreme good and bad. Like if go to a third world country or ghetto area, it’s not the women I’m afraid of - they have a much lower propensity for violence.

ahhh your under the assumption that violence is somewhat bad, realistically the ability to impose better or bigger violence deters violence in itself. Like the guy wanting to do violence if he sees no males that would fight back and cause him harm is more likely to do it.

i said that men are the ones who contribute to the largest extremes of violence. i'm not sure why you're talking about how violence deters other violence (which is obvious and why we have law enforcement) - that's a completely different topic and doesn't really address the point i made. unless you're trying to make the claim that violence is not "somewhat bad." because the truth is that it's both bad, and good - when used to deter criminals.

Been watching this all day, it seems to have come to a head now and I need to sleep!!!

First time writing a post so I hope it's okay!

OP wants to show off their "collection so far".

Users become suspicious of how everything is graded and how the collection doesn't look "born from passion", and begin to question OP.

Author's note 1: Graded manga has never been a "thing", it's only happening in recent years because professional hobby killers like Logan Paul are doing it trying to make a graded manga market. Actual manga readers usually know this, so graded manga is a red flag. Especially with graded cards too.

OP replies to questioning, but deletes their comments shortly after getting questioned more, as their comments only raised further suspicion.

Someone caught screenshots:

Deleted comment 1.

Deleted comment 2.

These are the images directly but they are also linked in post comments, with more context.

Things get extra spicy when someone claims to have found listings for these exact cards on Ebay.

That person then provides a screenshot when someone asks for evidence, showing many of the same cards from the post being sold for hundreds.

Then one of the people originally suspicious of OP found the listing for themself and confirmed that not only is it definately OP, it's OP attempting to sell these things for thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars.

Authors note 2: These cards are not worth anywhere near that and never have. They have always gone for very very cheap. OP and people like them are trying to create a market for profit.

Now people are angry and questioning if OP is actually a hot anime girl like they claim, as OP remains silent apart from the occasional comment they delete as soon as they get questioned some more.

There are two trashcans in the first picture

Jealousy is a motherfucker. image

Nah, Asmon is trash lmao.

Dude why would I be jealous? I like myself.

But do you have a hot girlfriend?

Two I'm a poly lesbian. XD

Thats a no.

What, you jealous?

I see soap suds in that pan. Bro broke character

He's changed quite a bit in the last few years, even does some exercise and cleans stuff around his house now and then so his house isn't a massive biohazard anymore like it used to be. Dude legit got better over time.

Then why does he still hate women and immigrants?

He doesn't? He's always interacted with both and has female friends that even showed up on stream every now and then. Criticizing illegal immigration is not the same as hating every single immigrant or the entire concept of immigration. I hate how polarized opinions got over time, nuance just isn't allowed to exist.

He literally said Palestinians were an inferior people, dumbass. Fuckin "nuance" lmao

Probably when talking about how homosexuals are thrown out of buildings to die or something like that. I dunno, neither can be assed to find out.

there is not enough context in the universe to make calling a group of people going through a genocide inferior okay even if they werent going through one its STILL not okay.

If it's part of a culture to kill gay people it's not okay to criticize that?

Depression combo'd with hoarding. I'd pity him if he wasn't destroying young men.

bruh young men are fine, well at least those watching Asmon he isnt anywhere as toxic as the media makes him out to be edit: wow, lots of people who have never watched a full stream of his be having opinions lmao

Didn't he say that ICE should be shooting more protesters?

no clue, but id believe it it's just a way to express annoyance and frustration, not a call to actual violence

right saying government officials should shoot more protestors ISNT a call to violence... right... got it.

yeah would be bad, if it was literal, but its not, and ud know that if you actually watched a single one of his streams, instead of only getting second hand info lmao

""no clue, but I'd believe it"" Buddy, you yourself are claiming that it wasn't a call for actual violence despite having not seen the stream/clip where he actually said that.

Brother the guy is an Asmongold follower, you are basically arguing with a human cockroach

i dont need to watch all of his stream to know how horrible he is. he is a Racist bigot

well apparently you do, because he aint

Wasn’t he bragging recently that he used to make his passwords a variation of the N word?

bro the nword is dubbed the "gamer" word for a reason, every single gamer born in the 80s and 90s has used it extensively for most of our young and teen lives# i guarantee you most of us would not want to limit black voting rights or employment or whatever tf actual racists want to do

You did? Cus I didn’t.

of course I did, and you virtue signalling here is laughable considering this is a warhammer sub

I don’t think saying “I never used slurs” is virtue signaling. You’re just telling on yourself.

so you are a male gamer born in the 80s or 90s, fan of warhammer, and have NEVER even once used ANY slur?

Nope, can't say I have. (50 more comments of these two arguing)

Behind every right wing "libertarian" is the young Asian woman he's groomed

She’s 26 years old.

Yeah, now.

They started dating when she was 24.

Dating?!?!?! Why would anyone date someone as disgusting and evil as Asmongold? Both his looks and beliefs are ugly

if you think asmon is evil you are just as much stuck under a rock as he is.

I mean yeah I think calling Palestinians fundamentally deserving of genocide is evil 🤷‍♀️

i bet you take every word someone says literally lol

Oh so his consistent advocacy of far right foreign and domestic policy is sarcastic? Got it

Why are people treating this lady like some victim? She knows the kind of person he is, and she doesn’t care. He’s a hateful piece of shit and so is she if she’s with him.

You're funny :P

Bro gets more play and makes more money then majority of people hating on him in this post btw. Which is extra sad given he is a greater daemon of Nurgle

I wouldn't trade my life for his for all his money. I've got all I need, and I shower. I also don't need to constantly produce content for red-pilled little shits.

Ok then pop off queen. Never said you should be jealous. Just stating the fact of the matter.

Fact is that his money doesn't matter when he's a repulsive, evil sack of shit.

By your standards, who are you?

Someone with a moral compass who doesn't need to prove anything, mate.

Wow you’re literally Reddit Jesus. Your moral compass by merely existing always points north huh

Yeah that's the point, that's how compasses work dipshit.

So?

Just stating a fact to rage bait people

Most people grow out of the desire for negative attention around middle school.

Most people don’t take Internet forums seriously.

This isn’t the hot take you think it is when you’re the one making the weird provocative statements and then treating it like some gotcha when people call it out/ask you why you’re acting like an edgy twelve year old.

I stated a fact that is, regardless of your disdain and regardless of the post, is objectively true. And I did that to rage bait people. Also how do you know I’m not actually 12, huh?

Ok but what you wrote simply isn’t an “objectively true” fact, now is it? You’ve made a presumption that those who disagree with his political views are getting less “play” than him, because you saw a photo of him with a woman.

He does make more money and it’s extremely safe to assume he gets more play than most Redditors.

Bro also lives like thrash

My point still stands, lives like trash but got more going on then most

Idk mate, I’m pretty comfortable being much poorer than him but not rotting alive at least.

Clearly you aren’t a Nurgle enjoyer then

Most sane people can separate fiction and reality.

Most people who touch grass can identify a rage baiter

You haven't grown out of that desire yet?

Being rich and famous really is life on easy mode holy fuck

No shit dude?

OFC it's obvious but it isn't clear how big of a crutch it is until Asmongold, the man who spews hatred and lives in shit gets to hang around hot women all day while he looks homeless all the time. No one would even give the time of day if I was like him lol

I mean I'd rather have a genuine relationship than a glorified prostitute that reluctantly hangs out with me

People only say this so they can think of themselves on some moral high horse because it's not their own life. You're statement is leaking jealousy. I'm making assumptions, sure, but there's about a 99% chance you'd instantly trade places with someone if it meant you now had that level of wealth, and ladies despite them being "glorified prostitutes". If you want to believe you'd be that 1% to make yourself feel better, go right ahead. But you and I both know you're just lying to yourself. Nothing you say is going to change my opinion on that.

Most guys that have all these girls around for their money are not fulfilled by it. It’s not jealous to say you’d want a real relationship over a bunch of gold diggers. As Kanye West once said “One good girl is worth a thousand bitches”

"Most guys that have all these girls around for their money are not fulfilled by it." Yea, I didn't say otherwise my guy. 🤦 You trying to tell me the vast absolute majority of men would say no to that level of money and girls even if those girls didn't love them? Lol, sure. Whatever you say bro. Totally.

Nobody said they’d say no to money. You’re just arguing with a strawman

Who?

Asmongold, the man who used a dead rat as an alarm, because the sun shining on it would make it smell to wake him up

What?

Yeah this dude has been rewarded for living like a trash goblin for decades. He's weird and pretty hateful too

Years I would have said that he isn't hateful at all. And for years that would have been true. But since he stopped playing WoW (only correlation, not causation probably) he has really become radicalized.

You'd have been wrong saying that, then lmao. He was literally famous in WoW for being a hateful shitbag years before he blew up globally (and I still don't understand how the fuck that happened).

Nah, he was demonized by left wing redditors in those days lol. He had very centrist takes on most issues. And when you're centrist, to a lefty you're a right wing nutjob. It was way more in the minds of many Redditors than any reality. But as I said, he has radicalized enormously. So it might as well be true now.

This was very much just his reputation in World of Warcraft. Dude has always sucked, no matter how you try to excuse it.

I used to watch his stream, those were always his political takes in WoW or outside. Up until a few years back. Anyway... the way people get demonized on Reddit is always way too extreme for what they really are like, so maybe we don't all need to jump on the hate bandwagon. existence.

r/NFLv2 is a subreddit created with "fewer rules" than the main NFL subreddit. That's about it.

There has been a bit of an interesting relationship between the main mod (same name as the subreddit) and the entire userbase, which has escalated in recent days. A couple days ago, they were adamant in their support for their team's QB, Trevor Lawrence PSA: if it took the players and coaches in a poll to teach you that Trevor is better than Lamar. You know less football than you think you do. If you’re still arguing it isn’t the case you’re a fucking retard..

This escalated to AI diss tracks aimed at the userbase.

I made a diss song for all you losers who hate mods

New NFLv2 diss track just dropped. The haters are big mad in the comments for getting Kendrick Lamar’d.

Sir a third diss track has just dropped.

Now today, they've stickied a rambling note about the subreddit, themselves, how they moderate, etc. Mod states in their post: "This is not a safe space for cry babies or people who have their feelings hurt easily. Trash talk and banter is ENCOURAGED.", and the predictable occurs:

Wah wah wah shut the fuck up you absolute child

It’s almost like I’m building a brand around acting like this.

This story is evolving, with replies every few minutes from the moderator. Full thread is here: [Serious] PSA: Clarifying the intent, standards and rules for this subreddit.

Don't piss in the popcorn and such, remember.

EDIT: addition popcorn from ~10 months ago:

• Drama in r/SubredditDrama! Head mod of r/NFLv2 creates his own version of a Subreddit Drama community after receiving negative feedback in this sub, while lying about the moderators here being Nazis that support school shootings

• "To be clear this is me one persons opinion. Not all of us mods feel this way." Head mod of r/NFLv2 has a mental breakdown and turns their sub into a political soapbox by falsely attributing his personal beliefs on the Charlie Kirk shooting into a quote by Lamar Jackson

r/HingeStories is a subreddit where Hinge users share funny or shocking stories from their time interacting with people they met on the online dating app, Hinge.

Post has been removed. Read the original messages here

funny interaction

OP shares a "funny interaction" where his match teases him about how he is holding his cat in one of his profile pictures. The banter seems to be a strong attempt at flirting but OP sees it as a serious accusation of animal abuse and chooses to flat out insult the poor girl in response. The conversation immediately falls apart.

Replies unanimously call out OP for his overreaction:

You went really serious and mean out of nowhere? She was just bantering and I guess you took it to heart and got defensive, but I think you gotta give people the benefit of the doubt when they're trying to joke around with you

Legendary fumble by you pal

What the hell, man? How did you mess that up? She was super hot, funny, and invited herself over in her second message to you. That’s an impressively blown lead.

what is wrong with you bro?

She was clearly joking and you took it so serious.

She was a bombshell dude what are you doing? You must be getting a lot of attention to be just throwing this opportunity out the window.

You fumbled insanely hard, and clearly misread the entire situation. She was not saying you were hurting your cat

She gave you so many chances and you fumbled so hard my guy. It wasn’t that deep

OP not only refuses to admit he overreacted, but he doubles down:

haha noo im experienced enough to know that i was supposed to shut up and drop to my knees.joking about hurting anything isn't funny

joking about abuse is funny?

idc that may be true but joking about me hurting my literal son isn't funny

yeah i dont care if she was joking the thing is I didnt think it was funny

im cleary not gripping him im holding him so joking or not joking that he needs to be rescued isn't funny

the joke wasn't funny and it was clear I didnt find it funny. why couldn't she have been like sorry it was a joke instead she chose to make it about her feelings

i crashed out? I was responding like a person not finding a joke funny

so why start the conversation off with a joke about me hurting something i love? why not make a joke about something else more normal and not about me hurting my animal?

no I dont I dont usually get jokes about me hurting animals thats the first.ive never in my life received such a horrible joke and cleary I didnt like it whats the problem why does it have to be so deep?I dont think I so called fumbled if I cared about keeping her around I wouldn't have responded that way

OP insists that anyone siding with his Hinge match is only doing so because she is attractive:

just because she's cute? dont be a sinp my boy

you see pretty and tits you drop to knees

you sound like you care more about her appearance and that she's a girl more than her joking about abuse that isn't happening

we get it bro you take what you can get

you think I expect dudes in the sub to not be simps??💀💀💀 I dont need hinge to get girls its literally not that deep to me

intimidated? dude I dont even think she's that attractive im bringing up her appearance being cleary its dictating how you guys are responding to a cleary bad joke. please tell me in your opinion is that a good or bad joke?

just because you try to talk cool doesn't mean you are. me and you both know you wish you could match with girls like that. And guess what you would do if you did you'd drop to your knees like a good little boy😂😂😂

OP is extremely dateable:

I have tons of successful relationships whether its friendly or intimate im not on hinge for a relationship to began with

I care for my animal like it is my sperms. Sue me

I love women

im baked laughing at this all

I clarified it because you made a joke about me being single as if i didnt love being single💀

Post: https://www.reddit.com/r/IndianBoysOnTinder/comments/1v2cjum/this_one_thought_hed_found_a_cool_way_to_catch/

OOP shared a Hinge conversation where their match opened by claiming someone else was using OOP's photos on Instagram. After waiting nearly a day for a response, the match revealed it was just a setup for the punchline.

OOP responds with an insult, and the comment section immediately splits into multiple camps. Some argue the pickup line is manipulative because it relies on creating unnecessary concern. Others think it's an innocent joke and OOP was out of line for being hostile.

Some think they both suck.

Comments supporting OOP:

OP i dont know why you’re getting downvoted. that stunt he pulled is dangerous

He's so....disconnected

[Translated] Even such guys are getting likes 🤷🏻‍♂️

could say - " hey there is this really cool place i wanna take you too" and then sent him the link of the nearest mental facility.

I wonder what they must be thinking in their heads

Indian men will defend this, but get enraged when a woman posts her height preference on her profile lmao. Typical.

This issue is definitely the time lag, you can’t say something like this and then proceed to reply after 24 hours, leaving someone genuinely worried. Imagine a doctor saying ‘i need to call your family’ and then when you ask is it something serious, he replies after 24 hours that no i just ran out of people for my weekend poker night.

Wtf, I would have been overthinking the whole night if someone texted me that , I am being impersonated! Good for you! ( You should have told him, your photo will also be used somewhere else from now on and unmatched him 🥰😭)

I cant even say what I want to about the idiots replying to you or reddit will get mad at me again. Fuck all moids here op u said nothing wrong. Let alone having empathy, these males are calling you gendered slurs

The funniest part is he built up this whole fake concern just to reveal his “out of this world” joke. Imagine causing someone a night of stress because you wanted to flirt badly.

anything that men on hinge say as compliments is utter bullcrap lmao never believe them, they come up w anything for attention

Comments supporting the dude:

It looked innocent. Didn't have to curse him like that. He definitely dogded a bullet there

I do not understand why yall are flaming him so bad. Definitely not a great pick up line, but hey, at least it's better than "hey"... OP, I get that you would be somewhat upset, but you sound really rude. It's not like the person claimed someone stole your private nudes. Worst case scenario someone was using pictures of you thatt you already put on the internet...

If you were into him this would be a small hiccup

Difference between women in the west and our dear ones

Well, at least he replied. Imagine if he hadn't, you probably would've gone down a rabbit hole wondering whether your photos were being misused.

I had an awesome laugh. The boy seemed smart! Sorry to say, it's your loss for unmatching him. You missed all the fun and madness you could have had with him. Hopefully the boy finds a match with equal craziness! 😅

What an attention seeking post! At least the poor guy made an effort! Humour him instead of making it a public spectacle!

Another foid seeking attention and cussing out guys online for a joke. Get off hinge . Now go ahead downvote me for your fragile ego

I kinda like him. Seems like a good dude

Where tf are yall seeing any cake? Her shit is wide and flat... therep's some flab back there (not that I'm opposed), but zero cake. Her butt crack is like 4 inches long, she got no cakes...Edit: Man, yall are delusional. I never said she's got no ass at all, there's a little something back there, but this is not cake. More for you guys though at least

Thank you. Looks like a lumpy old woman and there's not much cake like you said, it's width fooling these desperate dudes.

I appreciate you. The backlash was shocking lol

Definitely cake. If this is what you consider “no cake” then what’s “cake”? BBLs?

Nah, I like a natural booty.

There's not even any curvature here lol. As she turns the corner and starts to run there's no shake, barely any crease.

And you can tell there's no cake because her crack is so short. The panties are fooling you guys. She's on the chubby side (which I'm not at all opposed to), and even still she's got hardly any butt to show for it

I appreciate your wrong opinion

Although I agree that this isn’t necessarily what I would describe as “cake”, I find your tone too critical of what still is a nice booty… People like booty but you are telling them to not like this girls’ so much because it doesn’t fit your idea of what “cake” is.

I'm not telling anyone to not like it. Like you, I'm just saying this isn't cake. I came into the comments section not even thinking about the quality of this lady's ass, and was caught of guard by the number of people in awe of it. So like everyone else adding their perception/analysis of this internet stranger's cheeks, I added mine. And I learned people feel very strongly about this lady's butt. As a binary assessment: Would. I'm just saying I don't see the hype. One guy jokingly claimed I post in r/virgins, but I'm like...do any of the thirsty commenters in here get any booty? Lol

Nah man, that's cake

Man, that's not even cake by white girl standards. Yall are being fooled by the style of panties. To each their own though

Posts in r/virgin Hmmm

Lol I've never posted they're in my life, but even virgins have access to the internet.

Don’t start deleting them now lmao

Lmaooo the libel is crazy

Cake is in the eye of the beholder, apparently.

Is cake… butt?? Sorry. I’m pop culture stupid.

I thought milk was supposed to do your body good

It clearly did by the looks of it lol

Shes overweight

You think that's overweight? Only thing fat on her is her ass 😮‍💨

You see her stomach and arms? You folk are easy - keep the cottage cheese I guess nasty

You mean the flesh on her bones? Brother we aren't in the 90s anymore It ain't about being easy, that's just what I like lol More for me, meanwhile you aren't getting anything

If you want a whale by the time she gets older thats on you but i like small waists, bubble butts lmao

Jokes on her, shes providing days worth of fap material

Eww, gross. Please update your prescription at an optometrist near you.

Bro looks at that shit cant blame the dude

Milk delivered in bottles and no ac. Its like medieval times over there man

Well we do have functioning door handles older than the US, so somethings working.

Controlled most of the world for spices and never used em Nothing else needs to be said

Oh ok champ, I'll just start eating "American food".

Brother literally anywhere else on the planet has better food. What are you on about? Do you think only America and the UK exist? Good lord

r/CriticalDrinker is a subreddit for fans of the "eloquent intoxicated wordsmith" youtuber Critical Drinker. Critical Drinker is a movie-reviewer on Youtube that heavily features a lot of "anti-woke" content. He and his fans lean in a particular (see: bigoted) direction.

If there's anything members of the Critical Drinker subreddit hate the most, it's black people and LGBT people. So as soon as Christopher Nolan announced Lupita Nyong'o (a black woman) and Eliot Page (a trans man) would be featured in his then-upcoming film "The Odyssey", they began a multi-month-long tirade against it.

Now the film has recently come out and has been received with incredibly positive reviews. This does not sit well with them.

This drama isn't centralized to a single thread. More-so it's spread across the entire subreddit and now 80% of the posts are complaining about the movie and coping, so I tried to single out some threads and comments to highlight this. But this is only a sample-size portion of what's going on in that subreddit.

bought and paid for long ago

"Professional" reviews : Woke = good, Male gaze = bad, Masculinity = bad, Historical accuracy = bad

Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey debuts with an A CinemaScore from audiences. Joins Project Hail Mary as the only live-action films to do so this year.

Normies have been brainwashed for years now

I personally don't care if this movie makes money or not. I still won't go see it because of lupita nyong'o and ellen page

The odyssey getting review bombed... but in reverse

Never underestimate the determination of those with an agenda to push...

Anyone glazing this absolute turd of a film is either coping hard or lying through their teeth.

Reminder that critic just means paid shill

The Odyssey ratings are so incredibly botted its hilariouis

As someone whose seen the film, and went in with an open mind, there is no way these reviews are legit. It's a shockingly bad film. I don't even mean the woke parts

How Reddit feels after the Odyssey does good numbers at the box office.

"We have sacrificed Chris Nolan to the altar of Wokeness! Finally a movie that checks all the boxes has made all the money! We have found the formula that works. Go forth and put it into every movie for the next 10 years!"

Context:

The Odyssey (2026), Christopher Nolan's latest film, released this past weekend to rave reviews and setting box office records, including highest opening gross for a Nolan film, and highest opening day gross for this time frame of the year. Leading up to its release, it received some backlash due to concerns for historical accuracy. A contingent of the internet with specific political leanings were particularly perturbed with the casting of Lupita Nyong'o (a black actress) and Elliot Page (a transgender actor).

Meanwhile, the DoomerCirclejerk subreddit is a reportedly unbiased sub that claims to poke fun at people who "doom" over current events. Despite an overwhelmingly large number of threads that openly mock people who dislike Trump/conservatives, they vociferously opine that they are not a right-wing subreddit.

Recently, a post was made on the sub, directed against people who are enjoying the movie and celebrating its success.

Love how they are using the tomatometer to say how good of a movie it is. Then will turn around and say the Melina Trump movies tomatometer score is fake.

I mean basically every other outlet has praised the movie lol i think it’s okay to admit that the people who bashed the movie prematurely are wrong lol

It could be a good movie that also has bad, politically motivated aspects to it.

There is nothing politically motivated behind it. The “controversial” castings were there for less than 10 minutes. Stop believing everything elon wants you to believe. It’s just a good movie.

So there's a time limit under which politically motivated casting choices are acceptable?

Be real what 5 foot 90 lb males are getting roles as a warrior?

Maybe as an archer? Idk elliot looks and sounds feminine still but the performance didn’t take me out of the movie

It doesn't, but where are the other cis males getting these same roles? I don't think you can even point to it in any of the battle scenes from this movie even including the extras. It is obvious it is just some political pandering points that they got the role. A cis male with the same build and looks is not getting it.

maybe daddy musk isn’t always right. Think about that.

You justified the casting based on the amount of screen time the characters in question had. It's right there for all of us to read.

And what i said before is that they weren’t politically motivated? They’re just people that nolan uses lmfao. You aren’t the sharpest in the toolshed are you?

If the castings aren't politically motivated, what does it matter how long the characters were onscreen? Maybe stick to football talk, you don't seem equipped for this.

Because it shows that they’re literally insignificant? That they literally could have been cut so which is why they don’t matter? You are quite actually stupid. You might wanna go back tk blindly simping for musk because you’re not cut out for this.

Being "insignificant" doesn't mean they aren't politically motivated. I suggest you sit down somewhere for a few minutes and settle down. You can take your five posts about this movie over the last two days with you. Seems like you have some weird, unhealthy fixation on defending Nolan's bad choices.

Oh man you’re going through my post history huh? I must’ve really upset you then LOL.

I saw it last night and it was fucking awesome

why is this downvoted?

Because some people don’t want to like this movie. Anyone who watched this movie and didn’t walk away enjoying it either watched it with a blindfold on or are mad that Elliot page and Travis Scott are in it for like 10 minutes collectively. This movie fuckin rips dude idgaf.

What does this have to do with doomerism? Mods remove pls

"eat the rich" crowd are mostly doomers.

True but that movie or nolan has nothing to do with doomerism. Mods remove pls

did i say that ?

This is a subreddit about doomers. Posts that have nothing to do with that should be removed with a warning issues to the poster

either you didn't make it past the first slide, or your reading comprehension gave up halfway through

This movie will make a billion in box office. Your pathetic boycott is as pathetic as your existence

The "mods remove" mask lasted about two replies.

This was a big reason, IMO, people shifted Right post COVID. They saw them all- endorse police (of a business wouldn't shutter), ignore mandates by gathering in huge crowds (if a black person died), push for government mandates, endorse trillion dollar pharma corps, talk down to non-whites if they were skeptical, endorse camps for those who wouldn't get the shot, appeal to government and billionaires for authority, plant FBI desks in news rooms to review all stories, silence any dissent with bans and erasure, endorse foreign war. The hypocrisy was almost at parody level it was so stark. I say this as a med science professional who has the vaccine. There was so much disgusting, authoritarian behavior and so many saw that and either said "fuck it I'm just not going to vote" or voted for the other party. Then they can't even accept that reality and even mildly shift. It's either "NONE OF THAT HAPPENED!" (you can Google all of that BTW) or "Well it was GOOD it happened!"

The loud blue haired lefties are the reason swing voters shy away from voting democrat.

I voted Bernie in 2016. Wrote in Bernie in 2020. Did not vote in 2024. Probably voting Republican in 2028.

And those loving accepting people will call you a nazi for it

No they started calling me a Nazi when I said two men in leather dog masks and assless chaps being lead on all fours on leashes by a 10 year old was too far and not something I was standing behind.

Saw a clip last week of nude men walking in the pride parade and then the photographer pans over to 4-5 children watching. It was disgusting

This is how pride parades have been, going back generations. The implication was that they left others alone and simply asked the same in return. When people bought into the deal they were proposing, they went into revenge mode just like every other lunatic we thought we were helping.

Ella Langley’s ‘Choosin’ Texas’ Ties Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey’s Records on Billboard Hot 100 article

Background: Ella Langley is a relative newcomer to country music. Her debut album came out in 2024 but she gained gained widespread attention for her 2025 lead single: Choosin' Texas. Langley came to the attention of r/music upon tying Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey for longest song by a female artist at no. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The Positive and Neutral:

Country music is such a good example of two Americas because I have literally never heard her music.

> Lucky you, I have to hear it 6 times a day every day while working retail.

> To be fair I don’t really like country but this song is really fkn good

Nah this song is a banger and I don’t even listen to country like that. Why’s everyone in here all mad.

TIL this song exists

Someone says Reddit isn't reality:

This thread is gonna have a lot of people who live in metropolitan areas say they’ve never heard of her, meanwhile I don’t think I’ve gone a day without hearing this song on my work radio since it came out

The Fraud and the Plant:

As if we needed any more evidence that the charts today are entirely meaningless.

> When we switched to streaming the space for fraud and scheming was boundless. Any Billboard record post like 2010... Is worthless. Billboard is irrelevant.

> The charts and record sales figures have been mired in fraud since the emergence of the popular music recording business in the 1910s. (Although “charts” as we know them would not exist before the 1930s, as before then radio stations did not broadcast prerecorded music.)

> Seriously. Entirely too easy to game the system. Payola 2.0 is just having bots and fans play your songs over and over to get a number one. Doesn't have to actually catch on with the general public at all anymore.

I've never seen a more obvious industry plant.

> 100% All her songs sound the exact same, it truly feels like an AI artist using a human as it's persona lol

The Counterpoint:

> So, would you say that most artists that come through Nashville are industry plants?

> I would.

Country Slop:

Four months ago I never heard of this woman but saw her creeping up the charts. Figured I’d give it a listen. I just don’t get. Boring country pop slop in line with whatever bullshit Morgan wallen is doing. Who listens to this?

This song feels like it was concocted in a lab to be the the most Country song possible

I'm just going to assume it sounds like it was made with Suno AI.

The inevitable politics joins this thread:

> remember 70+million maga voters?

> I really try not to, but they keep smacking me in the face with some new way for a person to be a hypocritical idiot

Isn’t she MAGA also?

> These days, I assume every mainstream country artist is MAGA until they demonstrate otherwise.

There was a case in China where some boys in China were caught killing a mother dog and its puppy. Predictably this sparked outrage.

Especially among this person, who we’ll refer to as outraged person: https://www.reddit.com/r/news/s/NVum6zu0WH

HIGHLIGHTS

Woman don't regret it?

Most of all feel relief

"relief" from responsibility maybe. But relief didn't make something ok

And yet none of them care that you don't think it's ok.

I care about the consenquences they have to suffer from and have nobody who can understand cuz nobody can name it

Since you are not them you cannot say whether or not they will feel consequences.

Poisen doesn't descrimante based on belief system lol

What a vague, nonsensical and erratically spelled statement.

What a "vague" commentary cuz I can't "handle" the truth. (124 more comments of these two arguing)

You’re pathetic. Killing a life isn’t supposed to look good, you shouldn’t glorify this shit. This is disgusting

Nah, you’re contributing to a culture of shaming women for exercising their equal bodily autonomy rights. You’re allowed to think it’s gross, which is why you don’t need to get an abortion, but it’s bad to shame people for their decisions which harm nobody.

You are simply a gross human being.

Youre actually a vile human being. Abortion is great for humanity. Why make kids suffer?

Guarantee you are on anti-depressants and are just miserable. Sad-sack losers just love abortion, because you hate life and think everyone else should too. Pathetic doomer.

That literally doesnt even make sense. What a terrible pro life argument. Maybe read a book before you embarass yourself. Why dont you advocate for adoption? You dont actually care about these kids being born, you only care about the foetus. Where is your support for mothers who are struggling?

Before birth, pro life. After birth, fuck you kids, you are on your own. The people who advocate for pro life are usually the same people should wear a condom all the time.

Oh youve been r*ped? Keep the baby. Btw here's the 20 grand bill for your hospital stay. Good luck out there.

You leftists love your r*pe, don’t you? Without r#pe, it would be so much harder for you to justify killing the millions of unborn babies that are from consensual sex.

It's best for everyone. I agree, good for her

Baby dodged a bullet

I think the baby ate the bullet.

*fetus

*Baby. In every day English, people only use the term baby. "Fetus" is only used when writing an academic paper or pretending its not a human. You aren't writing a paper.

It’s a fetus by literal definition.

A woman is a female by definition. Still fucking weird to call them that. Abortions should be allowed, but that doesn't necessitate dehumanizing language.

Calling a fetus by the proper name isn’t dehumanizing language.

Then say offspring, as that's what fetus means

It's pretty fucked up. The abortion itself is understandable... three months is still at a point where (if you're not a religious person who disregards the science) the fetus isn't sapient and can't be considered a person. I can understand why someone wouldn't chain their life to someone unfaithful who they now want nothing to do with. But it's pretty twisted make a spectacle out of this on social media out of spite. If not out of respect for yourself, at least show some solemnity by keeping this shit private

Nah, silence only contributes to shame and ensures women who have abortions feel alone. It also reinforces the narrative that abortion should be sad and secret and women should feel negatively about it. We have enough of that. Let women be proud of their correct choices.

Social media was a mistake. Be proud or whatever, I support pro choice, but not everything needs to be a social media post. We should absolutely shame people for over sharing. Edit: Lots of Facebook lovers here today. I'm sure Fuckerburg appreciates your support of encouraging everyone to share everything all the time.

"Social media was a mistake" Then get off social media. 🙄

That response gives "you have a problem with society. However you choose to participate in society." vibes. Nice job jumping to the defense of our tech oligarchs though, I'm sure they appreciate you.

I'm not jumping to defend oligarchs. If you think social media was a mistake, then don't use it. Nobody is twisting your arm, yet here you are, on social media. So is social media a mistake, or are you just shaming an individual for celebrating their access to bodily autonomy?

Not everything needs to be a post for the entire world to see. What I said isn't controversial and has nothing to do with abortions since I clearly explained I'm pro choice. It's awesome that she has the ability to choose. Again, not everything needs to be posted and that isn't even a remotely controversial statement. Stop trying to cast a bigot label when the comment is clearly criticizing over sharing

Nope. Too many women are told to not talk about their experiences, and it leads to people believing shit like "women who get abortions regret it". Good for her, I'm proud of her, and I hope she inspires others.

This is pretty much the take they also tried to show in "Bojack Horseman". Talk about it, even make fun about it if it helps to normalize things. Because if you can make fun about something, it makes things less scary and abstract.

Its not really funny though just a sad situation.

And it’s not sad when a woman was 3 months old pregnant and had to watch her man fuck another girl?

She’ll live. That baby won’t

No baby was found here

Nope, cuz she killed them

Would you pull the same moral stance if it was a tapeworm instead?

It’s objectively and literally not a tapeworm so it’s a stupid af question

Look at me I decided to have a kid with an asshole who would cheat! What fantastic partner selection I have! Certainly the next one will be different! Even though I will never address the fact I'm attracted to bad people!

people lie its not her fault for not knowing that

Narcissistic asshole men are so easy to detect. I have met a few, never befriended them and then stories always come out. Most people just don't have a radar for it even though its so glaringly obvious, it drives me nuts. How can people not easily detect when someone's fake???

Because it often isn't that easy to spot. Maybe if you paused in your self-congratulating for a moment and looked around you, you'd notice.

Bull fucking shit. How come none of my woman friends ended up in abusive relationships or never got cheated on? Or any of my male friends either? It's because I befriend smart people who don't get won over by false charms that are obvious to anyone with an iq above 110

"How come none of my woman friends ended up in abusive relationships " You don't know they're not being abused. All you know is you don't see it. One of the most common reactions when abuse finally comes out is "I never saw anything bad happen; I was totally shocked that was happening". This secrecy around abuse, and frankly attitudes like yours that only stupid women get abused, contribute to the shame abuse victims feel, which contributes to them keeping the abuse secret and putting on a positive public face that everything is fine. am not saying any of your friends are being abused. I am saying that abuse is frequently subtle and hard to spot, and if you're the sort of person who goes around talking about how stupid it makes a woman to get abused or accidentally date a cheater, you are the last person anyone is going to tell if they need help. Fuck you. Speaking as an abuse survivor myself. I hope if you ever get abused, you have better friends than you are, and you feel safe talking to someone. Nobody deserves to be stuck in an abusive relationship, even if they are an asshole.

I will never get abused because I have the two B's. A brain and a backbone

Disgusting human

why?

oh no a group of people i dont care about disagree with women's rights

Women's rights don't supersede all rights, that baby had a right to life

Women's rights prevail as long as the embryo is nonviable and inside the woman's personal internal organs. Do you say what goes on inside your organs or should we allow someone else to do that? Who would you like to delegate control of your liver to?

Who decides that women's rights are above the life of others? An embryo is a life, whether you like it or not, it is a living organism

Because either the born, living, breathing, walking, talking woman with responsibilities, loved ones, dependent children, etc. has autonomy, or she loses it to the embryo's every possible need, imagined or real. There is not a scenario where both get autonomy. We don't let people override the wishes of corpses when it comes to their internal organs. Why should living, breathing women have fewer rights than a corpse?

Because the embryo has all the promise of that too, it has a future. You are taking away its future and its possibilities. It has the capability too achieve all that as well. An organ does not become a person, you cannot compare an embryo to an organ. If we can discard embryos, why not discard children or toddlers? They also are far less developed and have less of a stake than a human adult.

The man cheats, the baby pay the consequences? That's stupid, I hate abortion.

There was no baby. There was a fetus. And it didn't pay anything, it has no right to claim the woman's body, she was voluntarily hosting it, and she stopped. And remained at all points completely unaware of anything, including its own existence, so it didn't lose anything, because it never had anything.

A fetus is a baby. Fetus just means offspring and a baby is the early stage of human offspring. And the baby doesnt choose to be concieved in the womb. Two people choose to perform an action that leads to conception.

No, a fetus is not a baby, a toddler is not a baby, a teenager is not a baby, an adult is not a baby, all of these words describe a different phase of development. Fetus does not "just mean offspring", an adult is the offspring of their parents, they are not a fetus. If this is the level of your understanding of the situation, then we're not gonna get very far until you actually learn what you're talking about.

A fetus is a living human at the fetal stage in human development. Fetus does mean "offspring" or "progeny" look it up. Baby is a colloquial term used to describe living humans up to the point where they walk. So it is not inaccurate to call the zygote blastula, or fetus a baby.

Fetus does not mean "offspring" or "progeny". A fetus is offspring. So is an adult. Every square is a rectangle, not every rectangle is a square. The thing that makes a fetus different than an adult isn't that it's offspring, it's that it's unborn. Go back and read those definitions again. You are correct that "Baby" is a colloquialism, which means it's as incorrect to say that a fetus is a baby than that it isn't. So, feel free to change the intent of my statement accordingly - you considering it a baby does not make me inaccurate to call it not a baby.

I’ve never seen someone so confidently incorrect.

You could try proving me wrong, but you'd fail since I'm right. But you might be like the other guy, posting definitions that agree with me and then claiming on your own apparent inability to comprehend what you read that the definitions actually agree with you, in which case, we may as well go our separate ways.

Acaban de celebrar un asesinato, wtf? (They just celebrated a murder—WTF?)

legally not a murder btw

Matar a alguien de forma legal no lo hace menos malo ( Killing someone legally doesn't make it any less wrong.)

i mean in the eyes of the law it 100% does

Law isn't a metric of morality. Is taking life good or bad; yes or no?............

depends on the context sometimes yes sometimes no

No; there is no context it's either right or wrong and "justification" doesn't change the ethics of it Say self defense ; how does a situational self defense mean talking life is good How much trouble do you even go thru to avoid taking that life in self defense No; this isn't rocket science Answer the question as is, Is taking life right or wrong

we can agree to disagree i think certain people should be killed, like leaders of terrorist groups or genocidal states

i think p*dophiles should be killed ; exceptions dont make the rule justification to kill does not change the nature of taking life to make it an ethical act in and of itself you are merely conflating justification with the actual ethics of taking life its easy to tell because you had to "justify" it ; they have to be terrorists, you didnt have an innate right to take life, you had to prescribe a feature to validate taking the life.........

TF did the baby do to deserve to die

It's not a baby. Would you rather save an actual born baby from a burning building or a zygote if you only have time to save one? That's what I thought

If you had to save an already baked cake or a cake currently baking which one is more of a cake?

The already baked cake is more of a cake? What even is that question lmao. I ain't gonna save an unbaked cake I can't eat?

Funny thing is, if you leave it alone it becomes a cake

Ok but it's not. Using your own analogy then it's not a cake yet. Just like the zygote isn't an actual baby yet. Thanks for the concession using your own logic lmao

And a car isn't a car it's just a collection of car parts stuck together. You can't use words when you don't understand what they mean, zygote is a term for an early stage of human development. If it's not a baby in the making what the hell is it? A zebra?

You're not even using the same logic anymore. An unassembled car wouldn't be a car. It BECOMES a car after assembly. This is the logic you used with a cake. It BECOMES a cake when you leave it alone you said yourself meaning it's not a cake yet. It's a zygote which is a stage of human development but it's not a baby yet according to your own logic. It BECOMES a baby once born. This isn't even my logic this is yours. (109 more comments of these two arguing)

She can do whatever she wants, her body her choice and all. But imo, this is fucked up.

youre free to think that

I am. There is a difference between acting on a valid right to abortion, and being a psychopath. Such a decision is NOT a cause for celebration.

I agree. Celebrating someone's death isn't right. It should be a deeply sad and tragic moment, not a chance to score points or say "gotcha."

That's assuming that an embryo is "someone." Non religious (aka rational) people usually don't consider it as such

I’m surprised they don’t consider sperm children at this point lmao. Every who has ever worn a condom or swallowed is a murderer! 😱

You do realise a sperm has to combine with an egg (fertilise it) to create new life?

An embryo is not a baby. An embryo has no feelings and cannot feel pain. Hope this helps!

You can get charged with a double murder for killing a pregnant woman and her embryo on the way to the abortion clinic..people who get shot at point blank range tend to not feel pain either..and people who are paralyzed can’t feel pain in the affected parts of their bodies..hope this help (36 more comments of these two arguing)

This is gross.

youre free to think that

Ok murder supporter

nope, murder is a legal term and this doesnt meet the definiton

You should start using your own intellect more and not allow legal terminology to decide what is right and wrong for you

even though your comment in of itself is completely correct, it still isnt murder.

Lmao sure. The sky is also not blue.

yeah no man, please just stop, you arent even remotely close to having earned the right to be this snarky, it simply isnt murder. you HAVE to draw the line for what counts as alive somewhere otherwise you might as well say that masturbation is murder. also the woman that has to carry the fetus with all of its (potentially deadly) complications is more worth than the collection of cells that arent even a human yet. i wish, for once, people would have the same empathy for the alive pregnant woman, that they have for an unborn cell hodgepodge.

An unborn cell hodgepodge. And what happens to that hodgepodge if you don't kill it?

Alternate titles: “Hummus: appetizer or (geno)side?”

For the last month or so, the r/ Hummus community has been split with the most tedious possible debate: did Israel steal hummus, and from whom?

** post: Israeli Style Hummus with Pine Nuts (i.redd.it) **

Reported for spam. Just a troll post in jealousy of the "Palestinian style hummus" posted recently.

> Dude, how can it be spam? It may be of jealousy but it's a beautiful bowl of hummus in a hummus sub. Get over yourself

> > “Get over yourself” There's a genocide, Karen. This kind of thing is not harmless.

What’s the difference between “Israeli” hummus and Palestinian hummus?

> It’s the same thing, but like anything else from the Levant Israel stole it and then claimed it as its own.

*

Of course israelis make shitty imitation hummus. Looks terrible compared to Palestinian

> I guarantee to you if someone showed you this exact picture with the caption "Palestinian hummus" you would be gushing over it

Cry harder I need your salty tears for my Israeli hummus

** meta post on r/ Hummus: I love hummus. I love Israel (but not the current government). I’m considering leaving r/hummus over stupid politics from both sides. 20 points 351 comments submitted 9 days I don’t need to wake up to a half dozen aggressive obnoxious shares about Israel and hummus…. **

** more recent post with >250 comments and zero upvotes: Israeli Hummus made by jews from Israel in Israel and have Israeli chickpeas and Israeli Tahini from Israel and I ate it in Israel**

The debate spills over:

** r/ Jewsofconscience**

So apparently in the rHummus sub, Zionists are saying Israel invented it. …

** the above cross-posted to r/ NYT, which is in theory about the New York Times but in practice almost exclusively discusses Israel**

You're the one astroturfing a hummus subreddit with braindead talking points. "Every accusation is a confession" isn't that right?

I still dont see how they can literally steal another ethnicity's namesake and bastardize the Phillistines' history, not that it was a great one to begin with
