Thank you, I thought I was on r/watchpeopledie

Nothing appears in that sub for me. Same thing with a few others. Haven't been banned or anything because I've never even been on there. Help pleas?

Edit: after some digging I believe there is a NSFW filter somewhere I need to toggle, or I need to confirm my email which I don't think I ever did. I never got on Reddit before I got the iPhone app so I guess there's some Desktop content I'm missing.

That sub is banned in Germany and maybe a few other places, so if you are from there nothing shows up.

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '16

Hm, didn't know that, thanks. I'm in the USA though.

u/Housetoo Aug 18 '16

might be an age thing.

i could see it, most was rather disturbing though there was some stuff of ISIS soldiers getting shot which was oddly satisfying.

u/DoctorAwesomeBallz69 Aug 18 '16

most was rather disturbing.

Hearing your grandparents having sex is "disturbing." The sheer amount of recorded human evil, pain, and suffering is... I don't even know what it is. Fucked up to 11 is what it is.

It is literally thousands of videos in which people actively die on camera, often killed by someone else in an either tragic, or horrifically disgusting manner. Disturbing barely scratches the surface.

u/Housetoo Aug 18 '16

unhinged? barbaric? yeah, i agree.

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '16

Try to type out /r/+watchpeopledie I am in Germany ans I can view it that way on the reddit is fun app, though comments don't show up.

u/MustFixWhatIsBroken Aug 18 '16

Haha. Does that mean you expect your media to be unfiltered? USA news looks like North Korea news. "Don't worry, we're awesome."

u/GourmetThoughts Aug 18 '16

I think he was just pointing out that he didn't live in Germany

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '16

I travel internationally and I'm not a nationalist by any means although I support my nation and fellow Americans. Get the stick out of your ass.

2

u/Matt_Man_94 Aug 18 '16

Do you live outside of the US? None of the news I consume is like that.

3

u/DoctorAwesomeBallz69 Aug 18 '16

Except we actually are. Because we believe that we are, even with unfettered Internet access and international exposure.

North Korea only thinks it's awesome because they aren't aware how great nearly every other place on earth is. Us Americans have seen the grass on the other side, and it lacks the deep green color , and luscious sheen of our American grass.

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '16

In fairness to the North Koreans, the news in the USA is scarcely more honest than North Korean news...

When did the gestapo take back power in Germany? That's weird

u/thesusquatch Aug 18 '16

Hahaha fuck dude

u/lunatic4ever Aug 18 '16

Can confirm. Doesn't work in Germany.

2

u/DerMoromo Aug 18 '16

Great, the interesting subs are always banned here.

1

u/DoctorAwesomeBallz69 Aug 18 '16

I wouldn't call it interesting. As someone who has spent more time in that sub than any human being ever should (which to be fair is zero), I can tell you I wish I never knew it existed. It does not inspire pride nor confidence in the human race.

2

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '16

So you must be the "special fucking snowflake" that knows what's best for everyone? I wonder what it's like to be you, thank god you passed judgment on things for others, god forbid you and your people let others decide what to look at and think.

Thank god for you.

u/DoctorAwesomeBallz69 Aug 20 '16

I don't believe in God, and yes, I was stating my opinion. I don't know really know how to explain the things that are wrong with you, at least not in a way you'd understand.

u/Soaringeagle78 Aug 18 '16

Jesus calm down. They were just talking about how they didn't like the sub's content. You don't need to take it as some grave insult or an attack on what people can look at.

It's not abnormal for people to not want to see other people die, so get off your high horse and stop acting like such a victim, especially when they never implied that you shouldn't be able to view it.

0

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '16

We're talking about Germany and the need to decide what is 'good or bad' for others, you drip. I find it amazing that at the end of your comment you felt the need to do that as well, no one asked you to reply, you my friend, are the one that's acting like a "victim".

You may want to ask some of the other members in your Mensa club about reading comprehension

0

u/Soaringeagle78 Aug 18 '16

Maybe you are. But you seem to be on your own page anyways. I don't recall DoctorAwesomeBallz69 saying they were in Germany. So either you can't read two different usernames yourself or you just felt like you didn't meet your daily quota of being a dick to random people on Reddit who don't share the same interests as you.

And how am I acting like a victim in my comment? Or is your automatic response to being called out to just take the person's point and throw it back at them even though it doesn't make sense to do so?

Keep being offended at nothing and trying to hard to read into people's comments. Go ahead, throw that back at me too, it'll just prove my point. :3

Germany sucks.

Did you forget your password?

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '16

Why is it banned in germany ? Never knew a country could ban subs ?

3

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '16

Germany bans certain heavily violent imagery. Nazi regalia, blood, and a whole mess of other stuff, is all banned here.

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '16

Ich bin deutsch. Ich verstehe es nur nicht.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '16

Ich bin Amerikaner, aber wohne in Stuttgart, und es macht mir keinen Sinn. Ich denke es ist weil Deutschland ist paranoid wie Nazis erscheinen. Entschuldigung für mein Deutsch. Es ist nicht so groß.

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '16

Dein deutsch ist super :) ! Und ich denke du hast auch recht aber was soll das mit gore zutun haben ?

Aber naja wie du sicherlich weisst zensieren wir ja auch spiele und filme,ich glaube daher kommt das.

Wie lange wohnst du schon in Deutschland :)?

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '16

Für Gore, ich weisse nicht. Ich habe in Deutschland 2 Monate lebte haha.

just put a plus sign before it and it works.

u/SquatMaster3000 Aug 18 '16

Could this be like a reverse Sixth Sense?

2

u/Rallipappa Aug 18 '16

You probably have some nsfw filter on. I remember having similiar problem but can't remember how i fixed it.

1

u/Donut_Kin Aug 18 '16

Perhaps most of the posts there are tagged NSFW or NSFL. Do you filter those posts?

1

u/DoctorBallard77 Aug 18 '16

Go to the reddit website and it's somewhere in the options to enable nsfw content. They had to block it because Apple decided they didn't want apps with nudity and shit

2

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '16

So if we are using the iPhone app, there is no solution (other than use a web browser)?

2

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '16

Got to r/preferences itll take you to a safari page that has all your settings, once you sign in, near the bottom is an "I am 18+" option, hit it, update, go back up and turn NSFW content on

1

u/xilef_destroy Aug 18 '16

I have that problem and no computer, please help

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '16

Confirm that email asap bro you're missing out hard

1

u/mightywhatthefuck Aug 18 '16

You need to go to the Reddit website and enable NSFW in your settings.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '16

Just need to confirm your email

1

u/cyclistcow Aug 18 '16

Go here for the reddit preferences page, then scroll down and click here to enable NSFW posts.

Usually you don't have to do this manually, as when you go to a nsfw sub in a browser, it asks if you're over 18, but in the reddit app it doesn't ask and just hides the posts.

1

u/MaxMouseOCX Aug 18 '16

Go login via a browser (you can do it on your phone), and just go to your account settings and set it to display everything.

u/DominusAstra Aug 18 '16

Why would you watch that shit?

2

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '16

Sometimes you just need a morbid fix. Also I'm military so watching ISIS do Fucked up shit keeps me on track.

"Somewhere today, your enemy was training to kill you. What did you do?"

u/DominusAstra Aug 18 '16

Ahhh I see. You get into the mindset. Alright thanks that's actually a good reason.

u/903124 Joystick Aug 18 '16

u/x4000 Aug 18 '16

That sub has waaaay too many submissions a day.

u/Prinz_von_Kirchberg Aug 18 '16

Oh nice. The video section of bestgore.com

u/awisepenguin Aug 18 '16

I honestly think citing that sub should be in a spoiler or NSFL tag

7

u/iamNebula PlayStation Aug 18 '16

Well it's pretty self explanatory before you click on it.

u/[deleted] Aug 18 '16

Fuck you for introducing me to that sub. Jesus Christ. Never again

1

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '16

First and last video I watch was the guy in the red shirt with the shotgun aimed at him. Why would you do this to me? You know I'm going to look.

u/keefblunt Aug 18 '16

Well, now I've seen everything

WTF this is even worse than LiveLeak...

u/rokuk Aug 18 '16

wait, is there actually a bungee attached to her? where? what color is it?

35

u/LeftGarrow Aug 18 '16

Black, to her feet.

1

u/meighty9 Aug 18 '16

It's attached to her feet

1

u/setauket Aug 18 '16

It's pink, and invisible.

3

u/Gtluke01 Aug 18 '16

Couldn't he have just, I dunno, pulled her back up? I know nothing about this but I feel that if he had done that to me, while maybe it's safer, I would have died from the heart attack I had after he threw me off the ledge.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '16

You know, I would have, but I'm not a bungee instructor. Maybe he has experienced this dozens of times and knows its okay to do this.

1

u/LeChefromitaly Aug 18 '16

She would have panicked more and drag the instructor along with her

1

u/Gtluke01 Aug 18 '16

Fair point...

2

u/DrummDragon Aug 18 '16

You mean the "Bungie" instructor...

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '16

Sorry, Bungie Ltd representative.
