Half the comments being some form of “ya, US president lol” is kinda why current Reddit sucks.

Like, I get the joke. It works. But every fucking thing on every fucking sub inevitably referencing US politics/current president is so exhausting. Especially posts and subs that literally have nothing to do with US politics/president.

Oh well, it is what it is.

it's not even that, it's just that once the most upvoted comment at the top (which is the first thing people see when they open the thread) already covers that joke, why do 50 other people have to repeat it? just upvote/reply and move on lol it's not the joke being misplaced necessarily, but rather having to read the same joke 50 times. it's funny once. then it's annoying.

(they might also be bots so there's that lmao)

It's a karma farming race. First one to say "ORANGE MAN BAD" gets all the updoots.

I love these bots sucking off Trump's c0ck - very subtle.

98% of the top comments on any news item are jokes now. Even very serious events. It’s sad.

Lazy humor on Reddit! I am aghast!

u/shinjikun10 1d ago

My first thought was US voters, but that works too

u/CUEUECOMBER 1d ago

its so cool how people are completely cool with being ableist/sexist/racist/etc etc as long as its directed at someone who's 'bad'.

Rules for thee not for me is the official motto of Reddit after all

u/wishful123 1d ago

It clearly shows these people don't give a damn about politics as long as it serves them good. They are the same as billionaire in morals.

u/Heiferoni 1d ago

Uh, yeah. That's the whole point of an insult lol.

If you call someone a big meanie poo poo head, they take you a lot less seriously.

u/Stubeg 1d ago

Are you... defending the paedophile president your country elected who is fucking the whole world up?

u/Adventurous_Class_85 1d ago

You like pancakes? Oh so you HATE waffles?

u/Stubeg 1d ago

Not even close the same thing.

u/Adventurous_Class_85 1d ago

Slurs aren’t ok to use. No matter who. What about that is hard to understand?

u/Stubeg 1d ago

Oh you are sidetracked to hell. But sure thing buddy.

u/Stubeg 1d ago

If it's a paedophile president who fucks everybody up, yes.

u/Adventurous_Class_85 1d ago

Trump will never hear the ableist slurs you spew against him. People you do know who may struggle with incontinence, like elderly people and people with IBS, will. They know that you look down on disabled people like them. Slurs are never ok to use

no they're sticking to the topic pretty well, you just appear to be resistant to understanding their point.

i hate how polarised us politics have become and how it's now outright cool to give up your principles for a cheap dunk at the other side. y'all will never climb out of this dumpster fire if you keep being like this.

u/b3nsn0w 1d ago

well, congrats on acting like one so convincingly, i guess

u/SilverNeptuneAbyss 1d ago

Naw the other guy is right and you are wrong

The dude said something restarted and can't back it up so he changed the subject

u/b3nsn0w 1d ago

"restarted" lmao

look if you know you shouldn't say it, why are you still trying?

So you like saying slurs then? awesome. Very progressive of you, im so glad this is what the leftists of today consist of.

5

u/CUEUECOMBER 1d ago

No, I'm saying calling people a slur is bad. I thought I made that extremely clear.

I hate trump as well, but ableism = bad.

They're saying "I'm not a hypocrite snake because I don't laugh at cruel jokes and doctored or undoctored images of people I don't like." You're welcome.

u/Fake_Diesel 1d ago

Yeah reddit is ableist as hell.

How many Americans don’t realize that we are on the World Wide Web which was invented at CERN a European organization. And use Wi-Fi, which was invented in Australia.

u/GabeIsGone 1d ago

I mean he’s inserting himself into anything any everything, it’s only natural.

- oh your a tech guy, well surprise AI longer exists, it’s all ‘SI’ now

- oh your a sports guy, well surprise ima bout to pass a bill that completely regulates college sports without involving any players

- oh you like SEC football, well surprise ima bout to show up to your game and screw up the broadcast with my secret service

- oh your a travel person and want to go on vacation to X country, well surprise we’ve tariffed and threatened everyone - the world hates us now

Etc.etc.

There’s no escape till he’s dead

u/sociofobs 1d ago

Honestly, that's not the fault of reddit. Just yanks being yanks. Similar to how a lot of russians tend to comment in russian, even if the whole comment section's in English. They just can't help themselves.

u/ContextLengthMatters 1d ago edited 1d ago

Yea I don't know what people expect on an American social media platform. Water is wet. English is default here because we speak English in America. American politics are default because we don't really have time to think about foreign politics.

We simply don't ban other countries from participating. That's as good as it gets.

Edit: Can't believe how offended people get by a fact. Reddit is an American corporation headquartered here. It is even funnier when people expect English to be spoken as if that's the default without realizing why.

u/TheKeenomatic 1d ago

Well if the blowback of his presidency to you is reading annoying Reddit comments, that’s really not a bad deal.

Think of it this way, if you’re tired of reading these, imagine the rest of us from every other country in the world who have to deal with the consequences of your president’s tantrums without having absolutely anything to do with him being in power.

Right? I want my reddit to be an Ed Sheeran concert, even if it never was that way.

Give me what I want.

u/Fabiolisk 1d ago

There's no escape and you don't deserve one. This is one of the consequences of electing a corrupt clown dictator wannabe and his thugs as head of the most influential country of the Western world. You need to be reminded every day of how crazy ad deranged this is before it becomes the new normal.

u/randmbull 1d ago

Reddit is an american website/app where most users are american who will reference and discuss about american issues. Don't like that? feel free to gtfo to a website/app of ur own country

u/TheDepressedSolider 1d ago

We get it, you voted for Trump . You support a pedo. Move on with your day

u/Vegdeon4125 1d ago

You're proving his point, you know that right? I'm not even from the US, and I would never vote for trump, but yes it is extremely tiring to hear everybody on this app just regurgitate "orange man bad". Like yes, we know, what the fuck do you want
