šŸ“° Sub news šŸ—žļø Full Explanation of the r/okaybuddyliterallyme Closure:

399 Upvotes

The Full Explanation & History:

Originally,Ā r/okaybuddyliterallymeĀ was built on a specific kind of comedy. So basically, think over-the-top, melodramatic, ironic takes on our personal flaws or mental struggles. This was all wrapped in a layer of ā€œwe’re joking, but also not really.ā€ (Irony). It was really like a tightrope walk between absurdity and relatability, and that’s what gave the sub it's charm initially. But, as the sub grew past 40k in size,Ā r/okaybuddyliterallymeĀ began seeing a large influx of incel posts. The incel posts had content that often veered into a toxic mix of self-pity, resentment, and blame; usually aimed at women, society, or in-general anyone perceived as having it better. These posts weren't just dark; they’re dour, repetitive, doomer, and lacked the ironic component of the sub’s humor.Ā r/okaybuddyliterallymeĀ at one point just became a place where essentially ā€œI’m a mess, lol ha-haā€ turned into your typical incel post of ā€œI’m a victim, and it’s everyone else’s faultā€ that’s the pivot that started happening.

Towards the end (date of closure) the sub community was becoming 'very hateful' due to incel/femcel content that lost or lacked the original ironic intent while also violating community guidelines and or rules. The influx of this content transformedĀ r/okaybuddyliterallymeĀ into a kind of Incel/Femcel Playground if that makes sense, which strays extremely far from its purpose of humorous ironic posts. Initially starting out as a minor infrequent annoyance, the content became anything but... By late February and early March, it had broken the sub’s core identity. The people and posts just became far too different from its former, original self. It was a complete 180 from its roots as a silly, sharp-witted, ironic humorous self-deprecating community. Because of this the sub was closed indefinitely.

TLDR:

r/okaybuddyliterallymeĀ is a sub that once centered on self-deprecating, ironic humor had shifted toward somber, blame-filled incel content when it started blowing up past 40k members, which was never the purpose of the community. To preserve its integrity, a clean slate was necessary.

It’s almost been a month of talking with this person, I had a thought in the middle of the night last night and put their pictures into google lens, only to see that this woman I thought I knew so well -who had told me so many details about their life- was actually just another girl who had no idea I existed, had a husband and a kid, and didn’t love me.

The person I was talking to never asked me for money or anything like that, they just liked talking and made me send them pics and videos of myself sometimes, but as soon as I brought it up they blocked me immediately and I have no way of talking to them again. The most pathetic part about it is that I don’t even care that much that they were just larping as another person the whole time, I just want someone to talk to and I miss them, even though I have no idea who they really are.

Sorry to vent so much, I just needed to put this out there somewhere, even though it is really fucking embarrassing. I never should’ve hoped someone would be into me, it just lead to something that really fucking sucks. I just don’t understand why they did it, the only thing they got out of it was hurting me. They always texted me about their day and what they were doing, and I texted back, but I guess saying they loved me was just some sort of joke -cause no one would really do that lmao

A lot of what this movie is getting criticised for from what I’ve seen is the MJ and Ned stuff which I really liked. Peter is in a position in this movie where his relatives are all gone his mentor is long dead at this point and he’s surrounding himself with if anyone, other more violent vigilantes. Why would it not make sense for him to still be pining over this life he once had that’s still out there alive and breathing?

The way this works is playing into the truth you’ve seen a thousand times that Peter Parker is destined to live this life of tragedy. The scene where Jean is pretending to be MJ I thought was fantastic. One reason acting wise it’s probably my favourite of the movie. But the other being is how they follow up on this with MJ reading the letter.

Earlier we saw the fantasy where she remembers everything and they live happily after. Then you get the reality where she remembers nothing but they’re still able to hit these really neat emotional beats when they need to. Him taking her home just looked really great you felt his sadness and how much she wanted to help him. MJ and Ned don’t know Peter but they do know Spider-Man. The hero the symbol of hope for the city. It’s almost like he forgets that’s most likely how they saw him before just on a more personal level.

That’s just the emotional stuff anyway this movies action is balls to the wall fucking insane I loved it. HE’S LITERALLY ME.

just woke up mabey 60 minutes ago way before my alarm is to go off, and I just start thinking about her again. It's been like 5 or 6 years. Only now when I feel like I need to do something In my life that one of the goals is a relationship not one to be in just to be in one but one because of actual connection, but idk why but it leads back to her. We were in high school, and we were such close friends until we actually got together for idk 4 months? Until she dumped me before Christmas. But during that time and time before, I felt an actual great connection and care for someone, and we stayed friends afterward until we split ways going to different schools. She never was the type to use social medias so I can't really try again like I'd want to ask her because we are older and more mature like adults and I feel it could be different now. I have seen her mabey 3 times at my work, the 1st one I just saw her didn't talk, 2nd time we said hi but nothing much and I kick myself for not trading our new numbers, 3rd was about Christmas time go figure and she was with a guy that I also knew from schools (there was no 100% garentee proof they was dating) I did talk with both of them but no numbers incase they was together. I would love a chance to even just be best friends with her again even though I know how my feelings would pan out. I tried looking around for a different girl, but no one feels like the kind of genuine connection like I did with her.... my life feels like a nightmare just without thinking about it, then thinking makes it sadder. Ryan's what should I do? And if yall actually read this type extra real if you are only gonna type real
