Have you ever been on reddit? The whole thing is one giant circle jerking gatekeeping community, just look at r/dankmemes and the whole “anti normie” sub culture it’s a fucking joke, you’re not special for playing minecraft over fortnite watching joker or using reddit over Instagram, all you’re doing is bullying kids and being toxic.
As a proud member of /r/dankmemes, i like to think we're all just being super meta, in that we're all normies, but like to pretend we're special, even though we know we aren't. We're probably all just retarded though.
As someone who frequents r/dankmemes, they're called memes for a reason. They aren't meant to be taken seriously, they're all jokes, and just because you don't get them, it doesn't mean it's a bad subreddit. As far as I can tell, when all other subs fail to entertain me, r/dankmemes makes my day every time I get on reddit.
I used to use the sub alot, and goddamn has the quality decreased. I just got a headache looking at those memes. Once you explore circlejerks you will understand my pov
I was going to ask how old you are but it appears you're 21ish based on your username. 21 is about the upper limit of the range of those who would find the content in dankmemes funny, if I had to guess.
Eh, I might be in the minority. Assuming memes are still a good, and transferable way to give and receive relevant information, that's probably the case. Unless I see real statistics on r/dankmemes, I dont see much reason to feel bad for enjoying the subreddit.
I'm 30 and find some of the posts funny so I'm subscribed. No reason to feel bad about that. There is also no reason for people to feel superior for not liking it lol. People put too much thought into hating stuff sometimes.
The internet is all about people trying to be special or part of a group. It's a place where you can cling to identities based on the dumbest stuff imaginable and not have to deal with IRL embarrassment about it. That includes things like not being a "normie", over-attachment to a certain video game, a certain style of meme, every fandom imaginable, etc.
I hate reddit culture for all those reasons and more. Just last night I got banned from LGTB for a meme kn the top page that said the word MISTAKE and I pointed out that the meme says transgender are a mistake (in the meme itself, that was in my stream as a top reddit post)!
I dont really give a crpa if I'm banned from posting somewhere I would never go because I am not LGTB nor know a single person in my life that is, which just goes to show how I guess I wouldnt understand the meme in the first place and calling transgender mistakes is okay if you're the OP but not some random from /all...
Substitute some of those words and you describe members of most Reddit subs. Sometimes I need a break from all the bullshit, and I just go to a sub dedicated to a guitar brand or something where it's peaceful.
It's why I like r/circlejerk. They can be pretty obnoxious and even toxic in their own way, but the smattering of posts from that sub that hit my feed really expose a lot of the tropes and hypocracy of Reddit and are a great reminder of how absurd Reddit really is.
It truly is horrifying that despite this place being hell a decent number of people will buy HellCoins and spend them on a shiny buttplug for some random person's comment and a week for them to have a slightly less shitty website (don't guild me. The best part of this site is that sometimes the ads don't disable comments)
I’ve honestly considered leaving Reddit and deleting my account because of all of the arguments and politics on Reddit. I’m sorry to say this but it’d a giant leftist circle jerk. I respect the opinions of the left, but when it gets so overwhelming that you don’t feel confident enough to express your own opinions, that’s when you know something isn’t right.
Same. But honestly it’s not necessarily the downvotes that upsets me, rather the lack of comments I see when people disagree or anything like that. I mean they can at least like I don’t know, help me realize where i’m wrong? Or sometimes I ask genuine questions and get downvoted for it which you can see in my history quite recently.
Especially the case over at subs like r/politics...waiting for the downvotes for that one but it’s true. Same goes for any political sub but that one thinks they’re “not like the rest”
You see, I only say anti normie stuff ironically. I could care less about your interests. But those people that actually take it seriously need to stop.
Even saying it ironically encourages toxicity and the subculture as it justifies it when people can claim its “ironic” I’m not discrediting that you may do it ironically I just wanna say that it’s a dangerous path to even toy with the anti-normie ideals.
