Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
A Long time ago, there was a sub called /r/onetruegod or something like that. They shopped the head of Nicolas Cage on every person on photographs.
A similar subreddit did that with the head of scary bilbo from The lord of the rings. (The scene were he sees the ring around Frodos neck). They shopped the face on people in porn or on pretty women. Don’t ask.
scarybilbo was a true gem
First and second one was pretty funny The third one is insane tho
Small dick problems. Insecure guys with tiny dicks.
Asian masculinity? Think it was called. it was the the most misogynistic hellscspe with Asian centric bias
/r/opieandanthony Vile den of shitposting for a dead radio show. Got banned after flying too close to sun. RIP 🙏
Crazyfuckingvideos and tooktoomuch for morbid people watching.
What a rabbithole
Not the wildest, but r/testtubebabes was pretty fuckin wild. It was about 50/50 whether the posts were genuine or just messing around.
One of the worst ones I ever saw was r/nomorals; videos of straight up assaults, murders, and all kinds of violence that actually made me feel sick. I'm glad it got banned.
The first one from the subreddits name sounds disgusting
Second one is gore in reddit
What was the first one about?
Photoshopped pictures of women, but they were turned into horrifying monstrosities. Like some might be missing arms, or have six of them, or their arms and legs might be switched, or they have no head and their face is in their torso.
Weird shit like that.
Oh
I can't remember which one, but there were a couple filled with crypto millionaire-wannabes with a libertarian slant that would share tips that always seemed off. And people in the comments would be so sure that THIS time it would be the big break if people just "hodl" or shorted a stock but were literally thousands in debt for investing everything in Truth Social. It wasn't r/wallstreetbets but it rose shortly after r/thedonald fell. That's all I remember because it felt like staring into the sun. *shudder*
Also r/detrans. What an enormous shithole full of people with awful takes and a conscious stream of hate. It had a huge slant against science and parroted misinfo about the human body and society, always punching down on trans folks, though they pretended not to. I know a few of them were detransitioners, but I'm convinced that the entire sub was planted by some conservatwat to rally hate.
the userbase of r/detrans prolly consists of actual detransitioners to the same extent that the userbase of r/teenagers consists of actual teenagers.
I remember hearing that r/teenagers is people under 13 or pdf files (ifyky)
That's what I used to think until a few of them shared their pictures and stories and they sounded believable so I don't think it was all fake. But that's all you need, right, just a couple of voices to point to, to seem justified in that ridiculous crusade.
right. it's not all fake, but the size of the sub is wildly disproportionate to the statistics we have on detransitioners (some of whom will ultimately choose to transition again, which is not reflected by the stats).
If they are disrespecting big L
Insane they are investing in a far right social media and losing money yeah they are filled with the most racist stuff ever
Right now it's canada_sub, which is a bunch of paid russian actors saying all kinds of fucked up stuff
"Canada sub" not rlly Canadian lol
:(
I believe it's actually swaying our election right now
That sub is a far right racist cesspit.
It's not only that, it's not even canadians posting the content
Really?
/r/Canada is almost just as bad.
Well lets not exaggerate here, at least half of the people in /r/canada are real people haha
On my reddit account I was banned from /r/onguardforthee and from /r/metacanada and /r/canadaleft are literal morons so I was actually posting in /r/canada a bit. I think lots of people wash up there because the moderation is intense on alternate subs
/r/canada has really relaxed moderation and I still appreciate it for that
/r/Canada is just as bad as /r/canada_sub a lot of the time.
I don't think you are understanding what I am saying. /r/canada_sub is ran by LITERAL RUSSIANS.
There was one where women shared stories of them getting raped, because they found this to be arousing. Most of the time, they were intentionally putting themselves in situations where they expected the risks of getting raped to be higher.
Examples:
I think they even had insider jargon.
Can't find it anymore, maybe it was closed. It's been a long while I've even went on Reddit at all.
Why put your life in danger just for a subreddit
I think the thrill and pleasure was what they were after. The subreddit was just for sharing and encouraging eachother. But yea, really dangerous fantasy to act on.

true
Surprised r/spacedicks hasn't been mentioned yet.
What is it about?
Never had the balls to visit, sending people there was a running joke, actually my highest ever post was a Fr Ted meme referencing r/spacedicks (the one we're Dougal shouldn't press the big red button)
It was mostly nsfl stuff from what I gathered.
Oh alr
e filled with the most racist stuff ever
Ehh the subreddit seems innocent some people backdoor the site to make the bots more nsfw (I think there was a system in place to prevent it)
Playboi Carti
Makes sense
I did think r/herion or r/drugs was wild. Posts of drug addicts.
Did reddit take it down
I believe they did for one of the subs but unsure which one
Alr
