Came across a Reddit post full of people with the weirdest takes on porn & gender, I didn't even know these ppl & opinions existed, I need to study this more in-depth
??? how did porn do all that to him
sure ok, if that’s something that’s important to them I guess?
“the new drug” just makes it sound cooler, I can do the New Drug while high on some old drug? yes please
if she found out about non-monogamy she’d never recover from the shock
many such cases. but like I’m pretty sure some women also have “dark” kinks?
WOMEN DON’T DO IT
well then
hilarious drama going on on reddit, the least respectable social media site i use. someone goes to r/legaladvice with a question about a shitty interaction with a cop. pretty normal post.
some users replied with regular advice, but one r/legaladvice moderator came in saying it was OP's fault, defending the cop. when OP requested they "please read the post", they equipped their next reply with their little mod hat and told them that showing attitude would result in a ban.
after receiving hundreds of downvotes (and many replies, all of which were removed and banned), the r/legaladvice mod nuked the thread in a fit of anger.
so you'd think it'd stop there, right? well, that's where you're wrong.
there's another subreddit called r/bestoflegaladvice, where the more interesting r/legaladvice threads are reposted for audiences to take the piss out of. and of course, a mod throwing a tantrum and nuking a thread because they were asked to read would make that cut. so it was reposted! and of course, everyone started rightfully calling the mod a bootlicker.
people then started pointing out that the r/legaladvice mod team has cops on it, at which point, part two of the drama starts: some people are mods of both r/legaladvice AND r/bestoflegaladvice, and they get really mad when you call them cops (derogatory).
so of course, they take the best course of action, which is to angrily reply to comments calling them cops and then use mod powers to delete the comments they don't like, insisting that only ONE r/legaladvice mod is a cop, so it's totally fine!
the r/bestoflegaladvice thread was then deleted and locked by mods, presumably for "republicizing deleted comments".
the same thread was then reposted to r/bestoflegaladvice. again, the thread fills with people calling the r/legaladvice mods cops.
this thread was also deleted and locked by r/bestoflegaladvice mods.
but it doesn't end there! because there's ANOTHER subreddit called r/subredditdrama, where the juiciest drama from all manner of subreddits gets reposted. and you'll never believe what's gone on long enough to count as drama.
here, free from the shackles of reddit's legaladvice world, users were free to dunk on the mods as much as they want.
the r/subredditdrama thread was eventually deleted as well (but not locked) just because they don't accept links to nuked threads since the original can't be read, but thankfully, everything had been archived by that point.
and just because the streisand effect should never go unrealized, i'm reposting it here, to tumblr. who knows, maybe someone will bother to screencap this and put it on r/curatedtumblr, and it will eventually live on in reddit again.
as for OP, they reposted their situation to r/nostupidquestions and later posted this update:
moral of the story: never go to reddit for legal advice, because the legal advice subreddit is run by ONE cop.
r/legaladvice is famously full of cops & landlords. Ironically, the better subreddit with far more actual lawyers & adjacent legal professions commenting is r/badlegaladvice
I love r/AITA because it's like a digital art gallery with all the anxieties of suburban cis hetero America on full display.
The newest thing they’re obsessed with is fantasizing about bad things happening to “affair babies” (children born as a result of an extramarital affair). They’re having such a great time coming up with scenarios where they’d be in the right to completely abandon a child who knew them as a parental figure for their entire young life. It’s their favorite thing, right after getting really worked up over stories of fictitious women cheating on their perfect good guy husbands.
If anyone wants to see a different take on AI use in art by a professional artist who's firmly on the pro side, I recommend this Reddit thread:

And this kind of illustrates why coders might not inherently be able to understand the POV of artists on this. Copy-pasting code that someone else has written is just called programming. It’s a different mentality entirely. It’s normalized in the community to share your work, processes & knowledge online and even help others replicate your results properly.
sometimes reddit just leaves you flabbergasted, bamboozled and plainly taken aback
The thread is called “I don’t understand the Nandermo ship” and some of the redditors discuss the lack of chemistry between harvey and kayvan
i…
The horrendous take that chemistry is just “do I think these two should fuck?” aside (it literally isn’t and the Redditor ended up saying themselves that they think Nandermo portray a “powerful bromance”, which means they do think Kayvan and Harvey have chemistry),
every time someone says that romance would “cheapen” a friendship, I get the uncontrollable urge to rip my own hair out.
Guess I’ll go break up with my boyfriend of 8 years now because he’s also my best bud and us being romantic and sexual with each other cheapens the purity of our friendship!
