I didnt fall down the alt-right pipeline, but it instilled in me the idea that I didnt have a mental illness, I was just looking for an excuse for my own flaws. I probably have ADD or something and i buried it for like 6 years until 3 days ago, and now i have to figure this shit out.
Also, yes, this page is my personal diary, what of it?
Tw for the replies. People are discussing weightloss like suckers.
What about r/fatlogic. It’s a bunch of people with eating disorders being fatphobic to strangers online to cope with it. The circlejerk they form is amazing, always end up mentioning their own weights so you can think they’re skinny.
Edit: and damn, do people not like seeing fatphobia called out? Why downvote when I tell the truth. I’m not making fun of EDs, I have one. Why else would I know how it makes you sound like.
I’ve spent a lot of time in the ED communities on reddit (I also have an ED) and none of those places were ever as bad as fatlogic/fatpeoplehate. even proed had rules against a lot of that shit.
I know. Redditors are the worst of every community. I’m not saying pro-ed are any better, but at least they don’t make fun of other people. It’s scary how such an obvious pro-ed sub it’s still given a platform, Reddit doesn’t care at all.
Fellow ed sufferer, I give you my strength (つ・_・)つ
Any sub dedicated to making fun of someone will inevitably swing right if it wasn’t rightwing already
It’s amazing to me that the stuff people post to forums like tumblrinaction are things that actually anget people as much as they do. Like why do people care so much about what some anonymous stranger is saying or going through. I’ll never understand why so many people get their rocks off bullying the posts of young people who obviously just feel alienated.
I’m way more concerned about the fact that healthcare costs are totally out of control and that the cost of housing has risen far faster than the rate of wages.
The overlap between the “it’s just a joke bro its satire dude get a sense of humor” redditors and the ones that go into screeching fits over teenage girls on tumblr telling edgy jokes has always baffled me. I kinda get that the upvote system encourages the strongest emotional reactions, but like jesus if seeing a #killallmen post distresses you this much why do you have a subreddit just for seeking those posts out?
Yeah, I was super into them and Cringe Anarchy (what happened to them anyways?) right before I realized I was trans lol. I think I tried everything else first, including being a ayn rand guy for a bit, until I happened on traa and then chapo through memes getting crossposted lol. I have pretty big problems with traa as a sub, but being huge and having relateable memes for young trans kids is admittedly helpful in cracking eggs
KiA was specifically recovered by the admins after the head mod shut it down a while ago, which is quite hypocritical when the official stance is “if you don’t like the way the sub is run go create your own”.
They know what goes on there, but until somebody shines a light on it in the mainstream media it’s untouchable, like /r/jailbait.
I don’t think anybody is surprised that reddit admins consist of white supremacists and/or paedophiles.
