11 years ago+7 7 0A Proposal: A ban of bullying tribes
These haven't shown up, thank god, but I have no doubt in my mind that they will. For this, I'm talking about the equivalent of reddit's /r/cringe, /r/cringepics, possibly the circlejerk subs. I think we should ban this type of thing before they even show up. I have a few reasons:
1) I think these are killing/killed the reddit community. Over there now, there is no room to socially mess up. Yes, people will downvote you, but it has become acceptable now to witchhunt/bully/etc. Anything not in the mainstream is considered cringe. For those who have spent any time on the subs know that it has diverted from its original purpose. It has now become just a place to make fun of people who aren't like you. Its been a long time sense I've actually cringed on those subs.
2) Bullying shouldn't be acceptable. I don't know why the admins don't care about the incessant bullying that comes from their website. Its ridiculous. I'd even argue that its one worse than most websites out there who troll because, at least in trolling communities, its just trolling. However, with these type of subreddits, the intent seems to be real. They are there to actually emotionally attack the person. Its cyber-bullying in its purest form.
3)Image. This one is a bit more petty but very important for the website. I have a lot of friends who use the website and a lot who know about it. For the ones who know and don't use it they all give me the same type of reasons. "Because redditors are assholes" "Because they are all so mean" "Because they bully people" or my favorite "Because they are a bunch of nerds who like to make fun of other nerds to make themselves feel better". Thats what reddit has become known as, and frankly, because of those subs, its kind of true.
I guess thats it. We don't have to ban them. Just giving my 2 cents. Its not like I'm not for free speech (which is the reason people give for not banning the bad subs over on reddit). But, I'm definitely not for bullying.
