But face makes such a good knife holder!

But face makes such a good knife holder!

Among other things.

[Descan]

Douche-face is pretty much only knife-holder.

I was referring more to other things it's good for:

• punching bag
• manual brake
• hammer
• etc

nope

[Hanslanda]

Wow, I am surprisingly on topic here. I was just coming to post about my bimonthly visit to r/ShitRedditSays wherein the first link I clicked on was about another subreddit where a guy was taking pictures of his drugged sister-in-law and escalating the situation from there. .___.

... How many times have I said this now? I'm a felon, I have access to fire and a car.

Aim me.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

You really shouldn't trust anything ShitRedditSays either. While Reddit is bad, SRS is bad in a different way. They're a politically radical troll brigade accidentally spawned by SA's much more legit SRS getting overtaken by Reddit's worst critics.

[penguinofhonor]

And yet none of that makes the posts they gather less scummy.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Certainly. I just want to keep it clear that SRS is not a constructive group at all and mostly focuses on trolling, even if they recognize what is wrong with Reddit.

[Flying Dice]

It's still clear which is the more wretched hive, though.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

It depends on which wretched hive we're talking about. SRS is certainly less wretched than, say, MRA or PUA, but there are definitely a number of places on Reddit partly or completely divorced from the site's bigger problems.

[Flying Dice]

They're still few and far between. It's like saying that an opium den is better than a seedy bar because it has a few corners where there isn't someone passed out on the floor.

[Willfor]

I TEND to stick to lurking r/writing, r/fantasy, and r/fantasywriters. Possibly some overlap there, mostly safe. Also, for professional reasons, I check out r/audioengineering, which can sometimes get shitty, but can also be quite informative. r/AskHistorians is a giant time sink I try to avoid unless I have free time, and r/worldbuilding isn't active enough to be as much of a time sink as it should be.

And because SRS makes me feel a little too bad about humanity, I tend not to check it out except, like I said, bimonthly. It's a giant check against my own privilege, a service that is priceless to me.

I'm just saying you can't judge all of a distributed community by the actions of one or even many areas of it. It's the same thing as portraying all of 4chan as being exactly like /b/.

I wouldn't call the decent areas of Reddit few and far between so much as out of the way. It is hardly the first time extremely noxious areas of an online community have given the entire lot negative reputation. You aren't going to see sexism and "durr Friendzoned" bullshit on, for example, r/DarkSouls. It would be utterly irrelevant.
