anyone here browses BeautyGuruChat/ter? its for discussing youtube makeup channels. back in the day it was great, it was filled with drama and you could criticize gurus and their content freely. it wasn't like those old ladies in gurugossiper and what not, BGC just called out shit and wasn't creepy about it. ever since it got replaced by beautyguruchatter its gone to shit. that place is BORING. drama channels are frowned upon, talking shit about gurus is frowned up, basically not kissing ass will get your comment removed instantly. nothing ever happens there anymore. even the circlejerk threads about jeffree star aren't as fun when you can't make fun of him or his appearance without getting deleted. they take insults/jokes sooooooo seriously now. mods there are 0 fun.
back in the day it was great because it was a place to hatewatch annoying people like Jaclyn Hill and what not, call out cows like ThriftThick, etc. Once in a while share a new youtuber that didn't suck or a helpful video. Now threads are things like "Jaclyn Hill bought a new house. Congrats!", "Jackie Aina does another sponsored video! Nice! I love POC!!!", "Kathleenlights releases another uncreative low effort video! Please comment about your anxiety!". its all the same shit. threads get deleted, comments get deleted, etc. not enough activity. mods are big babies, etc.

>>199140Pretty much. Around where I live there are frequent train suicides and they get posted as an update on the "reddit city board". … of course the ones saying how sorry they are, how it's sad whatever gets the most upvotes, god for bid someone complains/mentions that they missed a fucking plane because of it(someone did and they got downvoted), or just expresses annoyance at them. It's so frequent that I'm sick of that shit and have no sympathy anymore. I think those fuckheads that downvote are the people who aren't even on the trains and dont have anything important to do.
And the thing that annoys me is… I'll bet they're not even religious but are being so polite to a dead dude??
No. 199148
>>199143well, you can be nonreligious and have respect for someone who is dead and feel sympathy for the dead one's family lol. you're not morally incapable if you're not religous.
i do agree that reddit is soft and getting mad at someone for being pissed about train delay is retarded. people have places to be, and the person who kills themself knows that, so it's a dick way to commit suicide. ive seen people bitch about trains being delayed because of suicides on other sites before without getting backlash so reddit does have a serious issue.

I fucking hate AskWomen's nazi moderation policies.
>Oh, you said "karma whoring", even if it was just said in a general sense? Comment removed for using a gendered slur! >Oh, you disagree with someone? Invalidation! Comment removed.It's just enforcing the stereotype that every woman is a soft bitch who needs to be protected from anything that might make her 1% uncomfortable. Reeeeee! Like I get banning actual misogynists, incels, and trolls, but this is fucking ridiculous.

>>199156There are a lot of disgusting men who think that pedophiles are a poor persecuted minority and that porn is a human right. It's really obvious in any male-dominated sub.
>>199160Yes, it's like in old movies about Victorian ladies who had to be shielded from swear words from the rough men, or else they'd faint.

No. 199190
>>199179>>199180Kinkshaming is a very old concept that arose in response to proto-SJW and SJW spazzing out because someone likes something sexually that they don't. It's things like going to FurAffinity and bitching about furries, or going into a fic with a non-con warning and bitching because "OMG RAPE", or activly trying to ban BDSM porn.
It's been corrupted recently, also mostly by SJW who also happen to have a "
problematic" fetish or are sex-obsessed trannys, to mean you can be a disgusting sex pervert in public and anyone who has a problem with that is bad.

>>199037In terms of drama/lolcow sites, although it has some tie over with lolcow farms, then Kiwi Farms, due to the really weird and salty community and culture, the owner of the board, and the over focus on unconventional politics in the last year (basically went from a politically neutral lolcow site, to an alt-right site.)
That being said, the forum format does and has worked well for following lolcows, but the atmosphere of the community, and the discussion and quality of the threads can often be high quality, but due to the culture there and the tendency for members to get overly angry/offended at lolcows, I find that the commentary that the members provide can often be highly misconstrued or exaggerated to meet either personal or political bias.
Basically, the very odd and overly aggressive culture and the change in focus towards politics which are viewed as extreme by most of the population is the main reason for including Kiwi Farms.

>>199078gender critical is full of legbeards who are afraid of men and trannies. it's also full of wacko conspiracy theories. like i kinda dislike trannies and wish there was somewhere to talk about it, but i think people who post there have something wrong in their heads. lol

>>199616why do you hate a random website?
No. 199642
>>199616I really crave more places online to talk with likeminded girls. I grew up with 4chan and I got so used to being surrounded by hostile, hateful men that being on a female dominated website is like heaven. It's so relaxing and reassuring. I just wish lolcow was more active (it's not dead or anything but like I said, I'm used to 4chan). There are some other places I can chat with girls anonymously, like anon memes, but they tend to be too tumblr for me.
I don't hate reddit but it's the sort of place I only go on when I get linked an interesting sub. Then I'll read the top posts and leave without planning to go back. I'm not intimately familiar with the userbase so they don't bother me.
No. 199671
>>199586Haha I think the same thing happened to me, but the asshole was also downvoting literally every post or comment I made too.
Best thing to do is stay away from any of the default subs tbh. The more niche a sub is the more likely you'll find normal people on it.
No. 199795
>>199792I see so many butthurt brides in r/femalefashionadvice that get upset over someone else 'upstaging' them because "It's supposed to be MY big day, I'm the one who should get all the attention!"
One got really upset when nobody knew who the bride was because the wedding was a costume party and the couple arrived dressed as Elvis impersonators or something. The sheer stupidity of it all.
No. 199809
>>199792it's ridiculous. I post on subs like /r/BravoRealHousewives and /r/teenmom bc I watch trash tv haha and even in those subs, it's rampant with girls who are obsessed with their boring ass family lives. if someone on a show gets married, there's long ass comment threads where every member details their wedding or dream wedding as if anyone gives a shit.
when they manage to stay on topic and talk about a show, they comment stuff like "my husband came in the room while Teen Mom was on and he agrees with me that Farrah's a psycho!" or "my fiance enjoys watching Southern Charm with me and he doesn't get the appeal of Kathryn, he said she's not that cute!"…no one cares about your husband's opinion, ugh.

triggered. A lot of feminine spaces online have the most nauseating nicknames for themselves, their male spouse, or other people. Not word play, but just diminutive sounding shit.

It literally adds nothing to the discussion besides letting us know you're not single and what preferences your SO has.

>>199844Most the posts on /r/relationships are fake. There's a small subset of people who use that place for creative writing, whether is for "gotcha" gender politic analytics (ie, sub likes females over males), or just shitposting, a lot of the posts are fake.
Some are even recycled from time to time. It's still a fun sub to read tho
No. 199867
the defaults are 100% certified dogshit. somewhat popular/big subreddits require wading through shit but can be tolerable at times. smaller communities for niche things usually aren't terrible. the meta and circlejerk subs make it enjoyable.
i would not be surprised to find out there is a significant intersection between the users of lolcow and the posters over on /r/muacirclejerk. they're always (humorously) critical of all the stuff
>>199831 ,
>>199836 and
>>199809 talked about
i would say the worst thing about reddit is the political seepage. i just want to discuss my hobby without having to scroll through fifteen pages of "KEK PEPE.JPG CUCKED BY TEH DONDALDD XDDDD". reddit is probably the most popular and accessible forum for communities, but it really is an alt-right boy's playground most of the time, especially in the larger and default subs.
for a while, i almost exclusively browsed lolcow– maybe 2 years back? i enjoy lolcow's culture, but with the exception of very few threads in /pt/ and /snow/, the site has been moving pretty slowly as of late. i think board culture fosters more diverse discussion, but it oftentimes means a lot of bickering and shitposting as well. i think the nature of subreddit-type communities leads to a hivemind/echochamber setting, which can be annoying too.
there's perks to anonymity and psuedoanonymity as well. i enjoy posting anonymously on *chans, but i love seeing posters on reddit get called out for bullshit when they spout one type of idiocy in one thread and and another in a different thread.
when it comes down to it, most people use both to varying extents, so… ~le truth is the middle~ or whatever when it comes to this i guess
No. 199868
I genuinely like the parts of reddit I visit, but it tends to be a lot of smaller niche subs. Some true crime and smaller gaming subs mainly. Bit of news here and there. Some cringe, etc.
I think there's a lot of garbage on Reddit now, especially seeing how it's grown over the years. It's also got a lot more sjw types and their opposite counterparts that leak out of their subs every now and then which is pretty annoying.
>>199867/r/muacirclejerk is hilarious. I'm sure a lot of posters here would love it.

>>199912You will get banned from all Trump hating boards if you post on the Donald, even to troll. I think you get banned from one of the bigger boards(forget which) if you post on the Donald as well, you can make a sock account and try it out right now.
Anti Trump boards are full of paid posters to AstroTurf, go to the profile of some of the users and you'll find that they only exclusively post anti Trump things, similar to the usersof r/hapas, most are sock puppets.
