I hate how you can’t type anything in the search bar without some depraved nsfw subreddit name popping up as you type.

And yes, turning everything into some lame sex joke is the peak of reddit scrote humor. That’s is exactly why I quarantine myself to FDS and a very small handful of other subs when I visit this place.

DancingCatflower · 2022-01-13T16:14:01+00:00

Ugh I absolutely agree. I was on Instagram right now and I saw a post by the official account of a MOBA game I play, asking “who would be -x female character’s- best support?”

The top comment was “your sister in a thong”

Things like these just make me want to never leave my home.

Just before seeing this, I saw a post about how p*rnstars often have life-long health issues or injuries from having rough anal sex. BUT... it was posted to MAKE FUN OF THE IDEA AS FAKE/BADANATOMY. Majority of the comments were saying it's impossible because some men fist each other. Other comments said "your vagina can prolapse too why aren't you worried about that?" 🤯 the absolute state of Peddit...

brylm92 · 2022-01-13T14:27:26+00:00

"hurr durr porn joke"

4.5k upvotes, 15 awards, every time 🙄

Seriously though, can we make a female Reddit? 🤔

Fun_Sherbet · 2022-01-13T13:45:48+00:00

I notice this too, it's especially obvious when you're accustomed to the quality and coherence of conversations on FDS. It like actually grosses me out how they're always trying to derail the conversation (a recognized sign of emotional immaturity). And I agree, their jokes tend to lack sophistication cuz they just recycle everything from the manosphere

SayNad · 2022-01-13T16:07:19+00:00

The mark of a truly funny person is the person's ability to make a totally clean joke - if the person can't do that, they aren't funny.

Dirty jokes are cheap and you don't need to think much - just repeat the same damn highschool fratboy bathroom joke and people laugh.

Meanwhile clean jokes require actual plan, knowledge, knowing the target audience - the whole work. That's why when you hear a good clean joke - it stays with you for years and you always chuckle remembering it.

Most men can't do that because why put on that much work when you can just joke about the dirty stuff? Meanwhile their joke never really stays because it is cheap and empty.

Women are funnier just by design because we don't and won't rely on cheap dirty jokes - because eww. We put actual efforts into making tasteful joke - so that's why it will be funny.

TheLastUBender · 2022-01-13T17:44:15+00:00

It's a circle jerk. Womens' subs are systematically shut down. If you go on AITA and have the misfortune of posting any dilemma as 'the bride' or 'the mother', 10k scrotes will tell you you're TA before reading the first paragraph. Meanwhile, all the degrading porn subs (even rape or 'cliterectomy' stuff - no joke), 'pussy pass denied' and posts showing women getting slapped by men are flourishing. It's not a good platform for women. Never has been. Has turned even nastier recently.

Can't be bothered with social media anymore, it's controlled and made by and for tech bros that DGAF about our lives or experiences unless it comes in the form of porn.

23eggz · 2022-01-13T18:24:01+00:00

I've learned that reddit is a much more enjoyable experience when you are only following women's groups :')

I only follow the fds pages on this account and femalelivingspace and thats IT.

I occasionally scroll the popular page but i quickly find myself getting angry and choose to stop for my own peace of mind

itsirrelevant · 2022-01-13T17:31:31+00:00

Men will break their backs trying to explain how women aren't "objectively funny" meanwhile men make jokes mostly found funny only by other men. Hard to see outside of yourself when you are considered the default human and you think the other half of the population is "niche" in their humor and thinking.

Couldn't agree with your point more. Their jokes are fucking awful and exhausting and how many times can one really find the thing humorous. It's like playing peek a boo with an infant.

Theboredshrimp · 2022-01-13T14:01:07+00:00

Women ARE funnier than men, and more women aren't in comedy because of harassment. I'm thinking of doing a small stand up bit, but its very scary because I know I'll be harassed because I'm genuinely funny.

I've been with men who are supposedly the funny one in their group, but I'd always lead the jokes and funny insights, and he'd be more a supportive role, adding to what I already created.

Honestly if I want to laugh, I seek out funny women, not men. Men always come in with a steaming pile of cringe, making everyone awkwardly chuckle.

Also I've noticed that men don't have good laughs? My most recent ex did this sort of fast inhale exhale, men don't laugh from their belly, only women do, it seems. I'm sure a weak laugh is due to a lack of body awareness and empathy...

fuckbeingautobanned · 2022-01-13T14:11:27+00:00

I wouldn't exactly say 'men aren't funny', but I swear to god that Reddit humour is dumb, vile and ignorant most of the times. It tires me endlessly to hear jokes at a person's expense ALL DAY LONG. Toxic fucks.

mothboon · 2022-01-13T16:59:40+00:00

I swear, it's like that's what men live for anymore.. to be the comedy god of the universe. No matter who gets thrown in the fire to get some laughs out of insane psychopaths littered across the internet. No joke too dark, too racist, too sexist, too speciesist.. there's zero empathy in jokes anymore. It's a fucking hellscape of unoriginality and mediocrity.

LadiesOpinion · 2022-01-13T14:51:29+00:00

/derailing semantics mansplain mode activated (where they always sprinkle in the word 'whom' randomly to appear more intellectual)

Technically your complaint has nothing to do with the social media platform Reddit, but with its main user base whom are writing comments whom you view as cesspool worthy and whom are subsequently being upvoted by said user base.

KindredMaximus · 2022-01-13T23:20:35+00:00

Empathy and porn. I think it's a chicken and egg conundrum. It's a downward spiral that degrades the further it goes. Did men make porn because they lack empathy?
When reading history - it's pretty clear to me that men have never had empathy. They've got a weird ''power at all costs" mentality and they think violence=power. The more violent they are, the more they are willing to annihilate = the more powerful they feel. With porn, we have seen the escalation of violence.
I watched a doco re the cesspit that NYC times square was, when it was all sex shows. You could literally go into bars and the live show was a couple have sex on the stage. Along with this came violent pimps, rapists, murderers, drugs and crime. Once the sex was cleaned up, so was the violence and crime.
We are the only animal who is remotely interested in watching others of our species f***ing and it's f***ing weird. You watch other animals around a copulating pair and they are just ignoring it. I have literally in my life never wanted to watch other people copulating. I feel like it's some kind of brain damaged weirdness but men see power in it and they see the opportunity to bestow violence and pain and that makes them feel powerful. And men love power. violence and money= power.

spiderunderweb · 2022-01-13T21:34:45+00:00

Bingo: the the hypothetical “what if” joke

What if they didn’t know What if it was a guy What if bla bla bla

Incredibly unfunny as they try get humour out of something that didn’t exist

Or second bingo: I find a comment about the woman’s body under 10 seconds of scrolling the comments

imnotfitforexistence · 2022-01-13T23:30:34+00:00

Exactly this. I barely read any comments or comment anything anymore on Reddit outside of FDS because of this. I wonder if they really think they're funny because of those ridiculous word plays. Men are not funny. Specially Reddit incels.

alpinepunch2021 · 2022-01-14T04:11:34+00:00

Reddit jokes are so unfunny, like it's not even just because they're offensive or anything (because sometimes they aren't), it's just that they're unfunny across the board. The problem with reddit is most Redditors (especially the ones who post on front page subreddits) just steal jokes from other people and recycle them perpetually. It's so low IQ and uncreative. I mean there's a reason cringey expressions like 'doggo' and 'pupper' and 'why does the narwhal bacon' and 'thanks for the updoots kind stranger' all come from reddit - it's general user-base is uniquely cringy.

Also I assume a lot of people on here aren't aware of this phenomenon because they aren't pornsick, but in pretty much every porn video on pornhub the top comment will be someone being like 'I just achieved XYZ in minecraft/fortnite!!!' - like, we get it, the joke is that it's a porn video but you're talking about some retarded game, why recycle this joke over, and over, and over again? Genuinely funny men (like the kind that make you laugh entirely independent of whether you have a crush on them) are actually really rare.

CountingDownTheDays5 · 2022-01-13T15:52:31+00:00

Reddit is mostly white American males in their 20-30's, usually leaning liberal, and middle class. It reminds me of Dave Cook in his prime or Pete Davidson. Other white men loved/ love them, but he simply wasn't funny. Can men be funny yes, are all men funny no.

randomgirl34861 · 2022-01-13T23:54:41+00:00

Also, people need to learn the difference between an actual quality roast and being just plain nasty. A lot of the time men think they’re hilarious but they’re really just mean spirited. There’s no wit behind their jokes.

BedazzledSwashbuckle · 2022-01-13T15:53:21+00:00

It's shady, but there are automatic downvoters out there for reddit.

I caution clicking on links here, but if you look for videos on Socinator (youtube), you should find some info on it.

greatornothing · 2022-01-13T20:32:30+00:00

The number of times I've gotten "Your mom" as a legitimate reply to my posts is astounding.

Constant-Wanderer · 2022-01-14T05:06:22+00:00

I hardly ever read the comments on any post unless it’s clearly not shitstain fodder.

PicoPicoMio · 2022-01-14T07:19:59+00:00

The funniest shit I’ve ever read has been on FDS. The women are hilarious and witty.

aquietsword · 2022-01-13T20:51:30+00:00

So I watch clips from people like Trevor Noah now and again and it's so wild how I legit just don't laugh now that there isn't a live audience cueing me to find something funny. I just don't laugh at the vast majority of these jokes anymore because men literally aren't fucking funny. I was just silly little sheep for a while lol

xfelugirlx · 2022-01-13T18:55:23+00:00

It all make sense when you see they are all guys and think racism, sexism is funny

StrawberryMoon3 · 2022-01-13T18:04:48+00:00

I've seen the same thing. Men are seldom funny, both in real life and on this site.

herbivorouscarnivore · 2022-01-13T14:00:31+00:00

It really depends on the subreddit. I’ve come across many posts where the humor is subtle: if you’re not well-read or well-versed in pop culture going back several decades, it’s easy to miss.

The only subreddits where I haven’t seen this are the ones for dating apps.
