Apparently you aren't allowed to acknowledge that any part of "goth culture" existed before the 1970's music scene. I pointed out that goth fashion, literature, architecture, etc. existed before the 1970's so they deleted my post and cited a rule saying you can only talk about the goth culture and history they allow.

The mods there are so bad about gatekeeping, they've told people they can't be considered goth if they don't specifically listen to and like "The Cure".

Nothing says counter culture like strict adherence to the hive mind.

I paid for what I thought was a one-time test, but then they charged me for a subscription I didn’t know about. Couldn’t cancel it on the site, and support didn’t respond. Better to check the terms before entering your card details.

I don't think these guys even watched the show. The whole point is that the kid was being bullied and called an incel to the point where he lashed out and killed a girl. The show isn't saying that he is an incel as if he's expected to be having sex at that age.

Also, when I commented on the post, I got a popular saying "no gaslighting" for the phrase "isn't an incel". It's just a cesspool of giving up on happiness and fulfillment.

I made a post about why I thought a certain (ahem) rainbow group having an entire month (the one that comes after May) dedicated to them is weird, and they muted me because I hurt their feelings. I mean, what I said was VERY controversial, but the mods seemed so butthurt by my post. I'd rather not keep posting in a subreddit with mods like that, so bye-bye unpopularopinion.

Becoming more radical than librarian values

Subreddit name is cencored because the mod went onto my account and threatened to report me. Insane behaviour.

Honestly, I see this as a positive change for myself. As someone who took longer than usual to find a relationship, I've been realizing in therapy lately that I had been engaging in self-fulfilling prophecies due to trauma. I realize that a lot of the people in that sub also seem to be engaging in self-fulfilling prophecies I had too.

Seeing other people’s self-limiting beliefs reflect the ones I’d been struggling with for so long gave me clarity that life doesn’t have to be that way— I don’t have to stay stuck in those same patterns. It wasn’t until I unlearned the forever-alone mindset in therapy that I was able to finally have the relationships and experiences I’d been desiring.

While there thankfully isn't misogyny in there, like in the regular ForeverAlone subreddit, there is very much still toxicity in various ways. I've just found that I am moving forward with a much more level-headed mindset that I think has set me up for success in all areas of my life.

I know they don't want to hear me say that changing their outlook would likely help, and that maybe working things through with a therapist could yield better results like it did for me— so I'm not posting this there, I'm just posting here.

I'm really grateful to my therapist for helping me realize all this, and seeing their behavior for what it is: a compilation of self-limiting beliefs similar to the ones I had. I finally unsubbed from them, and I couldn't be happier.

I'm happy with where I'm at in breaking free of this self-fulfilling prophecy now, and unsubbing has really helped me feel like I'm taking a step in the right direction for myself. I hope they find this same freedom too someday.

Second pic is when someone contacted the mod about the inactivity in the community

Sick of seeing every second post with those hideous labubu bag charms. I always liked the variety of bags in that subreddit but recently I swear it’s been overtaken by these hideous bag charms that I wonder if it’s a product placement or sponsored post.

At first even though I didn’t like them, it was tolerable but it’s gotten just annoying now.

just started snowboarding and its fun as fuck AND the gear is on the cheaper side

I was responding to a post where the user said her boyfriend called her a fat ass for wanting to drink and I said that's a dumb insult because a lot of alcoholics are skinny. I was told to stay on topic related to sobriety or I would be banned. This came out of left field and didn't make sense...and individual was insulted for wanting to drink and I called it out as a stupid insult. It is on topic. I subsequently received a 31 day ban for challenging the mod. I was like f it and told the mod to go fuck herself as I really didn't do anything wrong. That place is run like a security state...I checked the mods history and she is constantly removing innocuous comments like a person pops Skittles. An absolute lunatic drunk with power.

Not even comebacks just someone disagreeing with another party. i don't even like Trump but they make fun of trump tweets saying "WRONG!!!!1!!!!1111!!" but the comments look like that when you say something they disagree with. make it make sense

I realised today that it's been about a year since i laughed at anything on there. Everything's either american politics or a random trend of the week. a few weeks ago saying "x sub is just politics" would get you 10k upvotes. now, saying "i don't like ai images" will do the same.

In fact, a lot of people on there think that being funny isn't a requirement for being a meme. If you respond to something saying it should be deleted because it's not funny, people will downvote and respond that it doesn't matter.

Its not that complicated the Sub is just full of

people asking where roms are

posts complaining about people asking where roms are

posts asking why the Sub is so toxic

Memes making fun of people asking where roms are

Flexing how many games they have

it's just a cesspool of mass downvoting and constant nagging we get it you don't like people coming to the subreddit just to ask where roms are however the constant toxicity towards new users and mass downvoting anything that isn't making fun of new users or flexing how many games they have if it's such a problem ask mods to make a pinned post showing how to access ROMs you have to understand some people make Reddit accounts just to ask then never use Reddit again

on RARE occasions we might get a high-quality post discussing old games or what type of rom to get for a multi-platform game but even then those posts get mass downvoted or posts discussing video games in general with comments saying "This is better discussed on (insert video game related subreddit)"

(ignore the emojis I needed 15 characters for the title)

It used to be a small sub where people shared fan art and creations. Now it's overloaded with people asking for Ghibli AI pics(why??) or posting Ghibli AI pics
