On AskReddit, lostabro33 tells the sad story of how he, er, lost a bro. The tl;dr version:
I lost a really good friend because he didn’t want to believe his wife was a fucking whore bitch slut cunt lying piece of shit.
Here’s the full quote. As you’ll notice, it has 1314 upvotes.
Yeah, that totally happened.
Is Reddit officially the worst place on earth?
(Sadly, I know the answer to that is no. But, damn, Reddit, you really to seem to want to take that number one slot.)
(Thanks to ShitRedditSays for finding this, er, gem.)
EDITED TO ADD: [TW: Child porn]
Speaking of shitty things on Reddit: There was more child porn up on Reddit, this time a post in r/videos with more than 900 upvotes and numerous positive comments, with a link to a video that showed the sexual abuse of a six-year-old boy. The folks in SRS have been talking about it; after numerous complaints from SRSers to the r/videos mods, Reddit admins, YouTube, and the FBI, the video has apparently been removed from YouTube. More details, and a link to the original r/videos thread, in the SRS thread devoted to it. There’s also a lot of discussion of it in the comments to this post here.
For obvious reasons I’m not linking the video, but here’s the SRS thread discussing it (which does have a link):

This isn’t a matter of we think there might be child porn somewhere on Reddit maybe. This is a very obvious and specific case.
Well, David, since it is a Federal crime to even look at CP, I will not go venture to substantiate your claim. If in fact you went to look at that video, believing there was child porn there, I would caution you that it is a federal crime to knowingly possess, manufacture, distribute, or access with intent to view child pornography (18 U.S.C. §2252)
Yeah, Cloudiah, that’s exacty what I said.
You’re fucking hilarious, Magz. You’re accusing David of committing a crime by watching child porn (which, I dunno about him, but I took people’s word for the video’s comments), but not at all concerned about the people POSTING it on this site you’re so happily defending, people who are not just DEFINITELY watching it but are CHEERING for it.
You don’t think that’s a fucking crime?
You don’t need to look at the video to know its child porn. You can just read the comments.
And yeah, child porn is an aberration on Reddit, in the sense that they don’t have it every day.
You want a cookie?
Me, I’m fussy and stuff, I hold my websites to a zero child porn standard, rather than a “like not too much” child porn standard. Fussy fussy, right?
Mags just sounds like Antsy now.
* Everything is just a feminist plot to destroy feminism’s enemies. (I’m sure the feminist cyber-ninjas will be murdering reddit’s sysadmins within the hour.)
* You’re just soo afraid of Us!
* Shifting goalposts, skewed priorities.
Boring! Get a new schtick, Mags.
HP, you can go ahead and manufacture arguments about things that I haven’ts said all you want. Got take your self created outrage somewhere else. You’re full if shit, just as M Dubs is. But, its worse than that, because you both are fundementally dishonest.
clearly its too strict holly! Your site can’t be considered A W E S O M E until you go easy on child porn!
*barfs*
Oooh, I’m so dishonest, saying there’s child porn in a place that there’s child porn.
Because the new meaning of the word “lie” is “anything that makes MRAs/Reddit look bad.” For example, direct quotes from Redditors are lies.
…I think your posts here might also be lies then, Magz, because geez.
You can’t even stretch yourself so fucking far as to say CHILD PORN IS BAD. I mean, wow, talk about a controversial fucking stance. Wouldn’t want to compromise yourself by making a concession like that!
Nope, Mags. I’m going to stand by my comment. And I’m pretty sure that everyone else on this site who is not a total piece of shit would agree with my assessment.
I didn’t watch it. There are comments that describe what’s on it.
You’re full of shit HP. No one has denied that CP is bad. You don’t like my argument that Reddit is not a CP mecha and that all the millions of redditors, which you happily slander, support CP. You’re full of shit.
Stand your ground M dubs, but please seek pshyciatric help. I mean, for our own good.
Yo, Magz, if you don’t want people saying you condone child porn, maybe instead of calling them liars you could CONDEMN CHILD PORN. Maybe even fucking do something about it.
Seems faster, you know?
…Hey, it’s a boy being abused in that video. And aren’t you mod of a community that’s supposed to be looking out for boys in situations just like this?
You really can’t think of fucking anything you could do besides troll us about it?
Due diligence, Mags. Before you claim that CP isn’t abundant on reddit, you might want to check your facts.
r/MR doesn’t (at least that I could see) even have a post about this.
There’s a post about “feminists attempting to ban urinals and force men to pee sitting down,” but this abuse of a boy right under your noses? Not nearly as important as Those Evil Pee-Controlling Feminists, I guess?
Mags will support the rights of men, but 6yo boys being sexually assaulted — well, that needs further review. Except Mags won’t review it either. 🙁
I don’t get grumpy terribly often Mags darling, but I think it’s perfectly psychologically healthy to get super fucking cheezed at someone who is currently DOWNPLAYING THE RAPE OF SMALL CHILDREN. I’m more than happy to retract my statements if you can just pull your head out of your ass and say that reddit needs to shut this shit down ASAP. Not terribly much to ask. Until then, well.
Let me get this straight HP, in order for me to say that the vast majority of the millions or reddtors don’t watch child porn, I should predicate my statement with a disclaimer (which is so obvious I wouldn’t think it necessary to state in civilized discourse) that I condem child porn?
Okay, I condemn child porn. I’ve never sought out or watched child porn. I hope you can say the same thing. In fact, any argument you proffer, I shall demand that such a disclaimer is made by you, or I will just have to assume you’re a child pornographer.
Now, why don’t you fucking admit that you are your friends here are slandering millions of redditors by implying that they watch and support CP?
Holly, I’m sure at this point there are at least a few r/mr regulars — I imagine at a handful of them actually read SRS — who are aware of this. But they haven’t yet, and probably won’t, post anything about it, because they hate SRS more than they hate CP and child abuse, even when a boy is the victim.
Well no it’s only certain men she cares about you know. The ones that fit her “ideal man” and anyone else doesn’t count for shit.
“…DOWNPLAYING THE RAPE OF SMALL CHILDREN…”
Are the voices in your head telling you that?
because you keep on confusing my statement that millions of redditors don’t condone CP, with my downplaying rape against children. you’re either being profoundly dishonest, as HP is doing (purposefully), or you’re quite insane.
Okay, fine. As far as I know, only thousands of Redditors (the video had well over a thousand upvotes) watch CP.
Sorry I don’t have a fuckin’ cookie for you.
