Today, another lesson in how to get yourself hundreds of upvotes on Reddit.
It’s really quite simple.
1) Go to the Ask Reddit subreddit. Find the post asking Redditors if they’ve ever “tried a crazy urban-dictionary sex move? (e.g. Alaskan Pipeline, Komodo Dragon, Donkey Punch, etc.) How did it turn out?”
2) Post a story about a hilarious little prank you (allegedly) pulled on a sex partner that instantly transformed consensual sex into violent rape.
3) Oh, and throw in a gratuitous racial slur while you’re at it.
4) Then whine about how your partner’s negative response to your (alleged) little rape prank gave you “blue balls” and complain that you might have to pay her damages for “emotional distress” in civil court (allegedly).
You might think that this might be a bit much even for the morally undeveloped manchildren (and occasional womanchildren) who populate Reddit. But guess what? The poster of the tale in question got literally hundreds more upvotes than downvotes for his whiny “confession.”
Here’s the screenshot to prove it. (I’ve partically obscured the racial slur; click on image to see full-sized version.)
There were, of course, those who reacted like normal human beings to Mr. Dick Pic’s story. (I’ve obscured the homophobic slur that made up the entirely of his reply.)
Mr. Dick Pic was so offended that anyone was offended by his shitty (alleged) behavior that he rage-quit the thread, deleting his comment and — living up to his name — leaving only a dick pic in its place.
Now, Mr. Dick Pic may just be trolling, and I really hope that’s all there is to his terrible story, but his ridiculously pissy behavior after he got called out makes me think that his story, or at least parts of it, may actually be true.
Just another day on Reddit, the internet’s largest and most influential asshat aggregator.
Thanks to an anonymous Reddit informant for the heads-up, and the screenshots.
*crash*
And many mooorreee!!!!
What eli said! 🙂
That sounded atrocious considering the intervening. Sorry folks.
Bonne Fete A Toi Bonne Fete A Toi, Melody!
Happy birthday, melody. 🙂 I spent my birthday alone this year (my husband was out of town for work and it was the middle of the week so I had to be up super early the next day anyway for my own job, so I decided not to celebrate until the weekend), and it is a bit depressing even though, as you said, it shouldn’t be. I hope yours gets better soon. 🙂
Hmmm, BRz sounded decidedly un-French with that horseshit.
Never mind that it’d be a odd if a real European had no idea just how old anti-Semitism is. I suspect people like Richard I or Ferdinand and Isabella would be a trifle surprised to be told they were socialists.
Happy Birthday Melody, if you like, but I’m not going to force the issue.
You share a birthday with my best friend and one of my other friends.
Wait, what’s the logic in this? Is this like when MRAs claim that there is a “domestic violence industry” and that feminists create fake domestic violence to keep themselves employed, or some shit? Only now it’s socialists making sure that equality is never achieved because that would mean the end of those big, fat socialist paychecks? Mmhmm.
The horse butcher who did business down the street from me in Austria would have nothing to do wit BRZ.
Honestly, I thought that if socialism needed a scapegoat, the scapegoat was always the bourgeoisie.
So…. against my better judgement I went to read GGG’s post. What exactly does one take to cure crawling flesh? Apparently shots aren’t enough with that level of scuzz. I mean, even if dude is trolling, the almost inhuman lack of empathy to do it, and having people agree with him is just…. *shudders and dry heaves*
Also note that allegedly French Brz is claiming to have in-depth knowledge of the demographics of American poor neighborhoods. Not something the typical Frenchman picks up on (and a French expat would be unlikely to move to such a neighborhood, too).
Overload of birthday wishes.
@fade I’m 23 now.
And I totally agree with your assesment.
@Cloudiah sending positive thoughts. I have no idea if they work, but my dad always sends them at me.
@leftwingfox I laughed.
@ak Well, my best friend didn’t bail. So, things are looking up. An hour before shes done with work and we will be having drinks and greasy pizza. When you are working it gets difficult to have birthday celebrations.
@baroncognito I share my birthday with my cousins anniversary. She got married on my 16th birthday. And when she stopped her wedding to bring out a cat cake for my sweet 16 I got to feel like B!tch for being angry with her. I spent my 21st birthday with her. April is popular time for birthdays with my family 4 close family members were born in between april 9th and april 26th.
@serrana
but some mrms do believe this.
Yep. What I meant was that saying “socialists require a scapegoat” is the same kind of messed up logic as that.
Whoo, you’ve your new nym up, serrana! (See, I remembered THE CATVATAR.)
Thanks for remembering me, Kitteh! Now I’m a pepper. I always feel more myself as a pepper.
You hot thang, you! 😀
Aaliyah: If it comes to having to fly, to avoid harm, talk to me. I can find you a place to go.
WordPress accidentally ate my comment – there was sympathy for all who need it, particularly cloudiah, ally, and fade
So my husband has a work issue – he’s had nothing but sterling reviews for the past ten years or more, but a year ago started at a new company. For two months, he was under someone who hates him for no apparent reason (omitting detail, I know, but I believe he is not in the wrong here, and she drove two others away in the past year). Even though it’s been six months since he got out from that situation, his standard yearly raise was deferred for three-six months requiring improvement based entirely on the say of that person who hates him (while he’s brought in huge revenues and saved huge costs). So how do I handle the fact that I can’t do anything here?
@Brz
Anyone who construes the concept of white privilege as a way to shame white people has no idea what the concept is. And none of us assume that all white people are middle-class, nor do any of us assume that white people can’t be oppressed for other reasons – we only say that white people aren’t being oppressed for being white.
Stop acting you know what you’re talking about you insufferable dipshit.
Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind! =]
@Aaliyah
I brought up the couch surfing because you may get in to one of those group apartment situations, but your space will not be open until second semester. Or the sister wont be able to move to Santa Cruz before you begin school, but soon after. But, my suggestion works for whatever reason you don’t have a permenent place. I rotated about three different places for a few monthes, and got to stay friends with all of them after I finally got an apartment.
Yea, a trusted contacts list is a great idea.
I didn’t mean to trigger more worry about the parentals. Sorry.
@melody
Happy Birthday!
@lumi
I don’t really have any advice here, other than waiting. When he proves his hard-workiness to the company away from evil boss, they may reexamine her behavior toward the people working under her. And the high attrition rate of the people she manages.
Oops! I meant YOUR sister, not THE sister.
Ok, I am never going to catch up here, not for long anyways (or at least, not until my grandfather’s house is cleared out) but popping in to say…
Seconding, thirding, whatevering cloudiah’s fuck cancer
Happy birthday melody!
