r/Negareddit

So I'll be honest I lurk r/dogfree, mainly because I do find it interesting in morbid curiosity kind of way to see what people who have opinions vastly different then mine are up to. I never actually post (except for one single time) because I know, much like other subreddits, they just want their echo chamber and to be left alone.

Ok, fair, but after lurking for so long it's kind of gotten actually disturbing. Tons of posts and comments lately relating to 4th of July and how much pleasure they take in knowing dogs are terrified of fireworks and how happy they are there's a day in the year where they're essentially tortured. Several of which specifically mention how dogs get hurt and how glad they are that it happens. It's one thing to not like dogs, but these guys actually seem to take extreme pleasure in a dogs pain and suffering.

Then there's so many posts that are just obviously not true? Kind of like "then the whole bus clapped" type posts. They follow a lot of similar styles of posting too, ever story with a dog in public seems to have a dog wildly out of control in a grocery store or something, crowds of people swarming the dog to fawn and praise over it, employees bending over backwards to go out of their way to love the dog, and them proudly proclaiming they stood up and called the dog a disgusting filthy violent mongrel and shut everyone up type shit. Everyone who flies apparently sees an unsecured dog, sometimes even multiple on one flight, just loose and roaming in the cabin trying to bite people. Airlines don't even let dogs in cargo anymore let alone in the cabin, and cabin rules are very strict about dogs needing to fit in a kennel under a seat. There's even hatred of service animals and how they need to lose all protections and never be allowed anywhere.

It just seems like the hatred for dogs goes beyond anything resembling sanity, like these people seem to hate dogs with every ounce of their being in an actually mentally ill way that's getting disturbing to read. The one time I posted on it ever was just today, where I tried to calmly state that wishing violence and taking pleasure in a living creature being harmed (relating to all the 4th of July posts) is not healthy and it was swiftly deleted for "trolling" lmao.

Anyways that's my rant, I could honestly go on and on the about the psycho shit I've seen on there in my time lurking.

Tldr; r/dogfree users seem genuinely unwell, take pleasure in pain, psychological distress, and physical harm coming to dogs, post wild exaggerated stories en mass that are clearly either untrue or greatly embellished, shut down commenters who state maybe wishing harm on any living thing isn't healthy, and take "not liking dogs" to this extreme level I don't think I've ever seen in real life.

Just as the title says. I’m tired of being pressured to feel sorry for these people. It’s like “oh poor them, they’ve never had a girlfriend and women have rejected them, boo hoo”. I genuinely don’t care. Hating every single woman on the planet just because a few rejected you is stupid and immature. I’ve been rejected many times and I don’t hate all men, I don’t even hate the men who rejected me.

And then you have the whole “male loneliness issue”. Obviously I believe that men’s mental health is important. But then I have these incels telling me that because I’m a woman, I’ll never understand the loneliness that they feel. They don’t know anything about my life, they don’t know I don’t have any close friends, never had a boyfriend, always struggled to make friends, been bullied, etc. incels always see themselves as the victim and it’s annoying. Incels are stupid and pathetic and I don’t feel sorry for them at all

12-15 years ago on a now-deleted account I earnestly contributed to this hellhole. I wanted to calculate the most perfect comment to gain karma meaning I had said something people liked and was rewarded for it.

now i am enlightened. the purpose of this website is to find a group of assholes and tell them exactly what you think of them.

a cleverly disguised honeypot for rubes of a similar interest to gather in a concentrated mass. behavioral training to mold them collectively into the dumbest, most reactionary version of themselves.

downvotes are the score. your goal is to say things that earn juicy downvotes.

/s idk idk this is a pvp website. don’t have high expectations. be unbothered

Someone asked how nazi soldiers could do the things they did and I gave a few examples and drew parallels to immigration camp, re-emigration. How the public opinion today is similar to what it was in 1930s and 1940s.

Ended up with a 6 day ban for spreading hate against minorities.

Automated moderation.

This is the second time in a few weeks.

Ai-is stupid. Ai-moderation isn't intelligent. Reddit needs to stop these insane bands based on analyzi words in a comment.

We have r/AsOneAfterInfidelity for people who want to try and keep the relationship (not recommended, but that's their lives).

We have r/BreakUps for people who want to chuck the relationship.

We have Tinder and bars for hookups.

What more do cheaters need? You fucked up. Take responsibility and fuck off.

Also the "advice" in that sub is stupid. I believe there are people who are trying to destroy cheaters by giving the DUMBEST advice I have ever seen.

For instance this: https://www.reddit.com/r/SupportforWaywards/comments/1ulmoay/ws_looking_for_a_sign_things_will_be_ok_im_losing/

tldr: Cheater got caught when they passed an STI to their spouse. Cheater trickle truth and lied during marriage counseling and spouse is finally done with the relationship. The whole post is the cheater whining about how their past childhood trauma and whatnot is the reason for their cheating, blah blah blah. Didn't take responsibility at all.

Then there's this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/SupportforWaywards/comments/1uhqkro/comment/ov99zsr/

Someone gave advice to a cheater, telling her that she needs to treat the betrayed spouse way better...sexually...

Yeah...because constantly pressuring them for sex is totally going to fix your relationship when you cheated on them.

That entire sub should just be shut down.

I understand that the internet enables antisocial behavior and that the people on it are strangers of all walks of life and all different personalities, but I’ve just been unlucky to have some disheartening encounters in the past two days. I posted a post on law school subs asking for advice on how to support my fiancé going into law school and what advice he might benefit from to succeed. I got people telling me he will never see me and I will be his second priority, and also that he won’t accomplish his goals (he is very ambitious). So I made a post on the girl dinner sub about how I’m worried about him never being able to see me because I was neglected growing up and I got so many comments telling me he should leave me and I’m unsupportive. I don’t understand. I have diagnosed: BPD, OCD, GAD, Bipolar 2, ADHD; suspected: ASD. So it’s just been extra hard for me to be so harshly criticized. Moreover, I’m going through a lot because my fiancé and I have been talking about possibly breaking up because we want different things and I need some things he can’t provide. So I’m hurting personally too. It’s tough right now. I also made a post 2 weeks ago about how I’ve been in a depression and have neurodivergent burnout and I’d been stressed because my fiancé didn’t understand it and was expecting me and pressuring me to do more than I was able to handle (one of the reasons we’ve been talking about breaking up). Thank you for your time.

All my posts about the LGBTQIA are rarely nice, not that I don't post nice things, I do but the people in the comments all call me transphobic, homophobic, and sometimes get aggressive enough to target me personally, even if I post something nice about the community. They look through my post to look for something that proves I'm 'homophobic' which I'm not, it's got to the point that I have to apologize in my post before posting it, it's kinda scary tbh because I don't know what reaction I'll get, I've researched this topic on Google and Google said:(The Straw Man Fallacy: This happens when someone takes your actual statement, misinterprets it to make it look extreme and malicious, and then attacks that extreme version instead. For example, you said "don't automatically assume a young child is trans just because they don't like gender stereotypes," and they pretended you said "trans people shouldn't exist." They attacked a "straw man" version of your argument. / Weaponized Labeling: This is when someone uses a high-stakes, socially devastating label (like "homophobe") as a tactical tool to automatically win an argument. The goal is not to debate your logic; it is to force you onto the defensive so you have to prove you are a good person rather than talking about the actual topic.) I feel like it's a big problem, threats because you don't agree with someone? Example quote from one of my posts "You shouldn't harass someone because of their sexualities/sexuality, it's stupid to do that. And it's just a sexuality, it doesn't become a problem until they feel entitled to special treatment because of it or they want biological kids. The problem is, some members of the community seem to act like they're better than everyone else because of their sexualities, and when you try to correct them about it, they assume that your homophobic, (I'm not though, just making things clear) accusing someone of homophobia is rude too, just be nice and ask why they think so and why they're asking" I asked for peace in my rant, by biological kids I mean that LGBTQIA people aren't always attracted to the opposite gender so it's kinda hard to have biological kids, that's how it becomes a problem for them, I don't have a problem with it. And someone told me that rude and entitled people don't exist in the community, rude and entitled people exist in every community!

Just a rant, finding decent conversations is so hard these days, Reddit used to be great for having deep conversations and building friendships.
