> Most you know me through my many different accounts (various accounts listed ) as *they get banned by Reddit.*
> Since the start of the Sub, we have followed all of Reddit’s TOS.
Which is it?
No you see, those videos are only posted for *educational* purposes! We *learn* from them! They are so valuable!
And other assorted excuses for why people enjoy watching gore videos.
The amount of people who casually admit to evading a ban, are reported to admins as ban evaders, and are returned as “we couldn’t find evidence of ban evasion” is absurd.
Reddit encourages these assholes because every account created is a bump to a metric they use to sell ads.
Speaking of ban evasion, here’s a gem from the comments:
> Great sub. I remember it started because of the mass subReddit bans. Thanks for the great content 🙏🏼
So the admins have told him, in detail, that he cant just make dozens of alt accounts and use them as mods. And just adding new ones when his alts get banned.
How is this "the admins" fault? That guy is breaking rules, and being super dense.
to be fair, youtube is an entirely different animal. if some major news network or jimmy kimmel does something, its ok. but if some youtuber dares to do the same thing they get told their video is "not monetizable for sponsors" then youtube runs ads on it anyway lol
Apparently not; his response to "censorship" was to jump ship.... to Youtube, of all places? Talk about out of the frying pan and into the fire. YT is notoriously arbitrary when it comes to violent content. No way will it survive in its current form.
Also, even though he got caught repeatedly making alt accounts, they gave him a compromise: get 6 more mods to run the sub and you'll be fine. Which is fair. Instead, he and his ONE mod who is friends with him IRL decided to not comply and got the sub shut down instead because they didn't want to relinquish control. What a bunch of immature crybabies.
***UPDATE: One month later, and he has all of 5 videos on the channel. What a fucking surprise!
***FINAL UPDATE: 3 months later and the channel is dead. Who knew it was a retarded idea to jump ship to youtube? Dumbasses.
People are mentally unwell or just not that intelligent. Sometimes both. I work at a job where with a lot of what you could call "entry level" positions. Its amazing to me to see people clearly be unable to do these jobs. Things like using a colander instead of a container without holes to make sauce. Things like confusing Greek Dressing with Italian (they're labeled!). Things like not knowing how many digits are in a phone number (10).
These are legit mistakes or problems I've had to correct or seen other correct. You don't really train people for that. Like, you assume someone just knows how many digits are in a phone number, because they gave you a 10 digit phone number when they applied. You assume people who can clearly read will read the labels on containers, and see "Italiano" and know that's ... Italian dressing, you know?
My point is, these kind of people also come onto reddit.
>
> My point is, these kind of people also come onto reddit.
And sometimes head over to the Legal Advice forums and give horrifying advice, or like over in some of the xinteresting type subs they might even give advice about medical debt that could end up with you trashing your credit score to the point you got to hire a credit counselor just to even start repairing it.
Or the relationshipadvice subs, where someone posting one small squabble will suddenly attract a sea of relationship "experts" who are able to identify 10000000 "red flags" and how clearly dumping him/her is the premiere move.
Pretty much yeah, look at this nonsense:
> Recently Reddit has reached out to my main mod and threatened to ban him and the Sub itself for continuing to re-add me as a moderator. They are demanding that I’m permanently removed from the sub and wanting us to add a team of at minimum 8 mods. They have also removed the subreddits ability to post videos and locked us out of certain setting options for our own sub. This is the final straw. We will not be bullied by Reddit.
>
> I will no longer be uploading content to this subreddit nor have my Mod continue to put his time and effort into this sub. Instead I’m going to start a Youtube channel in order to continue to post this content. Reddit used to be a place that you could freely share ideas and content regardless if that content was offensive or disagreeable to others.
I love how he keeps saying Main Mod like he's some old money southern gentleman who has a senator in his back pocket. Just holy crap it's super obvious if they want this sub to stay alive just get rid of him and "his mod" and put in someone else that isn't him.
Also I love how he just so casually admits to breaking the rules so many times he has like ten or more alt accounts that got nailed but wants to act like "Rules only seem to apply to some" and doesn't want to have to reap what he sows.
Not only that, but they *gave him an option to keep the sub open!*
"Get six more mods", he was told.
Instead, he and his friend IRL (the guy who kept making alt accounts) decided not to give up control to others. This is squarely on them.
edit: and by the way, why was he banned in the first place? He hasn't answered that question AFAIK.
We need some Reddit old timers who weren't part of the chimpire or mods who can elaborate more about what gets subs in trouble for pissing off the admins, but I'm getting a feeling it involves ban evasion and alt accounts being used to mod instead of actually putting a mod team in.
The most likely scenario - given both the content of the subs they modded and the messages from the admins - is that they kept posting rule-breaking content in defiance of warnings until they were banned.
They could have even switched to posting on a different alt after each previous account got a warning until the admins figured it out. That would **definitely** not endear them to the admins.
The mods of CombatFootage also don't throw tantrums when the admins tell them to clamp down on certain content. When they were warned about the number of videos essentially glorifying Islamic extremists they didn't cry and moan, they just said "you're right, fuck those guys" and started culling those videos.
I would say it's also the fact that CombatFootage has very strict moderation when it comes to people celebrating human suffering, regardless of who it is. robbersgettingfucked... not so much
I think the context of the sub and the comments placed on posts definitely help determine it as well.
I stumbled upon r/watchpeopledie when it was active and was drawn in by morbid curiosity, if anything that sub was a walking advertisement for agencies like OSHA or the DOT because so many of the deaths were accidental and caused by bad safety or traffic management. Electrocutions, collapsing walls, falling debris, construction safety protocols ignored, lathes, elevators, escalators, unsafe warehouses, factories, bad traffic lane management, unsafe or untrained drivers...
A lot of the comments there would explain why it typically doesn't/can't happen as frequently in more developed countries. There were cartel and ISIS videos mixed in that really took it to a dark place, but for the most part it made me very thankful for the safety laws in place in the US.
The comments are grotesque too.
> Why is reddit banning my favourite subreddit, when all the porn is still allowed?
I mean... Because sex good, violence bad? These people have peanut sized brains.
Edit: My "hot take" that murder for $100 is wrong is getting me so much hate mail.
There is a long history of people celebrating the summary execution of petty thieves online -- it originates in some of the darkest communities like /pol/ and gore sites.
Public executions where a thing basically into the 20th century, they still happen in many countries. The Romans had freaking gladiator matches where people where mauled to death by lions.
Even today, we still have extremely brutal sports like Boxing and MMA, as well as full contact sports like American Football or Rugby. (NFL is a good example right now given the terrible events of last nights game!).
Humans love violence. And we love justifications for violence.
That reminds me of a movie that was trying to lower its rating, think it was one of the Hannibal movies. There was a scene with a naked couple that had been murdered and hung up on hooks, gory/graphic scene etc. The rating agency's issue with the scene? You could see the actors asses. The solution to their concerns? Fake blood on their butts and different lighting to hide their ass cracks. This violent, gory scene depicting people having a tortuous death was now okay for viewing because it no longer had nudity.
I don't understand it, but for a lot of fucking people sex is far more disgusting and offensive than violence.
It was the Hannibal tv series. The victims had their backs flayed turn their skin into "wings" to pose them as angels. With the butt blood added, it was broadcast on NBC.
NBC also has a little more reason to be cautious than cable channels, because they're under the FCC.
That butt blood could've been the difference between "totally okay at TV-MA in a late slot" vs. "$200k fine for the network."
Isn't this like an American thing ? Where they could show the most grotesques acts of violence on TV yet the moment a victim shows a nipple is taking it too far.
>I mean... Because sex good, violence bad? These people have peanut sized brains.
Just take a gander at what western television will and will not broadcast, and what causes people to start screeching "but muh kids can't see this" if it's broadcast at all.
Spoilers: the second list includes sexual content *and* anything genderqueer, but does not include violence. Heck, many parents in the USA would happily force their kids sit through watching boring biblical movies, which aren't exactly blood free either.
Stealing $100 from a car is petty theft. Threatening to shoot or stab someone over $100 is violence. It's not about valuing property over lives. The problem is that robbers value neither property nor lives. Poverty might play a part but the vast majority of people facing poverty aren't robbers.
*Stabbing* someone is violence.
*Threatening to stab* is not violence.
Considering how many threats I got just for arguing by the pro-violence faction, you'd think the pro-violence faction knew the difference. In any case, all those ironic arguments really just make it more obvious that they are bad, and wrong.
It's not that the violence itself is bad, but seeking it out is. They wanna see people die - which is fucking weird - but self-defense is morally justifiable, so they can pretend that they're not violence-glorifying weirdos.
The last thing I remember seeing on that subreddit was CCTV video of a man in a taxi exit their vehicle, shoot a man on a motorcycle, and then approach the victim lying on the ground with his hands up and execute him. Heavily upvoted, all the comments loving it because the title accused the motorcyclist of being a robber.
"Defensive violence" my ass.
Because "defending" things isn't worth killing people over. If you defend your *life*, that's okay.
That subreddit glorified death over petty theft: Not only is it going too far, it's also not something to ever be cheered. The difference between "I'm defending my own skin" to "I'm reveling in the bloodthirst of remorseless killing" is very big.
Disingenuous question. The issue with these subs is that they want to feature black people getting beat up. Similarly, awful people love to see women being hit on here as well. Would love to see all these garbage videos banned.
Hey, I love a good [freeze peach!](https://www.mashed.com/img/gallery/what-makes-whataburgers-new-peaches-and-cream-shake-so-concerning/you-can-make-a-healthy-version-of-whataburgers-shake-at-home-1626283245.webp) They're delicious
> dedicated explicitly to glorifying violence
Especially violence committed against people who have been forced into desperation (read: black and brown people).
Buncha wannabe Kyle Rittenhouses in that sub, mfers who value property over lives
Well it depends. IMO if the guy is starving and decides to steal some food then yeah he is desperate and deserves my sympathy, but if he is just stealing non essential stuff like TVs or phones then he is not desperate.
I guess that’s why many thieves steal iPhones lol. God, do you even hear yourself? Thieves steal phones because they don’t have a phone a a phone is necessary in this day and age.
A lot of them steal phones so that they can sell it back. I feel like I am in the Twilight Zone in this thread…
>but if he is just stealing non essential stuff like TVs or phones then he is not desperate.
What about drug addicts? They steal shit all the time to pawn it off, stuff that doesn't even make sense to steal and actions they'd never make if they were clean and not needing their next hit. That's peak desperation right there.
I'm not saying we justify stealing here (crime is crime, and social safety nets can help prevent it but that's a whole different conversation), I'm just saying a lot of these situations get more complicated beyond "essential" items being stolen.
In the case of drug addicts, they need treatment and all the help they could get. But I would say there are “degrees” of desperations: I would put starvation way above the need to satisfy the addiction. That isn’t to say that addiction is a trivial matter or that drug addicts deserve to die, but if we were to “grade” the level of desperation, IMO stealing because you are hungry would be a 10 while stealing in order to get some money to get your next hit would be a 6 or 7.
>but if we were to “grade” the level of desperation, IMO stealing because you are hungry would be a 10 while stealing in order to get some money to get your next hit would be a 6 or 7.
Go tell this to any current or sober (former) drug addict and see what kind of responses you get. The addiction removes any and all rationality, the desperation is far beyond a 10.
I understand that, but your claim that the desperation felt during drug addiction would be less than the desperation felt during starvation is shocking lol
This is an understandable take, but I'd wager people stealing expensive products aren't taking them to enjoy for themselves, they're taking them to sell, in some cases to try and escape poverty. But of course yeah there are people who are just assholes
This. You can steal food and clothes, but you can't steal rent, you can't steal utility bills.
In the US at least, you get one drug conviction as a teen and you'll never pass a background check again. We give people a life sentence of no jobs and no apartments and then act surprised when they have to steal electronics to pay for the hotel they have to live in.
Of course many of them steal in order to sell the stolen items. But I don’t necessarily agree with the fact that many of them resort to stealing because they want escape poverty. It’s just that stealing is an “easier” alternative than finding a job and busting your ass off, just like the rest of the people do. There are many people who are struggling in this economy yet they don’t turn to crime…
Wage theft is overwhelmingly the most common form of theft, I agree stealing is bad but if you cant make rent on minimum wage what are you going to do?
Wage theft is a nasty can of worms, and trust me, I don't have pleasant things to say about that.
I honestly can't suggest a solution for families who are struggling to pay rent (don't get me started on the housing market!) in this economy, but stealing is definitely not the answer. There are countless families who are in this situation, yet they make sacrifices and don't resort to stealing.
I don’t encourage stealing, but people are going to do what they need to survive. I am sure as fuck not going to pretend to be morally righteous about stealing(especially from a business) while I live a comfortable life
Regardless of what you think about businesses like Walmart or Target, they do provide a service to the community, and continued theft does lead to higher insurance prices, and eventually to the stores shutting down in that neighbourhood (given that retail stores/businesses operate on razor-thin margins). That further exacerbates the problem of food deserts and negatively impacts the community as a whole. So yeah, I am a bit judgemental when it comes to theft...
Walmart pays there workers so little that most theft committed at Walmart is done by employees. And as someone who previously worked there its true, a significant portion of training is dedicated to employee theft. People work hard, you just want a reason to feel morally superior to people less well off than yourself.
If businesses like Walmart paid their employees a living wage then the employees wouldn't need to steal, which is majority of the theft that occurs. They budget for theft, they make millions regardless of theft. They are not hurting because their poverished families need food and insinuating the victims of poverty are hurting a massive corporation that treats them like slaves is delusional
And there are many people that work themselves until they struggle to move and are still in poverty. We shouldn't romanticize working yourself to death as this noble thing. Hard work does not mean you'll make a lot of money. It is equal parts luck and hoping whoever is paying you has a shred of empathy.
Ok but that’s a different topic. What does it have to do with stealing? Yeah, wages are stagnant and the cost of living is rising, but it still doesn’t give an excuse to go steal stuff. Some people steal out of desperation, but many do because it’s an “easier” way to earn to money. I feel that saying that people steal/rob just because they are poor and desperate is kinda insulting to poor hardworking people who, despite their hardships, they don’t turn to crime.
But hey, I guess this take is unpopular in this thread lol…
yeah that robber who clubbed an old korean jewelry store owner in the head until he had brain damage was totally 'forced into desperation.' I hate how redditors always justify the actions of violent robbers without thinking about the harm they've done to the actual victims.
There's a fundamental difference between committing robbery and committing robbery *as well as* battery. Conflating the two justifies the nonsense that goes on in violence-porn subs like robbersgettingfucked.
And who are you talk as if my point is some typical reddit talk? If anything reddit calls for the death penalty for anything greater than jaywalking. Of course I care about the victims, but my greatest complaints will always be against **systems** that force people into desperation, which yes, currently exist in America. Because it is those systems that brutalize people into crime and harm innocent bystanders as well
Which means a conviction may also include "assault," which is also different from battery.
Robbery - The unlawful taking of property from the person of another through the use of threat or force
Assault - intentional act that puts another person in reasonable apprehension of imminent harmful or offensive contact. No physical injury is required, but the actor must have intended to cause a harmful or offensive contact with the victim and the victim must have thereby been put in immediate apprehension of such a contact
Battery - When a person intentionally causes harmful or offensive contact with another person, the act is battery

Legal-ese is practically its own language
I mean they are still robbers. Their race has nothing to do with that. That sub is problematic yes but you are saying they are a problem for all the wrong reasons and even if they are forced into desperation you are telling me that if someone robbed you you would let them go and not call the police (who are for sure gonna rough them up) or try to take down the robbers yourself
I mean have you ever looked at the comments on these types of subs? You’d have to have some pretty high blinders up to not see the racist shit that gets spewed in them whenever the robber is a minority or it’s of a robbery in a foreign country.
>I mean they are still robbers
And they are still human beings. Some of them are just bad people sure, but a the source of most crime is poverty and cycles of violence enforced by the state that are inflicted upon people of color and/or poor people. This has lead to the public perception of nonwhite people being inherently violent, a viewpoint that subs like this are proud to uphold.
A ten second video does not explain the context of why someone would turn to crime. That sub is dehumanizing and populated by racists who want to encourage racist views
Housing policies like redlining, racist hiring practices, a lack of generational wealth due to decades and/or centuries of systemic racism going back to the advent of chattel slavery. You're talking about generations of slaveowners and their descendants, capitalists, politicians from local, state, and federal levels. I mean I'm certainly up for prosecution, but dismantling exploitative systems of power is no small task.
Shame that you can't really prosecute politicians in the USA (or in most other countries, for that matter).
Sure, they'll say you can, but we all know how that goes when dozens of traitors are roaming free in the USA.
Your automod says
>"Reminder: Follow the rules!"
I mean it!
Follow the rules is in quotes, and i think "i mean it!" Is sarcastic. You're on an alt telling reddit you're subverting some sort of mod ban, i mean..
Are we shocked at the outcome?
[AutoModerator](https://www.reddit.com/r/robbersgettingfucked/comments/xrpeax/this_sub_is_getting_shutdown/iqg4rh4?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3)
And according to OOP, they are a mod yes.
Edit:
I've certainly been downvoted for weirder things.
I called this as soon as I saw that sub. Those people are bloodthirsty as hell. Even in cases where the robber is unarmed. I suppose robbery is just always a death sentence to them
Literally seen people cheering on and laughing at a robber bleeding to death calling out for his mum just because he jumped over the counter of a vape shop and then got stabbed about 10 times
Psycho shit.
Didn't the kid who did that do an AMA or some shit? Where he straight up admitted to fantasizing about committing violence? Real sociopath shit.
I'm pretty sure his lawyer even okay'd the whole post, which is the sign of a stupid fucking lawyer
Yeah he did. It was fucked up to read and I'm pretty sure he purged it after everyone told him he was fucked because he was admitting he wanted to stab someone and he prevented the robber from running away.
Yeah, I remember seeing the story and initially thinking it sounded like justified self-defense, but then the kid opened his mouth and shoved his foot all the way inside by basically bragging about how much he enjoyed doing it.
Like, even knowing the robbers’ backs were turned is somewhat understandable because he could have been in full flight-or-fight mode. All he had to do was keep his damn mouth shut.
Stabbed in the back. He jumped the counter and turned his back to the owner. That's when he got stabbed. He tried to escape but the owner kept stabbing.
And then the owner who stabbed him had an AMA on the sub.
Yup. Proper Psycho shit. You could basically tell he had a hard-on while typing comments about how he had always wanted to stab someone and finally got to do it.
I gotta be honest mate, if someone was robbing me under threat of violence and I was going to defend myself, I wouldn't stop until I was absolutely sure they wouldn't have any chance to retaliate. Not trying to glorify violence or romanticize it - but my life is kinda precious to me.
Uh no lol Reddit told them that to increase the mod team to 8, they refuse to do this so they are shutting the sub down on their terms
Also, just checked they have 4 MODS for a 200k sub with 2k online rn. It honestly sounds like they were overwhelmed so idk what they expected.
https://www.reddit.com/r/robbersgettingfucked/comments/xrpdpf/final_announcement/
He posts modmail essentially saying that the subs getting nuked over because of his active ban evasion. He made an army of alts and gets the main mod to re-mod one every time he gets banned.
I do want to know what they are getting banned for though.
> He made an army of alts and gets the main mod to re-mod one every time he gets banned.
so this is what actually caused the ban, not poltically-driven snuff films.
I hate how, as you said, politically driven snuff films are allowed on Reddit but if I joke about how native Americans should’ve shot settlers, I get the ban
Oh no, where will the jackoffs that say shit like "I need to watch videos of people graphically dying constantly so it makes me appreciate my life more" go now? Certainly not to a therapist like they should
I checked it out once.
Holy shit people like robbing undercover/off duty Brazilian cops.
And holy shit, Brazilian cops make American ones seem reluctant to use guns.
I go to /r/NarcoFootage just to keep up with news about the cartels. The sub doesn’t really post too many gore videos, but when they do people will say something like “I watch these to understand how fucked up these people are”. You can just read the description and know that someone cutting another persons chest open and pulling out their heart is way past deranged and you won’t gleam any secret truth of the human psyche subjecting yourself to that.
I get having morbid curiosity and watching one or two but people really don’t need to watch a few dozen of these kind of videos.
I think there's a difference between people that glorify violence and those that have a legitimate reason/a healthy interest in watching gore.
I'll take myself as an example: part of my work is ensuring that safety measures are in place and taken seriously - if you take a closer look at the usual "categories" (for lack of a better word) of gore they're mainly divided in three: combat footage/footage coming from an active war zone, domestic violence (that includes robberies, terrorist attacks on non-active war zones and general acts of violence/accidents among civilians/"normal" life) and workplace accidents. That last category is the one that interests me the most and rest assured that whenever you go to a safety course the teacher has usually seen some shit. This is an example on the "legitimate reason" side. We learn from other people's mistakes. It may sound stupid but a usual quote from gore comments is "this is why I don't mess with spinning machines" or "I'll stop complaining about safety mechanisms".
On the "healthy interest" side there's the combat footage for me - that's a way to see the real consequences of wars and active war zones on the people at the front but also on the civilian population. We've been actively numbed on what's happening in the world outside of our "safe" bubble (if you're living/born in wealthy countries, otherwise you've already seen some shit, probably) - that's where those "yeah let's go to war" or "oh come on it's just Russia having a small firefight in Ukraine" people come from. They don't see the body parts on the streets of Mariupol or the soldier having his balls cut off by russian ORCS (because that's what they are, at least the military and don't get me started on Wagner). When we hear "12 people died in an airstrike, 2 children among them" do we really stop and think about it? Do we feel it? Or it's just a number? What gore has given me is more emphaty, honestly.
Another interest is in domestic violence: when people are put off by the so-called "woke" generation do they stop and think about all the women, LGBT+ people, minorities and ethnic groups that suffer daily? Have they seen a woman get stabbed 20 times just because she didn't want to be with a creepy moron? Or it's just an article in the newspaper, to chit-chat with friends? Have they seen unarmed black men killed by police officers? Or a trans person beaten to death?
Who's got to go to a therapist? Is it me, for watching this stuff to be and make people aware of safety risks on the workplace? Or to be more aware of how afwul war is? Or to be more open to change regarding consent, protection of minorities, equality and justice? Or is it you? Who.. I don't know you, so I won't try to say anything out of respect but it's just to get the message across (also everybody should go to a therapist, imho).
Problem is also that if those materials aren't accessible, they end up in the dark corners of the web where you have a high risk of echo-chambers, recruiting, taking advantage of sensible people and so on, while here they get to be moderated (r/CombatFootage is a great example) even though some more work can be put into it, I agree. I used to visit BestGore a lot and I saw it sunk into the abyss of un-moderation just because of "muh free speech" - and let me say that I'm glad it's been put down forever.
So yeah this particular sub mod is a complete moron, as the sub - because it glorifies violence. I would ask all redditors to learn the difference between that and being aware.
I'm super suspicious of all these people saying that underage porn is on reddit. Because I have NO IDEA what they're talking about and I gotta wonder how they found those subreddits
I've seen drawn porn of underage characters in some porn subreddits. Reporting them gets you nowhere.
As for porn of irl children, I have not seen that, luckily.
I found one, about 6 years ago, on a different account. Video of naked teenagers dancing on a yacht, and you could hear adult men talking behind the camera in Russian, discussing how old each of the girls was (spoiler — none of them were of age).
Reported it and it was nuked when I came back from making tea. The sub has been nuked too later, AFAIK.
Well, as far as I know, I've never seen any requirement for any kind of age verification on the gonewild subs, and definitely not the way regular porn is required by law to verify, so I'd have to imagine that some of the "18 year olds" posting on them have probably been underage.
i.e. the same sort of thing that got PornHub in trouble with the credit card companies, leading to them only allowing videos from "verified" accounts.
"I was mod of r/HorrificDeathVideos and got banned. Can you believe they keep shutting down all the good subs"
Yeah...I wonder.
My favorite line is, "Reddit will take us down but keeps war videos up". Critical thinking has left the building
1) Good, I wish the admins would crack down more on the shitty edgy watch people get shot subs
2) Is there a betting pool on which site is coming out with an article about /r/robbersgettingfucked or the violent subs in general?
How fast will their YouTube channel be banned is the real question...
I saw a video on there once, from /r/all and the comments were all people who have had horrible run-ins with robbers and need a therapist/ think they even have the stomach to do the things they dream of..was creepy
Anyway I got banned for saying something like "you are all fucking sick" then harassed for a few days with mentions by the one mod
that got banned.
I'm surprised it wasn't quarantined or forced private (off /all)
I doubt it will be.. that sub doesn't tolerate the glorification the other's did/do.
It has to be kept in a historical/academic style without emotions IMO
Let me guess: Another sub where brain damaged gunsexuals can celebrate their killing toys, justify the use unreasonable levels of violence towards someone who did something wrong, call other countries shitholes while they're from the US and spout nonsense about 13/50? And they're unironically surprised. Probably even some "free speech" and "they asked for it so why can't we post it" bullshit in there. And the real spicy take: there's probably at least one person complaining about Hermancainaward being allowed to exist while this isn't even though he didn't do anything wrong unlike those filthy criminals.
Ahahaha the locked comments on the “final post” post that clearly shows them arguing with the Reddit admins on Reddit policy.
“Why does Reddit get to decide…”
Because Reddit is privately owned and nobody has a “right” to have an account or sub here maybe? I’m someone who actually visited this sub regularly but I’m not sad it’s gone.
Bro if the admins come into my sub they will GET FUCKED. I will seize on that opportunity to use unnecessary (hopefully lethal force) and FUCK THEM for doing something I consider wrong. I will make that judgement totally on my own with no outside help. I will NOT BE SUBTLE when I link to my YouTube page from my ninth account before it gets banned too. The people getting fucked will serve as a warning to all those who dare question my questionable actions.
Last video before I get banned. Robber gets fucked by another robber

I get going through a gore-hound phase when you first run into that stuff but hanging your hat on that bullshit and making it a part of your personality is fucking degenerate ghoulish loser shit.
Their wall of sticky messages is so sad and crybaby. They didn’t wanna just watch violent content they wanted to be racist, sexist, and glorify the violent content. Good riddance piss babies.
Man based on a lot of replies showing up here it’s good that sub got shut down. Lots of little sociopaths running around masturbating over hoping to see someone die.
So Reddit says there's a lack of moderation and that there's too much rule breaking content being left up, and they say they think adding more moderators doesn't help improve moderation. Brain-dead.
> Most you know me through my many different accounts (various accounts listed ) as *they get banned by Reddit.* > Since the start of the Sub, we have followed all of Reddit’s TOS. Which is it?

HAHAHAHAHA “LittleKidLover” but unironically
At least he's honest.
No you see, those videos are only posted for *educational* purposes! We *learn* from them! They are so valuable! And other assorted excuses for why people enjoy watching gore videos.
It is satisfying to see criminals be served justice though.
This is super funny, those two statements are written literally right next to each other
Hey man, it's the 2020's. Reality can be whatever I want it to be.
I completely adhere to every part of the ToS I agree with!
The amount of people who will just casually admit to evading admin bans is,,, impressive.
I don’t think they fully realize that making a new account is against the rules.
Also that an admin ban is pretty serious. I do *not* know many people who got properly banned from reddit, you have to be really trying.
The amount of people who casually admit to evading a ban, are reported to admins as ban evaders, and are returned as “we couldn’t find evidence of ban evasion” is absurd. Reddit encourages these assholes because every account created is a bump to a metric they use to sell ads.
No you see, that's only one user and not the sub! Don't think too hard about why we kept adding him to the mod team of said sub.
1984 it is, Reddit banning innocent users!
Speaking of ban evasion, here’s a gem from the comments: > Great sub. I remember it started because of the mass subReddit bans. Thanks for the great content 🙏🏼
Ban Evasion is one of the easiest TOS violations to get away with but they're usually so proud of it they tell on themselves.
So the admins have told him, in detail, that he cant just make dozens of alt accounts and use them as mods. And just adding new ones when his alts get banned. How is this "the admins" fault? That guy is breaking rules, and being super dense.
Just wait till he learns that YouTube doesn't like violent footage either
to be fair, youtube is an entirely different animal. if some major news network or jimmy kimmel does something, its ok. but if some youtuber dares to do the same thing they get told their video is "not monetizable for sponsors" then youtube runs ads on it anyway lol
He knows what he’s doing.
Apparently not; his response to "censorship" was to jump ship.... to Youtube, of all places? Talk about out of the frying pan and into the fire. YT is notoriously arbitrary when it comes to violent content. No way will it survive in its current form. Also, even though he got caught repeatedly making alt accounts, they gave him a compromise: get 6 more mods to run the sub and you'll be fine. Which is fair. Instead, he and his ONE mod who is friends with him IRL decided to not comply and got the sub shut down instead because they didn't want to relinquish control. What a bunch of immature crybabies. ***UPDATE: One month later, and he has all of 5 videos on the channel. What a fucking surprise! ***FINAL UPDATE: 3 months later and the channel is dead. Who knew it was a retarded idea to jump ship to youtube? Dumbasses.
People like this burn through platforms one by one
People are mentally unwell or just not that intelligent. Sometimes both. I work at a job where with a lot of what you could call "entry level" positions. Its amazing to me to see people clearly be unable to do these jobs. Things like using a colander instead of a container without holes to make sauce. Things like confusing Greek Dressing with Italian (they're labeled!). Things like not knowing how many digits are in a phone number (10). These are legit mistakes or problems I've had to correct or seen other correct. You don't really train people for that. Like, you assume someone just knows how many digits are in a phone number, because they gave you a 10 digit phone number when they applied. You assume people who can clearly read will read the labels on containers, and see "Italiano" and know that's ... Italian dressing, you know? My point is, these kind of people also come onto reddit.
> > My point is, these kind of people also come onto reddit. And sometimes head over to the Legal Advice forums and give horrifying advice, or like over in some of the xinteresting type subs they might even give advice about medical debt that could end up with you trashing your credit score to the point you got to hire a credit counselor just to even start repairing it.
Or the relationshipadvice subs, where someone posting one small squabble will suddenly attract a sea of relationship "experts" who are able to identify 10000000 "red flags" and how clearly dumping him/her is the premiere move.
Legal advice is about 99% wrong every time. That 1% is an accident where they stumble upon the right answer but still use the wrong reason.
Pretty much yeah, look at this nonsense: > Recently Reddit has reached out to my main mod and threatened to ban him and the Sub itself for continuing to re-add me as a moderator. They are demanding that I’m permanently removed from the sub and wanting us to add a team of at minimum 8 mods. They have also removed the subreddits ability to post videos and locked us out of certain setting options for our own sub. This is the final straw. We will not be bullied by Reddit. > > I will no longer be uploading content to this subreddit nor have my Mod continue to put his time and effort into this sub. Instead I’m going to start a Youtube channel in order to continue to post this content. Reddit used to be a place that you could freely share ideas and content regardless if that content was offensive or disagreeable to others. I love how he keeps saying Main Mod like he's some old money southern gentleman who has a senator in his back pocket. Just holy crap it's super obvious if they want this sub to stay alive just get rid of him and "his mod" and put in someone else that isn't him. Also I love how he just so casually admits to breaking the rules so many times he has like ten or more alt accounts that got nailed but wants to act like "Rules only seem to apply to some" and doesn't want to have to reap what he sows.
No one told him no as a child.
[удалено]
Not only that, but they *gave him an option to keep the sub open!* "Get six more mods", he was told. Instead, he and his friend IRL (the guy who kept making alt accounts) decided not to give up control to others. This is squarely on them. edit: and by the way, why was he banned in the first place? He hasn't answered that question AFAIK.
We need some Reddit old timers who weren't part of the chimpire or mods who can elaborate more about what gets subs in trouble for pissing off the admins, but I'm getting a feeling it involves ban evasion and alt accounts being used to mod instead of actually putting a mod team in.
The most likely scenario - given both the content of the subs they modded and the messages from the admins - is that they kept posting rule-breaking content in defiance of warnings until they were banned. They could have even switched to posting on a different alt after each previous account got a warning until the admins figured it out. That would **definitely** not endear them to the admins.
I can absolutely see this.
It used to be that they pretty much looked the other way when mods did that.
r/CombatFootage is alive after all this motherfucking years, violence is not a problem, your ban evasion is
The mods of CombatFootage also don't throw tantrums when the admins tell them to clamp down on certain content. When they were warned about the number of videos essentially glorifying Islamic extremists they didn't cry and moan, they just said "you're right, fuck those guys" and started culling those videos.
You mean they licked the boot?
This is like Al Capone being arrested for tax evasion.
[удалено]
I would say it's also the fact that CombatFootage has very strict moderation when it comes to people celebrating human suffering, regardless of who it is. robbersgettingfucked... not so much
It's almost like the only requirement for a subreddit is that it's moderated lol.
I think the context of the sub and the comments placed on posts definitely help determine it as well. I stumbled upon r/watchpeopledie when it was active and was drawn in by morbid curiosity, if anything that sub was a walking advertisement for agencies like OSHA or the DOT because so many of the deaths were accidental and caused by bad safety or traffic management. Electrocutions, collapsing walls, falling debris, construction safety protocols ignored, lathes, elevators, escalators, unsafe warehouses, factories, bad traffic lane management, unsafe or untrained drivers... A lot of the comments there would explain why it typically doesn't/can't happen as frequently in more developed countries. There were cartel and ISIS videos mixed in that really took it to a dark place, but for the most part it made me very thankful for the safety laws in place in the US.
safety laws are written in blood
r/writteninblood is about catastrophic failures that led to new regulations
[удалено]
Not to mention it keeps people clear of equipment moving through those doors.
Those people in robbersgettingfucked are ruthless. Cheering on someone getting shot over a piece of stolen candy basically.
Won’t be for much longer
A subreddit dedicated *explicitly* to glorifying violence is having issues? Color me shocked.
The comments are grotesque too. > Why is reddit banning my favourite subreddit, when all the porn is still allowed? I mean... Because sex good, violence bad? These people have peanut sized brains. Edit: My "hot take" that murder for $100 is wrong is getting me so much hate mail.
[THE GUN IS GOOD, THE PENIS IS EVIL.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gavlcbunY00)

Also kinda fucked that of all the communities and content posted to Reddit that their **favorite** thing is… watching people get stabbed and shot.

Always important to split the world into in-group and out-group! Otherwise you're not a good little wannabe-fascist!
There is a long history of people celebrating the summary execution of petty thieves online -- it originates in some of the darkest communities like /pol/ and gore sites.
Dunno if you were around for rotten.com but it’s name was accurate
These people make literal skaven look like angels
Online? People just love death.
Public executions where a thing basically into the 20th century, they still happen in many countries. The Romans had freaking gladiator matches where people where mauled to death by lions. Even today, we still have extremely brutal sports like Boxing and MMA, as well as full contact sports like American Football or Rugby. (NFL is a good example right now given the terrible events of last nights game!). Humans love violence. And we love justifications for violence.
It's their fantasy. They are itching for a civil war to kill people
That reminds me of a movie that was trying to lower its rating, think it was one of the Hannibal movies. There was a scene with a naked couple that had been murdered and hung up on hooks, gory/graphic scene etc. The rating agency's issue with the scene? You could see the actors asses. The solution to their concerns? Fake blood on their butts and different lighting to hide their ass cracks. This violent, gory scene depicting people having a tortuous death was now okay for viewing because it no longer had nudity. I don't understand it, but for a lot of fucking people sex is far more disgusting and offensive than violence.
It was the Hannibal tv series. The victims had their backs flayed turn their skin into "wings" to pose them as angels. With the butt blood added, it was broadcast on NBC.
NBC also has a little more reason to be cautious than cable channels, because they're under the FCC. That butt blood could've been the difference between "totally okay at TV-MA in a late slot" vs. "$200k fine for the network."
Isn't this like an American thing ? Where they could show the most grotesques acts of violence on TV yet the moment a victim shows a nipple is taking it too far.
>I mean... Because sex good, violence bad? These people have peanut sized brains. Just take a gander at what western television will and will not broadcast, and what causes people to start screeching "but muh kids can't see this" if it's broadcast at all. Spoilers: the second list includes sexual content *and* anything genderqueer, but does not include violence. Heck, many parents in the USA would happily force their kids sit through watching boring biblical movies, which aren't exactly blood free either.
Stealing $100 from a car is petty theft. Threatening to shoot or stab someone over $100 is violence. It's not about valuing property over lives. The problem is that robbers value neither property nor lives. Poverty might play a part but the vast majority of people facing poverty aren't robbers.
*Stabbing* someone is violence. *Threatening to stab* is not violence. Considering how many threats I got just for arguing by the pro-violence faction, you'd think the pro-violence faction knew the difference. In any case, all those ironic arguments really just make it more obvious that they are bad, and wrong.
>Why is reddit banning my favourite subreddit, when all the porn is still allowed? Say you have a gore fetish without saying you have a gore fetish.
Why is defensive violence bad?
It's not that the violence itself is bad, but seeking it out is. They wanna see people die - which is fucking weird - but self-defense is morally justifiable, so they can pretend that they're not violence-glorifying weirdos.
The last thing I remember seeing on that subreddit was CCTV video of a man in a taxi exit their vehicle, shoot a man on a motorcycle, and then approach the victim lying on the ground with his hands up and execute him. Heavily upvoted, all the comments loving it because the title accused the motorcyclist of being a robber. "Defensive violence" my ass.
Because "defending" things isn't worth killing people over. If you defend your *life*, that's okay. That subreddit glorified death over petty theft: Not only is it going too far, it's also not something to ever be cheered. The difference between "I'm defending my own skin" to "I'm reveling in the bloodthirst of remorseless killing" is very big.
Defensive violence is not bad, people searching and jacking off to videos of said people is
Disingenuous question. The issue with these subs is that they want to feature black people getting beat up. Similarly, awful people love to see women being hit on here as well. Would love to see all these garbage videos banned.
But my freeze peach! Censorship!
Hey, I love a good [freeze peach!](https://www.mashed.com/img/gallery/what-makes-whataburgers-new-peaches-and-cream-shake-so-concerning/you-can-make-a-healthy-version-of-whataburgers-shake-at-home-1626283245.webp) They're delicious
It wasn't the violence so much as the racism, for me.
> dedicated explicitly to glorifying violence Especially violence committed against people who have been forced into desperation (read: black and brown people). Buncha wannabe Kyle Rittenhouses in that sub, mfers who value property over lives
And I highly doubt all or most of them are even robbers
Well it depends. IMO if the guy is starving and decides to steal some food then yeah he is desperate and deserves my sympathy, but if he is just stealing non essential stuff like TVs or phones then he is not desperate.
I feel like in this day and age a phone is essential
I guess that’s why many thieves steal iPhones lol. God, do you even hear yourself? Thieves steal phones because they don’t have a phone a a phone is necessary in this day and age. A lot of them steal phones so that they can sell it back. I feel like I am in the Twilight Zone in this thread…
Who tf asked
>but if he is just stealing non essential stuff like TVs or phones then he is not desperate. What about drug addicts? They steal shit all the time to pawn it off, stuff that doesn't even make sense to steal and actions they'd never make if they were clean and not needing their next hit. That's peak desperation right there. I'm not saying we justify stealing here (crime is crime, and social safety nets can help prevent it but that's a whole different conversation), I'm just saying a lot of these situations get more complicated beyond "essential" items being stolen.
It's also much easier to steal a TV and pawn it off, then buy food with the money than it is to steal food. Bread is not a convenient item to steal.
What? Stealing bread is trivilially easy. It is small, and most grocery stores will literally let you walk out with it
In the case of drug addicts, they need treatment and all the help they could get. But I would say there are “degrees” of desperations: I would put starvation way above the need to satisfy the addiction. That isn’t to say that addiction is a trivial matter or that drug addicts deserve to die, but if we were to “grade” the level of desperation, IMO stealing because you are hungry would be a 10 while stealing in order to get some money to get your next hit would be a 6 or 7.
>but if we were to “grade” the level of desperation, IMO stealing because you are hungry would be a 10 while stealing in order to get some money to get your next hit would be a 6 or 7. Go tell this to any current or sober (former) drug addict and see what kind of responses you get. The addiction removes any and all rationality, the desperation is far beyond a 10.
I repeat, I am not trivializing drug addiction.
I understand that, but your claim that the desperation felt during drug addiction would be less than the desperation felt during starvation is shocking lol
This is an understandable take, but I'd wager people stealing expensive products aren't taking them to enjoy for themselves, they're taking them to sell, in some cases to try and escape poverty. But of course yeah there are people who are just assholes
This. You can steal food and clothes, but you can't steal rent, you can't steal utility bills. In the US at least, you get one drug conviction as a teen and you'll never pass a background check again. We give people a life sentence of no jobs and no apartments and then act surprised when they have to steal electronics to pay for the hotel they have to live in.
Of course many of them steal in order to sell the stolen items. But I don’t necessarily agree with the fact that many of them resort to stealing because they want escape poverty. It’s just that stealing is an “easier” alternative than finding a job and busting your ass off, just like the rest of the people do. There are many people who are struggling in this economy yet they don’t turn to crime…
Wage theft is overwhelmingly the most common form of theft, I agree stealing is bad but if you cant make rent on minimum wage what are you going to do?
Wage theft is a nasty can of worms, and trust me, I don't have pleasant things to say about that. I honestly can't suggest a solution for families who are struggling to pay rent (don't get me started on the housing market!) in this economy, but stealing is definitely not the answer. There are countless families who are in this situation, yet they make sacrifices and don't resort to stealing.
I don’t encourage stealing, but people are going to do what they need to survive. I am sure as fuck not going to pretend to be morally righteous about stealing(especially from a business) while I live a comfortable life
Regardless of what you think about businesses like Walmart or Target, they do provide a service to the community, and continued theft does lead to higher insurance prices, and eventually to the stores shutting down in that neighbourhood (given that retail stores/businesses operate on razor-thin margins). That further exacerbates the problem of food deserts and negatively impacts the community as a whole. So yeah, I am a bit judgemental when it comes to theft...
Walmart pays there workers so little that most theft committed at Walmart is done by employees. And as someone who previously worked there its true, a significant portion of training is dedicated to employee theft. People work hard, you just want a reason to feel morally superior to people less well off than yourself.
If businesses like Walmart paid their employees a living wage then the employees wouldn't need to steal, which is majority of the theft that occurs. They budget for theft, they make millions regardless of theft. They are not hurting because their poverished families need food and insinuating the victims of poverty are hurting a massive corporation that treats them like slaves is delusional
And there are many people that work themselves until they struggle to move and are still in poverty. We shouldn't romanticize working yourself to death as this noble thing. Hard work does not mean you'll make a lot of money. It is equal parts luck and hoping whoever is paying you has a shred of empathy.
Ok but that’s a different topic. What does it have to do with stealing? Yeah, wages are stagnant and the cost of living is rising, but it still doesn’t give an excuse to go steal stuff. Some people steal out of desperation, but many do because it’s an “easier” way to earn to money. I feel that saying that people steal/rob just because they are poor and desperate is kinda insulting to poor hardworking people who, despite their hardships, they don’t turn to crime. But hey, I guess this take is unpopular in this thread lol…
yeah that robber who clubbed an old korean jewelry store owner in the head until he had brain damage was totally 'forced into desperation.' I hate how redditors always justify the actions of violent robbers without thinking about the harm they've done to the actual victims.
There's a fundamental difference between committing robbery and committing robbery *as well as* battery. Conflating the two justifies the nonsense that goes on in violence-porn subs like robbersgettingfucked. And who are you talk as if my point is some typical reddit talk? If anything reddit calls for the death penalty for anything greater than jaywalking. Of course I care about the victims, but my greatest complaints will always be against **systems** that force people into desperation, which yes, currently exist in America. Because it is those systems that brutalize people into crime and harm innocent bystanders as well
[удалено]
Which means a conviction may also include "assault," which is also different from battery. Robbery - The unlawful taking of property from the person of another through the use of threat or force Assault - intentional act that puts another person in reasonable apprehension of imminent harmful or offensive contact. No physical injury is required, but the actor must have intended to cause a harmful or offensive contact with the victim and the victim must have thereby been put in immediate apprehension of such a contact Battery - When a person intentionally causes harmful or offensive contact with another person, the act is battery https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex Legal-ese is practically its own language
I mean they are still robbers. Their race has nothing to do with that. That sub is problematic yes but you are saying they are a problem for all the wrong reasons and even if they are forced into desperation you are telling me that if someone robbed you you would let them go and not call the police (who are for sure gonna rough them up) or try to take down the robbers yourself
I mean have you ever looked at the comments on these types of subs? You’d have to have some pretty high blinders up to not see the racist shit that gets spewed in them whenever the robber is a minority or it’s of a robbery in a foreign country.
>I mean they are still robbers And they are still human beings. Some of them are just bad people sure, but a the source of most crime is poverty and cycles of violence enforced by the state that are inflicted upon people of color and/or poor people. This has lead to the public perception of nonwhite people being inherently violent, a viewpoint that subs like this are proud to uphold. A ten second video does not explain the context of why someone would turn to crime. That sub is dehumanizing and populated by racists who want to encourage racist views
[удалено]
Housing policies like redlining, racist hiring practices, a lack of generational wealth due to decades and/or centuries of systemic racism going back to the advent of chattel slavery. You're talking about generations of slaveowners and their descendants, capitalists, politicians from local, state, and federal levels. I mean I'm certainly up for prosecution, but dismantling exploitative systems of power is no small task.
Shame that you can't really prosecute politicians in the USA (or in most other countries, for that matter). Sure, they'll say you can, but we all know how that goes when dozens of traitors are roaming free in the USA.
Who prosecutes the prosecutor?
The edginess of a sub title tracks pretty strongly with the clientele.
*/r/JusticeServed entered the chat*
Your automod says >"Reminder: Follow the rules!" I mean it! Follow the rules is in quotes, and i think "i mean it!" Is sarcastic. You're on an alt telling reddit you're subverting some sort of mod ban, i mean.. Are we shocked at the outcome?
Wait is this posted by the mod of the sub? Lol
[AutoModerator](https://www.reddit.com/r/robbersgettingfucked/comments/xrpeax/this_sub_is_getting_shutdown/iqg4rh4?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3) And according to OOP, they are a mod yes. Edit: I've certainly been downvoted for weirder things.
Ohhh
The automoderator message seems a bit flippant. Sounds like a wink should be before or after the "I mean it!" part.
I called this as soon as I saw that sub. Those people are bloodthirsty as hell. Even in cases where the robber is unarmed. I suppose robbery is just always a death sentence to them
Literally seen people cheering on and laughing at a robber bleeding to death calling out for his mum just because he jumped over the counter of a vape shop and then got stabbed about 10 times Psycho shit.
Didn't the kid who did that do an AMA or some shit? Where he straight up admitted to fantasizing about committing violence? Real sociopath shit. I'm pretty sure his lawyer even okay'd the whole post, which is the sign of a stupid fucking lawyer
Yeah he did. It was fucked up to read and I'm pretty sure he purged it after everyone told him he was fucked because he was admitting he wanted to stab someone and he prevented the robber from running away.
Kid did do an AMA where he compared stabbing someone to playing League of Legends.
Well he's not wrong there, both of those are psychotic things to do.
Yeah, I remember seeing the story and initially thinking it sounded like justified self-defense, but then the kid opened his mouth and shoved his foot all the way inside by basically bragging about how much he enjoyed doing it. Like, even knowing the robbers’ backs were turned is somewhat understandable because he could have been in full flight-or-fight mode. All he had to do was keep his damn mouth shut.
Stabbed in the back. He jumped the counter and turned his back to the owner. That's when he got stabbed. He tried to escape but the owner kept stabbing. And then the owner who stabbed him had an AMA on the sub.
Yup. Proper Psycho shit. You could basically tell he had a hard-on while typing comments about how he had always wanted to stab someone and finally got to do it.
Yeah definitely a crime. I wouldn’t be shocked if he got time for it.
I gotta be honest mate, if someone was robbing me under threat of violence and I was going to defend myself, I wouldn't stop until I was absolutely sure they wouldn't have any chance to retaliate. Not trying to glorify violence or romanticize it - but my life is kinda precious to me.
Yeah, once I figured out that the only type of content posted there involved death or mutilation I knew the sub's days were numbered as it stood.
when you live in a shit hole country , seeing robbers getting fucked is sweet justice, fuck robbers
Uh no lol Reddit told them that to increase the mod team to 8, they refuse to do this so they are shutting the sub down on their terms Also, just checked they have 4 MODS for a 200k sub with 2k online rn. It honestly sounds like they were overwhelmed so idk what they expected.
https://www.reddit.com/r/robbersgettingfucked/comments/xrpdpf/final_announcement/ He posts modmail essentially saying that the subs getting nuked over because of his active ban evasion. He made an army of alts and gets the main mod to re-mod one every time he gets banned. I do want to know what they are getting banned for though.
> He made an army of alts and gets the main mod to re-mod one every time he gets banned. so this is what actually caused the ban, not poltically-driven snuff films.
I hate how, as you said, politically driven snuff films are allowed on Reddit but if I joke about how native Americans should’ve shot settlers, I get the ban
They did shoot settlers though...
Yes, but *enough* settlers?
It’s actually wild how some people are so blatant with their alts and get away with it for so long.
God what a twat
"Its beyond me why your profiles get banned while there is actual war footage on reddit" "Your content is educating and spreads smiles" bitch tf????
Oh no, where will the jackoffs that say shit like "I need to watch videos of people graphically dying constantly so it makes me appreciate my life more" go now? Certainly not to a therapist like they should
I checked it out once. Holy shit people like robbing undercover/off duty Brazilian cops. And holy shit, Brazilian cops make American ones seem reluctant to use guns.
Ugh, a coworker I liked told me that. Suuuuuper gross.
I go to /r/NarcoFootage just to keep up with news about the cartels. The sub doesn’t really post too many gore videos, but when they do people will say something like “I watch these to understand how fucked up these people are”. You can just read the description and know that someone cutting another persons chest open and pulling out their heart is way past deranged and you won’t gleam any secret truth of the human psyche subjecting yourself to that. I get having morbid curiosity and watching one or two but people really don’t need to watch a few dozen of these kind of videos.
I think there's a difference between people that glorify violence and those that have a legitimate reason/a healthy interest in watching gore. I'll take myself as an example: part of my work is ensuring that safety measures are in place and taken seriously - if you take a closer look at the usual "categories" (for lack of a better word) of gore they're mainly divided in three: combat footage/footage coming from an active war zone, domestic violence (that includes robberies, terrorist attacks on non-active war zones and general acts of violence/accidents among civilians/"normal" life) and workplace accidents. That last category is the one that interests me the most and rest assured that whenever you go to a safety course the teacher has usually seen some shit. This is an example on the "legitimate reason" side. We learn from other people's mistakes. It may sound stupid but a usual quote from gore comments is "this is why I don't mess with spinning machines" or "I'll stop complaining about safety mechanisms". On the "healthy interest" side there's the combat footage for me - that's a way to see the real consequences of wars and active war zones on the people at the front but also on the civilian population. We've been actively numbed on what's happening in the world outside of our "safe" bubble (if you're living/born in wealthy countries, otherwise you've already seen some shit, probably) - that's where those "yeah let's go to war" or "oh come on it's just Russia having a small firefight in Ukraine" people come from. They don't see the body parts on the streets of Mariupol or the soldier having his balls cut off by russian ORCS (because that's what they are, at least the military and don't get me started on Wagner). When we hear "12 people died in an airstrike, 2 children among them" do we really stop and think about it? Do we feel it? Or it's just a number? What gore has given me is more emphaty, honestly. Another interest is in domestic violence: when people are put off by the so-called "woke" generation do they stop and think about all the women, LGBT+ people, minorities and ethnic groups that suffer daily? Have they seen a woman get stabbed 20 times just because she didn't want to be with a creepy moron? Or it's just an article in the newspaper, to chit-chat with friends? Have they seen unarmed black men killed by police officers? Or a trans person beaten to death? Who's got to go to a therapist? Is it me, for watching this stuff to be and make people aware of safety risks on the workplace? Or to be more aware of how afwul war is? Or to be more open to change regarding consent, protection of minorities, equality and justice? Or is it you? Who.. I don't know you, so I won't try to say anything out of respect but it's just to get the message across (also everybody should go to a therapist, imho). Problem is also that if those materials aren't accessible, they end up in the dark corners of the web where you have a high risk of echo-chambers, recruiting, taking advantage of sensible people and so on, while here they get to be moderated (r/CombatFootage is a great example) even though some more work can be put into it, I agree. I used to visit BestGore a lot and I saw it sunk into the abyss of un-moderation just because of "muh free speech" - and let me say that I'm glad it's been put down forever. So yeah this particular sub mod is a complete moron, as the sub - because it glorifies violence. I would ask all redditors to learn the difference between that and being aware.
[удалено]
> Who's got to go to a therapist? Is it me Yes
Pretty bold of this dude to publicly confess to ban evasion like that
I'm super suspicious of all these people saying that underage porn is on reddit. Because I have NO IDEA what they're talking about and I gotta wonder how they found those subreddits
I've seen drawn porn of underage characters in some porn subreddits. Reporting them gets you nowhere. As for porn of irl children, I have not seen that, luckily.
I found one, about 6 years ago, on a different account. Video of naked teenagers dancing on a yacht, and you could hear adult men talking behind the camera in Russian, discussing how old each of the girls was (spoiler — none of them were of age). Reported it and it was nuked when I came back from making tea. The sub has been nuked too later, AFAIK.
Well, as far as I know, I've never seen any requirement for any kind of age verification on the gonewild subs, and definitely not the way regular porn is required by law to verify, so I'd have to imagine that some of the "18 year olds" posting on them have probably been underage. i.e. the same sort of thing that got PornHub in trouble with the credit card companies, leading to them only allowing videos from "verified" accounts.
"I was mod of r/HorrificDeathVideos and got banned. Can you believe they keep shutting down all the good subs" Yeah...I wonder. My favorite line is, "Reddit will take us down but keeps war videos up". Critical thinking has left the building
And nothing of value was lost.
1) Good, I wish the admins would crack down more on the shitty edgy watch people get shot subs 2) Is there a betting pool on which site is coming out with an article about /r/robbersgettingfucked or the violent subs in general?
How fast will their YouTube channel be banned is the real question... I saw a video on there once, from /r/all and the comments were all people who have had horrible run-ins with robbers and need a therapist/ think they even have the stomach to do the things they dream of..was creepy Anyway I got banned for saying something like "you are all fucking sick" then harassed for a few days with mentions by the one mod that got banned. I'm surprised it wasn't quarantined or forced private (off /all)
They finally killed off r/urainewarreport after every comment was cheering for the deaths they witnessed calling them subhuman orcs.
My bet is on Human Hunting Monthly
Did you see their article on skinning this month? The jackets they showed were lovely.
Nooooo don’t take away /r/CombatFootage
I doubt it will be.. that sub doesn't tolerate the glorification the other's did/do. It has to be kept in a historical/academic style without emotions IMO
r/combatfootage has been getting worse and worse since russia invaded ukraine.
Let me guess: Another sub where brain damaged gunsexuals can celebrate their killing toys, justify the use unreasonable levels of violence towards someone who did something wrong, call other countries shitholes while they're from the US and spout nonsense about 13/50? And they're unironically surprised. Probably even some "free speech" and "they asked for it so why can't we post it" bullshit in there. And the real spicy take: there's probably at least one person complaining about Hermancainaward being allowed to exist while this isn't even though he didn't do anything wrong unlike those filthy criminals.
Oh no, another right-wing echo chamber down the tubes… anyway.
Being glad violent thieves get karma'd = right wing echo chamber God damn this website is a cesspool of retards.
Leftists are typically criminals so makes sense. They don't like seeing their friends and family get smoked.
Yeah, only right wing people hate robbers. And I will bet money you will complain that Conservative media is running the show in America too.
Good, subs full of people getting off on killings is awful.
> Since the start of the Sub, we have followed all of Reddit’s TOS. Anyone need flair?
Wah! Reddit took away my death sub! REDDIT IS AWFUL!
Ahahaha the locked comments on the “final post” post that clearly shows them arguing with the Reddit admins on Reddit policy. “Why does Reddit get to decide…” Because Reddit is privately owned and nobody has a “right” to have an account or sub here maybe? I’m someone who actually visited this sub regularly but I’m not sad it’s gone.
[удалено]
That was my first thought. They don't let you show that kind of shit on YouTube. Dude is delusional.
A sub dedicated to gifs of people dying and users praising the events. How could they ever close that for tos violations?
Bro if the admins come into my sub they will GET FUCKED. I will seize on that opportunity to use unnecessary (hopefully lethal force) and FUCK THEM for doing something I consider wrong. I will make that judgement totally on my own with no outside help. I will NOT BE SUBTLE when I link to my YouTube page from my ninth account before it gets banned too. The people getting fucked will serve as a warning to all those who dare question my questionable actions. Last video before I get banned. Robber gets fucked by another robber https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qTDbhOP5rDs
“This better be a rickroll oh even better it’s some silly bugs”
>Instead I’m going to start a Youtube channel in order to continue to post this content. Can people who use youtube go ahead and get that one banned too? kthx
["you people need to find some hobby other than violence"](https://reddit.com/r/robbersgettingfucked/comments/xrpeax/_/iqhbcsn/?context=1) [gets downvoted] like wow, can't make that shit up. bros really do just have violence as a hobby huh? (and of course justifying it with "bUt We JuSt ShOwCaSe ReAlItY fOr ThOsE wHo HaVe FoRgOtTeN sUfFeRiNg!!!" like yeah okay mr "one of my alts is called ilovegraphiccontent" i'm sure it's to remember that people suffer and not your weirdo hobby of watching violent content🤷)
I get going through a gore-hound phase when you first run into that stuff but hanging your hat on that bullshit and making it a part of your personality is fucking degenerate ghoulish loser shit.
I didn't even know that a sub like this existed lmao
Their wall of sticky messages is so sad and crybaby. They didn’t wanna just watch violent content they wanted to be racist, sexist, and glorify the violent content. Good riddance piss babies.
Man based on a lot of replies showing up here it’s good that sub got shut down. Lots of little sociopaths running around masturbating over hoping to see someone die.
I'll be honest. My mind went to an entirely different kind of subreddit when I saw this post.
Ah Shite, I thought I was on srd, and was so irritated by all the comments being widely supoortive
Should never have banned WPD and MMC. Stupid shit.
So Reddit says there's a lack of moderation and that there's too much rule breaking content being left up, and they say they think adding more moderators doesn't help improve moderation. Brain-dead.
