Why does the 'dex make people so butthurt? Most complainers I see elsewhere come off as massive casuals getting rectally rectangled that there are people who don't put up with their shit in video games.

Codex is butthurt personified. And when they visit & look in the abyss - it warps and twists them causing neurological damage in the rectal areas.

Funny how none of the top comments are discussing the actual content but are just butthurt at the codex. Typical reddit.

Top comments in reddit are the most upvoted, though. They aren't in cronological order.

Not liking certain videogames is enough when videogames are the only thing giving any sort of meaning to your life.

Here's what an average Redditor looks like when he asks in his high-pitched, screeching voice "Why would anyone want to be part of this community?"

Why is the stereotype of Reddit as a place for leftists prevalent here? Look at the names of the main leftist subreddits; they all express anti-Reddit sentiment (ShitRedditSays, Negareddit, AgainstHateSubreddits) and many of Reddit's views (men have it worse than women, the humanities are useless) are unpalatable to leftists. Lumping all your enemies together is satisfying, but is ultimately a sign of stunted intellectual development.

"not for misogynists or racists"


Really? Retards like these or any kind of nofap-tier autists are your best examples of "right wing" Subreddits? The Donald thrives on memes more than anything else, too. I don't know if this is a showcase of your generally poor judgement or if you're trying to defend reddit.

I can count several times where redditors have completely shat on several online communities with their presence and reach. Especially some volafile pages, meant to be file sharing spaces as they used to be some years ago, where you could just share stuff without having any kind of corporate shill taking it down... but that's until some redditor comes here, shares the page with their retarded faggot friends in this fucking reddit, and gives notice of it to corporate shills who proceed to DMCA everything to hell and back again. Reddit ruins everyting on the internet. They do not creae anything at all and they are there as a gathering place for normies.

I hope this makes it somewhat clear.

They are right-wing alright; just because they aren't your favourite flavour of right-wing ideology doesn't mean they aren't right-wing.

where you could just share stuff without having any kind of corporate shill taking it down...

Some people think that law=morality; they don't have to be shills.

Read about Kohlberg's stages of moral development.

but that's until some redditor comes here

Have you got evidence that these people are redditors other than stereotypes?

shares the page with their retarded faggot friends in this fucking reddit

Reddit is a very diverse community; take your average r/The_Donald and r/socialism users and their opinions will be complete opposites. Just because a few redditors crashed your party doesn't mean that all of Reddit is evil.

Reddit hasn't touched the holy Codex much at all.

They do not creae anything at all

There is plenty of OC on Reddit. RPGCodex doesn't create anything meaningful.

they are there as a gathering place for normies.

Many of the Reddit hivemind's opinions would be highly repulsive to the average person.

Show us meaningful OC from reddit. Please do.

Meaningful ≠ good. Reddit culture has far more influence on the web than the Codex, so much that a website can thrive mainly using stolen memes from Reddit. RPG Codex has zilch. Nada. Nothing.

A few tiny, isolated and reviled right-wing ghettos (including the edgefags and angry virgins to pad out the numbers) = diversity

r/The_Donald: 393,079 centipedes.

r/Socialism: 87,689 comrades.

The core of reddit (the defaults), by the way, is apolitical, and when political stances are taken, it is an eclectic and incoherent mess of right-wing and left-wing points that is oddly similar to the latest clickbait said poster actually bothered to read (exaggeration here, but this is the Codex)

You had to answer to my post in this retarded manner, didn't you... I have to insist though, if the right wng has to resort to the kind of people who think that refusing to masturbate will give them special powers then they are getting a bit desperate. Also, corporate shilling has nothing to do with morality, it just means you like to take it up the ass.

"meaningful content = memes"

No shit, reddit has more users than the Codex which focuses mainly on CRPGs, a niche within a niche. What kind of "meaningful" content do you expect besides reviews, interviews, crpg books, etc.?

Jesus, I got your point of view from the response I quoted earlier. I asked for examples. Still have none.
What I've seen on reddit, what goes by "Original Content", is either a photo/gif, which is posted on reddit, imgur, giphy, various imageboards and wherever possible within minutes/hours. Or a piece of software, which is originally posted on a specific site and only then goes to be posted on some subreddit (e.g. Neofetch, which was posted in r/unixporn but I will not consider it reddit's OC).

r/politics, r/worldnews, r/news. r/twox, are apolitical. :lol:
And you forgot all the SRS clones, dozens of anti-trump subs (new ones every fortnight!), plus antifa. :salute:

Reddit is simply rejected 4chan memes and /pol/ and leftypol runoff. There's nothing original on that site. It's the worst of the worst of internet culture, a Frankenstein of stolen images and news. And yes, a shit site with literally millions more users than the codex is going to have more influence but quantity does not equal quality.

And hopefully the "Reddit is apolitical" thing is sarcasm.

The only merit i see in reddit is that they shit on Planet Fitness in the sports subs like weightlifting. PF is the Bioware of gyms but fortunately they dont have much support on any forum dispite being a massive gym chain. This might seem like a useless thing, but its a war well worth winning. I dont want to think about "toxic masculinity" and "bodyshaming" when im attempting to bench 300 pounds. That noise has no place in a real gym. The temple of iron accepts all those who lift anyway.

Still stuck at Stage 3-ish, I see.

If it would be unknown without Reddit and the individual is an active Redditor, I would say it is Reddit OC (You don't necessarily meet either of the criteria though)

What kind of "meaningful" content do you expect besides reviews, interviews, crpg books, etc.?
Reddit also produces original text content; stories in subreddits such as AskReddit, TakesFrom[insert job here], etc. can be quite long; r/AskHistorians has quality historical discussion and specialised subreddits such as r/headphones can have a wealth of info about their topic.

Reddit is simply rejected 4chan memes and /pol/ and leftypol runoff. There's nothing original on that site.

I think Reddit produces at least some original memes, and they also produce other sorts of OC. Take your time to browse an creation-focused subreddit (r/characterdrawings, r/worldbuilding)

And hopefully the "Reddit is apolitical" thing is sarcasm.

Given the Codex's political views, they are of course going to see Reddit as leftist.

Left isn't the only political viewpoint. Apolitical implies "no politics" or indifferent, which Reddit certainly is not.

Halfway through the page linked in the OP. I'm assuming that the discouraged user was a brave codexer who forgot he was in a safe space.

Damn, those comments there are amazing, so much edge and /r/iamverysmart potential

That's the Codex for you. They have a unique culture there. Good as a resource, but I wouldn't go there for commentary.

[removed]

Unfortunately your comment has been removed because your Reddit account is less than a day old OR your comment karma is negative. This filter is in effect to minimize spam and trolling from new accounts. Moderators will not put your comment back up.

Reddit in a nutshell. You're free to call someone a retard as long as you're subtle about it.

edit: Also, I upvoted The Brazilian Slaughter. Not sure if feel dirty or clean.
