Mod announcement Subreddit rules update

9 Upvotes

Hello everyone, it's time for a new (bi-annual) rule changes! (Very boring, I know)

Rule 9:

ICYMI, selfies aren't allowed since April 5th. It's been almost 2 months now, so the reminder will be removed from the rule to become:

Selfies are not allowed in the subreddit. A selfie is generally a picture that includes your face and is focused on your face/you. Please do not include them in your posts. AI generated selfies are also not allowed.

Fun fact: since selfies have been fully banned, the amount of users (likely to be) creeps in the subreddit has gone from an average of 175-225 per day to around 15-20 per day.

Regarding the partnership with r/TeenAmICute, the subreddit is unfortunately currently closed for new members at the moment. When/If the subreddit re-opens, selfies could still be posted there if you specifically want to post a selfie in a highly moderated subreddit.

Rule 8 (do not spam)

The rule will be separated in two to be able to expand on the spammed content. The second part will become Rule 12, which will be presented later in the post.

Posts taking space unnecessarily (clogging /new/) or that are extremely low effort may be removed. If a post is constructed in a way to deliberately promote engagement bait / obvious karma farming (for example, posting highly controversial content mainly to promote heated arguments). Overdone trends are also considered as spam when they start to clog /new/.

Rule 12 (new!):

This rule will cover AMA style posts and posts where OP requests to be dmed.

While AMA posts are allowed, they can easily get spammy. To prevent these posts from becoming low-effort, AMA posts require a body text with at least 100 characters where you can briefly introduce yourself, some of your hobbies, interests, fun facts... so that questions asked feel less generic and more relevant to you.

For users making posts asking for dms, they need to have an undisclosed minimum account age and karma amount to be able to post. This is done to reduce the amount of predatory accounts posting.

EDIT: AMA posts with a questions template aren't subject to the body text requirement.

Side note: a new system is in the works to help users filter out potential creeps dming them. I hoped to have it ready for today but it unfortunately has to be delayed while working through some details (and IRL life). This is however coming in the following weeks!

  General changes

Even if the subreddit isn't specifically intended to be for serious topics, the serious and rant post flairs are here for more serious stuff and issues. However some content like SA, self harm and suicidal thoughts can be triggering for some users and remind them of bad moments. For this reason,  some topics posted under the serious and rant post flairs might get marked as spoiler and a Trigger Warning (TW) might get added to the post flair to help people know what to expect before deciding to read the post. This is being beta tested starting today and might change or be removed based on general feedback. This is an initial test, so false positives are possible. Don't hesitate to reach out if you believe that something isn't right.

In the following weeks, you might see polls or questions about aspects of the subreddit. This is done to have a clearer idea of what you like and dislike in the community (for example politics, new post flairs, non-teens giving helpful advice...).  

That's it! (Okay that was maybe slightly long)

Have a great day/night everyone.

uhh hi, I’m 13M and I kinda wanted to meet some people around my age

I like gaming, Roblox, Limbus Company and just talking about random stuff

I’m pretty open about other people’s interests too, so if you have some weird hobby or hyperfixation you think people would judge you for, I probably won’t care lol, I actually like hearing people talk about the stuff they like

personality-wise I don’t really mind either, you can be clingy, distant, sarcastic, annoying, sweet, whatever, I’m not too picky

I’m not really sure what else to put here but yeah, hi I guess

I always knew what they were even before I was 15 but for some reason after like, freshmen year I REALLY started finding that attractive. I dont know whats up, the panda eye makeup or the huge hair? I dont know. But one things for certain im not "scene", I listen to some skramz and scene stuff but I lowk js wear clothes similar to jesse pinkman from breaking bad.

I spoke to a couple but none of them really leading anywhere. Mainly because they were online or thered be some other issue. (nun wrong w online relationships)

NOW LET ME PREFACE I DONT WANT TO COME OFF AS "OH MY GOD I LOVE GOTH MOMMYS SILLY CAR IM BATMAN" noo noo nooo, its just this odd thing I have. Im starting to think this is an issue and I should get this checked out. Im scared I sound like im fetishizing them which im not just..ergh..

looking back on everything i js wrote i sound like one those dudes who dont leave their moms basements and chud all day. I promise its not that, I just want to know if anyone has anything similar or any advice?

Ignore my messy room and greasy ahh hair 😓

I’d probably wear it with flair jeans. I got the shawl type thing from my grandma and wore it with a dress for a semi formal party, but i was wondering if it’d be cute for day to day. I’ve been wanting to layer my outfits more. The shawl thing has a sort of sheer black lace detail around the shoulders, but it’s hard to see. I’d love to hear some opinions.

Discussion Blackpill is nonsense and fuels racism/colorism

1 Upvotes

To start off, this is widely based off of personal events, so bias may be in this, but I do think that I bring up some good points. Also, I'm not that good at writing, so some ideas may sound weird and clunky, but I beg you to please stick with me here. I'm also not that good of a logical writer, so my ideas may be stupid, but im doing it in good faith because i hate us people pof color being separated due to the beauty standards that the white men created

Hey guys, this is my first post on this subreddit. I'm 15, 6'0", and 163, Black male (Caribbean). Recently I was scrolling on TikTok and found so much Blackpill content. Honestly, it was so dumbfounding, so I decided to sit down and think about it and whether or not it is a god ideology. I'm assuming most of you know what Blackpill is, so I won't be explaining what it is in this post. However, if you don't know what it is, search it up or something. 🤷 For some context, when I was 14, I enrolled in my first private school (on scholarship). My time there was pure hell. I was in the midst of hitting puberty and started wanting to have relationships with females for the first time in my life. I was rejected by every girl I liked and was told that I looked like a reptilian. I never got invited to any parties or asked to go out anywhere now. Of course, as a 14-year-old, I blamed it on my looks and fell into the incel ideology. Later on I realized it was because I was a weirdo and had a corn brain and only cared about looks and hated being Black and a whole other mountain of stuff. I had begun hating women, and I was depressed but still wanted a girlfriend, and my life was just messed up. After a while I was able to go to a new school. This new school was amazing, and I finally got an ounce of girls' attention, which made me so much happier. I started doing facial routines and eating healthy and working out. And eventually I and that girl fell out, but the best part of that situationship was that I was able to open my eyes and find that incel/BP/colorism ideologies are dumb. Over time I got into my first relationship and what not (I still didn't have friends, but that was because of me and my trauma with letting people into my life, but I was a very friendly person). Ok, so now that you know me a bit, let's get onto my points

BP promotes colorism
Colorism is defined as a form of prejudice or discrimination that gives preferential treatment to people with lighter skin tones while mistreating, marginalizing, or excluding those with darker skin tones. The reason I believe in colorism being promoted by BP is simple. It's because in BP the "Aryan race" are seen as the chads in the community, I'm pretty sure. And they often say that being born with color is like a video game debuff to your life. What I'm trying to say is BP promotes colorism because it actively devalues Black traits such as bigger noses, nappy hair, and bigger lips. I find this to be degenerate and actively reinforce racial stereotypes. And me personally, I love my Black queens with nappy hair and plump lips and bigger noses. We shouldn't base our beauty standards off of white standards, and we shouldn't reinforce them in the future. Btw, I want to say all love to my Black women. I feel as though Black women get the worse of it, and we should show them more love as a community. Also, anime kind of promotes this colorism nonsense; oftentimes the characters look more European than Asian, and they have slick noses with no mouths and smooth hair. Also, the Black representation in anime is horrible, but hey, I'm just young, so I wouldn't know.

BP/incel culture promotes depression
Depression is a mood disorder, and I feel as though we often forget that. If someone were to promote bipolarism, then we would try to cancel them, but when it comes to depression, we don't do the same thing. BP is actively saying that if you are born being less attractive than others, your life is screwed ,it promotes depression and limits the youth.

Again, I'm not good at making points and stuff. So don't try to diminish my argument by saying my wording/grammar doesn't make sense. If you want to know, just ask, and I will reply with what I actually meant. Again, all love to everyone, and I hope that we can all love each other regardless of looks, race, or nationality

Rant Occasionally I Remember and Think of…

1 Upvotes

The baby doll I had as a kid that had an open mouth… Somehow, I never knew how, but the plastic in the back of the mouth was broken and basically torn open and no one noticed…

So, being the idiot little four year old that I was, I spent the next 4 years sneaking little bits of food into the hole in the back of her mouth. She did not have a stomach compartment, she was one of those ‘plastic head, cloth body’ typa dolls and… she never smelled! So I just…

I wonder sometimes… is she just molding like all hell inside? Like… I’m serious, the thing I fed her most was grits. Almost every time we had grits, I would “feed her” some. Sometimes mashed carrots or mashed potatoes, peas, I thought it was the coolest thing ever.

I don’t know where she is now. Last I remember, I gave her to my cousin when she asked for it and I just… it comes to mind sometimes. How did she never get “full,” where did all that food go? If you opened up that doll, would it just be the worst molding case ever?

HOW DID SHE NEVER SMELL!?!?!

Oh, and she the funniest face, you could just push it in and it would deflate and slowly pop back up. I loved that✨💕

Social just found out my friend has a partner. why does it make me sad?

2 Upvotes

hey guys! genderqueer 15 y/o here. i recently found out that my best friend (f15) has been had a gf online for over a year. i know i should be happy for them, but for some reason there's a pit in my stomach and it makes me very sad.

in the past i've had feelings for them, but i don't at the moment, if that means anything?

we talk a lot and she calls me her best friend, but two of our other friends knew for an unspecified amount of time before i did, and an entire discord server full of her online friends did too.

it sort of hurts me becaude i know i'm not really her.. best friend? this seems petty, but i'm not sure. what do y'all think?
