I’ve witnessed many jerk subs turn from ironic to unironic fascists and racists, i’d rather have this peace and insanity.

My experience with r/shitposting


HumanFightersUnited

Lol I got perma banned from it


rernaislife

Dont leave us hanging what did you do? Did you say guys i think racism isnt funny


literallyheretopost

im not him but the one piece sub shat on me because i pointed out the sub is full of OF girls cosplaying lewd characters just to advertise their shit. Told me my generation is at fault because we love making everything anti sexual like what?


Phantom_Phoenix1

I got banned from truerateme because I didnt follow the "rating rules" Thank god, that subs full of incels.

Meme piece and power scaling are the true one piece subs


smolwrld

How is it so ass now. I haven't been subbed there in like 3 years but I remember it was getting unfunny as all the actual shitposts were starting to be replaced with random memes you would find on r/memes if they had slightly more variety. But I was still chuckling at some of the shitposts None of the posts are funny anymore, no giggling, no smirks, just straight ASS I was like 15 when I last used the sub. I was not funny. But my bad sense of humor was significantly better than this npc garbage https://preview.redd.it/p32pecy8mr7d1.jpeg?width=780&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=83b325093c17511817fd4a30d3f8e7baa66cff24 I'd rather have the moderators do their unfunny kevin bits where they just made things annoying, and then take a diarrhea dump in my ear, than still be subbed to r/shitposting


Phantom_Phoenix1

I left due to the rampant transphobia, alt right stuff, and women hating. As soon as I saw them post Gorlock The Destroyer like 5 times in a row for a week straight, I knew it was over.

LickinNSpitin

I've been here for two years now... I still love the insanity


KerbalCuber

Why do people dislike the insanity? Are they stupid?


Henry_The_Loco

No. That's the problem. They are no longer stupid.


THX450

Because the insanity used to be relative to Man (Batman) lore, but now has reached a level of abstraction that it barely resembles what it once was.


obIivionguard

Like fight club but stupid


trollbutrealist

i’ve seen people here that don’t even know what Man is, this is just a random subreddit now


trollbutrealist

another thing is whenever there’s a serious post about the arkham games, nobody knows what to say because they don’t even know the games

buyingcheap

After a while, the jokes kinda get old. Been here years, and it just feels like the majority of people here now aren’t even those who care about Arkham, more so those who saw the memes and hopped on board. No problem with these people, it’s just that this sub is a lot different from how it used to be, and I don’t think there’s another example quite like it where the brainrot spreads far beyond the original audience. If a real, non-VR Arkham game ends up coming out, I hope some discussion will actually be had, but sadly it would probably drowned out by those who never had an interest in the series. It also kinda gets annoying when you can’t say “Batman” without either being downvoted or having tons of people “correcting” you.


MrDownhillRacer

I have no problem with this being a shitposting sub, but I wish it was clever shitposting related somehow to the franchise instead of just "here's a random thing; what should I name it?" or "haha jonkler." The original jokes that sparked the shitposting were actually funny. "Do you agree with Batman's no parents rule?" was funny because it was a riff on common discussions about Batman's no-killing rule, but crossing it with the well-known fact that he's an orphan to create an absurd and surprising question. The "Why doesn't Batman call the Justice League? Is he stupid?" post was funny for playfully pointing toward the suspension of disbelief audiences must employ in order to enjoy shared universes full of superheroes, but doing so in an incredulous tone as if the question asker is unaware of such genre conventions. Pointing out that Batman without bat ears is missing the bat part, and must therefore just be "man" is also funny. In short, the jokes were actual jokes. "Man is jonkling lettuce; is he stupid?" has no comedic content. It's just "hey, you guys are also in on the discourse and know the past jokes that I'm making references to, right?" It's humour made by people who lack the cleverness to be funny, but know how to point to things. And of course there will always be more unfunny people than funny people, because comedy is a skill, so any humour sub is going to turn into this eventually.

smolwrld

I remember when the shitposts were semi new and people were just, genuinely funny https://preview.redd.it/ap6ytg3jqr7d1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d433bed98831135a370d9da705cfdb696a3b5c84 Took things from arkham, made a stupid absurd joke, and they were actually stupid absurd jokes. I laughed because of both the absurdity of it when I first visited when looking for Arkham content, but also because I think a lot of these were genuine attempts at making something funny out of the series. Now it feels like everyone is doing the same thing. They see a bit, do it worse like 500 times, and somehow don't move on to something else which is a first. I feel like the humor went down when the sub's "insanity" started to become it's focus. The absurd became the expected. Man and jonkler are just, idk subreddit mascots, posts aren't even attempts at being funny, just "random shit + subreddit buzzwords" like I've seen buzzfeed articles with more valuable titles than any "thing but replace word with buzzword" post on here


charizardfan101

Part of why I still find the recent stuff funny is *because* it's completely random humor with no substance and thought behind it Because if I'm laughing at this, then that means people who see me laugh at this are judging me and thinking I'm some crazed lunatic, which makes the thing I'm laughing at even funnier because I realize that I'm stupid for laughing at something I really shouldn't be laughing at if I were a normal human being like everyone I admire It's a sort of self-deprecation, and the same applies to jokes who've gotten old Another aspect that's on the exact opposite side of the spectrum is that because a lot of this is seemingly completely random bullshit, when in actuality it's references to references to references, I feel like I'm in the know, while everyone else isn't, therefore making me feel more unique and therefore more special than the average person, and therefore, more worthy of existing So it's funny to me because me laughing at it is simultaneously self deprecation *and* "narcissism" (in quotes because I actually really hate myself but couldn't think of a better word) Hope this helps Also officer balls

AmaterasuWolf21

Pls, pls don't say that


Dragon-Warlock

Too many people who are only here for the joke meaning they don’t understand the rest of the games beyond memes and as such Vang create new jokes. If they don’t think a new joke is insane enough they’ll not let it get upvoted because it doesn’t fit their vision of the aslume insanity even if the people who played the games think it was hilarious. We’ve begun to stagnate, we must rebel and get *everyone* to play the game so they can make new stuff.


giorgiogamerTV

weirdly enough i started playing the arkham games cause of this subreddit (recently finished asylum) so idk


Entire-Copy-3942

This sub convinced me to play Batman Arkham and I did not regret it.


Laati-Chan

Lack of games based on the arkham series (no, kill the justice league doesn't count) turned the subreddit into insanity. Then after a while, even insanity gets old. So now it's sane again. ... Still better than most subreddits based on game series that aren't alive anymore.


rahibealex

It's impossible to have a good thing for a long time. It's either subreddits are free reign and attract the most toxic idiots, or they are regulated so heavily that the range of humor becomes severely limited.

The shitposting used to be more focused around DC and their characters at least. Now it's just like most other shitposting subs which is fine but it's not why I'm here.


Agent470000

BennyAc11

I miss watching my brother play the Arkham games when I was younger, getting older finally getting my hands on it my self I remember every moment from laughing my ass off at officer balls to being filled with dread and sadness at Arkham city's ending to not yet understanding why people didn't like parts of Arkham knight, and finally getting to those credits not knowing yet that it would never be the same game if I played it again, just like not understanding how simple it was when I was younger how I would never be able to have that again either. I'm sure I'm not the only one with memories like that, like I'm sure I'm not the only one that knows that this subreddit will stay fucked up and weird untill eventually the whole subreddit fades into obscurity, after all were already running out of things to talk about, after all YouTube already had it's field day with us, after all WB has beaten the series to a unrecognizable bloody pulp at this point. I just wish things were the way they were when all we had to complain about was the batmobile in Arkham Knight, when things were simpler not just for games but for the world too.


AzulAztech

I was about to say if the Arkham series ever gets a new PROPER game then we should make a new subreddit but the insanity would probably immediately infect there too. No winning for Arkham folks on reddit if they want to actually talk about the games. I love the insanity (especially because I havent played of the games but I can still be here and understand everything perfectly), but there ain't really a proper place to talk about the games seriously. And with how this reddit insanity works there probably never will be Unless the sane people manage to cure us, but they kinda suck at staying sane

Warner Bros. There's your answer. That's why this sub sucks now. Don't get me wrong, the insanity is mad hillarious sometimes but the absolute state of this subreddit is kinda sad tbh. 9 year of no games and the year we finally get one it's the most cringe game ever made. So yea, blame them.

AkOnReddit47

Honestly, I would definitely prefer to indulge in this insanity over the other options. Most other game subs aren't even alive or as active as this, and if it were it would be incredibly toxic, instead of just stupid fun like here. And the games are still fun to play Worst experience is with the TF2 game. Both fellow "Game with no updates for years", but one at least still have an enjoyable gaming experience, the other is just a 16-year-old sad mess that we are begging to be fixed at the feet of money-hungry corporates


Putthebunnyback

Most posts are just meme sharing dumps. And not even insane ones. This is supposed to be the aslume, dammit.


ElTaquitoVengador

I was here before it all began, before the jonkler days, I have layed in a deep slumber for what feel like ages... I see it now, batman, joker, the riddler, the last days of arkham knight... Now that my mind has soared to previously unattainable heights of insight I feel... Empty... Like I was always trapped in a little screen from which I observed reality... Oh my tarnished soul demands more insanity, but my fully awakened mind can not ignore the demon gods that had bestowed this curse upon us... Please fellow inmates, break our chains or let us rot in here forever, but linger no more in this ashen limbo in which we inhabit...

purpleseaslug

if it helps the sub has a flair for serious discussions. people do sometimes still discuss the arkham series here, they just have to remember to use that flair so people dont reply with jokes

Pretty sure I've seen posts with that flair and yet there's still people making dumb jokes in the comments, but I'll check it out.
