does this really deserve to be the #1 post on reddit? i’m really asking.
don’t accuse me of being offended or anything, trust me, that’s not the reason i’m asking this question.
this is not good content. it’s maybe worth a “heh” if you have a really simple sense of humor. personally i don’t think it’s funny, i think it’s just stupid… but i can see how someone with brain damage might get a chuckle out of this and i’m not here to shit on their parade.
but objectively, even if the 7,600 mentally handicapped people who upvoted this think this is comedy gold… those of us who are older than 12 and made it through childhood without any major hits to the skull or extended periods of oxygen deprivation to the brain…
we remember a time when when the top #1 post on reddit would almost always be either interesting, informative, or actually funny. sometimes all three.
turning the word trump into “tiny penis” just isn’t my type of humor. because i’m an adult and not a complete fucking idiot who laughs at tiny penis jokes (no incorporating trump into the joke doesn’t make it funnier, because it’s a subject that’s been beaten to death. it makes it less funny. way less funny. has anyone ever heard of the phrase beating a dead horse? now combine that with tiny penis.
please believe me when i say this is not a political post or statement. it’s a statement on the state of reddit. or the generation of people younger than me maybe? maybe everyone who isn’t autistic left reddit and i’m the idiot because i’m still here wondering why this is the top post and where the quality content dissappeared to? i honestly don’t know. everyday the world gets more confsing to me.
tl;dr: this is not the same site it used to be. that’s not a good thing. it reminds me of digg right before it’s demise.
this post itself doesn’t irritate me on it’s own. i see lots of shit i skip over every day without thinking twice about it. it’s the fact that this made it to #1. that’s what concerns me about the direction this entire website is heading.
