History Website / Reddit

* NotSafeForWork: There's a lot of NSFW subreddits though most are just flat out pornography. All of them require you to be 18 or older.

Although Reddit isn't a wiki, TheWikiRule is in full effect here, since users have the power to create their own subreddits on pretty much any topic. In fact, it is probably because of ''this'' very aspect of Reddit that it has proven to be actually ''more'' addictive than Website/TVTropes. Don't believe us? [[http://www.reddit.com/ Here,]] try it for yourself, but don't say we didn't warn you.

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/jlbdf/2_am_ice_chili_shower/ This post caused]] at least 30 accounts so far to delete themselves after [[DespairEventHorizon announcing they would leave reddit forever.]]

*** Out of this list special mention goes to the most downvoted comment which not only has over 7 times more downvotes than the second most downvoted comment, but the main post it was commented on now has the special flair of "the pride and accomplishment thread" to refer to the infamous comment.

* EskimosArentReal: There's an [[MemeticMutation infamous]] post by a person who grew up believing that Finland isn't a real country, explaining that his parents convinced him that Finland was in was just an elaborate conspiracy [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext created by Japan to get around fishing regulations.]] The post eventually led to the creation of an entire (satirical) subreddit dedicated to exposing the "Finland conspiracy".

* ''WebComics/Polandball''

* ''WebComic/Polandball''

* ''Webcomic/Polandball''

* DisproportionateRetribution: The whole point of [[http://www.reddit.com/r/pettyrevenge /r/pettyrevenge]].

** r/ACAB is the logical extreme of this — in their minds, ''all'' cops are ''inherently'' '''absolutely ''composed'' of pure grime'''.

* {{Creepypasta}}: [[http://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep r/nosleep]] is Reddit's equivalent, though the mods scrub away badly-written examples.

* InternetCounterattack: [[https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsBattlefront/comments/7cff0b/seriously_i_paid_80_to_have_vader_locked/dppum98/?context=3 EA's attempt]] to justify its controversial ''VideoGame/StarWarsBattlefrontII2017'' [[BribingYourWayToVictory microtransaction policy]] was ''not'' well received, suffice it to say. The fandom responded by brigading the thread and downvoting its most popular response: ''"The intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment"'', to '''-668,000''', making it by far and away the most downvoted comment in the site's history[[note]]A feat that actually '''''[[https://www.pcgamer.com/eas-infamous-defense-of-lootboxes-wins-a-guinness-world-record-for-most-downvoted-comment-on-reddit/ earned them an official Guinness World Record]]'''''. To put that in perspective, the second most downvoted comment, with over 89,000 downvotes, ''literally asked for them'' while the most downvoted comment that isn't done as a joke is almost -60000 due to a perceived mod abuse from a Roll20 subreddit[[/note]].

* StrawFeminist: A [[TakeThatUs self-mocking]], ironic RunningGag on the SRS "fempire", used to mock accusations of being radical feminists. Also used, unironically, by its detractors.

** [[http://www.reddit.com/r/ooer /r/ooer]] looks like something a {{Manchild}} MadArtist cobbled together after about a week of learning CSS.[[note]][[http://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/1sf7dc/what_exactly_is_rooer Evidently]] a subreddit created by the eponymous /u/Ooer, which was originally for his own use to practice CSS programming. He eventually handed over the subreddit to his friends, which is how it ended up looking crazier and crazier. The subreddit continues to be maintaiend due to positive reception.[[/note]]

** [[https://www.reddit.com/r/HermanCainAward/ r/HermanCainAward]] is dedicated to vocal antivaxxers[[note]]Meaning the must have made their beliefs public, via interviews, social media posts; etc.[[/note]] that have lost their lives to the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic.

** [[https://www.reddit.com/r/technicallythetruth r/technicallythetruth]] exists to document statements that are, well, technically the truth.

* ThePeepingTom: In a major scandal (crassly dubbed "[[ADateWithRosiePalms the Fappening]]") where many celebrities' private nude photos were illegally copied from their phones, Reddit promptly became a hub for people distributing the leaked images. The offending subreddits were eventually shut down by the site admins, amid much controversy - but not before they'd reached critical mass, with the material spread so much as to have become trivial to find with a Google search.

* DirtyCop: Cops are one of Reddit's AcceptableProfessionalTargets. There isn't a day that goes by without a Website/YouTube video being posted of [[PoliceBrutality a cop chokeholding or bodyslamming someone]]. It's enough to turn the most strident law-and-order hardliner into an anarchist. Often redditors have to remind themselves that most cops are not so cruel as the ones shown.

*** [[https://www.reddit.com/r/leopardsatemyface/ r/LeopardsAteMyFace]] quotes a tweet from author Adrian Bott that gave their subreddit its name as the first part of the subreddit's description: "'I Never Thought Leopards Would Eat MY Face,' Sobs Woman Who Voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party". The subreddit is about the schadenfreude anytime someone is upset because they're suffering consequences from something they voted for, supported, wanted to impose on other people. It has nothing to do with animal attacks or faces being eaten, as the subreddit has explicit rules against those things.
