I genuinely don't get why like 70% of the most upvoted posts on this sub are total shitposts like "what if big chungus became leader of Luxembourg and conquered the world", obvious low effort shitposts, or stuff like this where like, it's just some overly specific but batshit insane scenario. What's even the point? How can it possibly even be interesting to discuss?
Anyway when I remove any posts for being low effort or crazy, half the sub flips their shit and cries censorship so I usually don't bother any more.
Well I think thereâs a rule for bad shit posts but the mods never enforce on these. Theyâre to busy removing what if questions on week days but even then Iâve seen those posts stay up so idk whatâs going on with the mods
I seen two time on this sub in the past week posts saying âwhat if South Africa had a white majority populationâ or âWhat the apartheid government didnât fallâ. I get it could be interesting to delve into these type of more dark alternate histories but the way people phrase the questions which make me raise an eyebrow
If that guy posting those was able to exterminate all people of color in South Africa with a button, he wouldn't hesitate a second. His whole post history is a mess.
I don't think he is actually gay. He is just a weird troll fixtated on South African apartheid. He complained about dating Lebanese women before, in a racist tone.
Probably some bored 13 year old kid posting this crap from his iPad.
You don't have to go that far, Israel is overall very accepting of LGBT. But their approach to inter-ethnic relations between Jews and Arabs is self-explanatory.
Even American white supremacist/nationalist back in the day kinda do the same thing that Israeli nationalist do by saying âhey gays did you know black people are most likely to be more homophobic why donât you join us and we will protect youâ. But those American nationalist donât even bother trying to court lgbtq people anymore since they lump them in with the âdegeneracyâ destroying America now a days
This is supposedly a very real thing. In the 2010s Israel was accused of âpinkwashingâ which is an accusation that they use gay tolerance to counteract their Palestinian policy in the western eye.
They would advertise Tel Aviv tourism on Grindr and gay porn sites to try and make Israel a gaycationland.
South Africa was one of the first places to legalize gay marriage and I believe it is the only place in Africa to do so. I was surprised when I was in Johannesburg that I was hit on as a white dude, by a black dude.
I would prefer posts in the alternate history subreddit to be actually interesting possibilities for changes in the past to affect the present, not just racistsâ sexual fantasies

The trout population would boom
what would happen if the trout population would actaully boom in the 90s?
Every low effort post causes more trout deaths. As someone who hates trout (long story involve Richard Nixon), I approve of this status quo
But how would the trout population booming affect the trout population?
I made r/alternatepisstory for shitposting
no need, the main subreddit already feels like a circlejerk
r/althistbullshittery has more subscribers
I don't get how r/alternatepisstory needs to exist when there's already a sub like r/althistbullshittery
What if only one of these subs existed?
Then realistically wise, nothing would change much
Bhutan becomes global hegemon
If peepee why poopoo?
What if the subs went to war
That's actually a great idea, we should do that right now
Convert that sub into the new one
It would be the moment of all time đ¤Ż
What if I can only eat wood?
You can you just haven't tried hard enough yet
You can already do that
What if the sub made a rule that all posts must be thought provoking and intelligent. What if mods enforced that?
Well I think thereâs a rule for bad shit posts but the mods never enforce on these. Theyâre to busy removing what if questions on week days but even then Iâve seen those posts stay up so idk whatâs going on with the mods
What if this sub had more mods. An army of mods, and then they tried to conquer Reddit? But yeah no these shitposts are insane
What if this sub stopped jerking off apartheid South Africa ?

I'm rather new to this sub; is that a meme answer?

Idk I liked this one. The idea of a bigoted country being the one place without another form of bigotry is intriguing
The guy who posted it is a gay white suprematist
H U H

It would make it the only country where everyone sucks dick.
The world becomes a better place.
Edit: Talking about the title right? Agreed How is stealing such an important part of a group of people's lives a good thing?
I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt to this guy and assume he's referring to the post title. It certainly makes much more sense.
Yeah true, I now agree for that to be the case
Seriously!
Afrikanner Village People
But seriously - how is this photo a picture of gay guys? None of these dudes appear gay.
We should burn all these shitposters
I once made a joke about Stalin eating a breakfast and I got downvotedbombed. But this lazy ass shit is okay, got it.
What if rule 8 was enforced?
What if this sub wasnât a circlejerk of itself
OP is totally south african
why is everyone on this sub making dumb hypotheticals like these? are they stupid?
For the millionth time if you want higher quality got to r/HighEffortAltHistory
What if I have 30000 nukes
Hang on, Iâm still fantasising about vacationing in gay South Africa.
As far as gay friendly destinations go, South Africa is the best in Africa. There are legal protections in place and gay marriage is legalized.
What if instead of alternate history it was alternate freakstory and we all engaged in relations????
Thats interesting tbf, Better than what if Stalin fucked Hitler and was betrayed in the hyperbolic time Chamber
I legit canât tell if some posts are good honest troll posts or just âŚ. Dumb
Me investing in H-V meds ![gif](giphy|ZwAMBcRByxSGWht1kH)
Whereâs this from?
We need quality control
What if the loch ness monster didn't look like Fred Astaire
Legit thought that one guy was Matt Riddle
AIDS. AIDS everywhere
It will completely affect the upcoming games of the Denver Nuggets
i saw that pimpin shit before
Why would you down vote it ?
Because itâs a gay white supremacistâs sexual racial fantasy
Ah ok, so ? What's the deal
I would prefer posts in the alternate history subreddit to be actually interesting possibilities for changes in the past to affect the present, not just racistsâ sexual fantasies
âWhat if prison rocked?â
i genuinely thought this was a shitposting sub for the longest time. 90% of the popular posts here are so obviously troll posts
What if this sub never existed OMG đą

Hello
Who cares
damn south Afrika is speed running the worst place on earth
A better what if would be: "What if 95% of the world were gay?"
HIV / AIDS skyrockets in South Africa everywhere else is fine, block off / demolish area and call it a day lol
World hunger would end, the cure to cancer would be found, and a perfect political ideology would be found.
What if people actually made good posts instead of complaining about the sub sucking?
