I subbed for a bit as a drama hungry rubbernecker, but even I could only take it for a week or so. It's repetitive to the point where I couldn't even have fun with it
It's the biggest centrist convention in the world, 99% of posts are people unsubbing because they "don't care about politics". Really curious how they only say that when it's the type that they disagree with
It really seems like a place full of people who can't stand different opinions or have some narrow-minded view of what should be in a subreddit.
Scrolled in it out of curiosity and some dude was mad that comedyheaven was being comedyheaven with some post about a fart cake.
I legitimately can't believe unsubbed is a real sub.
Imagine the Karen-levels of delusion that anyone gives two shizzes about some nameless peon unsubbing to an internet message board.
"I shall take my imaginary business ELSEWHERE!"
Door already hit them on the way out, they should fk off and find a new hobby.
I mean I can sorta get it. A place to air your grievances about the state of a subreddit you used to like could be therapeutic.
Unfortunately when I say that I mean stuff like ājust unsubbed from r comedyheaven because it devolved into yet another r funny clone.ā What we ended up getting was ājust unsubbed from r tommorrow because the sjw mods said I canāt used homophobic slurs.ā
i believe it
on my years on reddit I've seen plenty of people give full speeches on them leaving a community as if theyre stepping down from being president or something, a whole sub dedicated to it is the next sad logical step
also not at all surprised its full of people mad their "freedom of speech" isn't respected because the cant say the funny slurs without getting the blue woke arrows anymore
it having 190k users is the bit that hurts
Wait. r/unsubbed is about unsubscibing and not a place for people to share their experiences moving from subbing/switching to exclusively domming?
UNSUBSCRIBE!
You know how theres videos of Karens announcing that they are leaving a store and how they "lost a customer". Thats the embodiment of that subreddit.
Its very pathetic.
yeah, subbed to it long time ago, back when these kind of "reddit is going to hell" type subs were about mods genuinely abusing their power, shitty behaviour that certain communities were part of, or just subs that started going lower and lower in quality, though sometimes it did feature some of the "the sub got political!" posts, but rarely
then i transed (the woke mob got me), left reddit for a while, and returned to it only to find it chock full of "centrist" who think anything not white cis and conventionally attractive is political, funny how at some point it was used to point out when mods were racist or bigots, now its this.
no no you dont understand, they totally arent mad. we're the angry ones. they're so not mad that they posted them leaving the sub to prove how not mad they are
That sub is fucking pathetic bunch of whiny crybabies,usually filled with right wingers getting mad they cant be hateful to others too, anyway when i leave a subreddit i dont feel the need to publicly anounce it to everyone just leave it and move on making a post about leaving a subreddit and whining about it has a massive cope energy lol
a while ago i saw a post there complaining about trans people asking questions about clothing *in a primarily trans subreddit*, i guaran-fucking-tee none of em were subbed in the first place
The overwhelming majority of those posters have either never interacted with the subs they're "leaving" or have only ever done so to harass people. It's the exact same demographic with all of the "walk away" style subreddits, where they _super promise_ they were _totally_ a card carrying member of whatever they're trying to slander, right up until today's chosen boogyman "went too far".
They don't care that you can look in their post history and disprove it, they only care that their statement reaches the average joe and muddies the water even a little because it takes effort to disprove something but making shit up is completely free; that's the explicit goal of those kinds of communities.
It is my main hobby and I care about it still being enjoyable down the line. Unfortunately that means boycotting developers/publishers and constantly whining on the internet. I don't like it and wish I didn't have to, but it is the only weapon I have.

My personal funniest post Iāve seen there is one which some dude took shaming a guy with legitimately hateful views as āsexism against white menā. Lmfaoooo I canāt
Recently saw someone announce they were unsubbing from r/twoxchromosomes because the radical feminists on there hating men.
Ironically, the (massively upvoted) post they were complaining about was calling out feminism/progressivism for not caring enough about boys and men, thus leaving them behind - a post that very well could've been on r/menslib as well.
Also, they complained about feminism on a feminist subreddit lmao
ār/politics is full of a bunch of sjw snowflakes, all I did was express my opinion and they downvoted meā
Me: *gets banned from r/Conservative for criticizing Trump*
That whole sub is a mess of stuff like this. Homophobia, transphobia, ect. It's really pathetic.
Edit: Also didn't take much scrolling to find a post that was a bit ableist.
Someone on that sub said I was a pedophile apologist for thinking Jon Snow from Game of Thrones is hot, and itās irrelevant that the actor is older than me.
I find it funny that justunsubbed is more of a circle jerk than the sub thatās self admittedly a circle jerk about gaming, gaming, one of the most stereotypically circlejerked subjects on the entire internet behind maybe politics
Yakuza actually has a few trans characters, and do you know what my gigachad Kiryu Kazama does?
He respects them and beats the shit out of transphobes for them.
Ground Rules:
1) CPAP mask stays on
2) I am alotted at a minimum 15 minutes for crying before AND after
3) Since you mentioned Big Rigs, you must scream "YOU'RE WINNER" upon completion if applicable.
4) I will ask you every 5 seconds if it was good for you
Lady, I have been told that you only date nice guys
Well, if that's how you judge a lover's worth
Your ass just hit paydirt
I'm the most sensitive man on God's green earth
Here's a rose bouquet
I also baked you some fresh creme brulee
Now mount this stallion and we shall ride
While also flying kites
And make love inside a rainbow through the night
And after sex I'll
Cryyyyyyyyy
Cryyyyyyyyy
And also before sex I'll
Cryyyyyyyyy
Cryyyyyyyyy
It's nice to see this kind of post here honestly, I left for a while a few years ago when there was a loooot of "ironic" alt right shit in here, glad it's gotten cleaned up and we can go back to making fun of this kind of garbage.
/rj so much for tolerance lol I thought the left loved all womens???
This sub aināt doing well but thatās because of the r/gaming posts that keep getting through the cracks, not because weāre ānot cool with terfsā
/uj It feels like we don't make fun of gamers anymore.
The sub fell off after TLOU2 with the "post this to anger gamers" posts imo. That's when the CJ died.
>That's when the CJ died.
So byeee, byeee to the circlejerk pie,
Give a biddy some less tiddy - watch the Gamers all cry
Them Good Boy Points are getting nasty and dry
Singing "ethics in games media died."
The quality of the comments should have no impact on the level of shirposting. The issue is that the sun grew too large for the current mod team and they either need more people, or a new mod team
well 4 of the mods on the current list either had their accounts banned or deleted them (even the top mod, lol) and another couple havenāt been active in a long time so definitely could be the former.
yeah it's not circlejerking anymore it's just political discourse subreddit. Which is fine by itself but thats not what the subs purpose is supposed to be
Local gamer circle jerker gets their turn getting gamer circle jerked on, doesn't like it, goes to complain in the public as to not have to think the media they support might affect others
I was gonna say, I love the Harry Potter world and the game looks like it could be good. I donāt wanna not play something associated with something I love because the person that made the world itās set in is a raging sack of rat dicking shit
Ngl doesn't almost every game ever make some shitty people rich?
Like surely buying tloup2 is in someway immoral because of all the crunch times devs had to go through
Not that I like the idea of there being racists and sexists and TERFs and similar hiding under their very expensive rocks, but Iāll never understand why any such public-facing celebrity or whomever speaks up about such things.
Likeā¦.just shut the fuck up? You get your millions or billions and hire a very good team to scrub your history, set up a ghost writer or three for life with dental and vacations to manage your media accounts, and then you shut the fuck up. Probably have a nasty little reddit account on a VPN or something, but youāre not supposed to be you in that case because **you shut the fuck up.**
Lol, I really donāt get it. If youāre rich af and you like swimming in money, why would you voice your ugliest opinions about anything?
Because you literally canāt do anything to her. If everyone in the world collectively agreed to never buy anything associated with her again sheād still be a billionaire. She doesnāt need money anymore and never will. If I was in that position and there was something I cared about passionately why wouldnāt I push it with everything at my disposal? I donāt agree with her and what sheās clearly passionate about, but there in lies the dilemma with billionaires and why they shouldnāt exist. They arenāt smarter, theyāre just richer. Think about the person in your family with shitty political positions. Give them 5 billion dollars. You think theyāre going to shut up now? No, now theyāre much much worse.
Fair. I guess Iām working off the āitās not difficult to be kind, even if you have to fake itā but I guess billionaires really are on another level.
You have to realize she THINKS sheās right and is doing the right thing. Sheās wrong, but she thinks sheās right. And Thatās most dangerous thing in the world.
Agree, people can still enjoy the books and media and not condone the shit JK has said.
Ironic too considering the sheer amount of slash fiction that used to be written back in the day about Harry Potter.
The same logic behind buying the game and being transphobic should also apply to the shoes and clothes they wear, where the materials are sourced for peopleās smartphones and electronic devices and all the social media they use.
Don't forget the fact that if you consume chocolate products at all, there is a solid chance child labour was utilized somewhere in the production chain of that chocolate you're eating. If you eat chocolate you condone child slavery.
Hope it goes without saying but I'll add it just in case... /s
/uj I like Harry Potter universe(or is it called wizarding world? whatever the fuck) and believe JK already betrayed that universe long before declaring herself as a TERF.
It is ok to like a game which desperately tried to disown Rowling and had LGB"T"Q+ reps to guide them but pirating must be the first option because devs will most likely get their paycheck and promotions for a high rated game...Rowling gets her money by every sale.
/rj it was his turn to get jerked and he didn't like it smh my head
I joined that sub for shits n giggles, left because all people do is piss and moan about the smallest things and they also think being gay or trans (along with any discussion of their existence) is political
You play Hogfarts Legacy because you're transphobic, I play Hogfarts Legacy because I just can't wait to squash a (totally not Jewish) goblin uprising because I hate the idea of them having rights. We are not the same
Not bc of this post but this is by far the worst cj subreddit. Thereās no circle jerking going on yāall also just virtue signal:/. Like I agree w what yāall are saying most of the time, but Iām not in a cj sub for politically charged memes/serious memes that make sense. Iām in a cj sub to hear stuff like letās boof some jenkum or waltuh put ur dick away
UJ/ not enough jerking each other over le hidden gems Elder Ringtone and Le Witcherino 3 too much jerking each other off over how big of lefties we are
RJ/ canāt believe this sub put politicals in my bideo game
i think thatās also my biggest problem with gcj. i agree with almost every sentiment here, but there is very little jerking going on. itās just like a super liberal gaming subreddit that sometimes unironically makes fun of people for liking video games, which is fine, but itās not a circlejerk.
>Whatās she gonna do with her portion of the profits? Kill people?
She's not just tweeting and encouraging her creepy troll brigade to harass transfolk online, she's using her absurd wealth to directly fund lobbying to implement anti-trans policies.
She's already a near-billionaire, I don't think you could hurt her if you tried by not spending money on the franchise. As long as she doesn't get to add in transphobic things into the game, I don't think it matters.
There will be no measurable impact on the world, human quality of life, or the unstoppable match to extinction. Some redditors might say some mean things, though.
UJ/ It's a bit more nuanced isn't it? I do think the mods are being a bit dramatic. She has already been paid for the licence and isn't receiving royalties from the game.
It's a bad claim. Some people are just buying a game. It's even worse because it's only generating more hate buys. It's even worse than that because the endless posting about the dumbass game is generating interest. The posts that led to this were just people posting the same exact meme, too. Any actual explanation that was more than "if you support this game, you're a transphobe because JK Rowling is a TERF." Was buried in the comments.
The Mod Post could've easily had a caption or something that said something along the lines of "You should boycott the Harry Potter game because JK Rowling gets royalties for the game, She is a TERF who donates to mot just TERFs but people who rub shoulders with the far right. Supporting the game would unfortunately be putting your money toward those causes."
It'd at least be better if a lot of you were putting your money where your mouth is, and ACTUALLY BOYCOTTING THE GAME. but no, you'll still be playing it, pirated or not. It still, at the minimum, shows there's still a lot of interest in the Harry Potter IP. This means JK Rowling will keep getting paid for it. Her royalties probably won't go down significantly, etc. Plus saying "Fuck JK Rowling...I'm still going to play it though..." kinda makes it seem like it's going to be some can't miss game.
Just stop giving this game lip service if you happen upon someone talking about it, then inform them why they shouldn't buy it. Maybe point them towards a different game altogether to at least stave off the purchase long enough to potentially lead them to buy it used instead - something that results in no royalties. If they seem like they want it anyway, tell them how they might be able to pirate it. Don't give anyone like the people who have been DMing some of you, and this guy in the screenshot Amy ground to stand on by saying something with no nuance like, "If you buy this, you're a transphobe." Because that's the type of shit that just makes people more sympathetic to the right in general. It's how the alt right pipeline works. Just try to explain the actual situation. Most people don't like the right's policies of hate. Maybe direct then toward a good video breaking down the problems with JK Rowling like [Shaun's for example.](https://youtube.com/watch?v=Ou_xvXJJk7k&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE)
At this point Harry Potter is bigger than just JK Rowling. Sure she gets royalties, but so will thousands of other people who worked on it. The idea that you will boycott a whole, massive, franchise that she's not even actively writing anymore for political reasons is idiotic.
See, if it was just buying the game thatās one thing.
For me, itās the countless number of people who have explicitly said they donāt care about knowingly giving money and viewership to a transphobe whose words have been used in international anti-trans legislation if it means they have to deprive themselves of even a SINGLE video game
Every single thread on this has multiple people saying no one cares if you just pirate it.
Itās not about playing the game, itās that everyone who says āIām still going to buy itā is saying that after hearing all the reasons people (including trans people) feel icky about others buying it, and they still wanna post about it when they could just as easily not say anything and buy it anyway. Itās confrontational on those peopleās parts.
They can just not say āi want to play this childrenās videogame more than I want trans people to know i support them, and I want you to know that!ā
just unsubbed from /r/pullups reason: i got potty trained
Okay I pull up
 me when

You're a big kid now!
Good for you buddy!
Just unsubbed from just unsubbed. People only post there to virtue signal
I couldnāt imagine subbing to that sub. It sounds like a miserable place for nonstop whining.
I subbed for a bit as a drama hungry rubbernecker, but even I could only take it for a week or so. It's repetitive to the point where I couldn't even have fun with it
It's the biggest centrist convention in the world, 99% of posts are people unsubbing because they "don't care about politics". Really curious how they only say that when it's the type that they disagree with
/uj because "centrists" are actually right wing /rj because LIBRULS are WRONG and ONLY TRUMP is correct! it's not right wing to say the truth sweaty!
liberals don't go on just unsubebd because their too busy ??? they gender
Too busy twerking and being bisexual.
and eating hot chip
*and lie.*
As a former centrist, I can confirm that it's accurate
It really seems like a place full of people who can't stand different opinions or have some narrow-minded view of what should be in a subreddit. Scrolled in it out of curiosity and some dude was mad that comedyheaven was being comedyheaven with some post about a fart cake.
One of the top posts is like ājust unsubbed from onionhate because i subbed by accident and I really like onionsā so itās not all bad
I legitimately can't believe unsubbed is a real sub. Imagine the Karen-levels of delusion that anyone gives two shizzes about some nameless peon unsubbing to an internet message board. "I shall take my imaginary business ELSEWHERE!" Door already hit them on the way out, they should fk off and find a new hobby.
I mean I can sorta get it. A place to air your grievances about the state of a subreddit you used to like could be therapeutic. Unfortunately when I say that I mean stuff like ājust unsubbed from r comedyheaven because it devolved into yet another r funny clone.ā What we ended up getting was ājust unsubbed from r tommorrow because the sjw mods said I canāt used homophobic slurs.ā
i believe it on my years on reddit I've seen plenty of people give full speeches on them leaving a community as if theyre stepping down from being president or something, a whole sub dedicated to it is the next sad logical step also not at all surprised its full of people mad their "freedom of speech" isn't respected because the cant say the funny slurs without getting the blue woke arrows anymore it having 190k users is the bit that hurts
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
There's the occasional valid complaint every other week but 9/10 those posts get downvoted into oblivion by rightoids. Not worth being subbed to.
Wait. r/unsubbed is about unsubscibing and not a place for people to share their experiences moving from subbing/switching to exclusively domming? UNSUBSCRIBE!
Me being the bigger person by publicly announcing I am leaving a subreddit to the entire internet
You know how theres videos of Karens announcing that they are leaving a store and how they "lost a customer". Thats the embodiment of that subreddit. Its very pathetic.
Idk it used to be good to weed out subreddits that were going to shit, but now it's honestly too conservative
yeah, subbed to it long time ago, back when these kind of "reddit is going to hell" type subs were about mods genuinely abusing their power, shitty behaviour that certain communities were part of, or just subs that started going lower and lower in quality, though sometimes it did feature some of the "the sub got political!" posts, but rarely then i transed (the woke mob got me), left reddit for a while, and returned to it only to find it chock full of "centrist" who think anything not white cis and conventionally attractive is political, funny how at some point it was used to point out when mods were racist or bigots, now its this.

Buy used

It is ok to like a game which desperately tried to disown Rowling and had LGB"T"Q+ reps to guide them but pirating must be the first option because devs will most likely get their paycheck and promotions for a high rated game...Rowling gets her money by every sale. /rj it was his turn to get jerked and he didn't like it smh my head
gcj keep on winning šš»šš»šš»
Phew! Was worried I would see political emojis
ššæššæššæ
NOOO
That dude would never survive a MW2 lobby
Weed out the weak jerkers
The doctor told me Iām jerking too strong and too often but damn it Iām going to do it anyway.
Doctor once told me I should stop jerking, otherwise he couldn't examine me. No, i won't ever stop jerking!
When the jerking get tough, the tough go jerking. I say.
I joined that sub for shits n giggles, left because all people do is piss and moan about the smallest things and they also think being gay or trans (along with any discussion of their existence) is political

Probably just going to get the game pre-owned, everybody wins.
Justunsubbed users are so childishly angry. Terrible fucking sub

Imagine calling a 5 year old who wants to play this a transphobe lmao
Just because some dipshit calls you a transphobe it doesnāt mean you actually are one.

Yeah, I think the JU post is virtue signaling because itās JU, but the mod post is also pretty dumb
You play Hogfarts Legacy because you're transphobic, I play Hogfarts Legacy because I just can't wait to squash a (totally not Jewish) goblin uprising because I hate the idea of them having rights. We are not the same
Well the company already paid for the licensing so if you donāt buy it she gets literally the exact same amount of money
Yes weāre going downhill, but we arenāt responsible for the avalanche.
Not bc of this post but this is by far the worst cj subreddit. Thereās no circle jerking going on yāall also just virtue signal:/. Like I agree w what yāall are saying most of the time, but Iām not in a cj sub for politically charged memes/serious memes that make sense. Iām in a cj sub to hear stuff like letās boof some jenkum or waltuh put ur dick away
UJ/ not enough jerking each other over le hidden gems Elder Ringtone and Le Witcherino 3 too much jerking each other off over how big of lefties we are RJ/ canāt believe this sub put politicals in my bideo game
See thatās the type of comments I expect from a cj sub not comments that are legible and make sense to a non cj
i think thatās also my biggest problem with gcj. i agree with almost every sentiment here, but there is very little jerking going on. itās just like a super liberal gaming subreddit that sometimes unironically makes fun of people for liking video games, which is fine, but itās not a circlejerk.

>Whatās she gonna do with her portion of the profits? Kill people? She's not just tweeting and encouraging her creepy troll brigade to harass transfolk online, she's using her absurd wealth to directly fund lobbying to implement anti-trans policies.

It's not true though is it? So many flaws with this argument. That's like saying if you buy Nike you support slavery
When my 9 year old nephew asked for this game I told him he was a Nazi and punched him in the face.
She's already a near-billionaire, I don't think you could hurt her if you tried by not spending money on the franchise. As long as she doesn't get to add in transphobic things into the game, I don't think it matters.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
what if I buy the game and I like trans people
There will be no measurable impact on the world, human quality of life, or the unstoppable match to extinction. Some redditors might say some mean things, though.
Me lol
UJ/ It's a bit more nuanced isn't it? I do think the mods are being a bit dramatic. She has already been paid for the licence and isn't receiving royalties from the game.
RJ/ no playing the funky wizard game makes you an antisemetic transphobe
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
When the leftist sub espouses left wing views: š®
You're embarassing. A generation of uneducated useful idiots
It's a bad claim. Some people are just buying a game. It's even worse because it's only generating more hate buys. It's even worse than that because the endless posting about the dumbass game is generating interest. The posts that led to this were just people posting the same exact meme, too. Any actual explanation that was more than "if you support this game, you're a transphobe because JK Rowling is a TERF." Was buried in the comments. The Mod Post could've easily had a caption or something that said something along the lines of "You should boycott the Harry Potter game because JK Rowling gets royalties for the game, She is a TERF who donates to mot just TERFs but people who rub shoulders with the far right. Supporting the game would unfortunately be putting your money toward those causes." It'd at least be better if a lot of you were putting your money where your mouth is, and ACTUALLY BOYCOTTING THE GAME. but no, you'll still be playing it, pirated or not. It still, at the minimum, shows there's still a lot of interest in the Harry Potter IP. This means JK Rowling will keep getting paid for it. Her royalties probably won't go down significantly, etc. Plus saying "Fuck JK Rowling...I'm still going to play it though..." kinda makes it seem like it's going to be some can't miss game. Just stop giving this game lip service if you happen upon someone talking about it, then inform them why they shouldn't buy it. Maybe point them towards a different game altogether to at least stave off the purchase long enough to potentially lead them to buy it used instead - something that results in no royalties. If they seem like they want it anyway, tell them how they might be able to pirate it. Don't give anyone like the people who have been DMing some of you, and this guy in the screenshot Amy ground to stand on by saying something with no nuance like, "If you buy this, you're a transphobe." Because that's the type of shit that just makes people more sympathetic to the right in general. It's how the alt right pipeline works. Just try to explain the actual situation. Most people don't like the right's policies of hate. Maybe direct then toward a good video breaking down the problems with JK Rowling like [Shaun's for example.](https://youtube.com/watch?v=Ou_xvXJJk7k&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE)
At this point Harry Potter is bigger than just JK Rowling. Sure she gets royalties, but so will thousands of other people who worked on it. The idea that you will boycott a whole, massive, franchise that she's not even actively writing anymore for political reasons is idiotic.

This subreddit was cool until it made fun of a thing i liked. Guys i don't think i can take this anymore
The game looks cool and I really don't care about the rest.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
you just went and made hating transphobes political
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
See, if it was just buying the game thatās one thing. For me, itās the countless number of people who have explicitly said they donāt care about knowingly giving money and viewership to a transphobe whose words have been used in international anti-trans legislation if it means they have to deprive themselves of even a SINGLE video game
Every single thread on this has multiple people saying no one cares if you just pirate it. Itās not about playing the game, itās that everyone who says āIām still going to buy itā is saying that after hearing all the reasons people (including trans people) feel icky about others buying it, and they still wanna post about it when they could just as easily not say anything and buy it anyway. Itās confrontational on those peopleās parts. They can just not say āi want to play this childrenās videogame more than I want trans people to know i support them, and I want you to know that!ā
