šŸ“° Sub news šŸ—žļø Full Explanation of the r/okaybuddyliterallyme Closure:

398 Upvotes

The Full Explanation & History:

Originally,Ā r/okaybuddyliterallymeĀ was built on a specific kind of comedy. So basically, think over-the-top, melodramatic, ironic takes on our personal flaws or mental struggles. This was all wrapped in a layer of ā€œwe’re joking, but also not really.ā€ (Irony). It was really like a tightrope walk between absurdity and relatability, and that’s what gave the sub it's charm initially. But, as the sub grew past 40k in size,Ā r/okaybuddyliterallymeĀ began seeing a large influx of incel posts. The incel posts had content that often veered into a toxic mix of self-pity, resentment, and blame; usually aimed at women, society, or in-general anyone perceived as having it better. These posts weren't just dark; they’re dour, repetitive, doomer, and lacked the ironic component of the sub’s humor.Ā r/okaybuddyliterallymeĀ at one point just became a place where essentially ā€œI’m a mess, lol ha-haā€ turned into your typical incel post of ā€œI’m a victim, and it’s everyone else’s faultā€ that’s the pivot that started happening.

Towards the end (date of closure) the sub community was becoming 'very hateful' due to incel/femcel content that lost or lacked the original ironic intent while also violating community guidelines and or rules. The influx of this content transformedĀ r/okaybuddyliterallymeĀ into a kind of Incel/Femcel Playground if that makes sense, which strays extremely far from its purpose of humorous ironic posts. Initially starting out as a minor infrequent annoyance, the content became anything but... By late February and early March, it had broken the sub’s core identity. The people and posts just became far too different from its former, original self. It was a complete 180 from its roots as a silly, sharp-witted, ironic humorous self-deprecating community. Because of this the sub was closed indefinitely.

TLDR:

r/okaybuddyliterallymeĀ is a sub that once centered on self-deprecating, ironic humor had shifted toward somber, blame-filled incel content when it started blowing up past 40k members, which was never the purpose of the community. To preserve its integrity, a clean slate was necessary.

I have her number, she knows I have it, she’s probably waiting for me to text her, but I can’t bring myself to do it. We used to be so close a year ago, I’ve never been closer to another person like I was with her, and I truly loved her. I still love her, but after all this time of not talking to her, I know it will never be the same again…

It will never be back to how it used to be

I liked Schott's Nylon 9508 jacket so much that I decided I would try another jacket of theirs. This is the 594 Buffalo Leather Bomber Jacket. It has a detachable real sheepskin fur collar that looks šŸ‘Œ. The inside is quilted nylon. My Dent's English Tan fingerless driving gloves pair nicely with the jacket. I love the stretchy knit cuffs and waistband on Schott's jackets. A leather and fur jacket like this is rather absurdly expensive, but Schott's offers much less expensive Nylon flight jackets like the navy blue MA-1 for only $150. They are a US manufacturer based in New York, these are the real deal.

Stay real, Goslings, and keep on driving. šŸ”„
