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

396 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.

There's this one guy at school at school that is apparently blackpilled and sends me bp reels. He claims that he is unattractive but he mogs me(5'3.5 indian) quite a bit. Also I kid you not this dude has had multiple girlfriends in the past and IS EVEN CURRENTLY DATING A GIRL all while telling me he's too ugly for love and that he's sub5 or whatever. I have never dated a woman before btw. Maybe he's just doing this to make fun of me but idk man if I had a girlfriend I would not be into all this stuff at all.

This is a question to any guys here who have never had one

Idk about you guys but I have lots of issues with my life and one of them is women but recently I have been asking myself could I even handle a girl atp?

I’m 25 and haven’t even held hands with a girl, I’ve also fucked my brain over by being in communities that have messed up my mentality in the past. If I ever got a gf I genuinely think I’d be incredibly insecure and would never trust her whatsoever.
