Have you recently read an upvoted Reddit comment that was bigoted, creepy, misogynistic, transphobic, racist, homophobic, or just reeking of unexamined, toxic privilege? Of course you have! Post it here.
1. RULE X: SRS is a circlequeef and interrupting the circlequeef is an easy way to get banned. For instance, commenters are not allowed to say "This post is not offensive" or "This is not SRS worthy."
2. ShitRedditSays is not a downvote brigade. Do not downvote any comments in the threads linked from here! Pretend the rest of Reddit is a museum of poop. Don't touch the poop. (Commenting in linked threads is fine.)
3. No "ironic" or "satirical" use of slurs.
4. No violent rhetoric.
5. To our readers: consider this entire sub to be labelled with one gigantic trigger warning.
HOW TO POST

1. Only submit horrible comments that have been upvoted above a net score of +20. If a thread has multiple shitty comments, feel free to compile them in an effortpost.
2. Focus on the large, mainstream subreddits. Low-hanging fruit from obvious hate groups, circlejerks, troll subreddits, and the like can be submitted to the daily low-hanging fruit megathread located at the top of the sub.
3. Titles should be direct quotes of comments (NO EDITORIALIZING) followed by the number of total votes in brackets like this: [+30]. (Effortpost titles can be anything.)
4. If the comment you're linking to requires some context, just add ?context=x to the URL, where x is the number of parent comments you want displayed.
5. Don't link to threads you're involved in or shit you just disagree with
6. Don't submit [META] posts without contacting the mods first

I just read that letter the victim of the stanford guy wrote to the judge. It inspired my friend who had a similar thing happen to her recently to write a letter to the judge handling her case. They caught one of the 3 guys, and hes facing 20-25 years as a convicted felon. Not sure why im writing this here but glad shes soon getting justice
[–]MarchToTorment[PURGING INTENSIFIES] -2 points-3 points-4 points  (1 child)
Whoo! Great to hear. I'm about to go to law school, and this is making me want to become a prosecutor just so that I can fuck these sorts of assholes up.
[–]therepoststrangler -0 points-1 point-2 points  (0 children)
Yea dude I feel it. It's been really up and down for her with shitheads saying that she's wrong and lying for attention and the rest of the party and one dudes brother not doing anything about it but I was glad the us marshals got called when the 3 dudes were on the run. I'd like to think that her and I are close and this has been one big shitshow. I still can't believe stuff like this happens in real life

I feel awkward every time my posts on Imzy receive silence. I keep thinking that maybe I said something inappropriate, but everybody is too polite to say so directly.
[–]LinnaYamazaki -2 points-3 points-4 points  (0 children)
I think everyone just feels too awkward to say anything at all for the most part. Every section I'm subscribed to doesn't really have a whole lot going on, even the Fempire.

I have a lot of friends in Israel, but I'm very relieved they're not the type to hang out in a food market around 21:30 at night. Why? because of this
9 injured. This sucks.
And obviously, no matter how much security they'll have, how big of a military presence (this happened across the street from the military headquarters), how many police officers patrolling the streets - as long as the occupation continues, things like this will keep happening. I wish politicians (and the Israeli public) would realize this.
Edit: And obviously, like after every attack in Tel Aviv, the Israeli right wing celebrates online with comments like "those leftist Tel-Avivians deserve this!" and "so happy this happened in Tel Aviv". This makes me sick. Israelis online are worse than redditors.

Nah, it's a universal right-wing thing to revel in schadenfreude. After almost any high profile news story the comments are always:
  • DAE Europeons deserve being raped for taking in rapefugees??????
  • She was around [disadvantaged group]. What did you think would happen?????????
  • Mass shootings always happen in gun-free zones!!!!!!!!
  • If she didn't dress the way she did then she must have asked for it!!!!!!!!!
  • Only unproductive people become unemployed during a recession!!!!!!!
  • They should just have used some PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY!!!!!!!!!
plus the inevitable "DID I TRIGGER U??????????" (i.e. "Did I cause you some kind of discomfort?") when their bullshit is pointed out
The modern day right-wing doesn't even shy away from its sociopathy any more.

I am really looking forward to the new season of Marco Polo and OITNB.
I still hope both series remove there focus from the main character it really waters down the whole serie.

In an ironic twist of fate, me expressing dislike for pedophilia jokes/apologia in my cheerios got the folks and a mod in SRD all worked up.
Because it's not that people are shit for laughing about raped children, it's me who's shit because I don't like their sidebar and am pushing some petty SRS agenda, or so I have been informed.

Got banned from /r/politics for telling a neo Nazi to die. A real set back, its not like one could just create a new account to go on shitposting, that's against the rules. I would never in a million years think of breaking such a rule, nope no way no how

Saw that the trailer for Can We Take a Joke is on the front page. I'll be interested to see if the movie gets confused about free speech the way reddit does
[–]FUCKGRINGOSJe déteste les têtes carrées. -1 point-2 points-3 points  (0 children)
I haven’t seen the trailer, but I’m guessing that it’s more rightist claptrap designed to affirm the views of those who support the status quo.

So my mom got on the mana program so she gets full meals for six weeks. She on it for her hernia.
I'm slowly going downhill in both mental and physical health. There is almost no food in the house aside from her meals that I can't touch cause she needs them to heal. She ate the last oodles of noodles yesterday morning cause she was hungry and pouting at me.
I'm on Reddit with my data plan cause my internet got shut off and I don't know if my dad can get the money in time. My bank Account is in the red and part of me doesn't care anymore.
I've been playing oblivion to kill the time. I haven't played it since I had an old fat tv, so playing it on the flatscreen I got before I got canned is nice. So much crisper, I can actually make out the details, so I have that going for me.
The reptilian part of my brain has shorted out and all I want to do is eat and contemplate death. According to a nurse, there is a food bank a bit from me, but I have zero energy to do anything outside laying down and going to the bathroom. She is getting her food stamps soon so I can get food then. I've been going on /r/gifrecipes for ideas, not that looking at food when all you have is cans of chick peas and peanut butter and jelly sandwich material around helps.
I'm on /r/depression more now. I don't know if it's helping nor do I care. Fuck this world.
I don't care anymore.

Hey man. I don't have depression from any sort of situation, but maybe some tips that I've gotten over the years of having chemical depression.
The first thing is sunlight. You might want to move your computer chair and bed near windows.
The second is eating alot of citrus fruit. Vitamin C and D.
Caffeine seems to help me. I drink a lot of coffee and tea, and eat a lot of chocolate.
I hope one of these helps you.
[–]Samuel_DuckPuncherQuiet observer of the poop kind -0 points-1 point-2 points  (0 children)
I can open some windows for the sunlight.
I don't have cash for the rest of the ideas, but will keeps that in mind for when I do.

      Free trade deals almost universally cause poverty and social issues in the poorest nations in the deal. Look at what NAFTA has done to Mexico.

        NAFTA was just one variable among others that could account for Mexico’s poor economic performance over the past 20 years.
        Direct quote from the article you posted. Mexico's government is fucked up in a ton of different ways, there is rampant corruption, and the cartels effectively run large chunks of the country. NAFTA cannot possibly be blamed for all of that (and this article doesn't even blame it)

        Bernie and Trump have a couple of overlaps: they're both against free trade and bill themselves as anti-establishment populists. That's why some Bernie supporters are jumping ship to Trump. They either vote based off image or free trade is a big issue for them.

        They're all white, middle-class, privileged assholes who won't be negatively affected in the slightest by their whole 'watch the world burn' act. Their preferred weed-smoking hippie candidate didn't get the nomination so they're going to throw a hissy fit and genocide some brown people. Usual white people stuff.

              And there is no unified movement, Feminist thought has always been deeply divided. If anyone is causing harm, it's not teenagers on tumblr but rather radical feminists that are lobbying for transphobic and wh*rephobic laws

              My go-to interview strategy is to mumble and tell horrible jokes that fall flat and then pause for very long periods when they ask unexpected questions and then scream loudly when it's over

              whenever I hear someone talk about White Privilege or even better Race Allies, there is no way I can take that person serious [+3]
              I'm saying that the idea that all whites are privileged is nonsense. You ignore that some whites are living in utter poverty, they somehow are privileged in your worldview. [+5]
              I have lived on 3 continents, I have found no such thing as "white privilege" [+3]
              also that drunkenrabbit person is one of the most vile people in the ChristianSphere and represents conservative Protestantism very well. The only good thing I can say about them is that they know their theology really well.

              Can a white person be less privileged than a black person? Sure. That doesn't fucking mean white privilege doesn't exist you dumbfuck. /rant

              It's like people don't realize that white privelege is just the most common one. Like they don't understand that other races can have different privileges in different nations. Look at China, as a person of Chinese heritage and ethnicity, you will likely be more privileged than a Japanese or African person, etc. Race privileges overall just suck, but the white privileges are the most common and also some of the worst. That's why we keep talking about it. Because you can't fucking escape it

              I'm in the UK for the holidays and...god damn. Ramadan here sucks. The fasts are 19 hours long; I'm used to a milder 14 hours in Pakistan. At least I don't get thirsty here because it's not warm...but the hunger...
              I heard in Australia the fasts are the shortest in the world. But they have to deal with skin cancer and wild beasts so...not sure I'd want to go there for the holidays
              [–]depressed_space_cat -5 points-6 points-7 points  (3 children)
              I wonder, what would Muslim scientists / explorers in the poles do during Ramadan? Do they get an exemption or do they just try to avoid staying there during the Ramadan?
              I guess it's okay if the Ramadan happens during the polar night... but it would be basically impossible during the polar day.
              [–]LongBowOolan -4 points-5 points-6 points  (2 children)
              It's seems like a big problem but it's really not lol. Sheikh Muhammad Abduh gave a fatwa on this issue a hundred years ago, and medieval Hanafi jurists did the same when Ibn Fadlan travelled to Scandinavia. The fatwa applies to any land with lattitude higher than 45 degrees.
              As Sheikh Muhammad Abduh, Grand Mufti of Egypt, mentions in Tafsir al-Manar, classically they mentioned two possibilities to follow more moderate timings:
              a) follow timings of the lands of revelation, viz. Mecca and Medina (Hijaz) – throughout the year, the dawn-sunset fast here is 12-15 hours
              b) follow timings of the nearest “moderate land”
              Abduh adds, “Both of these are valid, since it is a matter of judgment (ijtihad), and there is no unequivocal text (nass) about it.”
              And:
              1. The spirit of fasting is clearly “from morning until evening” and to focus on its inner aspects, without hair-splitting about external matters.
              From here. I guess according to that I could shorten my fast but my mom is much stricter than me so I'll just bear with it lol.

              Glad to help! I find medieval rulings very interesting, they can be surprising at times. Like Ibn Hazm's and Tabari's ruling that women are qualified to be judges in Islamic courts. The problem with historical sharia is it's difficult to learn about because texts are usually in classical arabic

              Best art is, it's a knee injury! Makes even more sense then, no?
              But in reality, it's named for my favourite piece of classical music.

              So what did you think of the new episode?
              I thought making Fluttershy's brother a brony was an inspired choice. I laughed so hard.

              okay, maybe it wasn't that bad. damn was that cute.
              also, it made me want fluttershy as a sister...

              A few weeks ago a pipe needed work at my apartment complex and so I didn't have any water to shower with, other than bottles of room temperature like Dasani or whatever it was. It was awful.
