Why is reddit the most popular website to discuss O&A?

1  2016-02-29 by itrits

A lot of the old discussion boards still seem like they're up and active (using active pretty loosely here). Why is Reddit, one of the fucking gayest, SJW PC website on the internet, the most active O&A forum?

No one "owns" it. No one can fuck it up behind the scenes without major effort. Bad posts are downvoted, making it a bit easier to mod.

I'm here because it seems most of the people who post are interested in funny. If it's shocking and funny, that's even better, but saying "nigger" 500 times or going on an extended race rant isn't comedy. The only standard here is make it funny or get shit on. Not that racism can't be hilarious, but it sounds like you're looking for a place to do politics instead of funny, in which case I highly recommend The Anthony Cumia Show.

I actually think this place is great, it's just weird to me that reddit has become the homebase for one of the most ruthless group of fans on the internet.

Okay, so I think the answer to this question is "because none of these things are true." You think we'd be here if we were being censored in any way? I mean we spent the other night fucking Anthony in the ass and his name is on the subreddit.

well anyone is free to make whatever offshoot of reddit they want. there are little fringe portions like /r/niggers but overall the users of reddit are generally liberal and PC. I agree with his questioning why there isn't just a random website forum that is more popular? But I think its just because reddit is popular and widely known over all.

Exactly. Reddit draws a ton of traffic, so it's an easy place to congregate and no one has told us what we can and can't say so there's no good reason to leave. If the rest of reddit is all PC and SJW about everything, that certainly doesn't seem to fly around these parts.

You can just fuck right the fuck off with your "why" questions.

Despite what people on here say about Reddit, most of the people here check out a few other subs that pertain to their interests, or use it for content and news. Checking Reddit is checking a bunch of shit at once and it's more passive. It's easier to justify than logging into an account on some grim dungeon of a dedicated forum.

Exactly, and if it trailed off into only checking out this sub it probably started out as a regular reddit type of user experience. Most people here probably started out coming to reddit for something else, and figured since reddit is about anything/everything they came to see what people said about the show. Also there are definitely a good portion of people who lurk here, but that's also because they give this sub the most power by talking about it like it's the place where fans talk. The last time they even mentioned Wackbag much less FBA etc was so long ago people forgot they were ever a part of things.

Network effect. More people means livelier conversation. That attracts more people and makes the forum even livelier. Since a lot of people are here, why go elsewhere to do the same thing?

And why are you bashing reddit? You can say anything you want even if there are PC/SJWs here.

I've been banned from posting in 3 subreddits; 2 of those bans were, honestly, just me disagreeing with somebody and having an argument about it. This website, as a whole, is super sensitive and I really only come here for O&A shit now.

What was the third ban for?

Unhealthy love of children.

What does this have to do with /r/opieandanthony ? You clearly weren't shadowbanned by the admins, you want us to answer for other subreddits?

He asked why I was bashing reddit. This sub is great, and it really seems like one of the only subreddits where you can say whatever you want without having to worry about getting banned.

Nah, I get that. But the appeal of reddit is that each sub is run independently. How you're treated in one subreddit has nothing to do with another is all I'm saying.

it's easy

Mostly because of all the free cock pics.

Because we'd have to be SJWs to hate such mavericks as O and A

Because when I inevitably become sick of you faggots I can easily go to another sub and do anything else.

Laziness. Or apathy towards a subpar product.

I think most just slowly lost enthusiasm for the show in recent years and this was the quickest way to check on the fan pulse from time to time.

I don't know how to navigate message boards very well

Same reason any reddit sub the most popular place to talk about any topic

Because the mods here will let users post hundreds and hundreds of the same exact "opie sucks" thread, but will suddenly become upset when users repeatedly post about how dumb and unaware the ppl on this sub are, or if someone posts the same "opie doesn't suck" thread.

The mods are biased/censoring faggots and thats why the losers love coming here. They get to laugh at each other when they post the same shit over and over, plus they get to have mods say "enough is enough" when ppl post the truth about this place.

See, this is the perfect example. This is a stupid person. He isn't being censored in any way. He's critical of this subreddit, the people that post in it, and the mods. The worst that's going to happen is that he's downvoted because he's not only wrong, he's not funny. We have a pretty simple system.

THIS comment is a perfect example of how dumb the users on this sub are, they are so easily convinced it's pathetic. You have no idea what you're talking about, and you chalk it up to having a "pretty simple system", pathetic.

Be more funny

LOL /u/thetigerdriver is really stuck in the mud when it comes to reality. Someone get him some meds!

Yes, I saw you made a thread, you didn't have to tag me. I was very impressed.

No, you're a faggot.

Lol, someone had an emotional outburst while on his period. Fucking emo faggot.

That has, literally, never happened.

I'm a bot, bleep, bloop. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit:

If you follow any of the above links, please respect the rules of reddit and don't vote in the other threads. (Info / Contact)

You fine sir speak the truth. Hey can that faggot shadowbannedkeithm post a thread about ant getting catfished by a 41 year old guy for the 19th time and pretend it's the first time yet again? How bout the joke about fucking a 13 year old if legal? He's a living version of the Memento movie.

Unhealthy love of children.
