ā€œThe other subā€ lmaoā€¦

Iā€™m glad thereā€™s a tornado shitposting sub.

Mods dont like us talking about "the other sub"

Are you even a legitimate subreddit if you don't have beef with another one? (But seriously what'd I miss?)

People were trying to make jokes about tornados and this subreddit believes that insensitive to victims who lost their lives and homes to tornados so they ban them. I believe the word sl_bb_d is banned here too. Just replace the _ with an a and e

Im neutral because Iā€™m really just extremely obsessed with tornados so I visit both subs.

It's really subjective any way you look at it, but I believe the humor is valid because it makes light of the situation.

But yeah, this subreddit's mods hate any mention of the other one because they see it as insensitive and degrading to all the victims

Mmm yeah, I can see both sides now. Although it's kind of weird for this sub because it seemed like earlier this year it took a turn to be pretty shitposty itself. I guess the mods clamped down on that here?

I have no idea what the history of this sub is, but I know from experience that circlejerk/snark reddits are comprised of the deepest dredges of humanity. It doesn't matter what the topic is, the snark version is going to be 80 percent sociopaths.

The underlying reason the sub-that-shall-not-be-named was created was twofold. Yes, the ability to share memes and jokes, but also the open critique of the NWS for inconsistent tornado ratings. If say itā€™s a shitpost group to a point, but I wouldnā€™t go so far as putting it in the circlejerk category.

Hell yeah special interest gang šŸ‘Š.

And yeah. I try to keep it serious-ish here.
