You're forgetting a lot of the original imageboards (eg. Blueboard) and calling them "hate and revenge porn subreddits" is a gross oversimplification...... eg. r/jailbait is NOT a simple revenge porn subreddit! It was a straight up you know what subreddit! It's a shame to see Redditors defend Michael Brutsch (u/violentacrez A.K.A VA A.K.A "Pimp of Reddit") as a "troll" even till this day! Apart from this, there were also a lot of disturbing subreddits during the mid '10s like r/beatingtrannies, r/beatingcripples, r/strugglefuck, r/askarapist to name the few.

Don’t forget r/picsofdeadkids and r/beautifulcorpses

R/rape was a place for rape porn for the longest time. Posting to Reddit for advice coping with sexual assault is 100% a bad idea, as you will mostly get DM’s and chat requests from people who want to get off to your trauma. I believe the moderators of those “support” communities also get off on it too.

There are still currently beastiality subreddits and r/guro. The beastiality subreddits post simulated images/hentai, but the discussions include advice on how to participate.

People tried to defend r/jailbait by saying it was girls close to 18. (Uh akshually it’s ephebophilia 🤡) It was not. It was mostly 13-14 year olds or younger. Actual pornographic images weren’t posted there, but it was clear that the admin team and others were running trading rings.

Didn’t Reddit even ban Gawker links for a while for doxxing Micheal Brutsch? Redditors always fell over themselves to defend all of this shit as “free speech.” R/ShitRedditSays was considered worse than any of these subreddits.

Yikes, what a terrible day to know how to read
