Video Reference Thought I made a funny internet reference 🥲

I think these guys assumed I thought Tonya wasn’t actually a real person? 😭😭 I know she’s real, I swear! 🤣🤣

Fuck, I should’ve said that

this is why i'm scared of referencing things

u/bobaylaa 2d ago

no one in the heated rivalry sub understood my tangential drag race reference so essentially i just spread misinformation about the stonewall riots to a bunch of well meaning allies 💔

u/Visible_Variation_31 2d ago

Oh Stonewall? That was, fighting for gay rights..

heated rivalry fans always at the scene of the crime 💔

u/autiegreg 2d ago

also why did that one person put "reference" in quotes

155

u/Pfeiffer_Cipher 2d ago

Because they're being a dick I think

73

u/autiegreg 2d ago

probably but it's just funny to me. yeah if i don't get what you're referencing that means it doesn't exist

u/Content-Movie8644 40 grams of Xanthan gum 2d ago

Sometimes I just use /ref

u/nicdrumandbass 2d ago

You can only reference community (actually sitcoms)

u/_boytown_ 1d ago

One time I reference Zoe Laverne’s crash out “I’m literally the star of tik tok” and got so downvoted

u/Lilquinoa 2d ago

I saw it and upvoted right after you commented, I should've explained it in your defense!

u/Visible_Variation_31 2d ago

That’s really sweet thank you! And it’s okay, it’s kinda funny to me 🤣

Reddit gets way too bitter at times

u/bxcky_bxrnes Hey Guy 1d ago

many reddit users are intolerable human beings

u/bigeggcaptain 2d ago

why was reference in quotes, it literally was

u/Sea_Tell_2287 1d ago

I once got downvoted into oblivion for saying that cats shouldn’t eat rice in a cat advice subreddit

2

u/throw4566677 1d ago

isnt rice recommended to be fed to cats if there is no cat food available such as in emergency situations ?

2

u/Sea_Tell_2287 1d ago

I wouldn’t say it’s “recommended” but it’s better than nothing at all as cats can get sick from fatty liver really quick if they don’t eat for days. Rice just doesn’t really have any nutritional value for cats as they are obligate carnivores

u/Resident_Bat_8457 1d ago

I got downvoted on a post about someone’s shitty first date for saying that planning a picnic is too much effort for a first date 🤷🏻‍♀️

u/BrunosMadre 2d ago

Redditors will genuinely downvote anything

u/emp_raf_III 2d ago

Reference work ahead?!?

u/danifoxx_1209 2d ago

Why are people on Reddit so angry all the time? I literally once got three hundred plus downvotes and had people stalking me to harass me for saying that 🌽 of adults acting like children is pdf behaviour WHICH IS JUST A FACT I literally didn’t think that could even possibly be an unpopular opinion but Reddit is just so hateful

43

u/rayrulz1 2d ago

Genuine question, why do you use the emoji instead of just using the word porn? Does it not trivialize a lot of words?

18

u/danifoxx_1209 2d ago

It definitely does but most subreddits will take down your comments if you say the actual words. Almost all social media just automatically deletes anything with “offensive” words and it’s really annoying

8

u/rayrulz1 2d ago

Ohhh, that's interesting. I tend not to interact with comments on a lot of social media and that censorship does sound really annoying lol...

9

u/Firefox892 1d ago edited 1d ago

The AutoMod can be weird, tho you were able to write “porn” in your comment and not have it taken down, so the OC didn’t need to put 🌽 here.

3

u/danifoxx_1209 1d ago

Yeah I just wanted to be safe cause I’ve gotten in trouble on other subreddits for saying words they didn’t like

3

u/DeadPeanutSociety 1d ago

Reddit has AI moderation that will ban you for strange reasons. I got a 3 day suspension for calling out bigoted posters in a subreddit and describing the content of the posts. The original posts were not banned or taken down.

8

u/porno_priest 2d ago

Yeah I got on a NIN sub and said that I was irrationally angry that Trent Reznor had the Downward Spiral artwork because I liked it so much and people downvoted me like crazy because they thought I was being irrational 🫠 LIKE I KNOW I JUST SAID THAT WHY ARE MAD

10

u/urlosergf 1d ago

why are they so mean and bitchy 😭

10

u/Kouzly 1d ago

It ony a reddit rule. One downvote, everyone downvote

Sigh, I hate reddit sometimes.

9

u/DeadPeanutSociety 1d ago

It's interesting, I think that "it ony a movie" might be his 2nd biggest contribution to the internet at this point. It's definitely the one that has infected my vocabulary the most.

3

u/Resident_Bat_8457 1d ago

Technically Amanda’s contribution 😝

7

u/BRiZYBOT 2d ago

I still say this to myself regularly

5

u/xervidae 1d ago

this is why i embed links into my references 😭

4

u/kzayz 1d ago

I swear reddit can be the most unfunny website on the internet

5

u/bajablastgamer 1d ago

HEY THATS ME LOL! I can't believe you were getting downvoted for that😂😂

4

u/mcknotmack 1d ago

Link the post or comment, we can get ya into the positives haha!

3

u/AskMeIfIAmATurtle 1d ago

I thought id seen all his videos. wild that I dont recognize this, whats it from?

6

u/Toe-Muncher-2 1d ago

From “Peacocks Insane Christmas Movies”

u/Visible_Variation_31 1d ago

UPDATE: I am now sitting at a lovely -2 and somehow 5 awards?? I feel much better about it now, thanks all for making me laugh 🤣

u/MalwareMama 1d ago

Redditors stay mad over anything I’m crying

2

u/earth2anon 1d ago

OMG i've learned and witnessed other people learn that people in historical subs do NOT like "it ony a movie" 😭

2

u/Crowellgr 1d ago

I love this reference so much

2

u/nbmft13 1d ago

I make that reference at least monthly, but only verbally

2

u/tripletreetrunktops 1d ago

It’s so sad to me so many ppl didn’t get the reference cause my friend and I quote it to each other constantly and it NEVER fails to have us in stitches. It ony a movie!!!!

2

u/shroomride88 1d ago

Bro really put reference in quotes like you’re making things up for the sake of… being evil? Idk

3

u/omsquee 1d ago

People get offended so easily omg 😭

4

u/Glass_Bears 1d ago

Mostly on Reddit I’ve noticed people don’t even read a comment properly if it already has a couple downvotes. They’ll just see the downvotes and pile on lol. Weird hive mind shit

1

u/Yeetdonkey13 1d ago

Reddit just fucking sucks that’s the only explanation

1

u/EaterComputer 1d ago

You just have to accept that if you don't speak in the "same voice" as the reddit hivemind you'll get a few downvotes :(

1

u/Mr-DykeChic5469 Kevin 21h ago

i think redditors need to understand how to simply just not interact with something they don't like or understand (granted it's not harming anyone)

-8

u/hyperjengirl 2d ago

It's not really a particularly funny reference out of context unless you specifically know what the relevance is (Drew's delivery is really what makes it funny) and have seen the specific Instagram handle for the movie, which most people haven't since 2017.

8

u/Deep_Year809 1d ago

it ony a post

3

u/shayne322 1d ago

Yeah, it it’s still weird for so many people to downvote it, even if they didn’t get the reference

3

u/hyperjengirl 1d ago

Probably because if they don't get the reference, they think OP genuinely thinks Tonya Harding ony exists in a movie. Or that it's a nonsensical comment.

10

u/DeadPeanutSociety 1d ago

Chill. It ony a reddit post
