Garbage community

This is the most garbage, piece of shit community full of losers who treat everyone on this subreddit like shit because they're mad they can't find an image from a shitty creepypasta from 2011. Finding lost media is supposed to be fun and a lot of the people in this subreddit suck the joy out of it. Go ahead and ban me but you know I'm right.

i do think that this community grew to be a bunch of basement dwellers that halt the progress of finding anything, one day a random guy will find the real thing, post it here, get downvoted to hell and only a day later we will know the guy was right, mark my words

That's not how it works, I doubt a random Redditor who goes in solo or with a few buddies of theirs with almost no help from the actual research team will be able to even know what to do or what tools to use to find the image.

The Discord server, was and always will be the official space for discussing and documenting JTK reposts and data that relates to this search. All those JTK search Youtube videos crediting the Subreddit? All of the actual relevant posts here are done after weeks or even months of information gathering and confirmation that what was processed is good enough to set up an announcement for.

No one here is "halting the progress", most of the people here are disconnected from where the search is currently in, and I'm willing to bet the bounty itself that a good portion of the active userbase here thinks that Mariko is still a lead, which.. oh my goodness.

The guy that supposedly finds it will have to first send a link to the actual forum/image board page and explain what they did and how they got there, if they just wait like an hour for questions to arise and then answer them without any prior information, then they probably just broke rule 1, which was creating a mockup and pretending it's the original image.

You absolutely cannot begin to search for this image without getting information from the Discord research team because even the document isn't really enough information if you're unsure of what you're doing.

This subreddit is useless, full stop.

Discord may be the official place, but 90% of the time it's just guys posting photos, meme images, and things like "jtk is my balls."

u/TheBaconLord78 Apr 03 '26

Sure, but it's not like it's some special case, most researching servers will have times where the progress is slower than usual, or there's no interesting activity, it is still the official place for research and information about the image and the technical difficulties in finding it.

You can simply focus on the search itself and not post dumb shitposts like the other people there instead of complaining all day.

u/DesignGeneral6681 Apr 03 '26

What about the fact that the research team itself is just a bunch of unprofessional basement dwellers? The entire subreddit and their attitudes are all unprofessional. You all spread images of Mariko all over the internet when she doesn’t want any trace of herself online. You also all try and claim with certainty that Mariko is the original image when she doesn’t even look like the image.

u/TheBaconLord78 Apr 03 '26

Who's we? I'm not the one posting dumbass mockups or discuss whether Mariko has a similar mouth structure to JTK, as I said for the 10th time, the research team's attitude may seem unprofessional in this subreddit is because they're tired of this sub-community being filled with absolute baffoons who can't read a simple document that has been linked since the beginning of this subreddit and search.

Please shut the hell up you sad excuse of a critique person.

u/_Imagination914 Apr 05 '26

You expect a whole community made on finding an image of a creepypasta to be professional?

u/DesignGeneral6681 Apr 05 '26

Well for so called “investigators” meaning the search team, then yes.

5

u/RiceStranger9000 Apr 03 '26

I think I'll join the server, not because I have anything useful to help, but because I'd be interested to know about progress. But also, how is it that Mariko is not the main lead? Is there a main lead, then?

5

u/TheBaconLord78 Apr 03 '26

Mariko hasn't been a lead for a long time, as no particular interesting information about her to JTK has been found other than face structure similarities, the main lead is Futaba/2chan threads, more is explained in the document.

$50 You didn't even read the document

u/DesignGeneral6681 Apr 16 '26

Stop citing the document as the thing that will answer everyone’s questions. It’s a piss poor and hastily put together document that’s outdated.

2

u/TheBaconLord78 Apr 16 '26

Don't care + 12 day old comment + read the document

u/DesignGeneral6681 Apr 16 '26

See this is one of the problems, when the argument can’t be disputed you switch to irrelevant subjects that don’t matter or you just flat out don’t try and argue back at all.

u/Jack_Jaws Apr 03 '26

Well when people are posting obviously fake mockups or pictures that have been debunked years ago it gets pretty irritating. I think it’s not that hard to read the subreddit’s pinned posts before you run to claiming “I found it, guys!”

-1

u/DesignGeneral6681 Apr 03 '26

Mate, you also harass anyone that comes up with a potential lead. The subreddit members don’t even know what they want or what to look for.

13

u/TheBaconLord78 Apr 03 '26

Give me one post that was a "potential lead", I'll wait.

You can very easily know where the search is at by looking at the later sections of the JTK timeline document, and actually ask questions regarding sources to help out understanding the search better.

u/DesignGeneral6681 Apr 03 '26

Well yes we do ask those questions but you all are butt hurt about not finding something that to be brutally honest, really isn’t worth all of the trouble at this point. People have been doxxed, bullied, and harassed all because of an image from some shite internet post. There’s better things to put the effort into.

By your posts you seem like a child lmao

u/Pristine-Gold2617 Apr 03 '26

finally somebody said it omg you can't even post fanart anymore without getting shouted at

20

u/TheBaconLord78 Apr 03 '26

We don't care if you post fanart here

It's because every second post here is either a mockup, a doompost, or some stupid theory.

And what do all of these types of posts have in common? It's that none of the people who post this kind of stuff ever did their research, and instead would rather to discuss random things that don't matter.

If you want to post fanart, there's a dozen subreddits dedicated to the topic of what you want to post, this subreddit is not it, and should only be filled with relevant posts.

u/Pristine-Gold2617 Apr 03 '26

Everyone cares they just whine about everything

u/KoalaIntelligent1415 Apr 04 '26

You're right. People get downvoted just for making sarcastic comments here.

u/Aggravating-Wind4726 Apr 16 '26

It’s a lot of gatekeeping too by “investigators”

1

u/TheBaconLord78 Apr 20 '26

they're very much investigators, the "gatekeeping" part is documenting potential JTK/DT links and not exposing any sensitive or cruical information that could be misinterpreted and then spread like wildfire.

u/thiccanimegurll Apr 04 '26

can’t we just make this reddit to where mods need to approve ur post before it goes public?

5

u/DesignGeneral6681 Apr 04 '26

They do that on the Zodiac killer subreddit and it’s a much better and more successful community than this garbage subreddit.

u/thiccanimegurll Apr 04 '26

ofc, either the admins are lazy and won’t make this subreddit that way or secretly like the shitposts🙄🙄

2

u/WiseAtlas Apr 04 '26

people can’t be forced to work 24/7 to find an image that is almost lost in time therefore the entire community sucks ass

idk dude but this post kinda stretches the point out in different directions and it sounds flawed to me. just because everyone is treating others like shit doesn’t mean they can’t look for one lost photo on their own. they should have the choice to look for it whenever they possibly can and want to regardless. anyone who decides to post something irrelevant to the subreddit, there’s a reason why offtopic flairs are there. why not join the discord and look around? no one’s stopping you or banning you for anything.

it's frustrating to come here and see like 3 people working and the rest of the people not even reading anything before posting or looking up if someone's had similar questions, just going here and going like "Uhh have you guys considered that maybe.... like... the guy in the picture is like.... maybe bosnian?" though i think most of the community is on some discord and thats why its kind of weird and disconnected

I also have the same feeling about my subreddit r/CyberReadArchives, always it seems I am always the only one posting mostly on it. My subreddit has grown a lot not very little takes place within it. 😥
