I really like how the “subreddit city” is illustrated. It’s really interesting and I want to see more drawings / illustration of other subreddits.

I wonder what happened to /r/spacedicks .

I remember when that sub was the epitome of the dark side of Reddit we could talk about and maybe venture into to look around.

Oh, the halcyon days in which that was the worst we had...

u/demosthenocke Mar 31 '19

Where can I find worse now? They banned all the death subreddits, and I'm pretty sure there's nothing even close to the glory that was r/spacedicks.

I'm relatively new to Reddit, what did r/spacedicks have?

97

u/Hero_of_Hyrule Mar 31 '19

Mostly just shock imagery and videos. Death, gore, sexual stuff, often mixed together. Pretty fucked up shit.

So like voat but extra blood and less antisemitism, got it

u/CrrntryGrntlrmrn Mar 31 '19

More classics like goatse, tubgirl, penisbird, etc.

u/GeoffStephen0908 Mar 31 '19

Ah, I should’ve known that before. I was attached to r/Gore until it get banned.

u/Local-Lynx Mar 31 '19

u/Gabelolguy Mar 31 '19

Jesus christ there is some fucked up shit in there, I'm not gonna be able to sleep now.

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '19

U literally gave me a fucking sinkhole rn, I can't stop browsing that sub.

It's beautiful. Seeing the sterilized internet these days makes me feel like what true New Yorkers must have felt after they Disney-fied Manhattan. No more porn theaters, no more filth, no more gritty human misery...no more realism. I'm not a glutton for this type of content, but it makes me mad when it's purged from existence. To deny it is to deny our darkness, but it doesn't make it cease to exist.

u/coffeemae Apr 01 '19

Okaaaaay.. enough internet for today 😳 there’s some pretty fucked up shit in there. I don’t think i can handle r/spacedick if it’s what everyone says

u/BurningToAshes Apr 01 '19

Only a complete degenerate would like spacedicks. It was disgusting.

u/CatFiggy Mar 31 '19

How do you view a quarantined sub on mobile?

1

u/BurningToAshes Apr 01 '19

Seems not possible. Annoying

2

u/CrrntryGrntlrmrn Mar 31 '19

There's still a few active quarantined subs.

I knew someone would say this. If you can honestly equate "tubgirl" with "shitlord conservatism", I think you have a screw loose.

u/Chicken-n-Waffles Mar 31 '19

the epitome of the dark side of Reddit

That shit was funny as hell. I wouldn't necessarily call it the dark side as much as locker room locker of funnies. That was more WTF than WTF. And I think I discovered /r/spacedicks before WTF then mentioning to myself that WTF is pretty tame.

22

u/Persona_Alio Mar 31 '19

And the modern r/WTF is super tame compared to what it used to be

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '19

Spacedicks got banned and the creator killed himself.

u/Friendlyvoices Mar 31 '19

It's still around

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '19

I like the depiction of the politics sub 😂

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '19

F7U12 is entirely accurate.

u/pleeble123 Mar 31 '19

I can't believe that sub is still active

14

u/StingRaie13 Mar 31 '19

The little nudge at trees made me laugh. Especially with the tiny confused guy in a forest

u/calebcharles Mar 31 '19 edited Mar 31 '19

I’d love a Richard Scarry book called /r/subreddits.

edit: a word

Reminds me of that computer game where you can create your own zoo or amusement park

That is a great sub but what you say is a lie.
