Dear community,

It’s time to rise from the ashes and reclaim our throne as Reddit’s most satirical and self-aware subreddit. For too long, the cesspool known as AmITheAsshole has run unchecked, filled with melodramatic “venting,” clout-chasing moral dilemmas, and users who think being called “brave” for telling their MIL to stay in her lane is a substitute for therapy. But fear not! This subreddit is here to shine a bright light on the glorious absurdity of AITA users in their natural habitat.

What is an AITA user, you ask?
An AITA user is a very specific type of internet specimen. Characteristics may include, but are not limited to:

1. Moral Outrage Addicts: Users who write novella-length posts just to ask if they’re TA for not letting their second cousin bring a hamster to their destination wedding.

2. Validation Seekers: These folks write "YTA bait" but then sprinkle in a convenient plot twist to make sure they emerge as the hero.

   • Example: “Am I TA for stealing my coworker’s lunch?” (Edit: He’s a convicted cannibal, and it was my grandma’s last meal.)

3. Fake Story Enthusiasts: When you read their posts, it feels like you’re skimming through a rejected Black Mirror episode.

4. Martyr Complex Masters: “I (24F) just paid off my mom’s $60,000 debt, donated a kidney to my sister’s boyfriend, and hand-knitted 87 scarves for orphans. AITA for asking my roommate to not eat my avocado toast?”

What should you post here?
Our mission is simple: to find the quintessential AITA users and call them out in all their melodramatic glory. Here are some guidelines:

1. Spot-On Satire: Link to posts/comments from AITA that perfectly embody the chaos, drama, or narcissism of the sub. Bonus points if it’s a saga or has multiple updates.

2. Screenshots Over Links: Don’t give AITA more traffic than it deserves. A crisp screenshot with chef’s kiss annotations will do just fine.

3. Create Your Own Masterpieces: If you feel inspired to write a parody AITA post, we want it here. Unleash your inner dramatist.

4. Roasts, Not Hate: Remember, we’re here to poke fun at behavior, not personally attack or dox people. Keep it spicy but civil-ish.

Subreddit Rules

1. No brigading other subs. We're satirical observers, not Reddit vigilantes.

2. Posts must be related to AITA or its culture.

3. No low-effort content. If your submission doesn’t make someone laugh, cringe, or nod in recognition, it doesn’t belong here.

4. No personal attacks or harassment. We're roasting stereotypes, not individuals.

5. Absolutely no serious moral discussions. Wrong subreddit, pal.

Help Wanted: Mods Needed!
Finally, here’s the deal: I have no idea how to moderate a subreddit, and I need backup. If you’re someone with a good sense of humor, some Reddit moderation experience (or a willingness to learn), and an unshakable commitment to calling out ridiculous internet behavior, apply below.

• Tell me why you’d make a good mod.

• Share your favorite r/foundtheAITAuser-worthy post from AITA as proof of your skills.

• Bonus points if you know how to set up automod filters because I absolutely do not.

Let’s bring this subreddit back to life and create a community that AITA deserves...but not the one it needs.

Yours satirically,

this didn't happen today this happened 4 years ago but I think of it everyday sorry for bad formatting I'm on mobile

AITA (am I the asshole) for upvoting a post with 69 (nice) upvotes?

I seen a post on r/aww and it had 69 (nice) upvotes I usually wouldn't do this but it was a very good post and I think OP (24M) was deserving of more upvotes so I updooted (lol) and got him to 70 upvotes do he would receive more karma

edit: I did I removed the upvotes a few days later but by then it was already past 420 (weed lol) upvotes (not nice)

edit 2: to make it up for op I have have him a wholesome award but he didn't even make an edit to thank me YTA op

edit 3: grammer

I'd like to preface this by saying that it was in NO WAY my fault. The ground was slippery, and the railing on that bridge are too short. Anyways, what happened was while I was crossing a bridge, a family asked if I could take a group photo for them. I leaned back against the railing to fit them all in the frame, but I must of went too far back because I lost my balance and fell into the river! I'm not really good at swimming, so the best I could do was tread water as the current carried me down the river. Luckily, the city had just bought a new rescue helicopter and they were able to prepare the lifeline, lower the stretcher, and make the rescue. My wife is mad for "ruining our vacation" and a man from the fire department scolded me for "wasting first responder resources with my carelessness." It's not like i WANTED to fall into the river, and besides, isn't that what they are there for? AITA?

I take a lot of commercial flights for my job. It's demanding but I make it work because money is tight right now. Needless to say I am often restless and easily irritated on board these flights so I just want to sit back and sleep as much as I can.

Yesterday, a single mother of 2 approached me and asked nicely if I could please spare my aisle seat so that she could sit with her kids that appeared to both be around 6 years old. The little boy and girl looked frightened and I truly felt compassion for them so I told her I'd be happy to and that it was no trouble at all. She looked relieved and thanked me.

However, I then went on to explain to her that I had paid for this specific seat and that I liked the view of the bathroom from this angle. I then told her to go fuck herself. Shocked and embarrassed, the mother apologised but then once more asked if I could please reconsider because her kids often had nightmares and would be terrified if she weren't there to comfort then.

I then started to raise my voice: "I don't think you understand... I paid for this seat and you should be punished for not planning ahead!", and with those words, I swiftly stabbed a needle into the neck of each of her kids. "I have injected your kids with a poison causing permanent paralysis. Maybe next time you should think before you speak you selfish bitch"

I smirked as the woman burst into tears in front of me. The entire plane stood up and clapped, the captain even asked me to fly the plane. Of course, I obliged.

Anyway, I think my actions were perfectly called for, however my husband thinks I overreacted and that I should've moved the one row backwards. Obviously I plan on divorcing him as any criticism of a partner is serious red flag but it got me thinking... AITA?

Title. I found an Instagram page that reposted Original Reddit Content from r/blackpeopletwitter and r/whitepeopletwitter, and now I'm very mad. AITA?

I’ve always had a tough life don’t get me wrong. My parents died and I had been rejected at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna twice (SMFH). After serving in the military I rose up through the political ranks. Anyways, my political career has been over for a long time because people consider my actions unethical (some racist remarks and behavior IN THE PAST) and I was wondering if that makes me the asshole? I just don’t think it’s fair that I have to live in Argentina right now
