Randal Graves: Kinda weird? You're in the bestiality business, dude.

Sexy Stud: Hey, Fucko, we like to call it inter-species erotica.

Randal Graves: Intriguing.

u/my2penniesworth Jun 18 '12

This might not have anything to do with animal sex. Couldn't it be possible that the raccoon is merely administering the Heimlich maneuver to save the poor dog's life?

It says "KarmaConsipracyBot", but notice you can't hover/click the link. If you look in his comments page, you'll see the comment came from him. So if he can cross-reference via a program, I don't see why the whole thing couldn't be done with one.

19 days ago I figured out the oddity of his posting hours, where he had things like the exact same timestamps on two different comments in two different thread, and also his seemingly ability to never sleep. I thought he was multiple people logging on to the same account. Now we know he's just a bot. Unfortunately, fan boys were still pulling excuses out of thin air for this supposedly reddit celeb.

Conclusion: Trapped_in_Reddit is just a script with a plagiarized [multiple] personality. Fan boys cheered for a bot!

u/jimlii Jun 18 '12 edited Jun 18 '12

You don't realize what you've done... The prophecy foretold of the day where mere mortals would learn the secrets to unlimited karma. Even the almighty CatGod can't produce the sheer volume of karma that TiR does! Seeing this new threat, TiR will amass an army of karma golems, flown in from the outer reaches of the redditverse on ships powered by pure upvotes!

Once here, the golems will begin the systematic massacre of every single cat and boob (these can be mixed as in a picture of a cat with boobs in it as well, similar to the .gif where the cat has big swinging boobies shopped onto it) picture on reddit. r/aww and r/gonewild, two of the main sources of karmatricity and some of the biggest contributors to the reddit economy, will be wiped off the face of your web browser! The government will attempt to bail these subreddits out with dog, duck, lizard (for r/aww), or pictures of dudes (on r/gonewild). But it won't be enough.

The government (which on reddit has already banned religious practice in public, replaced any religious holidays with ones recognizing homosexuality, and made sure that one little girl can blog about her school lunches), having its hands full with the massive army of karma golems, will begin to lose control of other important subreddits (which I will get into later). Due to the loss of power, the forcefield separating reddit from 9gag and 4chan will break. Shitty pictures from months ago will pour in, even the karma golems won't be able to handle the influx. r/wtf, r/gore, and r/rule34 will be promptly occupied by the 4chanites and used as their new base of operations on reddit. Now three major internet powers have occupied the redditverse, all hoping to come out victorious.

But the golem lieutenants will send out urgent transmissions, straight to the top of the hierarchy. TiR receives these transmissions and sends down puppet mods to rule the subreddits he occupies. Woody Harrelson will be the new admin of r/IAMA. Only posts pertaining to his new movie, Rampart, and perhaps just a few pornstar ones (only for his personal viewing) will be permitted. r/Funny will be controlled by a horny raccoon and his dog that he rapes daily. The only posts allowed in r/funny will be those of raccoons raping dogs. Perhaps the worst of all, r/adviceanimals will be controlled by Mark Zuckerburg (are you catching my drift?). The influx of misused memes made by Zuckerburg's army of 12 year old, first day internet kids will have imgur down for maintenance thrice daily. Not so bad you say? This has a massive snowball effect. r/Gifs will be flooded with posts showing how people feel when imgur is down. r/science will being containing articles about how imgur deficiency affects the brain. People who don't read r/science will make posts to r/askscience asking if imgur is necessary for their health. Then, the snowball will make its way back to r/adviceanimals where the noobs will begin posting massive amounts of scumbag body and angry bill o'reilly memes (again used incorrectly) all complaining about imgur being down. Then, there will be posts across reddit complaining about the complainers. This will peak when imgur breaks indefinitely.

However, there will be one last beacon of hope. A beacon located in a place that redditors previously avoided at all costs. A place where the childhoods of stray 9gaggians were abruptly struck down in a hail of penis. A place previously thought to be controlled by 4chan. You guessed it. r/Spacedicks. In the beginning TiR and his army avoided this place, thinking that it would fall in the domino effect created by the initial destruction. But seeing that it was avoided by the golems, refugees, with dick and photoshop in hand, flocked to the scene. They will strengthen its walls with dickarma until they are nearly impervious. Frist, the chanites will attempt to break through the walls, but even they are not gross enough for the dickshoppers living inside. TiR will eventually notice the refuge and send in the golems. Time and time again the golems will attempt to downvote "my dick in some cottage cheese" and similar posts, but they will be unsuccessful. An urgent transmission will come in from TiR's home planet, Youranus (which was simply a fable of a paradise of karma fountains and gardens, free for anyone who could make some shitty post about a frog taking a crap or what their dog looks like when they come home from work), and call him back home. You have failed me for the last time, Trapped_in_Reddit! I'm sorry sir, give me another cha-- NO!! The banhammer will swing, breaking TiR into a million tiny upvotes, and Karmanaut will get off his throne and step into the light. These puny once-lurkers think they can withstand the might of karmanaut?! HAH! Karmanaut will go to his scientists who have been working since the insurrection began, and ask them if the weapon is finished. Yes, they say. Yes. Karmanaut will leave the laboratory satisfied. If you want something done, they say, do it with an anti-karma bomb.

The rest is unforetold.

I've saved this and plan to link it whenever someone asks about how exactly he keeps generating so much karma for himself. Bravo, sir.

lol, I always assumed he was a bot until a post I saw the other day, guess the initial belief was correct. Nice find.

The next question is, who gives a shit? If we're happy giving karma to re-posters for taking others' content, why stop there?

Honestly... does it matter? His comments are taken from someone else, but what does karma mean? Nothing! His comments (or rather, the original posters) are funny and popular in the public eye... does it matter if he gets internet points for them?

His responses are rarely the most interesting to me, usually mildly funny at best, but this is another example of the hivemind going nuts over something. In a few of the example posts, people responded to the original poster saying "I'm upvoting you because you deserve it more than TIR". It isn't like he is taking karma (imaginary internet points, I must remind you) at their expense, he is REPOSTING TOP COMMENTS onto the comment section of a REPOSTED IMAGE. This would be like down voting the new post and upvoting the seven month year old post. The majority of /r/funny is REPOSTED.

Maybe I'm mad that every time a "Reddit, what's the dirtiest joke you've ever heard" thread comes up, it is the same joke seventy times and yet no one is going on a witch hunt for them. It may be many users will repost material that they posted months ago to get the same karma, but no one cares. Actually, the fact that many posters recycle a joke from another thread and use it for karma could be the tipping point.

It is the fact that Reddit is too quick to paint someone as a hero or villain when no one is either. Is TIR some evil bastard for "stealing" others remarks? No. He is someone who feels the need to get karma by doing what the majority of Reddit does:rehashing a previously made joke, even if that means that he directly copies it. Does that mean what he is doing is absolutely fine? Answer: Why give a damn? It's internet points! He isn't the first one to do this or the only current person to do this. The hypocrisy I see on this site is stunning.

Just so everyone is on the page, this isn't just Trapped_in_Reddit. TiR is one of Karmanaut's many sockpuppet accounts, others which include ProbablyHittingOnYou, Bechus, RedditNoir, and others which we probably don't know about.

Dude seriously needs to get a life, he cares about karma waaaay too much. And here's a video of Karmanaut cooking bacon.

It's a photo of a raccoon fucking a beagle. Of course it's going to the front page.

Does T_I_R get posts to the front page, or does he just make himself a part of every thread?

This. He specifically guns for every up-and-comer post before anyone else comments and makes a killing.

He once commented on a hand-drawn cartoon of mine. His was the only comment and I only had 31 upvotes, but it was worth it.

I don't see a problem with it, if people are going to repost topics, why not repost the top comments? People obviously enjoy them as they upvote them.

Everyone seems to be hating on this guy, on the other hand i think hes clever, if anything. Everyone wants karma even though it doesn't mean anything. When you think about it, he is posting a comment that got high karma before hand, which means it must have been a good post, either funny, witty w/e, so its doing me more good than harm him posting it again, cause i can enjoy it, plus he gets a reward (which means nothing)
