    Can you stop posting videos of this character? AMost people don’t enjoy watching the horrors of USA on a daily basis. Or do so in a way that’s more removed via a link with appropriate warning labels if you have to.

    An auto playing gif is unacceptable.

        I mean, many people primarily scroll by all, and aren’t looking for auto play videos of assholes. I think it’s a fair ask.

          Then block the community. It’s absolutely an unfair ask when the solution is so simple.

            Or block users, or keywords. Did we forget that feeds need to be cultivated? This is like complaining there’s cheese in France…

          That sounds like a “you” problem. If you (using it as oneself) don’t want to be offended by images or videos being displayed or AutoPlayed, then simply disable image preview and AutoPlay. The onus is on you, not OP.

            Yeah I think that’s fair. I’m on very low sleep and I did empathize with the feeling of not wanting to scroll across certain content. However, it is absolutely my fault for choosing to scroll all instead of curating a set of communities, but also scrolling all is kinda the only way to see more regular content and discover new communities.

            I wish we had more tags than just “NSFW” or “NSFL” to tag posts/communities, because figuring out which keywords to filter seems both difficult and potentially easy to block more than I’d want to block.

      Oh man, I love disassociating so much. I hate the real world. Why do I have to be constantly reminded of genocide, innocent people being sent to concentration camps, entire demographics losing their rights, or fascist white supremacists that would goon to the thought of my life being just a little harder?

      Why is no one letting me disassociate in peace like I want. Don’t they understand that I’m the real victim here?

        I also go out of way to not watch rape videos even though that is also the reality. Watching vileness happen 6000km removed from me is relishing in another person’s suffering.

          Unsub or block the community literally about these sorts of things? Do you often ask other people to change for you instead of simply removing yourself?

          Where in the FUCK are you hanging out online that you’re at risk of accidentally seeing one of those kinds of videos? Maybe you need to stop hanging out in those kinds of places.

            Well guess go out of my way was the wrong phrase.

            There also was a video on the reddit front page of a girl with cat ears playing and subsequently eating a live rat/mouse, just like a cat might do. Guess you just gotta deal with it.

      The title says what the content is. Don’t want to see it, don’t watch it. Put up a filter, don’t have autoplay on, block the community, whatever. It’s on you to decide what content you consume.

      You are aware that you control what you click on and watch on your computer, right? This community didn’t just…magically appear on your screen.

        That’s happening on the other side of the planet, most people have no right to dictate and enforce laws for America. Not gonna go advocate for a war to stop this injustice. The shown examples aren’t special, I.e. a higher level reporting would be appropriate. Hence looking at those shows a morbid enjoyment to me.
