a subreddit of actually unpopular opinions isn't posible on reddit because of the nature of the upvote system, this community is only people who 'think' their opinions are unpopular or people trying to game the reddit
I never see this gore in my front page >

Shit neither do I, and I’ve been trying. >

It’s always the quiet people…. >

I’ve seen front pages with severed heads and nobody bats an eye >

My original Reddit account got banned because I followed something like people getting what they deserve or whatever, basically an example someone beats up a grandma and gets knocked out and I’d say ya good fuck that guy, deserved it. And I guess people reported my comments and it got banned. Pretty crazy you can post the video but commenting on it gets you banned….
Was called Justice served!!! Just remembered >

Yeah reddits weird, you can't say stuff that implies wishing harm or death on people, so I just say "I can't say what I'm thinking" >


you can't say stuff that implies wishing harm or death on people

Ummm..... Ya I don't agree with this.  Over the last couple years there seems to be no problem wishing harm or death on republican elected officials.  I got banned from a sub for reporting someone for wishing death on a senator. >

The only way that could POSSIBLY happen is if you said you were the one who made the report, since mods cannot see who reports what. >

Unless you also respond to the questionable comment with "I'm going to report this" >

So, exactly what I said then? >

Yes >

Neither should be on the front page, imo
Also I wish there was a separate tag for gore. NSFW could be anything from a risky text post or straight up mutilation >

There used to be NSFL, not safe for life, and that was helpful for gore tags. 
If I see a sexy image, the worst thing that could happen is somebody else seeing at an inopportune time and getting a little embarrassed. But the mutilation sticks with me. >

Used to? Why’d they get rid of it? No wonder I haven’t been seeing it >

Reddit got rid of it because it gave investors the impression that they 'endorsed' gore being on the site by having a separate tag for it. >

You must not live in a society >

I’ve never had any sort of gore or mutilation or any of that stuff on the front page. Actually, I’ve never seen it at all. How does that even happen? What subreddits are you in???? >

Based on a few memes I've seen r/eyeblech is probably some heinous shit, but I didn't feel like following up to confirm my suspicions >

I just braced myself and took a little peek at that subreddit. I can officially say I have indeed witnessed gore and mutilation and all of that stuff on Reddit. Is the eyebleach one full of actually good/cute things? I’m scared to look. But if so, imma need to look at it for awhile lmao >

Yeah, r/eyebleach is super wholesome! I also recommend r/littlegrabbies and r/illegallysmolcats >

Thank you, you’re so kind and helpful! <3 >

You realize the algorithm curated your front page for you... >

It’s ridiculous, honestly. >

It's not just reddit. It's the whole world. Violence is more tolerated than sex and nudity. Showing terrorists holding people hostage and Iron man firing rockets at terrorists is PG13. But, Janet Jackson shows a tit and they change the rules for the entire entertainment industry. >

I doubt most pornography is a natural part of life. >

Exactly.  Nudity is natural.  Porn is not. >

Not exactly true.  I was a swinger for years.  Never recorded my stuff.  Started recording it with my husband and would just act as I normally would anyway but now I'm paid for it.  Maybe the pro stuff is but it's changed the last few years with cutting out the middle man. >

Thank you for your comment, wifeslutLisa. >

😂 >

I thought all NSFW content was removed from r/popular, not just nudity? >


...pornography is a natural part of life...

Reddit moment. >

you live in a cave, underwater. >

Not everybody consumes porn. Prior to the proliferation of internet porn a significant majority of people had nothing more pornographic than the bra section of the Sears catalogue. 
It is NOT "a natural part of life". >


Prior to the proliferation of internet porn a significant majority of people had nothing more pornographic

Which they rabidly beat their meat to... not sure what you are trying to convey here?
One mans Sears catalogue is another mans pornhub >

Pornography is the exact opposite of natural.
EDIT: The acts/ scenes done in pornography are the opposite of natural/ realistic. Had to specify since someone decided to bash my comment due to lack of understanding my point. >

I mean, violence and gore in your average tv show isn't particulary realistic either. >

Come to the slums and back alleys of Memphis, TN and you’ll be convinced otherwise. Specially Frayser, Shelby Forest, and Raleigh Egypt. >

I too am a little disturbed by the amount of violence and gore pushed to r popular because it's being done to Russians...
Oh look. Here's footage from a drone dropping a grenade on a wounded Russian in a foxhole. No tag, auto play go. Guilded. Seal-clapping in the comments..... Literal NPC shit. It's war over disputed land and sea access - not gas chambers and ethnic genocide. You can support a side but all loss of life should be lamented - not recorded and watched while you eat popcorn.
If I were conspiracy theorist... It's almost like they started the programing of Russia-bad waaaaay back in 2016. Blaming everything on them. Saying how they are responsible for Trump being president. Dehumanizing Russian people.... All to lead to this... where you don't think there's anything at all wrong with watching human beings literally exploding on your feed as you swipe through between memes.
Idk. Some really desensitized times we're living in. >

well obviously russia invading a country unprovoked is incredible in todays age where problems are solved through diplomacy unless your a dictator, but if a group of russian soldiers blowing up is allowed (and it should be) then so should nipples >

I thought the nudity was removed because it was all people pimping their onlyfans??? >

Yeah, the gonewild subs are not like it use to be in like 2015,16,17. >

Popular opinion. What subreddits are you in where there's mutilation!? I'm very happy with my tailored interests pushed to me, thanks. >

yes if you tailor them to remove gore no shit, jesus >

They remove most of the gore years ago >

I never see either of them on my front page. Is this one of those algorithm things based on your reddit viewing habits? >

it's on /all >

Eh.. nudity maybe.  But not that I’m opposed to the art, but most modern pornography isn’t really close to “reality”.  
Cylinder guy is more close to reality for most.  
A coordinated 5 way gang-bang with porn model is more .. theatrical.. than reality. >

I agree with you but mutilation and all that junk is a natural part of life as well >

but one is allowed and one isn't >

Yeah I read what you wrote >

so then you should understand the point >

I just said I agree with you so yeah I do >

Pornography is not a normal part of life, it's the largest addiction in the world, even above alcohol or gambling. Unlike fictional violence in video games or movies, pornography directly rewires the reward circuitry in your brain and becomes a dependence causing anxiety/stress. People addicted to pornography rapidly spiral to more extreme topics due to desensitisation.
It's so bad that a significant proportion of young men, from the age of 12, view and consume pornography every single day for multiple hours on end. I'm not even going to start on sex trafficking or exposure to paedophiles via online platforms, but fictional violence is nowhere close to porn.
If you want to see porn all over the front page of reddit, It'd be much more productive to get some help. >

it is a normal part of life for millions of people who aren't addicted, you would rather see people die, you're aboslutely sick, disgusting >

Not the admins. They have to bend to the advertisers. Same shit happened on YouTube. If they're showing things advertisers don't want to be associated with, the advertisers are going to take their money elsewhere, and the employees working for Reddit will get laid off. >

that's what needs to happen in order for it to change >

Not worth it to the company. It doesn't see the need to change so it won't. >

100 percent.
We live in upside-down world where the evil violence loving people are held up as good and pure, and the good, loving, sexual people are held down as evil and disgusting.
And I am telling you...this is not patriarchy.  Its matriarchy doing this. >

well you're certainly wrong on one thing, normalizing sex work would benefit women >

No.   I am not wrong because you don't even know my stance.
Of COURSE normalizing sex work would benefit women in all MATERIAL ways.
Bad news is most people live in fantasy world, and that is why women especially are against sex work.
Most women are not anywhere near their husband's sex drive.    And they fear that if some other women were taking care of him they would lose control over him.
But they would be better off to have a fair and even relationship based on home life stability rather than sexual dependence.   But that would kill the drama they crave...despite the fact they get plenty out of the damn TV set.
Both men and women are perfectly capable of working hard to undermine their own best interests. >

you are just an idiot who couldn't even talk to a woman, jesus you're a fool, look at the brash generalizations you make about women, you talk like you've never even been in a relationship >

The only way to not generalize would be to write a book.
This is Reddit sir or maam, not a library.   So give me a bit of slack.
You want more?  Take back your "idiot" accusation and apologize.  Basically you are the one offering evidence of idiocy and you need to disprove it or take it back to get more information.
BTW my wife says "hi". >

your wife must be extremely unsatisfied, I feel sorry for her to be married to someone as dumb and moronic as you. how about you read a book for once in your life and actually try to study something before saying the stupidest shit I've ever heard, talking about women craving drama in a relationship, I bet you've only ever met batshit crazy women >


talking about women craving drama in a relationship

If you could just keep your nose out of my personal life and explain to me why the TV is chock full of soap operas and why its primarily women who watch them while most men find them utterly repugnant.
Seriously.  Think about it. >

you are such an idiot, I bet your wife thinks about other guys who could fuck her better than you. have you not realized that men also like dramatic shows? jesus you're dumb >

No, management isn't "out of touch" because violence is more socially accepted then nudity.
Basically, the hardcore puritans turn a blind eye to violence but will wage bloody war over a nipple.
Is it BS? yes, doesn't mean it isn't true though. >

you're going to blame this on puritans? you're 100 years too late, it's not them it's advertisers, if they took note, reddit would change >

If you acknowledge that this is driven by the advertisers, why are you calling Reddit management/admins out of touch? >

I honestly don't care if either is on the front page, but to elevate nudity and pornography above death and mutilation on the basis of it being "natural" doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. One could even make a pretty good argument that someone being eaten alive by a grizzly bear is far more natural than someone shoving a silicone fist in their ass. 
There are also a LOT more laws surrounding the dissemination/distribution of pornography than there are around gory images or videos, which makes it a lot harder for advertisers and business owners to get behind. >

I don't know how you can genuinely have this opinion. Is seeing someone fuck silicone really going to traumatize you? I've seen a number of graphic suicides on reddit against my will and it'll stay in my mind for life. >

Well… it only shows what you’re in. If you join mostly NSFW subreddits you’ll see a lot of nudes but if you join stuff like eyeblech then you’ll see mutilated bodies >

He said the front page. That means it doesn't matter what subreddit he's in, you're thinking of the homepage. >

Ah okay. My bad and thanks for the correction >

Np >

Pornography isn’t a natural part of life. It’s usually violent and totally misogynistic. Slippery slope. You sound like a predator/weirdo. >

you are totally blind and see nothing, it has been around since humans have >

You tell them! Onlyfans was all the rage back in the stone age. >

just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's not true >

Define pornography. >

watching sex or nudity >

You have to love seeing the OP out here in the comments insulting everyone who calls them out for being a porn addict who doesn't engage in the real world. I'll add this to my collection of idiotic opinions posted in this subreddit. >

Somebody is a porn addict because they rather see boobs than gore? >

Did you only read the title of the post and literally nothing else OP has written here? >

No I haven't seen people get mutilated on the frontpage. If those are the subreddits you subscribe to, your problem. >

You need to work on how you communicate with people. Nothing you say matters if you are aggressive and dismissive. They will only see the aggression.
You are posting to a sub for unpopular opinions and then belittling people for having other opinions. It makes you seem unintelligent, impulsive and immature. And terminally online. None of those may be true, but that is how you will be perceived behaving like this. 
Take a step back- breathe. You can’t control how people treat you but you can control how you respond. Or carry on and yell into the void- it’s equally as productive as insulting strangers that disagree. You may not change their minds, but don’t let them shape the way your brain processes negativity.
I hope you find peace within yourself stranger, and enjoy the rest of your day. >

HAHAHAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH >

Alright- perhaps you are just immature and terminally online- carry on. It will not effect my day, but it certainly will harm you. Hopefully age will bring some personal growth and perspective. Good luck! >

It’s not the management being out of touch, though. It’s the advertisers who are very much in touch who know exactly what will or won’t harm their image.  
And it really isn’t a problem at all. Why are you getting so upset over such an insignificant inconvenience? >

I agree with your first paragraph. And well for your second point it can be more than an inconvenience. There is some truly nasty stuff on the internet, Reddit no exception. It’s reasonable to be offended or upset by mutilation, gore, death/violence, etc. >

ive been on this site for quite some time now and as far as i can remember i have never seen gore or anything of the likes. you just gotta keep away from some subs and ur good imo. >

porn is not natural part of life, please step out your goon cave. >

Sure but videos of people getting mauled by animals or torn apart my machinery aren’t a natural part of life, either. >

Well people getting mauled by animals is kind of a natural part of life. Kind of thing humans have had to deal with since the caveman.
Machinery too to a lesser extent. Humans have been hurt by machines since tools were first invented. But thats just being pedantic. >

But if videos of those things are natural, then videos of people having sex must be natural too right? >

I wouldn't say videos but depictions of sex have been around since the Paleothic age (Old Stone Age) with cave paintings depict humans with exaggerated sexual characteristics.
Then there is the Ain Sakhri Lovers which is approximately 11,000 years old. Considered to be oldest known representation of two people engaged in sex. Discovered in caves near Bethlehem.
Followed by the Turin Erotic Papyrus, ancient Egyptian papyrus from approximately 3,000 considered first example of pornography, depicting various sexual positions.
So yeah depictions of sex are natural, been a part of human history since the beginning. >

That's just our weird ass culture. Violence is a tool we've used in the media for the sake of propaganda, fear mongering, or military recruitment. Show beheadings of innocent journalists to rally the people, show the aftermath of a fatal car crash to scare kids, show soldiers at war to inspire sign ups... There is a design there. 
Sex, on the other hand, makes it's money by being 'forbidden' and 'shameful' to some degree. If we were more accepting, the powers that be would have to start legitimizing the porn industry and I don't believe the porn industry wants that. They make more money as a 'necessary evil' - Something people pay hand over fist for but don't want to get close enough to address all the illegal shit they pull to bring in more money. 
It's not religion, or faith, or prudishness. It's money. The government does not want to shell out the money that would be needed to legitimize the sex industry and make it safe. The leaders of the porn industry don't want the oversight or for their workers to have a place to turn to when they're abused. >

Money talks. If it’s not stopping money from coming in. They’re not going to do shit about it and that’s the most natural thing about the world lmfao >

I mean, people being brutally killed, especially by other humans, is also a natural part of life. >

Technically severed heads is also a natural part of life. >

What's almost as bad is Yahoo News' front page, which every day has at least one story with accompanying photo of a "nude" celebrity.
Of course, when you check it out, said celebrity is either "nude" behind a huge rock or "nude" underneath a robe. >

Morbid curiosity has a name for a reason. >

To build on that, nudity is bad but every other post being fucking hentai is fine. >

How do you figure that pornography is natural and a part of life? Many parts of the world no longer live in a culture where being nude is the norm, very few cultures don't wear clothing anymore and even then many that do cover their genitals. We now have cultures that value consent when displaying nudity and sexuality. Neither gore nor pornography should be on the homepage for anyone who hasn't subscribed to, and therefore consented to, seeing such content. >

I have tits on my home page. >

I remember when 7-11 had titty magazines right in front of the registers >

What's wrong with mutilation? 🤨 >

In before this actually polarizing opinion gets removed by the wuss mods. I'd suggest post this somewhere like r/trueoffmychest where the mods have some semblance of dignity and won't just shut this post up like little children sticking their fingers in their ears and going "lalalala" because someone is telling them something they don't want to hear. >

Plenty of websites to find nudity on. >

I'm not saying it's good but they're probably actually very in-touch with American culture. >

Goddamn do I hate it when people say "natural part of life"
Shitting is also a natural part of life, yet I never see people fight for the right to shit wherever you please be it in a pedestrian, the bed and whatnot >

The same applies to cable media. You can glorify guns, violence, and war on primetime TV, but if you say "fuck" or show boob you get immediately taken off the air. >

It's not Reddit management, it's society >

it's reddit that allows one and not the other, so you are, in fact, wrong >

Too young to remember network tv, 'ey?
You complaining about Reddit doesn't mean it's Reddit that's the problem... You admit yourself in your op that advertisers will drop them.
It's societal. >

what a simple minded fool you clearly are, society does care about this and the people that upvoted this care, it's simply because advertisers haven't been made aware, not a lack of society caring, you sound like someone who quotes joker lines >

Jesus fuck, kid, you sound absurd. Grow up and learn how to interact with people. >

To be fair, people have been killing each other for as long as we’ve existed - nude or clothed. It’s a “natural part of life” too, even if it’s less appealing >

I've used reddit for 6 years and I've never seen any pornography or gore on the front page, maybe its just the subs you are subscribed to >

I'm right here loser >

Because Reddit Mods are sick fucks that can’t get laid, so they don’t wanna be reminded of what they can’t obtain. >

🎶it’s the American waaaaay 🎶 >

Agree that's fucked. It reminds me of the hypocrisy of banning all Nazi subreddits (perfectly reasonable and obvious) but there are several un-ironic communist sub reddits with a full on hammer & sickle logo..... >

Gore is just as natural if not more natural than what you mentioned >

That’s not the point of my comment🤡 >

then you fail to understand a basic conversation >

Wasn’t my intent. Also your comment doesn’t make sense🤡 > >

Lesser to who? Certainly not you >

That's how it's always been in America.  TV censors language and nudity, but allows for violence. >

I’m pretty sure real death and execution videos would immediately be taken down, but if you’re referring to movie or video game violence I honestly wouldn’t put them on the same category as sex and nudity.
I grew up around violent video games and movies, as kids there was play fighting but that was about it, there’s no inherent pleasure derived from inflicting pain on others outside of video games, psychopaths aside people generally feel bad when they cause pain to others.
Sex is different, the act just feels good all around, the longterm consequences are not immediately visible, and if kids through exposure get too comfortable with the idea it’s definitely the sort of “fun” kids might try, so it’s definitely something I would censor with a higher maturity rating. >

they aren't removed, combat footage still makes it to the front page >

I suspect whatever algorithm may be auto removing nudity probably has a harder time distinguishing violence and gore in general, nudity in an image is easier to recognize than violence which is a more abstract concept and gore might be difficult for a bot to distinguish from meat.
Still if reported human mods should remove it fairly quickly just not as quickly as bots. >

it's not an algorithm, it's subreddits not being included in the front page >

Like what? Can you link to the violent gore that made it to the front page?
If it’s anything like youtube they use an algorithm to determine what gets up there. >

Lmao, OP is getting mad at everyone telling him porn isn't natural. >

you honestly think something around since humans have lived isn't natural? You would have to be a simple minded fool to think that >

This is what you wanted when you started deplatforming people by going after advertisers.  Just saying. >

me huh? check again lul >

I'd much rather see bewbs than human suffering 🤷🏼‍♂️ but I guess that's because I'm a perverted creep >

Pornography is not a natural part of life. Not that I'm against it... It is just factually incorrect to say that something that is literally staged and produced by people is a natural part of life. >

wrong, pornography has excited as long as humans have >

Yes... Doesn't make it natural? 
Porn is an art form, not a natural phenomenon. >

it is a natural part of humanity, which I count myself a part of >

Is this in reference to a particular post or something? >

Firsttime? >

This should not be an unpopular take >

Dunno man. 
Something not fun about the first thing in my feed in the morning is an r/amateurroomporn post of a decent sized human peeeeeeen. >

That’s not a Reddit problem. That’s a Mercian problem. >

In what regards ? 
There’s pages for different topics. Pages where you would expect to see nudity have unfettered nudity. 
I understand your OP but can you elaborate? >

They also removed /r/fatpeoplehate for the same reason. Advertisers. Advertisers are who tells Reddit what can and can’t go on the front page. >

No they are very much in touch with what makes money and what doesn't, you may not agree with their choices but don't act like they are stupid because they simply aren't. >

It's not management, it's us. Users will get furious, rant at advertisers, and cancel their subscriptions or whatever over nudity or sexuality. OTOH they won't, or at least many fewer of them will, over violence.
It was the same on TV, where you could have shows starting serial killers to general applause, but a nip slip caused a nationwide public uproar.
It's weird, but that's the truth. It's not the fault of advertisers, they just follow the money and duck controversy. >

It's the USA model, pretend nudity is too sensitive for general audiences, but gore, violence b and death are mainstream. r/publicfreakout is becomi g the new rotten.com >

Yeah people give mods a lot of shit when the admins are far worse. Scourge of the internet >

I agree with the last sentence of your title. Just all around. Compared to what reddit originally was today’s reddit is a mere husk of the greater former self. >

Test >

i find it funny that on the news you can show a lot of gore, talk about gore, and a lot of other things similar to that, but NEVER cuss. that is terrible stuff. >

Booooooooorn in the ….. (well, you get it) >

Yeah, Ive always thought it was weird that you can show the inside of someone but not the outside >

I don't if you're American or not but if you're new here, enjoy your stay. Titties bad, blood and guts A-OK. >

Religion is what it all comes down to.
Who has tried to control sex the most of any organisation evere?
Who has killed more in the name of their organisation?
American culture is built on religion and so capitalism is run by it. >

Have you seen society? This is everywhere. Violence is cool, sex is bad. Tons of people and media and organizations obsess with this. >

Half the advertising is for ball shavers and hentai games anyway. >

Only in puritan countries. Germany shows tities on TV and even advertisements on subways flip at night to show nudity. >

Or references to rape, child sex abuse, violations of human rights. I rarely go to the popular page anymore because I want to browse Reddit to relax, not read about things that make me hate humanity. Like I already know those things exist, I donate to certain causes so I definitely don't think the world is roses but like... I've learned some shit I never wanted to. >

It's banned from the front page because too much of it is just advertisement for Onlyfans or other porn sites.
While nudity may be a natural part of life, pornography is a business. >

Facebook used to be like this, but I've not visited that shithole for a long time >

actually, pornography is "not a natural part of life".  it only seems that way to people who spend most of their day searching for it online >

Natural yeh, but I’d say a normal part of life. Gore is still a natural part of life, just not really common? I mean I agree that the type of censorship is nonsensical I’m just word picking really lol >

but one is banned and one isn't, that's the point >

Yes you’re correct, it’s extremely absurd that they would allow gore on the front page and not nudity. It is quite nonsensical. >

Does Reddit even really have a front page anymore? >

/all >

Is that like popular on the app?  It’s not like the old days anymore >

what >

What do you mean front page? On my porn account there's nothing but nudity on my front page. >

Also misogyny gets downvoted but misandry always gets upvoted.
Sexism is bad regardless of gender >

American style censorship
You are free to watch whatever gore or brutality you wish, but the moment any nudity appears -- conservative mental midgets will screech with all their Karen powers "what about the children!?" >

I guess your opinion is very unpopular since you have so many upvotes. You got mine too. >

a subreddit of actually unpopular opinions isn't posible on reddit because of the nature of the upvote system, this community is only people who 'think' their opinions are unpopular or people trying to game the reddit >

"Remember kids, TV violence is okay as long as they don't show a nipple!"
-Krusty the clown >

I don't want people to start coom baiting all of their Reddit posts for attention. >

I mean thing being torn to shreds is pretty natural as well all things considered. >

Anything NSFW that's sexual. Makes business harder lol >

tbh i get mostly nudity on my front page 😬 >

American Market: Violence is far more accepted than nudity, whereas Europe is the other way around. >

I agree, fuck the admins
unzips pants >

Not out of touch, just American (I'm American too and hate this about us so much).
People in most subs absolutely flip their shit at the slightest hint of skin, unless it delegated out of the way to pure porn (oddly sex positive and prude at the same time). The slightest hint of sexuality anywhere else ever, movies, tv, games, and it's just "bonk" and acting like it's the most terrible thing ever. >

not unpopular take my downvote >

Fuck the admins of reddit, I've been permanent banned on 2 subs now for first time offences and both times worse things than my comments have been posted.
1 I asked why the black and white minstrels were offensive but a black person dressing as a white character wasn't. (I genuinely didn't know about the minstrels). Next thing I seen was a post of the kkk titled "every white person wearing this outfit"
2 I got banned for saying a minority group should be psych evaluated to make sure they weren't actually mad because of how they were acting as it wasn't normal behavior (even for that group).
Next video I seen was a man saying he hated white people and wanted them gone, admitting he was racist.
Told I was promoting hate speech.
Mods are so over zealous and power hungry they will act like assholes and disregard everything else that has sense. >

I totally agree it’s appalling a kid can go on Reddit home page and watch someone get hit by a bus no problem. >

Apparently posting and reposting necrophilia, zoophilia and pedophilia is fine in Twtter's book. Meanwhile my original Twitter account got banned because I used a photo of female butt as my cover image. >

Mods here on reddit are trash, we all know that, so nothing you should be surprised about I guess. >

First time seeing the russian lathe video huh? >

I'm honestly glad it's gone, it's just boring to just be spammed with random pictures of naked woman when browsing r/all, if I wanted to see that I'd just look up porn. >

This is an unpopular opinion? Didn't the management sell out to the Chinese? Of course they only care about advertisers. Same thing with your YouTubes and your Twitters. Wait long enough and an alternative might pop up.
Then the cycle will repeat. >

Agreed; many cultures, western in particular, are far too prudish about sex while openly embracing violence and death. It's so weird to me. >

It's been this way since Mortal Kombat (I actually remember the news paper headlines warning parents their kids would become psychopaths.)
It's rooted in Catholicism, which has a lot of racism. White society has a long way to go from this. >

Well I concur that there shouldn't be any censorship in the internet.
For two reasons:
- Facebook, Instagram, etc. pay low wage in third world countries to people whose job is to watch and censor all that disgusting stuff, so you don't need to. There are testimonies of people with accumulated psychological damage.
- humanity should be confronted with every facet of themselves in the internet. What we get is a polished and photoshopped illusion. The reality would flood everything with porn and gore. What do you think how many gory war scenes are deleted? >

I remember reading The Sun (a British newspaper) when they had page 3.  An American family was freaking out at me because there was a nude model. 
I was sat in a pub and told them they didn't have to sit next to me if they were so offended by it.  Its just not a big deal here. >

That is because puritans can't stand the idea of someone seeing nudity.
But everyone loves a good beheading >

Oh, what a vile world we live in, 
Where 'tis far more common to see a beast devour a man, 
Than it is to view a natural part of life, 
For the admins have no inclination to change the strife. 
Pornography and nudity, these are not sins, 
But their acceptance the admins do not let begin. 
Let us show our discontent and reject this disgrace, 
For 'tis far more important than a single nipple in this place. >

It's an American culture in nutshell, violence and gore are passable, nudity isn't. >

I never see this gore in my front page >

Shit neither do I, and I’ve been trying. >

It’s always the quiet people…. >

I’ve seen front pages with severed heads and nobody bats an eye >

My original Reddit account got banned because I followed something like people getting what they deserve or whatever, basically an example someone beats up a grandma and gets knocked out and I’d say ya good fuck that guy, deserved it. And I guess people reported my comments and it got banned. Pretty crazy you can post the video but commenting on it gets you banned….

Yeah reddits weird, you can't say stuff that implies wishing harm or death on people, so I just say "I can't say what I'm thinking" >


you can't say stuff that implies wishing harm or death on people

Ummm..... Ya I don't agree with this.  Over the last couple years there seems to be no problem wishing harm or death on republican elected officials.  I got banned from a sub for reporting someone for wishing death on a senator. >

The only way that could POSSIBLY happen is if you said you were the one who made the report, since mods cannot see who reports what. >

Unless you also respond to the questionable comment with "I'm going to report this" >

So, exactly what I said then? >

Yes >

Neither should be on the front page, imo
Also I wish there was a separate tag for gore. NSFW could be anything from a risky text post or straight up mutilation >

There used to be NSFL, not safe for life, and that was helpful for gore tags. 
If I see a sexy image, the worst thing that could happen is somebody else seeing at an inopportune time and getting a little embarrassed. But the mutilation sticks with me. >

Used to? Why’d they get rid of it? No wonder I haven’t been seeing it >

Reddit got rid of it because it gave investors the impression that they 'endorsed' gore being on the site by having a separate tag for it. >

You must not live in a society >

I’ve never had any sort of gore or mutilation or any of that stuff on the front page. Actually, I’ve never seen it at all. How does that even happen? What subreddits are you in???? >

Based on a few memes I've seen r/eyeblech is probably some heinous shit, but I didn't feel like following up to confirm my suspicions >

I just braced myself and took a little peek at that subreddit. I can officially say I have indeed witnessed gore and mutilation and all of that stuff on Reddit. Is the eyebleach one full of actually good/cute things? I’m scared to look. But if so, imma need to look at it for awhile lmao >

Yeah, r/eyebleach is super wholesome! I also recommend r/littlegrabbies and r/illegallysmolcats >

Thank you, you’re so kind and helpful! <3 >

You realize the algorithm curated your front page for you... >

It’s ridiculous, honestly. >

It's not just reddit. It's the whole world. Violence is more tolerated than sex and nudity. Showing terrorists holding people hostage and Iron man firing rockets at terrorists is PG13. But, Janet Jackson shows a tit and they change the rules for the entire entertainment industry. >

I doubt most pornography is a natural part of life. >

Exactly.  Nudity is natural.  Porn is not. >

Not exactly true.  I was a swinger for years.  Never recorded my stuff.  Started recording it with my husband and would just act as I normally would anyway but now I'm paid for it.  Maybe the pro stuff is but it's changed the last few years with cutting out the middle man. >

Thank you for your comment, wifeslutLisa. >

😂 >

I thought all NSFW content was removed from r/popular, not just nudity? >


...pornography is a natural part of life...

Reddit moment. >

you live in a cave, underwater. >

Not everybody consumes porn. Prior to the proliferation of internet porn a significant majority of people had nothing more pornographic than the bra section of the Sears catalogue. 
It is NOT "a natural part of life". >


Prior to the proliferation of internet porn a significant majority of people had nothing more pornographic

Which they rabidly beat their meat to... not sure what you are trying to convey here?
One mans Sears catalogue is another mans pornhub >

Pornography is the exact opposite of natural.
EDIT: The acts/ scenes done in pornography are the opposite of natural/ realistic. Had to specify since someone decided to bash my comment due to lack of understanding my point. >

I mean, violence and gore in your average tv show isn't particulary realistic either. >

Come to the slums and back alleys of Memphis, TN and you’ll be convinced otherwise. Specially Frayser, Shelby Forest, and Raleigh Egypt. >

I too am a little disturbed by the amount of violence and gore pushed to r popular because it's being done to Russians...
Oh look. Here's footage from a drone dropping a grenade on a wounded Russian in a foxhole. No tag, auto play go. Guilded. Seal-clapping in the comments..... Literal NPC shit. It's war over disputed land and sea access - not gas chambers and ethnic genocide. You can support a side but all loss of life should be lamented - not recorded and watched while you eat popcorn.
If I were conspiracy theorist... It's almost like they started the programing of Russia-bad waaaaay back in 2016. Blaming everything on them. Saying how they are responsible for Trump being president. Dehumanizing Russian people.... All to lead to this... where you don't think there's anything at all wrong with watching human beings literally exploding on your feed as you swipe through between memes.
Idk. Some really desensitized times we're living in. >

well obviously russia invading a country unprovoked is incredible in todays age where problems are solved through diplomacy unless your a dictator, but if a group of russian soldiers blowing up is allowed (and it should be) then so should nipples >

I thought the nudity was removed because it was all people pimping their onlyfans??? >

Yeah, the gonewild subs are not like it use to be in like 2015,16,17. >

Popular opinion. What subreddits are you in where there's mutilation!? I'm very happy with my tailored interests pushed to me, thanks. >

yes if you tailor them to remove gore no shit, jesus >

They remove most of the gore years ago >

I never see either of them on my front page. Is this one of those algorithm things based on your reddit viewing habits? >

it's on /all >

Eh.. nudity maybe.  But not that I’m opposed to the art, but most modern pornography isn’t really close to “reality”.  
Cylinder guy is more close to reality for most.  
A coordinated 5 way gang-bang with porn model is more .. theatrical.. than reality. >

I agree with you but mutilation and all that junk is a natural part of life as well >

but one is allowed and one isn't >

Yeah I read what you wrote >

so then you should understand the point >

I just said I agree with you so yeah I do >

Pornography is not a normal part of life, it's the largest addiction in the world, even above alcohol or gambling. Unlike fictional violence in video games or movies, pornography directly rewires the reward circuitry in your brain and becomes a dependence causing anxiety/stress. People addicted to pornography rapidly spiral to more extreme topics due to desensitisation.
It's so bad that a significant proportion of young men, from the age of 12, view and consume pornography every single day for multiple hours on end. I'm not even going to start on sex trafficking or exposure to paedophiles via online platforms, but fictional violence is nowhere close to porn.
If you want to see porn all over the front page of reddit, It'd be much more productive to get some help. >

it is a normal part of life for millions of people who aren't addicted, you would rather see people die, you're aboslutely sick, disgusting >

Not the admins. They have to bend to the advertisers. Same shit happened on YouTube. If they're showing things advertisers don't want to be associated with, the advertisers are going to take their money elsewhere, and the employees working for Reddit will get laid off. >

that's what needs to happen in order for it to change >

Not worth it to the company. It doesn't see the need to change so it won't. >

100 percent.
We live in upside-down world where the evil violence loving people are held up as good and pure, and the good, loving, sexual people are held down as evil and disgusting.
And I am telling you...this is not patriarchy.  Its matriarchy doing this. >

well you're certainly wrong on one thing, normalizing sex work would benefit women >

No.   I am not wrong because you don't even know my stance.
Of COURSE normalizing sex work would benefit women in all MATERIAL ways.
Bad news is most people live in fantasy world, and that is why women especially are against sex work.
Most women are not anywhere near their husband's sex drive.    And they fear that if some other women were taking care of him they would lose control over him.
But they would be better off to have a fair and even relationship based on home life stability rather than sexual dependence.   But that would kill the drama they crave...despite the fact they get plenty out of the damn TV set.
Both men and women are perfectly capable of working hard to undermine their own best interests. >

The only way to not generalize would be to write a book.
This is Reddit sir or maam, not a library.   So give me a bit of slack.
You want more?  Take back your "idiot" accusation and apologize.  Basically you are the one offering evidence of idiocy and you need to disprove it or take it back to get more information.
BTW my wife says "hi". >


talking about women craving drama in a relationship

If you could just keep your nose out of my personal life and explain to me why the TV is chock full of soap operas and why its primarily women who watch them while most men find them utterly repugnant.
Seriously.  Think about it. >

No, management isn't "out of touch" because violence is more socially accepted then nudity.
Basically, the hardcore puritans turn a blind eye to violence but will wage bloody war over a nipple.
Is it BS? yes, doesn't mean it isn't true though. >

you're going to blame this on puritans? you're 100 years too late, it's not them it's advertisers, if they took note, reddit would change >

If you acknowledge that this is driven by the advertisers, why are you calling Reddit management/admins out of touch? >

I honestly don't care if either is on the front page, but to elevate nudity and pornography above death and mutilation on the basis of it being "natural" doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. One could even make a pretty good argument that someone being eaten alive by a grizzly bear is far more natural than someone shoving a silicone fist in their ass. 
There are also a LOT more laws surrounding the dissemination/distribution of pornography than there are around gory images or videos, which makes it a lot harder for advertisers and business owners to get behind. >

I don't know how you can genuinely have this opinion. Is seeing someone fuck silicone really going to traumatize you? I've seen a number of graphic suicides on reddit against my will and it'll stay in my mind for life. >

Well… it only shows what you’re in. If you join mostly NSFW subreddits you’ll see a lot of nudes but if you join stuff like eyeblech then you’ll see mutilated bodies >

He said the front page. That means it doesn't matter what subreddit he's in, you're thinking of the homepage. >

Ah okay. My bad and thanks for the correction >

Np >

Pornography isn’t a natural part of life. It’s usually violent and totally misogynistic. Slippery slope. You sound like a predator/weirdo. >

you are totally blind and see nothing, it has been around since humans have >

You tell them! Onlyfans was all the rage back in the stone age. >

just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's not true >

Define pornography. >

watching sex or nudity >

You have to love seeing the OP out here in the comments insulting everyone who calls them out for being a porn addict who doesn't engage in the real world. I'll add this to my collection of idiotic opinions posted in this subreddit. >

Somebody is a porn addict because they rather see boobs than gore? >

Did you only read the title of the post and literally nothing else OP has written here? >

No I haven't seen people get mutilated on the frontpage. If those are the subreddits you subscribe to, your problem. >

You need to work on how you communicate with people. Nothing you say matters if you are aggressive and dismissive. They will only see the aggression.
You are posting to a sub for unpopular opinions and then belittling people for having other opinions. It makes you seem unintelligent, impulsive and immature. And terminally online. None of those may be true, but that is how you will be perceived behaving like this. 
Take a step back- breathe. You can’t control how people treat you but you can control how you respond. Or carry on and yell into the void- it’s equally as productive as insulting strangers that disagree. You may not change their minds, but don’t let them shape the way your brain processes negativity.
I hope you find peace within yourself stranger, and enjoy the rest of your day. >

HAHAHAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH >

Alright- perhaps you are just immature and terminally online- carry on. It will not effect my day, but it certainly will harm you. Hopefully age will bring some personal growth and perspective. Good luck! >

It’s not the management being out of touch, though. It’s the advertisers who are very much in touch who know exactly what will or won’t harm their image.  
And it really isn’t a problem at all. Why are you getting so upset over such an insignificant inconvenience? >

I agree with your first paragraph. And well for your second point it can be more than an inconvenience. There is some truly nasty stuff on the internet, Reddit no exception. It’s reasonable to be offended or upset by mutilation, gore, death/violence, etc. >

ive been on this site for quite some time now and as far as i can remember i have never seen gore or anything of the likes. you just gotta keep away from some subs and ur good imo. >

porn is not natural part of life, please step out your goon cave. >

Sure but videos of people getting mauled by animals or torn apart my machinery aren’t a natural part of life, either. >

Well people getting mauled by animals is kind of a natural part of life. Kind of thing humans have had to deal with since the caveman.
Machinery too to a lesser extent. Humans have been hurt by machines since tools were first invented. But thats just being pedantic. >

But if videos of those things are natural, then videos of people having sex must be natural too right? >

I wouldn't say videos but depictions of sex have been around since the Paleothic age (Old Stone Age) with cave paintings depict humans with exaggerated sexual characteristics.
Then there is the Ain Sakhri Lovers which is approximately 11,000 years old. Considered to be oldest known representation of two people engaged in sex. Discovered in caves near Bethlehem.
Followed by the Turin Erotic Papyrus, ancient Egyptian papyrus from approximately 3,000 considered first example of pornography, depicting various sexual positions.
So yeah depictions of sex are natural, been a part of human history since the beginning. >

That's just our weird ass culture. Violence is a tool we've used in the media for the sake of propaganda, fear mongering, or military recruitment. Show beheadings of innocent journalists to rally the people, show the aftermath of a fatal car crash to scare kids, show soldiers at war to inspire sign ups... There is a design there. 
Sex, on the other hand, makes it's money by being 'forbidden' and 'shameful' to some degree. If we were more accepting, the powers that be would have to start legitimizing the porn industry and I don't believe the porn industry wants that. They make more money as a 'necessary evil' - Something people pay hand over fist for but don't want to get close enough to address all the illegal shit they pull to bring in more money. 
It's not religion, or faith, or prudishness. It's money. The government does not want to shell out the money that would be needed to legitimize the sex industry and make it safe. The leaders of the porn industry don't want the oversight or for their workers to have a place to turn to when they're abused. >

Money talks. If it’s not stopping money from coming in. They’re not going to do shit about it and that’s the most natural thing about the world lmfao >

I mean, people being brutally killed, especially by other humans, is also a natural part of life. >

Technically severed heads is also a natural part of life. >

What's almost as bad is Yahoo News' front page, which every day has at least one story with accompanying photo of a "nude" celebrity.
Of course, when you check it out, said celebrity is either "nude" behind a huge rock or "nude" underneath a robe. >

Morbid curiosity has a name for a reason. >

To build on that, nudity is bad but every other post being fucking hentai is fine. >

How do you figure that pornography is natural and a part of life? Many parts of the world no longer live in a culture where being nude is the norm, very few cultures don't wear clothing anymore and even then many that do cover their genitals. We now have cultures that value consent when displaying nudity and sexuality. Neither gore nor pornography should be on the homepage for anyone who hasn't subscribed to, and therefore consented to, seeing such content. >

I have tits on my home page. >

I remember when 7-11 had titty magazines right in front of the registers >

What's wrong with mutilation? 🤨 >

In before this actually polarizing opinion gets removed by the wuss mods. I'd suggest post this somewhere like r/trueoffmychest where the mods have some semblance of dignity and won't just shut this post up like little children sticking their fingers in their ears and going "lalalala" because someone is telling them something they don't want to hear. >

Plenty of websites to find nudity on. >

I'm not saying it's good but they're probably actually very in-touch with American culture. >

Goddamn do I hate it when people say "natural part of life"
Shitting is also a natural part of life, yet I never see people fight for the right to shit wherever you please be it in a pedestrian, the bed and whatnot >

The same applies to cable media. You can glorify guns, violence, and war on primetime TV, but if you say "fuck" or show boob you get immediately taken off the air. >

It's not Reddit management, it's society >

it's reddit that allows one and not the other, so you are, in fact, wrong >

Too young to remember network tv, 'ey?
You complaining about Reddit doesn't mean it's Reddit that's the problem... You admit yourself in your op that advertisers will drop them.
It's societal. >

To be fair, people have been killing each other for as long as we’ve existed - nude or clothed. It’s a “natural part of life” too, even if it’s less appealing >

I've used reddit for 6 years and I've never seen any pornography or gore on the front page, maybe its just the subs you are subscribed to >

I'm right here loser >

Because Reddit Mods are sick fucks that can’t get laid, so they don’t wanna be reminded of what they can’t obtain. >

🎶it’s the American waaaaay 🎶 >

Agree that's fucked. It reminds me of the hypocrisy of banning all Nazi subreddits (perfectly reasonable and obvious) but there are several un-ironic communist sub reddits with a full on hammer & sickle logo..... >

Gore is just as natural if not more natural than what you mentioned >

That’s not the point of my comment🤡 >

then you fail to understand a basic conversation >

Wasn’t my intent. Also your comment doesn’t make sense🤡 > >

Lesser to who? Certainly not you >

That's how it's always been in America.  TV censors language and nudity, but allows for violence. >

I’m pretty sure real death and execution videos would immediately be taken down, but if you’re referring to movie or video game violence I honestly wouldn’t put them on the same category as sex and nudity.
I grew up around violent video games and movies, as kids there was play fighting but that was about it, there’s no inherent pleasure derived from inflicting pain on others outside of video games, psychopaths aside people generally feel bad when they cause pain to others.
Sex is different, the act just feels good all around, the longterm consequences are not immediately visible, and if kids through exposure get too comfortable with the idea it’s definitely the sort of “fun” kids might try, so it’s definitely something I would censor with a higher maturity rating. >

they aren't removed, combat footage still makes it to the front page >

I suspect whatever algorithm may be auto removing nudity probably has a harder time distinguishing violence and gore in general, nudity in an image is easier to recognize than violence which is a more abstract concept and gore might be difficult for a bot to distinguish from meat.
Still if reported human mods should remove it fairly quickly just not as quickly as bots. >

it's not an algorithm, it's subreddits not being included in the front page >

Like what? Can you link to the violent gore that made it to the front page?
If it’s anything like youtube they use an algorithm to determine what gets up there. >

Lmao, OP is getting mad at everyone telling him porn isn't natural. >

you honestly think something around since humans have lived isn't natural? You would have to be a simple minded fool to think that >

This is what you wanted when you started deplatforming people by going after advertisers.  Just saying. >

me huh? check again lul >

I'd much rather see bewbs than human suffering 🤷🏼‍♂️ but I guess that's because I'm a perverted creep >

Pornography is not a natural part of life. Not that I'm against it... It is just factually incorrect to say that something that is literally staged and produced by people is a natural part of life. >

wrong, pornography has excited as long as humans have >

Yes... Doesn't make it natural? 
Porn is an art form, not a natural phenomenon. >

it is a natural part of humanity, which I count myself a part of >

Is this in reference to a particular post or something? >

Firsttime? >

This should not be an unpopular take >

Dunno man. 
Something not fun about the first thing in my feed in the morning is an r/amateurroomporn post of a decent sized human peeeeeeen. >

That’s not a Reddit problem. That’s a Mercian problem. >

In what regards ? 
There’s pages for different topics. Pages where you would expect to see nudity have unfettered nudity. 
I understand your OP but can you elaborate? >

They also removed /r/fatpeoplehate for the same reason. Advertisers. Advertisers are who tells Reddit what can and can’t go on the front page. >

No they are very much in touch with what makes money and what doesn't, you may not agree with their choices but don't act like they are stupid because they simply aren't. >

It's not management, it's us. Users will get furious, rant at advertisers, and cancel their subscriptions or whatever over nudity or sexuality. OTOH they won't, or at least many fewer of them will, over violence.
It was the same on TV, where you could have shows starting serial killers to general applause, but a nip slip caused a nationwide public uproar.
It's weird, but that's the truth. It's not the fault of advertisers, they just follow the money and duck controversy. >

It's the USA model, pretend nudity is too sensitive for general audiences, but gore, violence b and death are mainstream. r/publicfreakout is becomi g the new rotten.com >

Yeah people give mods a lot of shit when the admins are far worse. Scourge of the internet >

I agree with the last sentence of your title. Just all around. Compared to what reddit originally was today’s reddit is a mere husk of the greater former self. >

Test >

i find it funny that on the news you can show a lot of gore, talk about gore, and a lot of other things similar to that, but NEVER cuss. that is terrible stuff. >

Booooooooorn in the ….. (well, you get it) >

Yeah, Ive always thought it was weird that you can show the inside of someone but not the outside >

I don't if you're American or not but if you're new here, enjoy your stay. Titties bad, blood and guts A-OK. >

Religion is what it all comes down to.
Who has tried to control sex the most of any organisation evere?
Who has killed more in the name of their organisation?
American culture is built on religion and so capitalism is run by it. >

Have you seen society? This is everywhere. Violence is cool, sex is bad. Tons of people and media and organizations obsess with this. >

Half the advertising is for ball shavers and hentai games anyway. >

Only in puritan countries. Germany shows tities on TV and even advertisements on subways flip at night to show nudity. >

Or references to rape, child sex abuse, violations of human rights. I rarely go to the popular page anymore because I want to browse Reddit to relax, not read about things that make me hate humanity. Like I already know those things exist, I donate to certain causes so I definitely don't think the world is roses but like... I've learned some shit I never wanted to. >

It's banned from the front page because too much of it is just advertisement for Onlyfans or other porn sites.
While nudity may be a natural part of life, pornography is a business. >

Facebook used to be like this, but I've not visited that shithole for a long time >

actually, pornography is "not a natural part of life".  it only seems that way to people who spend most of their day searching for it online >

Natural yeh, but I’d say a normal part of life. Gore is still a natural part of life, just not really common? I mean I agree that the type of censorship is nonsensical I’m just word picking really lol >

but one is banned and one isn't, that's the point >

Yes you’re correct, it’s extremely absurd that they would allow gore on the front page and not nudity. It is quite nonsensical. >

Does Reddit even really have a front page anymore? >

/all >

Is that like popular on the app?  It’s not like the old days anymore >

what >

What do you mean front page? On my porn account there's nothing but nudity on my front page. >

Also misogyny gets downvoted but misandry always gets upvoted.
Sexism is bad regardless of gender >

American style censorship
You are free to watch whatever gore or brutality you wish, but the moment any nudity appears -- conservative mental midgets will screech with all their Karen powers "what about the children!?" >

I guess your opinion is very unpopular since you have so many upvotes. You got mine too.
