The /r/teenagers jannie team banned off-topic memes.

This made zoomers RISE UP.

This is a shit rule and you know it. Memes can’t be about fucking video games? Are you out of your mind? That’s like saying you can’t talk about food because not everyone eats. It’s bullshit. Just because some people don’t talk about something shouldn’t mean that no one can. This is bullshit [...] I highly suggest you take a good, hard think about this rule. The negative backlash in the comments of this post should be enough.

This is horrible. This sub feels like a fucking school now. Not every discussion needs to be meaningful. Ever heard of a casual conversation? If other teenagers can’t relate, then they should go to a different post. It’s not the OP’s fucking problem. This is actually retarded. I don’t think I’ve ever seen more retarded rules before. What if someone posts about how they’re depressed but since not all teens are depressed they can’t relate to it. It’s fucking ridiculous. Nice job, you ruined the sub even more.

People like you are what's wrong with the world. Primitive barbarians masquerading as intelligent, civilized human beings, thinking their primitive grunts are profound pursuits of philosophy. You, my sweet summer child, are little more than an undereducated, shit throwing gibbon. A lesser ape of infantile intellect and even less adept at the English language than a toddler's dungheap. You are the reason I sit and weep for the human species, because edgy neckbeards with too much time on their hands look down upon their betters with contempt while showing little interest in self reflection and betterment. You, my intellectually impoverished knuckle dragging troglodyte, prove to the whole world that one can have a vacant mind and still have the ability to access the internet and fill it with their pseudo intellectual drivel. The problem with making the internet user friendly, allowing those bankrupt of mind to propagate what passes for 'intellectual discourse' with the same velocity as his betters, much to the detriment of those with the misfortune to read their refuse.

I think r/reenagers is literally anything we teenagers make out if it. It can be about memes, videogames, current events, crushes, and so much more. I joined this sub not only because im a teenager, but because you never know what you're going to get. One post can be about minecraft or communism and then the post below it can be about stress with parents. Posts here can make tou laugh, cry, and think. I love this sub because of the randomness. The randomness mirrors all of our lives and personalities and THATS what makes it special. If we get rid of this randomness that makes us, well, US, then thats not r/teenagers.

It's very clear the members of the subreddit aren't happy with the new decision, perhaps you should stop being whiny about the response and instead channel that into future decisions, or better yet, step down considering you're all clearly unfit to moderate this subreddit based on your inability to handle criticism, hate, pushback, as well as an inability to both listen to and communicate with the subreddit. This is the same level of tonedeaf as boomers complaining about millenials and gen x'ers "killing the housing industry".

Zoomers elect new head jannie (with no actual power lol), resolve to follow his commandments.

To all the teenagers and the people supporting me to become the head mod, we have won... Sort of

You see, the people who support the mods after all the crap they did is, of course, a minority. So, they can’t report all of us. We simply just make our own rules

Let me introduce Pre Rule

Pre Rule is where we will not follow the Subs crappy rules. We will make our own rules.

People will v0te (I can’t spell the word correctly because this post was removed 3 times for begging for upvotes. Which it didn’t do. It was removed from an auto bot. So, I think it removed it cause I kept saying vote)

They will v0te for the mods for Pre Rule, which will be called Pre Mods (Or PM’s)

They will v0te for what Pre Rules we have

We will not listen to the stupid rules that hey have. We will listen to the actual good ones they have

We will ****post all we want

This is a Democratic Republic now. Pre Rule rules now. Get used to it mods. Pre Mods Rule.

u/PillowManExtreme created a great post trying to figure out a solution to the current issues the subreddit is facing. It's being downvoted by protesting users but I think it's really worth reading.

lol.

Yea I'd agree with that definition. It's just when I see mass shooters using memes in their manifestos and read articles about Russian use of memes in digital warfare I feel like I've stepped through the looking glass. [...]

It really does open young people up to insidious propaganda. "Its just a stupid/edgy joke" sounds fine, but when it's propaganda actually being decemunated as a meme, as a repeating message over and over again, it eventually stops being a joke. You can only jokingly/ironicly say "I hate ____ people" or "____ should die" so many times before it STOPS being a joke whether you realize or not. And throw in some good old teenage peer pressure and things can get out of control so damn fast.

[...] I'm a little surprised to see the word "gay" still being used to critique something negatively. That was massively popular when I was a teen 20 years ago. I'm surprised another word hasn't replaced it. Or has it come full circle, already? I feel so old.

it went through a phase of people condemning it, but then with the rise of gamergate and ironic memes, people started to use it again, and its developed to the point its used un ironically again
