nosleep got so bad the past few years :marseysulk:

got ready to catch up on a few years of nosleep, sorted by top, literally none of these are scary, nor are they even well written. i stopped reading them in probably 2016-2017 when all the hottest stories started boiling down to "bigotry was the real monster all along" "big bad evil guy does a heckin wholesome" or just weird, impotent revenge fantasies you can tell are written about the author's bully

the top post of the last few years is https://old.reddit.com/r/nosleep/comments/wqnymn which is just a stupid shallow reddit bait about a cheater but even sillier than usual :marseytabletired2: main character's wife when her husband gets drunk and chips part of his brain out in front of her :marseyclueless:

are there any the past few years that don't suck butt? i used to stay up all night scared shitless over these, the bar is low, i can't believe nosleep has somehow gotten so bad they can't even scare me

I was considering writing a science fiction story about a bad future where the Church of the Inverted Peepee was convincing young men to mutilate their peepees, and then claim I found it in an old pulp magazine. I wanted to do eerie parallels of the future. Ones that almost but not quite match reality. Like the Soviet Union collapsing into a civil war in 1995, a Suicide bomber causing the collapse of one of the Twin Towers, and the biggest Disney film of the year being an adaption of Hans Christian Anderson’s Steadfast Tin Soldier done with computer animation.

And then end it with "Kitty history - exactly like ours!"

The top post on HFY is a series that devolves into a cruel politician who is so psychotic and out of touch that she riles up a crowd of angry, useful idiots to riot and storm an completely innocent planet's embassy when they have only ever tried to be kind

I'm not saying you can get away with it but it would be funny to see their excuse for why it's a bad story or worthy of removal when no one else tries to hide their politics lol
