  • This might sound weird, but bare with me!

    I save funny stuff, goofy things, and positive content in a folder for my son to browse through, which keeps him from looking for content himself in parts of the internet unknown. He loves it, and I had been able to keep the folder updated with a good amount of new images daily, thanks to R×ddit.

    However, lately that has changed. Posts deemed as “wholesome” and “made me smile” now increasingly have the edge of a dystopian nightmare (“look at this father reuniting with his son who he thought was dead amidst this war-torn country! Awwww! Wholesome!” and “this teacher was surprised when his students gave him something that his paycheck should have been able to adequately provide but he is not actually paid enough to afford it! Awww! Made me smile!”). I’ll find animals doing something “cute”, only to realize that behavior is caused by bad or abusive care.

    Now I struggle to find things that are actually funny or nice without having a sexist edge, a horrifying implication, sexual undertones, or some kind of underlying dark tone.

    I am finding less content here, but the content I am coming across seems to be much more genuine! I’ve actually saved quite a bit more things than I’ve seen on R×ddit within the past year.
