Beatingwomen
On 9 June 2014, a subreddit called r/beatingwomen was closed by Reddit. The community, which featured graphic depictions of violence against women, was banned after its moderators were found to be sharing users' personal information online, and collaborating to protect one another from sitewide bans. Following the ban, the community's founder rebooted the subreddit under the name r/beatingwomen2 in an attempt to circumvent the ban.

Incels

A subreddit founded for "involuntary celibates", r/incels, was a forum wherein members discussed their lack of romantic success.[56] The definition of an incel on the subreddit was someone who has unintentionally gone at least six months without a romantic partner and is at least 21 years old; self-described incels are largely heterosexual men.[57] Many members adhered to the "black pill" ideology,[58][59][60] which espoused despondency often coupled with misogynistic views that condoned, downplayed, or advocated rape, while referring to women as "femoids" and "sluts".[57] Notable black pill posts included "reasons why women are the embodiment of evil" and "proof that girls are nothing but trash that use men".[61][62] Users deemed too female-friendly, or who claimed that women experienced inceldom to the same extent as men, were banned.[62] The subreddit's users intermittently either revered or hated "normies" and "Chads" for their courtship abilities, with some admiring murderers such as Elliot Rodger, perpetrator of the 2014 Isla Vista killings, who identified as an "incel".[63][64][65]

In the summer of 2017, a petition on Change.org called for r/incels to be banned for inciting violence against women.[66] Following the October implementation of a new Reddit policy that prohibited the incitement of violence, the subreddit was banned on 7 November 2017.[67] At the time of its banning, r/incels had around 40,000 subscribers.[61]

r/Braincels subsequently became the most popular subreddit for incels, gaining 16,900 followers by April 2018. The subreddit's leaders disavowed the Toronto van attack and deleted some posts by members who praised Alek Minassian's alleged actions.[68] In September 2018, the subreddit, along with another manosphere subreddit, r/TheRedPill, was quarantined not banned, but marked as controversial and subject to certain restrictions. Quarantine evasion subreddits such as r/Mindcels and r/Intellectualcels were banned.

Shoplifting

The subreddit r/Shoplifting was devoted to stories, tips, and questions for the purpose of shoplifting at large commercial retail chains. It dissuaded people from shoplifting from smaller stores which were presumed to suffer greater losses from theft. It also heavily featured pictures displaying items that its users had supposedly "lifted".[84] Near the end of its existence, over 77,000 people were subscribed to the subreddit. [85] It was banned on 21 March 2018 due to violating an amendment to the Reddit User Agreement added that same day which states: "Users may not use Reddit to solicit or facilitate any transaction or gift involving certain goods and services, including: ... Stolen goods"

TheRedPill

r/TheRedPill is a misogynistic subreddit which promotes male supremacy. It was profiled by the Southern Poverty Law Center.[148] It has been associated with several right-wing movements and the alt-right because of its attacks on feminism and mockery of rape.

It was discovered that a New Hampshire legislator created the subreddit and posted demeaning comments about women. After this discovery, he resigned from office.[150] The New Statesman has described this subreddit as one of the most misogynistic subreddits on Reddit, which aims to radicalize men.[151] Currently, the subreddit is quarantined

While this gimmick isn't as bad as your NEETposting, it's still shit. Get some help.

No mention of r/smellmydogsbutt?

I don't really like reddit too much but I didn't see any photos like that dead girl or that kitten.

Dude you realize 4chan exists and 8chan used to exist, right?

4chan is mainly catpics and dumb memes.

The worst one was jailbait but you left it off the list for whatever reason.

Its the internet, Reddit provides the platform, its the users that are fucked up.

Literally every social media platform has this kind of stuff. ISIS and KKK recruit on twitter. You don't think there are private facebook groups that do the exact same thing? TC is naive as fuck.

Hard to beat WatchPeopleDie when it comes to absolutely worst.

/r/shoplifting was horrible and a mystery how it was allowed to stay up more than a few days
---

/r/incels shouldn't be there. The community at first wasn't about hating women or wishing violence on normies. It was just a place for incels to vent , seek help, and maybe even find happiness/acceptance in being single.

Reddit has some fucked up stuff on it, but there are FAR worse places both on the Internet and on the planet.
