Hello, SE++ peoples. I haven't posted here in a good while, but I stumbled across this today and I felt to need to spread it as far as possible. I know you guys are an intelligent and level-headed group. What I'm asking is you read the following and spread it as much as possible. Post it on Facebook, link to it on Twitter, print out copies and post it on telephone poles, etc. I realize this may in fact be like a child throwing ice cubes at the sun, but the more attention this disgusting shit gets the more likely it is to be shut down.

Be warned, the links included are pure nightmare fuel. They are included as concrete proof for anyone who may scoff. Click them at your own peril. This shit makes Pozzing look like a day at a waterpark. One of the links is edited due to the rules of the site, but I'm sure you can figure out exactly what it was.

Here we go:


tl;dr Reddit closes r/jailbait, a bunch of worse shit pops up in it's place.

Thank you for reading and spreading if you are able to.

    If only reddit had administrators that could crack down on this....

    Also literally nobody should click any of the links in that post, holy shit

    I'm with fand on this one. I was surprised the first time I saw some of those subreddits but then I remembered oh yeah the internet.

    I do wish you the best!

    The thing about it is the Reddit admins know it's going on and are actively ignoring it, and declaring it's ok under "Free Speech." /jailbait got shut down due to child pornography trading so it's not like it can't happen.

    Obviously reddit isn't going to be shut down. But asking the admins to have a little goddamn decency and try and shut this shit down isn't that much to ask.

    Reddit's admins have basically said they will allow whatever as long as you don't post personal information about people, so unless that changes none of this is likely to go away. Violentacrez is basically just a troll (pretty sure he created a "picsofdeadkids" subreddit too but that's not something I really feel like looking into too deeply).

    The whole point is to change that!

    Also Violentacrez is prrrrrrrobably not a troll

    Generally when I think of ways to troll, "telling people I ate out the step-daughter that I helped raise but it's totes alright she was 19 when it happened" is not on the list

    Neither is maintaining countless subreddits devoted to posting pictures of teenagers for people to jerk off to

    This doesn't have the stench of a forum raid post to me. I think it's a more genuine "tell people you know who like reddit that they are probably indirectly supporting some terrible shit" kind of thing. I sort of appreciate knowing, although I have never been a reddit user.

    Well aware sir. Not asking for people to step foot in that shithole and start railing against the kidtouchers on their turf. Just asking people to spread the info if they feel so inclined.

    It's not a raid

    It's raising awareness of some really horrible shit that's happening on a really big website

    Nobody's asking you to go running into reddit screaming at pedophiles

    But if one person passes this along to law enforcement or a news outlet or just posts it on twitter, then it's working

    Also this has nothing to do with a rivalry, what the fuck

    Yeah more media attention would probably do a lot to help, it was an Anderson Cooper story that led to the initial jailbait one going down I believe.
