[–]root88 34 points35 points ago

I have the same problem with really bad pun comments.

[–]VanFailin 7 points8 points ago

I love puns, but one in a row is sufficient.

[–]Static_Line_Bait 12 points13 points ago

After that, it's just punishment.

[–]ianmgull 3 points4 points ago

I'm with you my anti-pun brother.

[–]godlesspinko -4 points-3 points ago

Do you find them catastrophic?

[–]Tyrannosharkus 1 point2 points ago

They apparently weren't kidding.

[–]godlesspinko -1 points0 points ago

You ain't lion. They weren't kitten at all.

[–]plancks_constant -5 points-4 points ago

Something like...

puts on sunglasses

JUST DESSERTS

[–]GlfMan 259 points260 points ago

Keep trying. We can do this if we work together.

[–]come_and_take_it_TX 6 points7 points ago

If we upvote PSAs about spaying/neutering pets maybe there wouldn't be so many "this little bastard followed me home today" posts. Where is Bob Barker when you need him??

[–]need_my_amphetamines 134 points135 points ago

I'm with you on this. Pictures of cats do not belong on the front page! (...except maybe in /r/aww, which I do not subscribe to)

[–]cp5184 12 points13 points ago

This is a thread about cats on the front page.

[–]Throwawaychica 62 points63 points ago

I agree with both of you soso much!!

Down with cats, down with cats, down with cats!!

[–]slutgarden 1 point2 points ago

Yep, keep the "funny" "cute" cats in aww. I unsubscribed from there before I did from WTF. I am thinking about removing AdviceAnimals soon. I have a feeling it is ruining my proper reddit experience

[–]Darth_Hobbes -1 points0 points ago

I've used RES to filter out 42 subreddits so far, including this one. I still see posts from the front page, but /r/all has never been better.

[–]Throwawaychica -5 points-4 points ago

I love /r/WTF but honestly I love /r/Gore more, I'm sick and twisted, yes I know.

[–]Shaaman 4 points5 points ago

You're sooo dark

[–]Crash_Test_Dummy66 1 point2 points ago

And mysterious!!! Don't forget mysterious!!

[–]edgar_jomfru -3 points-2 points ago

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say This x50 if we're talking about OAG.

[–]Audiovore 3 points4 points ago

As long as it stays in AA, then I'm okay with it.

[–]UsernameNotFound404 -5 points-4 points ago

Ducks too! Fuck a duck!

[–]E_Words 12 points13 points ago

Woah there guy, dont say something you can't take back.

[–]Jrwech 1 point2 points ago

I am so excited, I finally have found others like me. My imaginary internet points have really suffered over the last few weeks due to my bitching about this. Big thanks to everyone here.

[–]teknoire7 5 points6 points ago

It is the sole reason I created an account, to unsubscribe.

[–]bladderbunch 3 points4 points ago

And the only reason I subscribed was to downvote every cat. I still subscribe to aww, because it still feels good to bluearrow cats.

[–]FatesReverend 1 point2 points ago

Truth

[–]Always_Upvotes_Cats 0 points1 point ago

I respectfully disagree.

[–]ryandg 3 points4 points ago

At least we know now that we are not alone.

[–]ibitestringcheese 5 points6 points ago

Any chance we can couple the FB downvotes with the cats too? FB posts are almost as out of control as cats.

[–]GlfMan 2 points3 points ago

Great point. How many times can bad English and love quotes from 13 y/o's be funny.

[–]WafflesHansen 0 points1 point ago

Maybe once a week each.

[–]Shaaman 6 points7 points ago

We should create a brigade, or a gang.

[–]a20something 1 point2 points ago

I'm with ya brother!

[–]awesome-o-4000 -2 points-1 points ago

I thought I was I only one to instantly down vote anything to do with cats

[–]Sir_WigglesWorth -1 points0 points ago

Nope

[–]grawxpert 9 points10 points ago

I thought I was alone

[–]NightOwl58 54 points55 points ago

I love cats and I will help you. I unsubscribed from /r/aww for a reason. Keep them out of /r/pics god damnit.

[–]TheHerpfulDerp 4 points5 points ago

I hate cats, there I said it.

[–]Diginovae 20 points21 points ago

I still try. I downvote all generic shitty pet posts. I don't care how cute you think your cat is, or how derpy your dog is. Fuck sake. At least have some substance

[–]plancks_constant 4 points5 points ago

At least it's not kids

EDIT: oh wait...

[–]Jrwech 0 points1 point ago

The thought of unsubscribing to /r/funny had crossed my mind a few times recently. So glad to see the popularity of this thread.

[–]rustrelic 93 points94 points ago

[–]MookieB307 17 points18 points ago

[–]flamuchz 14 points15 points ago

Sweet baby Jesus!

[–]Kazooman 3 points4 points ago

So brave

[–]MyNameIsBro 5 points6 points ago

Bio terrorist cats with their allergens.

[–]anarchyz 4 points5 points ago

I have always downvoted ALL cat pic posts in r/pics. Keep them in r/aww.

I also upvoted ALL cat hater posts in this thread.

Welcome to the cause.

[–]angrye 22 points23 points ago

How "Reddit Spring" started.

[–]Claytonius_Homeytron 3 points4 points ago

But we must press on!

[–]MattTheIdiotBoy 5 points6 points ago

Keep fighting the good fight, sir. Keep fighting that good fight. We're all in this shit-storm together. Don't you dare give up on us.

[–]badfan 4 points5 points ago

Only together can we hope to keep cats off the front page. I propose an alliance!

[–]rolltide76 4 points5 points ago

there should be a tag similar to "NSFW" for goddamn cat pictures

[–]PsychMinded 2 points3 points ago

Fuck pictures of cats! What the hell kind of internet is this?!

[–]exasperated 3 points4 points ago

Get rid of karma altogether, that way you get rid of the attention whores. People that post good content dont do it for imaginary points. And the whores will leave if they are not rewarededby other assholes.

[–]asimovfan1 31 points32 points ago

Keep it up. I'm in there with you.

[–]freemilly 4 points5 points ago

[–]rrearleii 4 points5 points ago

I vote down every cat I see, because none of them are mine or funny. Keep fighting the good fight.

[–]Shaaman 22 points23 points ago

I know what you feel, bro...

[–]le_fapion 9 points10 points ago

You are not alone!

[–]Baned0n 11 points12 points ago

This image also works with the caption:

"Trying to downvote Pokemon"

[–]iwilllurkreddit 10 points11 points ago

I... I thought I was the only one... (sniff)

[–]Primitive_ 4 points5 points ago

Thank God I'm not alone! Automatic downvote for pokemon anything.

[–]PostSincerity 6 points7 points ago

Yep, I was a little old for the Pokémon craze and make a point of downvoting every Squirtle, Blastoise, Googyboo, Frankadank, and Chempem I see. It makes no difference. (Except for me accidentally learning the names of some of the damn things.)

[–]skytro 2 points3 points ago

Hell I love pokemon and hate that circlejerk

[–]sopimusician 0 points1 point ago

Well, you don't have to look at every post that hits the front page. The titles are there for a reason.

[–]Ghurk 7 points8 points ago

It's funny because the post below this one on the front page was a cat.

[–]I_hate_pugs 5 points6 points ago

I feel the same way about pugs and other small useless breeds of dogs

[–]Lellux 1 point2 points ago

I don't believe you, I_hate_pugs.

But it is a man rule: you must own a dog larger than a toaster.

[–]I_hate_pugs 0 points1 point ago

What do you not believe?

[–]MattTheIdiotBoy 1 point2 points ago

As the owner of a large 'working' breed dog, I couldn't agree more. If it's smaller than a cat, STOP CALLING IT A FUCKING DOG!

[–]kampfkartoffel 7 points8 points ago

I pledge to downvote all cat posts.

[–]goatbeastman007 3 points4 points ago

I pledge my fealty to your cause. Let the Reddit civil war begin.

[–]Mholafico 4 points5 points ago

You are not alone in this task

[–]bettorworse 3 points4 points ago

You have to downvote them in "New", so they never get to the front page. It's hopeless once they get to the front page!!

[–]Sianz63 3 points4 points ago

Nevertheless, I will join your worthy cause

[–]shniglefritz 7 points8 points ago

I'm with you, also facebook posts

[–]Vortex60 3 points4 points ago

I'm with you on that. I don't even read them anymore. If I see a Facebook post I downvote that shit.

[–]somefuzzypants 9 points10 points ago

im with you man. I can't compete with all the cat posts

[–]shafafa 4 points5 points ago

So happy to see I'm not the only who feels this way!

[–]CharlesBBarkin 5 points6 points ago

And all this time...I...I thought I was alone.

[–]SocialNeanderthal 6 points7 points ago

we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.

[–]iwilllurkreddit 4 points5 points ago

Mother of god... there's so many cat haters! Thank goodness!

[–]reagan32 6 points7 points ago

I support this effort.

[–]shinthemighty 4 points5 points ago

I downvote everything cat, dog, or pet related on general principle.

[–]lemeraw 13 points14 points ago

And I thought I was alone!!

[–]HungarianFever 10 points11 points ago

I'm with you.

[–]aakaakaak 10 points11 points ago

I'm with you. Whenever they pop up on /r/all from r/aww.

[–]Iammyselfnow 1 point2 points ago

you can unsubscribe from that you know....

[–]Zanyruki 4 points5 points ago

r/all doesn't take into account what subreddits are subscribed/unsubscribed

[–]aakaakaak 2 points3 points ago

Thank you.

[–]Audiovore 2 points3 points ago

RES, and you can filter that shit. No aww, starcraft, circlejerk, etc..

[–]yourpenisinmyhand 3 points4 points ago

Also trying to downvote "I found a cheeto that kind of looks like a panda" posted to /r/wtf

[–]be_cool_honeybunny 0 points1 point ago

same goes for conservatives trying to make a dent in lib posts.

[–]Thedirtybubble123 0 points1 point ago

... Or liberals

[–]BigWigggly 2 points3 points ago

You sir, a national hero of reddit.

[–]Brockleee 2 points3 points ago

Stick to the cause, brother. I'm right there with you.

[–]Zer_ 0 points1 point ago

Why would you downvote cats just for being cats? I get downvoting comments that are troll comments or outright wrong, but this? It seems petty.

[–]Downvotes_Cat_Pics 2 points3 points ago

I know that feel, bro.

[–]robbyiballs 2 points3 points ago

I hate cats.

[–]Downvote_All_Cats 2 points3 points ago

I know the feeling...

[–]Loiathal 7 points8 points ago

Like stopping an asteroid by throwing spitwads at it....

[–]Patrico-8 8 points9 points ago

What we need to do is fly a space shuttle filled with Bruce Willis and a bunch of blue collar oil rig employees up to drill a hole in the cat posts drop explosives in and fly away. Unfortunately Bruce Willis will die, and Aerosmith will sing, but it will be worth it, because we saved Reddit for Liv Tyler...

[–]Patrico-8 3 points4 points ago

Oh and Paris gets fucked.

[–]CoolCat90 2 points3 points ago

Hilton? I'd fuck her too.

[–]clybill 4 points5 points ago

I support your cause. Two hoses are better than one

[–]snows4 4 points5 points ago

Since this is gaining traction here, I'll try to resurect the idea: downvote cats day

[–]subbbb 4 points5 points ago

THIS! So much this! I'm signing in for battle!

[–]recentlydiscovered 3 points4 points ago

I'm sure this will get buried, but OP, if you see this, know that I am with you.

[–]GophaKyorselv 3 points4 points ago

Before anybody else is bored enough to check: Neither the Upvote Color #FF8B60 nor the downvote color #9494FF appear in the photo. I was honestly hoping the arrows were hidden in there.

[–]DownvotedYourCat 4 points5 points ago

Fight the good fight!!!

[–]DodgeKramer 5 points6 points ago

We must rededicate ourselves daily to the task. If we waiver, all is lost.

[–]go-rot-in-a-sewer 5 points6 points ago

how about creating a subredit just for cats.... the shit is annoying.

[–]I_d0wnv0te_cats 4 points5 points ago

I'm right there with you.

[–]saintheels 5 points6 points ago

You are not alone.

[–]I__Downvote__Cats 6 points7 points ago

Keep up the good fight brother.

[–]Qumulus 4 points5 points ago

I will join the cause.

[–]eLeKicK 2 points3 points ago

There's already more dogs on frontpage.

[–]ThatLinaPlayer 0 points1 point ago

You don't get it, the circlejerk states that all Redditors like cats. We must stay brave and ignore all the retarded dog posts all over this site. Because DOGS RULE.

[–]Intrigued_man 3 points4 points ago

I am with you!

[–]Level60_Levio 3 points4 points ago

This is definitely the most pressing issue of our time.

[–]bluhblehbloo 4 points5 points ago

I upvoted everything in this thread

[–]Brockleee 0 points1 point ago

I'm in the process of doing the same.

[–]greenxxghostie 1 point2 points ago

Cats are a thousand times better to have on the front page then babies. I personally can't stand having the front page cluttered with proud parent's kids doing something dumb that every other baby does at some point during their childhood. And if I see their fugly kids on r/aww i get even more pissed. Nobody wants to see your kids, post that shit to a subreddit that specializes in baby pics and BRING ON MORE FUCKING CATS!!!

[–]badfan 4 points5 points ago

Upvoted every anti-cat comment. It comforts me to know that I am not alone in my anti-cat feelings.

[–]meancommentredditor 5 points6 points ago

I tried downvoting all the cats, unsubscribe to /aww

[–]me_me_me_me_me_ 2 points3 points ago

I think he has the fire hose hooked up to the blinker fluid reservoir.

[–]muzeec 3 points4 points ago

I feel the same way but except for cats i downvote human babies.

[–]Claytonius_Homeytron 3 points4 points ago

I do both, does that make me a bad person?

[–]llamamymama 3 points4 points ago

I really think there should be an r/cats for all cat pics. That might exist already but if it does, let's start using it for everything cat related.

[–]Fun1k 2 points3 points ago

I'd downvote dogs.

[–]50feetfromhome 0 points1 point ago

Cats are the internet's spirit animal.

[–]Paintballer6960 0 points1 point ago

[–]nstomper 1 point2 points ago

Some sickos in there. People being excited over cat deaths or wishing death upon them.

[–]ItinerantDegenerate -2 points-1 points ago

So many orphan upvotes now have a home

[–]Pit_of_Death 1 point2 points ago

The key is for us cat-haters to jump on all the cat posts that arrive on /r/new as soon as they're posted and downvote them into oblivion!

[–]htravic17x 1 point2 points ago

Its like trying to wrangle cats...oh wait

[–]ryko25 1 point2 points ago

maybe change the caption to "trying to make meme/slogan pics funny"

[–]soanix 1 point2 points ago

How I feel when down voting everything from /r/Awww that shows in the front page.

[–]suttbutt 1 point2 points ago

I know the guy in this picture. He works for my fire department.

[–]killcats 1 point2 points ago

I feel your pain.

[–]nofear1324 1 point2 points ago

I can not upvote this enough

[–]iwantmoreovaltine 1 point2 points ago

stay strong

[–]Other_wise_ 0 points1 point ago

Ironically, at the time I read this post, it was surrounded by no less than 5 cat based posts.

[–]nickp320 0 points1 point ago

very simple. all of the redditors who have commented on this, go to their user page and see what they have downvoted, and subsequently downvote every cat they have.

together, we can rid the internet of cats.

[–]ME_LUV_U_LONG_TYM 0 points1 point ago

You downvote cats?! Get this guy off of reddit!

[–]Sir_Meowsalot 0 points1 point ago

Resistance is futile, meow.

[–]TheLittleLebowski 1 point2 points ago

Keep fighting! I fucking hate cats.

[–]onetwozerothree 0 points1 point ago

Keep fighting the good fight, others are there fighting at your side.

Also get RES and put cat as a title filter word, has made reddit so much better since I did that.

[–]adameister 0 points1 point ago

You are not alone

[–]Smilfink -1 points0 points ago

Not very easy to keep those fuck ugly dogs of the front page either

[–]hugocrepax 2 points3 points ago

I try and explain Reddit as a place for great political dialogue, advice, no holds barred interviews and a wonderful system of voting so that relevant information is pushed to the top. Instead, half of the front page is pet pictures. Men who post cat pictures should feel bad.

[–]lzpj 1 point2 points ago

Don't waste your time with futile efforts. Think positively. When you see a cat post, move on the the next post. These posts are not the ones you are looking for.

[–]rraaqqss -1 points0 points ago

LONG LIVE THE CATS!

[–]dariushro 0 points1 point ago

Same with the fucking dogs :(

[–]nightrhyme 0 points1 point ago

ohh man this really made me laugh. Thanx for that. up

[–]Escaldi 1 point2 points ago

And here I was thinking I was a bad person for down voting everything with cats. I feel like I've stumbled upon a cat-hating brotherhood.

[–]REEDnSTUFF -1 points0 points ago

I think we've gotten to that point where there are more posts complaining about cats than there are actually posts of cats.

[–]LordHumbleTheGreat 1 point2 points ago

I'm with you, brother.

[–]gimmeyourburrito -1 points0 points ago

Why would anyone ever downvote cats...

wai would you downvote cats? :'(

[–]HohnerMeister -5 points-4 points ago

Your efforts are indeed mew-tile!

[–]JakalDX 0 points1 point ago

Trying to eliminate cats is kind of like trying to have an effect in politics.

You won't change anything because everyone else is fine with the way it is.

Not as futile a task as downvoting Star Wars related references.

[–]midtowngroove 1 point2 points ago

I just unsubscribed and filtered all post from /r/aww..... I hardly ever see cats in my feed anymore.

[–]Egress99 0 points1 point ago

I do that with all Pokemon posts...fuck a Pokemon.
