Rules/Guidelines:

Remember - all judgments are left at the moderators discretion. The mod's say is final.

  • NEW: Users now only get 3 strikes against them before bans. This does not apply toward slurs, hate speech and doxxing. Instances will be documented to assure bans are proper.

  • NEW: Users who try and perpetuate the drama by posting in linked threads will be warned, and then banned if they continue.

If the comment you're linking to requires some context, add "?context=x" to the URL, where "x" is the number of parent comments you want displayed. If there are multiple drama threads create a self-post containing the relevant links.

I'm surprised he didn't call out P-I-M-A on "with somehow jeopardy", given how condescending and smug his other comments were.

[–]facebookcreepin 468 points469 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I am pretty sick of hearing about P_I_M_A as if he has contributed something to Reddit. That is not to say I don't appreciate this post, I just don't know where he gets his inflated sense of self and where all the people who shower him with praise and attention spend the other 15 waking hours of the day.

[–][deleted] 327 points328 points ago

He is just another 'reality show' celebrity equivalent here in Reddit. For how much shows like Jersey Shore and Teen Mom get hated on here and how the people that watch them gt ridiculed - it surprises me how much in general stupid novelty accounts and stupid account names get praised and 'celebrated' here.

[–]BritishHobo 207 points208 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Absolutely. Great comment. Seeing how these novelty accounts cleaned out the Reddit Awards is hilarious. Most of them contribute nothing of any worth, they just make stupid comments and have usernames pointing out that they'll be making stupid comments. Or they just have a stupid username. There's no real skill or talent or wit involved - and yet there's hundreds of 'omg it's potato anus man hurr hurr!' comments and everything is upvoted to the fucking sun. Welcome to Reddit, where the game's made up and the points are given to people who make no worthwhile contributions at all.

[–]achingchangchong 34 points35 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's just a username that took like five seconds to make up! There's nothing special about his comments... at all. Am I taking crazy pills?

I'll make an alt named FOREIGN_OBJECT_IN_MY_BODILY_ORIFICE, and I will be the next Reddit "celebrity."

[–]BritishHobo 36 points37 points ago

Forever a child, sadly I still laugh at those jokes, although less than I used to. Back then I was 8, one needed to fart and I would burst out into laughter. Needless to say, it was very awkward to have me around.

I tag them with RES as some derivative of "Worthless "Novelty" Account" or some such, color it maroon, and then hit ignore. So I see that they have posted and gotten a billion upvotes, but I don't have to read the drivel. I fucking hate novelty accounts so bad.

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

He's a pretty new user, but he posts A LOT and has gotten a massive amount of karma in his 3 or 4 months here even though he doesn't leave comments that are different than anyone elses. In the past few whatevers, lets say weeks, everyone has completely dismissed anything he has to say and just points out his username, creaming themselves over it. If you post something popular with a potato involved, the conversation will immediately revolve around him. There's 3 or 4 accounts floating around with almost the exact same username, but his account has such a dedicated fanbase that they usually point out it's a fraud and downvote the person. It's kind of like that forthewolf crap only it's still new and "the thing to do."

No shitting, I've spoken out against this kind of idol worship, got downvoted to hell, and got this response: "You have your beliefs and we have ours now show potato some damn respect!"

In PIMA's defense this kind of shit comes out of it, and it's disgusting.

In everyone elses defense, anything popular will inevitably be imitated and getting upset about it is ridiculous. If PIMA hates the abuse so much he needs to just create a new account and get over it. I wonder how old he is that he's PMing someone imitating his name and trying to get them to stop as kindly as possible before saying "oh no no you misunderstand, you go right ahead and use it!" This is the internet, you gotta go in swinging and threaten them with downvotes! A LOT of downvotes!

[–]DerTauman 40 points41 points ago

No no forthewolfx was good because he asked to be famous and reddit obliged him.

[–]aco620 27 points28 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, I'll give you that forthewolfx had a great origin behind it, but it was something Reddit never got over. It was a funny and nice thing for Reddit to do for a while, but he STILL can't post anywhere without a handful of comments pointing out OMG IT'S FORTHEWOLFX, SIGN MY ABORTED FETUS! He's also said in the past that, just like PIMA, he gets his share of PM hate mail to go along with all the "fans."

[–]AstorSapolsky 8 points9 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

To be fair, if you look at his account a lot of the hype has died down. He posted in the Community Pillow vs. Blanket war and that got a lot of buzz, but people have gotten tired of the novelty of worshipping some random kid.

He even said for awhile he mainly used another account because the followers and PMs got to him. I'm sure he still frequents it.

Heh, it's that kind of shit that makes me think he'll eventually be picked up by cops in LA for running around naked and then having it later cited that the whole episode was caused by "exhaustion". Some people jus' can't handle the extra attention one gets when they suddenly become a celebrity...even if it's jus' a reddit celebrity. lol

[–]aco620 12 points13 points ago

I would love to see the news article on that the next day.

"High school kid found naked in street with potato sticking out of anus

screaming about imposter potatos. Police chief Andrew Smith was

quoted as saying "Yep, just another karma whore. We come across

these kinds of things about once a month. You should've seen the

schizophrenic guy we came across last week. Kept shouting out Bechus,

Probablyhittingonyou, Karmanaut, over and over, and how he'd crush all

the dissenters with downvotes. We usually just spray em with a hose

and send em back home to their moms and dads."

I guess it depends how you define power user, really. I don't think he moderates any subreddits, he just seems to post a fair bit and gets recognized because of his 'loud' username.

^ This is really the problem. The "celebrities" like andrewsmith1986, POTATO_IN_MY_ANUS, and even violentacrez are just people that spend a lot of time on Reddit. Sometimes some personal details about their lives come out and people start painting a picture about them, deciding whether they love or hate them based on 1 or 2 small details, but really they're just random people that like Reddit. The cult worship/demonizing that goes on around these people based solely on their username and maybe a comment they left a year ago is pathetic.

[–]Douchebox 26 points27 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Violentacrez just posts pictures of boobs all day. I don't get why the fuck it's so popular. It's like half of reddit hasn't heard you can just google/go to freeones/fapdu/redtube and find enough porn and pictures to keep you jerkin' for weeks.

[–]aco620 18 points19 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Well he turned into Reddit's boogeyman because he was in charge of one or more of the bait subreddits, I wanna say it was the original jailbait one, and because of a story he told of sleeping with his step daughter. But now he mostly just posts porn and gore stuff, and I typically see him comment in the more Reddit-discussion oriented places like /r/TrueReddit. He seems to get upset at Reddit drama involving him pretty easily, but aside from that, he's a pretty normal guy like anyone else around here.

Having a controversial all-caps name just gets you noticed so you get lots of karma for run-of-the-mill comments. Who cares? If people want to karma whore themselves it's no skin of my nose. That exchange did him no favours though. The other guy is just a dick. No shortage of them.

[–]GetItTogether 30 points31 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Some of his posts are actually very insightful. He doesn't actually overplay his username like a novelty account. He just posts like any other Redditor. He posts in many different subreddits and adds to the conversation. Why does it bug you so much that people like him?

[–]aco620 13 points14 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'll agree with you that I've seen a few pretty well thought out comments by PIMA. He's even said that since his account got popular he's gone out of his way to be a good user on Reddit, posting informative comments. However, this kind of stuff is a headache to wade through. Out of the 300+ comments on there, practically all of them are talking about PIMA, just because there's a potato in the picture that was posted. Now, I know there's not much discussion to be had over a picture of a cat on a potato, but every time this guy gets mentioned now, it completely derails the discussion and ruins the comment section of that post.

Edit: I just realized I copied and pasted the wrong thing without inserting the link.

Well, we're all pretty sure it's just karmanaut reinkarmated, which would explain his ego. He's one of the most upvoted people on reddit of all time, and as soon as the drama gets to be too much, he changes names. The only constant is the writing style and sense of humor. The points may not be worth anything or mean anything outside of reddit, but if you give one person too many of them, well, look what can happen.

Wow, that's a little messed up. Guess this guy isn't nearly as nice in private conversations as he is in his public comments. It's obvious someone is just trying to troll him and he really lets it get to him.

It's fake. His username is _POTATO_IN_MY_ANUS and that screencap is to/from POTATO_IN_MY_ANUS. No underscore before the name. Someone very bored made a fake account impersonating him being impersonated.... blah, blah, and so on.

It looks to me like the guy is talking to himself. All of the "celebrity" redditors have tens of accounts they manage. He's probably also drunkendonuts and half the people on this thread. They're all self-obsessed.

jackfirecracker was almost a pariah due to him going into every Mojang tweet thread and saying a catchphrase. Now he does minecraft mods at the request of other redditors, which made the public forget about his past ways.

[–]boisson 66 points67 points ago

Have you noticed the recent influx of wannabe all-caps accounts flooding Ask-Reddit thread comments lately? Some of the accounts don't even contribute much to the discussion, just pop themselves into a thread, throw in one or two lame jokes waiting for someone to notice their username and then surf on out on their newly-found comment karma.

It's depressing, watching actually witty, informative or helpful posts in threads being shunted onto the bottom by poop-jokes written just to elicit a cheap laugh and refrain from being funny after the initial two or so seconds of reading them.

[–]fassy 11 points12 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, you basically summed it up. I actually spend more time on 4chan at the moment because of it. To think.

Askreddit is one of the big subreddits I haven't unsubscribed from because it can be interesting and funny, hopefully everyone will get tired of them soon. Usually I just downvote and tag them as cunt.

[–]Magnets 2 points3 points ago

These novelty accounts are effectively in-jokes and memes rolled into comment form. That's why they are so popular.

[–]IkLms 1 point2 points ago

The worst ones are people who will come in and say something massively stupid with the username to the effect of "Posts_dumb_comments" and they will get massive upvotes, as will the person who first replies to their comment with "Lol username relevant!!! You had me going there!"

Man, that's so transparently condescending. There's not necessarily anything innately un-clever about being condescending, but that particular condescension is so stupid, uncreative, obvious, blunt. There's no insight or sharpness or even anything to value at all. Just ego and the artless defense of it.

I'd understand this sort of hatred if I thought PIMA was just a novelty account. But a name is just a name. A large amount of time, the things he posted were relevant and interesting in context to the thread. I can sympathise with him in the sense that he foresees himself as having a reputation to uphold. Having an immitator would not only be annoying but damaging if he posted things the original didn't neccessarily agree with.

I'm starting to notice a trend here, though. Like andrewsmith1986 before him, Reddit creates this celebrity image. The famous ones don't start at a higher platform or anything. We as a community build them up to knock them down. But nothings going to change, I'll just sit and wait for people to turn on "WorstAnswerPossible".

Seems to me like half the people on here haven't read PIMA's posts in AskReddit. This isn't a novelty account, or at least it didn't start out as one. He answers questions and is funny. The user name is what gets him attention but he never really played up to it until recently. Even now though I still find 99% of his posts amusing and contributed towards reddit.
