I went through six pages and I don't understand your reaction

[–]mreliotrosewater 6 points7 points ago

Seriously. It was just overwrought post titles and shitty goth album covers. I'm so scared. WE HAVE REAL DEAD PEOPLE ON THIS SUB.

[–]Noobtard_McCancerfag 2 points3 points ago

Yawn Absolutely agree about the gothkid posts. Supernatural 'horror' does nothing for me since I was a little kid. To be fair though, neither do real dead people. If you want me to be scared, try a homeless crackhead with a knife waiting in the subway I just entered. If you want me to be repelled by something online then the only thing I hate to see is people or animals in pain.

[–]mreliotrosewater 1 point2 points ago

I agree completely.

[–]CrunchBang 7 points8 points ago

For the lazy /r/FearMe

Edit Take away the theme, it's pretty average compared to some of the more gory posts in WTF.

[–]Yatagasaru 3 points4 points ago

Well that was the most fucked up 5 minutes of my life.

[–]tojal 1 point2 points ago

Oooh nice, another /r/creepy, except it's not yet overrun with people who get nightmares from "Scream"

[–]kittygoat 4 points5 points ago

oh good. right before bed.

[–]ninjaman27 2 points3 points ago

is it like a satanist subreddit?

[–]VincetheMadMan 2 points3 points ago

Thank you sir. I have found myself among them. But they are light weights.

[–]alaskaaa 5 points6 points ago

[–]nexusaspect 1 point2 points ago

Is it wrong of me to like it?

[–]NoCommentNoKarma 1 point2 points ago

awesome AKIRA reference!

[–]ImpressionVER615 1 point2 points ago

i think r/fearme is poetic and beautiful. It resembles that you should fear something, and the captions are morbid-ly beautiful. but its still creepy >.<

[–]Fisionate 1 point2 points ago

well. That effectively ruined my day.

[–]cmonpplrly 2 points3 points ago

had to check it out...i guess i dont need sleep anyway...

[–]mypantsareonmyhead 1 point2 points ago

Yet another sub I had no idea even existed. And now I wish I didn't know it existed.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Yeah, I was able to get through 2 pics. Are these pics real or PhotoShop?

Also, never go on Spacedicks or NSFL either. I want to, but could not take that torture.

[–]CDi-Fails 0 points1 point ago

Most of them are photoshopped. A great way to see if something is photoshopped or not is to look closely and see if 1) it's higher quality than the rest of the picture or 2) if the color doesn't match with the rest of the area.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Yeah...I'm not going to look that closely at them!

I'll just assume they are photoshop.

[–]your_favorite_human 1 point2 points ago

That sub is fuckin lame. :/

[–]ShinyPichu 1 point2 points ago

[–]Obversaria 0 points1 point ago

I just checked it out and I can honestly say I will not be sleeping tonight. Never again shall I browse there. I'll just call that sub-reddit "Nope, nope, and nope".

[–]1trull2many 1 point2 points ago

/r/deadfriends

This is true creepiness, the kind that raises the hair on the back of your neck, something's wrong, but you're not sure what.

Fearme and creepy and nosleep just seem like they're trying too hard to me

[–]gringo1980 3 points4 points ago

WTF is deadfriends? It's just a bunch of numbers

[–]ExLegeLibertas 1 point2 points ago

Gotta agree with gringo here - all I see are one moderator posting a bunch of "factors" of various events. Deliberately not explaining or even giving the kind of hints that make for good creepypasta. Instead we're just left wondering why the random drunk on the train is babbling strings of numbers to himself. Whatever.

[–]AnimaSeverem 0 points1 point ago

I'm trying to figure out what the premise of that subreddit is. I don't get it.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

So I went there for all of three seconds, saw that background image and noped. Did I miss anything else?

[–]DavisJ3608 3 points4 points ago

My exact experience.

"Heh, I could browse /r/SpaceDicks for fun if I wanted. What's so bad about NOPENOPENOPENOPENOPE."

[–]Anhedonique 0 points1 point ago

Post to reactiongifs, there's nothing wtf about it.

[–]HeyFunkyPianist -1 points0 points ago

Not scary.

SPACEDICKS IS MY HOME FAGET

[–]Tyranichomp -2 points-1 points ago

Spacedicks is worse
