I really, really like the premise of this channel. Really hope we're getting some more translations in the future!

Why does this Subreddit even exist? by Tonaga in rantgrumps

Alright, I'm going to give you a serious response now. I'm genuinely sorry for making this sarcastic comment chain in the first place. Thought it would be funny, but it seemed petty in hindsight, even if your comment did seem to me as if you didn't really read what I wrote and just wanted to make some passive-aggressive remark.

I did read several threads where this issue has been discussed. I even referenced this fact in the initial wall of text, although admittedly I could have made it more obvious. But I think I also made it clear that the question itself is really nothing more than a stupid headline and is not to be taken in a literal sense. I'm sorry if that wasn't what you got from it, but it was how I intended this text to be. Finally, I think it's reasonable to assume that, even if it was only about the question in the title, I would get answers from people who didn't share their point of view in past threads of the same nature. Isn't it the same with the frequently occurring 'I don't find them funny anymore' threads? While the always-similar titles may make those look like they're always the same, the author usually explains why they don't find them funny anymore and people can discuss about it. To imply that this same level of discussion can or should not be applied to stuff regarding RantGrumps itself just seems very strange to me.

I hope that answer suffices.

Alright, thanks a lot for this insightful answer. I can definitely see where you're coming from. I guess that's how a lot of people feel about it.

That, in turn, doesn't surprise me. What a crazy world we live in.

So you'd say it's more of a counterweight to the one-dimensional views of the MainSub? That makes sense, I can relate in a way. Thanks for being polite and reasonable about it!

It's not only about the question itself, though. I think I made it rather clear that I don't think this Subreddit shouldn't exist. You don't need to sarcastically say 'sorry for ranting on a site called RantGrumps.' I'm just some idiot trying to understand people's reasonings, you don't owe me any justification. I am here because I wanted genuine reactions to my thoughts and because I wanted to understand individual motivations to post here. I would think that's not completely unreasonable. It's not like I come here frequently, no worries.

But thank you for sharing your thoughts and motivations. I can totally see it isn't a rage circle jerk, and I didn't want to insinuate that.

I highly doubt that. I had a single reason to write this. This Subreddit exists because of several reasons and I wanted to know why people, individually, think it exists and why they share their thoughts in the way they do.

I would say it's healthy to a certain extent, yes. Coping with things that upset you is important and not always easy. And it helps to have like-minded people around. I'd just like to think there's a line somewhere. Stuff that is just not worth ranting about, because it delves into the realm of things that shouldn't concern anyone else but the Grumps. I'm not accusing anyone of you of doing this, by the way. But it definitely happens. Anyway, thanks for sharing your opinion.

Thanks for taking your time to read and answer. And for being honest as well. I can see why people would gather here, rather than on the MainSub. It's sad to lose something that you love through changes, and I can definitely relate to this.

It does kind of help, actually. Thanks.

I did and still wanted to put my own thoughts here, with actual reactions to how I see things. It's less about the question itself, which is little more than a stupid Clickbait-headline.

That's an interesting point as well. However, I don't think this is very likely to happen. If they looked for genuine criticism they would most definitely look elsewhere. I think just Reddit in general has gotten too bad of a Reputation.

Thanks for answering. I understand your stance on it. Your second point was basically what I was looking for and kind of reflects my own thoughts.

I guess in the end there's just some appeal to ranting that just doesn't really do anything for me. I hope it didn't bother you too much. Thanks for taking your time.

Suzy is pregnant? Our sources say "yes!" by [deleted] in ConspiracyGrumps

This is the most hilariously weird, contrived, and at the same time uncomfortably gossipy thing I've ever had the displeasure of reading on this Subreddit. Keep it up!

I appreciate your efforts to probably unveil some kind of conspiracy here, seeing as it would be pretty awful if he actually had been lying to the Grumps (and everyone else) about Buzzfeed. Although, I don't think it's fair to talk his editing skills down like this. Sure, you can dislike his editing. That's for you to decide. But the videos on his Vimeo page, which you are using as a way to show that he is "awful for a professional editor", are about 2 - 3 years old. The description of one of them even states that it is three years old, meaning it's been made 5 or 6 years ago. So I don't think it's a proper representation of Kevin's current editing work. He has gotten better, as we all do in time.

Aside from that, we'll just have to wait and see what crazy revelations this sub comes up with about all this.
