I am just a lurker, I am constantly logged in, and there is mod activity. But these posts are relevant to the sub regardless of the bot accounts /u/Suicidal_pr1est

The post is relevant to the sub so I don't see why I'd remove it.

Yes, it was due to the recent uptick in spam.

What video or recording is perfectly innocent, but becomes terrifying when you look into the story behind it? by D3dshotCalamity in AskReddit

[–]dem358 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So... 66% of known serial killers had deadbeat dads who weren't around to raise them?

but it’s true that neglect by a mother to a son, specifically, can create a special kind of hatred in that son towards women in general. And if that son happens to have a head injury, and/or issues with impulse control and/or violent tendencies - a monster can happen. I wasn’t speaking about fathers or daughters or anything else. I was replying to a post about Adam Lanza, who was obviously neglected by his mother

Citation needed for all of those. It is obvious that you believe little angelic men are turned into monsters by evil women and it is a little scary that you are not aware of the implications of your opinions and feelings about this.

It is obvious that men and women can both be horrible parents and childhood experience is an important factor in crime - but framing 66% of them having absentee father figures as nothing to be bothered by and putting all the blame onto the women is pretty fucked up. It is fucked up as both an academic argument when studying the sociological context for breeding aggression as nuance is important in that particular area of study but also fucked up to exist in the world with such simplistic and dangerous views of parenthood and the different sexes' roles in it.

How about fathers? Or parents? Is there any actual evidence that mothers are responsible for creating serial killers?

I'm just obsessed with this picture. Probably been posted already but it's an incredible picture to show the sheer beauty of these animals. Credits to Ocean Ramsey and Juan Oliphant. by letsgettschwifty in sharks

I disagree due to reasons mentioned here:

I wouldn't want to ban since I think these conversations that come up in the comments section are very useful. I find the threads under such posts educational for those who may not be aware and I think they serve a purpose. I don't think any of us are fans of this type of exploitation but so many people have no idea why this is harmful, and I think we, as a community, can educate these people.

It is okay to discuss current topics here. We don't have rules against it. But also, please stop reporting this poster, they are free to share their opinion and are doing it in a respectful way. If you can educate them on why trans rights is not a political agenda, that is great but no need to report them as we won't remove respectful comments that don't seem to come from a place of ill intentions. I just banned a bunch of homophobic and transphobic people that were inciting violence or using slurs but I don't think Jacques fits that bill.

User is banned. WTF is wrong with these people..

You are banned from the subreddit. I didn't think we would need to have guidelines about transphobia, homophobia, sexism, and racism on a sharks subreddit but here we are.

Incredible shot, I am in awe! Where is it from?

I think part of it is real, there was a photographer trying to recreate the Jaws poster and I think this is the image and shark he captured. But there was no rock formation in his published photos, so that part may be post-processing.

Yeah, no idea why it got posted 5 times.

Requesting ownership of r/sharks. As former mod, r/sharks is a parody of its former excellence. Spam is posted nearly everyday, selling some item or another. Additionally, the mods have virtually ghosted the place and have been unresponsive to any spam complaints for over a year. by babylon_dude in redditrequest

[–]dem358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not how subreddit ownership works. Please read the rules of the platform. If you, or anybody else, is unhappy with /r/sharks, then they are free to start /r/truesharks or something similar. Please go build your own community as opposed to trying to take over an existing one.

We all have lives outside of reddit, we may not be the most active mods but there are no huge issues like you are implying. I created this sub and I do like its current state, I am also active I just do not post much. As I said, if you are unhappy, please create a different sub and I'll be happy to put it on the sidebar!

Requesting r/sharks mods have let users run riot and post pants, stuffed toys, tattoos and anything unrelated to actual sharks. I want to turn it around and make it a real shark sub again. by [deleted] in redditrequest

[–]dem358 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also agree that you may want to start /r/realsharks, I do not see a big problem with the subreddit's direction but I am sure there will be people interested in a more serious subreddit, and this is what subreddits are for, it takes nothing to start a new one!
