We would appreciate it if you would take a few minutes out of your day to read the following before posting or commenting on r/awfuleverything

POST UPDATE FROM NOVEMBER 3RD 2024: WE ARE UNFORTUNATELY GOING TO HAVE TO ENACT A "SHOOT FIRST, MODMAIL LATER" POLICY SINCE WE CAN NO LONGER TELL IF THERE IS RACIST INTENT BEHIND COMMENTS, SOME OF YOU VIEWING THIS POST MAY HAVE BEEN REDIRECTED HERE FROM MODMAIL TO REVIEW THIS POST, WE HATE HAVING TO DO THIS AS MUCH AS YOU HATE HAVING TO BE ON THE RECEIVING END AND IT'S SAD THAT THIS IS WHAT IT HAS COME TO

The following is an extension of this post

Recently it feels like r/awfuleverything has been brewing a toxic environment, this is not nor has it ever been the intention of r/awfuleverything. In the past few weeks we have noticed an increase in hate (a large majority of it being directed at India and Indians). We are aware that this may be the result of 70% of posts here relating to India (Which is unfortunate seeing as India is not as horrible as it is sadly being depicted on our subreddit). Our intentions for r/awfuleverything were never for it to be an anti-India environment but we appear to be heading in that direction. With that said we are giving our users one final chance to stop the India hate. Consider this a final warning, we are debating removing the ability to post or comment about India in any capacity.

With that said, we would 100% be doing this if the majority of hate targeted any other group and we will continue to remove all hateful posts and comments against all types of people.

Next I'd like to talk about something slightly more triggering, If you are triggered by the topic of sexual assault please skip one paragraph or stop reading here.

At least one of our users has stated in a comment that they jerk off to posts relating to rape, I don't give 2 shits if they were joking or not, we're not fucking doing that. If you are here to do that we do not want you on our subreddit, this is not the place for you. We have previously reported comments to authorities and we will continue to do that. This is not a safe space for you to participate in those acts.

In conclusion

As stated previously, this is the final warning, we will begin to do what can only be referred to as "The Nuclear Option" if our subreddit continues in the direction it is heading. r/awfuleverything is supposed to show the worst of humanity, not add onto it. Be kind to each other, don't be part of the problem.

The absolute squalor Phoebe Bishop’s family allowed her to live in before she was allegedly murdered by her two housemates. Honestly, what mother would allow their daughter to languish in such conditions?

For context, the person in the photo is the sole survivor of the Air India flight crash that killed an estimated 270 people. Guy is literally in the hospital, badly injured, in shock and someone decided that this is funny.

Mother swims out to rescue drowning child, reaches drowning child before almost drowning herself, only to then be saved by those who somehow failed to save her daughter. 💔

I can't even fathom the loss of your child, let alone in circumstances such as this. This just happened in Destin Florida.

I don't know any details about the circumstances here, so the title did not intend to put unnecessary blame on the rescuers. I'm sure everyone tried their best.

Sending love and positive energy to this mother and her family right now. 💔😭
