/r/circlebroke jerks

Anatomy of a Circlebroke Post:

Always start with a title that contains words in square brackets, like [Low Effort], but then submit a high effort post, and a mod will tag your post "Not Low Effort". This way, you get the tacit endorsement of a mod, and a star next to your post. Say something negative about Reddit and its denizens. The more negative, the better.

"/r/jokes hates women and, bizarrely, also maids."

Start by saying what the thread in question is about in a very slanted and misleading way.

“Here is a thread I found on /r/jokes that typifies the negative stereotyping that these virgin neckbeards sling towards women.”

>The maid asked for a raise, and the wife was upset.

>She asked, "Now, Helen, why do you think you deserve a pay increase?"

>Helen: "There are three reasons. The first is that I iron better than you."

>Wife: "Who said that?"

>Helen: "Your husband."

>Wife: "Oh."

>Helen: "The second reason is that I am a better cook than you."

>Wife: "Who said that?"

>Helen: "Your husband."

>Wife: "Oh."

>Helen: "The third reason is that I am better at sex than you."

>Wife: "Did my husband say that as well?"

>Helen: "No, the gardener did."

>Wife: "So, how much do you want?"

Next, ask the reader to imagine the sex/race/religion of anyone involved was different, and make assumptions accordingly.

“Imagine if instead of the wife this was the husband. Reddit was lose its shit.”

Next delve into the comments. The top comment will always be level-head and reasonable, so quote it only if you must but move on as quickly as possible to stuff you disagree with.

>I like this post.

>>I agree.

“Fucking circlejerk! Jesus Christ can’t these people get a room to whack each other off in?”

Next, quote a joke that someone makes, but pretend you don’t know it’s a joke, and treat it as though it is not. This is all part of Circlebroke’s War on Jokes™.

>Well at least the Gardner has some good hoes.

“I’m not sure if this is supposed to be a joke or not, so I’m going to assume it isn’t. Misogynistic fat neckbeards hating women just because they are too socially awkward to fuck anything other than their fleshlight or their vacuum.”

Now quote something innocuous and pretend it is worse than it really is.

>Expected ending, but I still laughed :D

“Really? Really???? Seriously? Seriously????”

Cherrypick a few comments that have been heavily downvoted but back up your central argument, and pretend they are representative of the majority of the comments.

>Oh white people…

“Everyone in the thread assumes that it is only white wives who cheat on their husbands. This comment was downvoted to -6, but it still received some upvotes, I assume.”

Compare the people in the subreddit in question with people in other, much worse subreddits, as though they are the same people.

“I find it rich that the same people who apologise for child molesters and think it’s okay to use the word ‘n*gger’ are the same people who now upvote this hate speech.”

Exaggerate out of all proportions. Put words into people’s mouths.

>I'm drunk. I don't get it. Explain please.

“DAE 420 blaze it faggots??? The pro-weed circlejerk rears its ugly head. ELI5: why does the oppressive government oppress my white male middle-class basement-dwelling right to grow my own weed?”

Disagree with someone. Saying why optional.

>The gardener slept with both the wife and the maid; the wife is paying the maid for her silence.

"This person gets it so wrong."

Just be snarky.

>First time I've seen /r/jokes on /r/all and it was brilliant.

“I thought only gay men spent this much time up each others’ assholes.”

Close by saying you don’t know why you still visit this hateful website.

"I'm so fucking sick of this stupid shit. Fuck the defaults and their echo chambers of brave, teenage rebellion towards authority. I don't know why I even bother coming on this site anymore, there's nothing here for people who don't want their own opinions repeated back at them in the form of "witty" canned responses that have been used a hundred times before (you wouldn't download a car LOL Anne Frankly I don't give a damn you magnificent sir) because no one can think for themselves since they've been stuck in reddit for so long. The only thing they know how to do is pander and be pandered to by fucking manchild infantile opinions and pat themselves on the back for petty revenge fantasies against children, women, their parents, anyone who doesn't Narwhal at midnight, etc.

"What is it about reddit that just attracts smug douches? Probably because they need to feel persecuted in their otherwise bland lives so they have to pretend like the government is out to get them and they literally want to stomp on their rights when in reality they live in the most prosperous nation on Earth and have more rights then people in most other countries could ever hope to have.

"Your great war is having to pay $1.29 for a song you twat."

I’ll leave it to others to post about the 'Anatomy of a Circlebroke Comment'.
