Good start, but I think we can make an expectation for some shitpost perhaps.
But yeah, considering that the second top post today is some random ass post complaining about some random ass guy complaining about random ass things being "woke" or whatever, clearly something has to be done.
I'm happy the subreddit is going back to "normal" (or atleast trying to). I just got my first pc after 7+ years without one and I'm just starting the Arkham series, so the sub actually going back to Arkham is peak honestly.
I can’t reply to the mod but yes. I’d say expand the sub to be DC as a whole or Batman as a whole instead of just the Arkham games. Limit shit posting, and ban non DC related posts.
It's time to reboot the sub so our jokes can be the exact same except completely different and original. As in some sort of catastrophe across an unimaginable amount of planets not to dissimilar from our home plane of Earth
We fix it by keeping posts strictly about the arkham universe. I know this was controversial back then and still now, but I see it as necessary at this point. Posts also must be flagged as low effort. This sub has basically become a karma farm with the most barebones reposts of posts from other sub. Let's bring some creativity back to the aslume.
Bold of you to assume it’s possible. At this point the unrelated shitposting is too deeply entrenched in this place, so really it’s too late in my opinion.
Make a list of all current injokes. After a week, make those jokes a bannable offense forever.
Then, mod the sub as if it were normal again, and slowly let the insanity grow back, with new jokes.
Forge a bastion of hope, a new era in this sub.
Yeah they’re kinda right, I don’t remember the last time I saw a meme about the games, someone posted something about dick and no one even referenced the line from knight
I don't know, I thought these were all funnier than posting a random pop-culture figure and saying "what's his aslume name," "created a new character what should I call him," or going "officer balls" again.
Like, nobody even picked up on the actual joke of the "cow milk" one. The correct response would be "wait, if cow milk isn't normal milk to you, what milk is normal to you? The fuck you been drinking?" But instead I got random gifs from people who only really understood the basic shape of the joke.
I could shitpost circles around Shakespeare. The dude invented words. I can make brainrot so mind-numbing it deletes words from our vocabularies entirely.
They kinda have a point. It used to have an insanity theme to it that stayed within the DC realm at least. We're getting just random shitposts that have nothing to do with anything with "what the fuck do i name it" or other attempts to reword other various popular posts.
And a lot of times you get people trying to to justify why they post unrelated things and you can get downvoted a lot for pointing it out its crazy at times
So like every other subreddit? It feels like every subreddit is just an everything subreddit, every subreddit is just porn, politics, or a post from twitter/Tik-Tok. different names, same subjects.
I mean..so? Every thing in this world is related to everything else. Nothing new can come out of an isolated box. Similarly, every niche is created as a reaction to everything around it!
Yea but DC related brainrot. Not just the most random and unfunny shit ya can conjure up all for the sake of shitposting. Shitposts on here used to have standards.
Was the image of Michael keatons Batman without ears really that funny? I feel like we’re doing this thing old folks do, where they whine about how great the old days were, and then you look into it and it was a time before effective healthcare, rights for minorities and a lack of proper facilities. That is to say that this sub was always about being post ironic (or meta ironic?) and leaned into the anti humour. Lets not pretend like the umpteenth John marston “fucking gay” reaction was ever a deeply profound invention of humour. We’re redditors, we aren’t writing for Looney Tunes here
I think the only way to be the good guy in this whole director war is to simply not be part of it. I tried being that guy that owns the Snyder Cultists, but as I got deeper into it, I learned more and more how much both sides contribute to the Snyder fans being the way they are, or at least being as loud as they are. I've seen too many "Gunn fans" treating anyone who likes Snyder's movies like they're literal trash, and that you can't like them without being a bot. Sound familiar? Listen to the Snyder Cultists. They're insane and not scot-free from their shit, but they're pointing out a real issue that goes under the radar.
They're sadly very correct. Before we got popular it was a really beautiful thing, with lots of new jokes and creativity on abundance. Once it got mainstream it got ruined.
I remember the peak of the RP days, what a beautiful time that was.

Unfortunately, I think that's the nature of these things. When subs get popular, they inevitably lose quality of content.
This sub became a hub for wannabe comedians that don't even care about the games. r/tomorrow is a similar sub that still manages to stay on topic with their shitposts (maybe thanks to their cool jury duty system), this sub just got too popular and started attracting randos.
Yeah, kinda, barely any original content posted, and if posted, they'll just have low amount of upvotes due to unuffny and repetitive jokes having way more upvotes despite being unfunny, some of the repetitive jokes are "What do I name this guy?" "Is he stupid?" "Jonkler" edited versions of "man".
No 😭 I’ve been here for a few months so maybe I’m not that good of a judge but all the content I’ve seen is centered around the Arkham games and is actually pretty interesting or fun to consume
Yea this is my first time checking on this subreddit in like a year and it’s really fallen off. I get there’s very limited content to pull from but that’s honestly what made this sub so special. If people want to post non dc related things it should be to another sub. Used to actually be funny
I can't be the only person who doesn't like the "sub became unfunny" comments towards most of the subs. Like, I can get a couple of posts being not super funny, but ALL THE POSTS ON THE SUB always sounds like an exaggeration. ARE THEY STUPID???
They have a point. I just sorted by new and saw 5 posts: One was literally Star Wars, one was about a YouTuber not even related to Batman or DC, one was about some TV show? And the other two I don't even fucking remember. Not a single bit of DC shitposting. And that is the majority of what you see.
My example was a snippet. The point being this is the majority. Even if it wasn't, this is and should still be DC related, no? Why do you think there are a bunch of comments here complaining about this very thing and they get upvoted?
Wether something is funny or not is a different story. What I want is this sub to regain it's identity that it used to have before it got so popular. I don't understand how your funny point is relevant to this discussion tbh
It needs to be made an explicit rule. If something isn’t violating a rule you can’t really blame people for not getting it. All it takes is several people posting non DC related stuff to make newcomers or even those who took a break (not everybody is following this 24/7) from the sub believe they don’t really need to post only dc stuff.
Apparently I need to clean your teeth or something?
Kinda agree since I did go on a bit of a break from this sub into some of my other ones and only just got back here recently. So their kinda right I guess... I'm not sure really.
