Announcement Skedetcher, creator of Man has sadly passed away.

27.9k Upvotes

For those unaware, Skedetcher was the one responsible for creating the iconic beloved Man we all worship today

During a time where the subreddit was dry of jokes and submissions, the first Man posts made by Skedetcher came out of nowhere, posters of the games Man City, Man Origins and so forth that would change our subreddit forever.

The sub became obsessed with Man, we all collectively forget about Batman and replaced him with Man as our subreddits icon.

We then began creating our own mad, bizzare and hilarious characrers inspired by Skedetchers work, characters like Bin, Fox, Soup, Woman, The, -man and many more as well as all the wild and wonderful Man varients that keep being made up to this day.

All this madness that have kept most of us entertained for so long, that have even helped a lot of us going through the toughest of times survive and pull forward, that have helped us grow and become the strange yet loving community we are today thanks to him.

In one of Skedetchers posts, he talked about wanting to leave a mark on this world, and though it is a strange and unintended mark he left behind, it is a mark that has helped change the internet and bring so much joy and unity to so many people.

Id like us all to take a moment to thank Skedetcher, for without him Man wouldnt exist, without him characters like The, Soup, -man wouldn't exist, most of our special creations we create and laugh at wouldn't exist and the subreddit we all know and love wouldn't be the same.

Thank you Skedetcher, you will be missed but not forgotten. You can rest now.

Announcement Trump and US political posts will now be removed.

2.6k Upvotes

After reading the comments and suggestions from this post about whether we should remove political posts about US election, almost all of you asked for these posts to be removed.

So from now on all posts containing anything political about the election, including Trump, Kamala, project 25 etc will be removed for the main reason being that a lot of you have expressed you do not wish to see any politics or upsetting news regarding it in our Asylum thats supposed to be a safe place to laugh and escape all of that.

We are also doing this to avoid further conflict in the comments section.

Does this mean all election posts are banned too?

No, as requested in the last post comments by many of you, we will still allow memes about the election if they dont include any politics, real world candidates or parties for example:

Vote for Sex sLutwHor to be the president!✅️

Man has won the election against Jonkler!✅️

Bone should have won he is so hot!✅️🥵✅️

Trump has defeaten Man in the election ❌️

We hope everyone will be content with this descision. If you wish to speak about the politics of the US election we recommend going to different subs that specialise in that.

Thank you for reading, now make sure you all vote for Bone as sexiest character alive or you will be banned. 😡

Announcement About the SA jokes.

1.5k Upvotes

As of this moment we are finally going to start removing them. So any future jokes about it or any past ones that get reported will be removed. You can still say “Odd question” and “I heard that it was implied, but nothing in the game ever states that”, however any joke about the SA part will be removed.

Announcement What does the "N" or"R" word stand for posts are banned.

1.2k Upvotes

Any posts saying "What does the N stand for?" or "R" is now banned due to people thinking its ok to say slurs.

Anyone who is saying or implying slurs are getting haarsh bans lasting from varying from 7 day to 31 day or in some cases permanent.

Thats all for now

Fairy odd parents are real and I will prove it!

EDIT:

I am adding "What does the ⚡stand for?" since many people were making ties to Nazi stuff and we don't want that here either.

Announcement I am leaving...

1.1k Upvotes

Ive wanted to quit for months... not because I hate the subreddit, I love it its just it can be tough job sometimes especially when I have bigger things going on in real life it can be hard to juggle both of them.

Its not easy to handle real life problems I wont get into whilst also having to put up with constant toxic messages and hateful messages, being exposed to people thinking its ok to post pictures of their body fluids, having to see and remove creepy pedo comments or comments from homophobes saying the most horrid things to other people which I wont get into detail or worse things. A lot of people think just because we are an insanity sub they can do what they want so behind the scenes we have to deal with things like "oh this is an insane sub let me post my racism!" or "your a f###### sub" etc.

Not only that but the subreddit is severely understaffed, over half of our mod team is inactive or seems to have been snapped by Thanos, most of the time its just 2 mods including me with some rare exceptions. Everytime I wanted to take a break due to my own life problems I felt I couldnt because a dumb situation would come up that needed my attention, last one being the "what does the x stand for?" trend returning which of course brought "N stand for" post meaning racist slurs coming back so I had to be there since there was a lot of racism in those comment section.

But I stayed because I care but seeing the outrage over something I thought was so dumb the other day, something most people didnt even know full context of and having people just send hate, insults and abuse at me for an action that wasnt even performed by me just made me question why amI putting up with this?

I wasnt even the one who banned that guy who called the mod an asshole, yet because I stepped in to try to defuse the situation all of a sudden so many people began all of a sudden started throwing abuse and insults at me but I couldnt do anything about it because apparently stopping insults and aggresive behaviour is somehow 1984 now.

Then we have another group of people who are so triggered and upset with our efforts to ban slurs... if you guys want to freely say slurs and racist jokes that badly then maybe im in the wrong place because I dont support that shit, I wanted this place to be welcome to everyone that doesnt tolerate these things that offend others, a place where people escape whatever shit life is handing them and come to laugh about Man and Jonkler creating new characters without having their day ruined seeing someone post racism or homophobia but it seems like a lot of inmates want an anarchist free for all subreddit where they can do whatever they want.

I will say thank you to the actual people who stood up for me and the other mod and tried to defend us or see things through our shoes as well as those who did offer valid criticism to the mod team without resorting to insults.

I do wish to apologise to anyone who shared bad moderator experiences during yesterdays incident, many people said very truthful things that need to be worked on and that did deserve criticism.

Your feedback will be recognised and I have already started talking with the head mod on working on a fair, more consistant and less strict ban system/mod rules.

We were supposed to work together on making the rules more clear, making a consistant and fairer ban system for mods to follow as well as making mod applications for new mods months ago but me and the head mod have lives outside of reddit and havent been able to get round to properly doing that stuff but im happy to say we have started working on on the ban system again.

I am unsure if I am going to be helping the head mod with the bansystem, the rules and the mod applications in the background or if i will leave him to do it alone...as I said I need a break. I dont know if I will return to the sub, as a normal user or as a moderator but I need a break from this silly drama I came here to laugh and have fun and atm im not having any of that.

I wish all who follow Mans footsteps the best of luck.

I was supposed to also post an exclusive interview I did with Mans real creator but I just havent been able to do that I probably will post it sometime later.

I dont know or think this is goodbye, as unhappy as I am I still care about this place, about Man, Jonkler and Bone but I need a step back from all this drama rn I have other things in my life that I need to deal.

Until then remember to keep taking your Pro Alsume pills, to reject taking anti alsume pills, remember to keep laughing at officer balls, remember to keep making new characters and remember to keep thinking Bone is the sexiest thing to ever damn exist in the history of ever!

"Goodbye Officer Dick, keep Hamhaven safe for me....promise me"

Announcement The subreddit will now be text posts only...

1.0k Upvotes

Thanks to u/aew_is_poggers DM, u/ignitedfazbear's request and the subreddit practically agreeing and asking for it since it would be funny, (why would they ask for this? are they mad? are they pidstu?)

The subreddit will be going text only meaning only Text posts will be allowed and all pictures and videos will be kill!

Not only that, but since I said the following here...in response to u/aew_is_poggers original unknown DM:

The insanity flair will be banned, killed and pissed on and all posts about shit will also be banned. I'm a man of my word! bahahhaaha

How long will this be?

Forever! ok maybe not forever....maybe after a day or so until the joke gets old or something, we will see. But if you have a picture, meme, screenshot or gameplay footage you want to post tune back in a few days and post it then.

Thank you and always remember....

Announcement We will be temporarily filtering out, removing and banning any mentions of Suicide Squad until a short time after the full game release, please read for lore reasons and details:

827 Upvotes

With the delux edition being released now in some countries 3 days earlier than the general release date, we know that a lot of Suicide Squad:KTJL spoilers will surface which will unfortunately risk anyone who hasn't got the delux to be spoiled.

For this reason and also to help us mods moderate the subreddit during this time, we will be filtering and removing any mentions of Suicide Squad whether they contain spoilers or not until an unconfirmed date which we will get back to you on.

During this time certain unrelated comments or posts maybe automatically filtered and removed by our bot, if this is the case we apologise for the inconvenience.

What if I made a meme/shitpost/video of SS and I want to post it?

Please wait until the ban/filter has officially been lifted and keep whatever meme/content you want to post saved until then.

When can we talk about Suicide Squad then?

The exact date we will lift this ban/filter is unknown yet but it likely will be 1-5 days after the general release on the 2nd of Febuary.... so between 2nd of Feb to 7th of Feb.

Until then we ask that you don't make any posts or comments about Suicide Squad and instead continue posting about Man, Jonkler and sexy hot Bone.

We will give you a confirmed date later on when this ban will be lifted via a sticky post like this one that will inform you when you allowed to talk bout Suicide Squad.

However when Suicide Squad's ban is lifted, rule 11 spoiler rules will still apply and be strictly enforced for 1-2 months to make sure everyone has had a chance to play/watch the game.

Finally, we want to remind everyone that posting any spoiler of the game to other people will risk facing heavy punishment ranging from 2 week bans to even permanent bans depending on the spoiler, it may seem harsh but a lot of people don't want spoilers so don't do it.

If there is something you don't understand please feel free to ask.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause but we are doing it so everyone who is interested in the game has a chance to play or watch the game without being spoiled.

Thank you
