i think your use of the phrase "terrifying forum" is aptly justified here. that has got to be the most unsettling subreddit i have every come across on reddit, and i have been using reddit for more than a decade at this point.

I hadn’t had “that funny feeling” [0] for a while but yep that sub hit me like a truck.

It’s worth bearing in mind that it’s fairly small as subreddits go, I guess.

I keep telling myself it is satire or some sort of larping but we all know it isn’t.
