On /tv/, Reddit is perceived as a bunch of naive tools who believe that being a nerd is cool. As a result, they're childishly enthusiastic about their hobbies (which they've only barely scratched the surface of), find random humor completely hilarious, and are notoriously pedantic. This is due to the fact that they believe that nerds are some kind of "cultural elite" simply because their interests aren't completely mainstream.

BUT, since they don't see themselves as particularly alienated by society, they haven't developed the pleb/patrician paradigm, unlike 4chan. Consequentially, they also have the prudish, politically-correct mentality that goes with the delusion that they can still be normal members of society and accepted by potentially anyone, or that they have moral standards to uphold. This makes them very prone to being shocked or amused by the cheapest transgressions and subversions.

Reddit has to like it first. Which means the people constantly talking about the website and telling people to go back already visit the website, because how else would they know these things. So in conclusion, they're all obnoxious massive hypocrites.

You aren't allowed to like Rick and Morty

>Trying to understand the logic of 4chan

Truly Reddit

Look at GoTs.

Jewish producers
>tits required in every single episode
>quips from le popular edgey minority handicapped guy
>womyn stronk
>white males weak or evil
>changes to story to push agenda (see cringey scene with tywin and grandma tyrell talking about fags)
>writing switches from source to fan fiction

Its honestly all in line with Wagner's description of Jewish art.

Shit that was made to make money not be art. GoT started out great but now its complete shit and reddit will never acknowledge this because its got all the above features that they like.

Really cheap pop culture references that can get understood by everyone so just they can feel "they are such a nerd" for getting it

Example: Will Smith watching Shrek in I Am Legend is reddit humor. "haha I get it because I love Shrek too, the contrast of seeing it referenced in a dark vampire story is so random just like me"

Dan Harmon creator of R&M and Community is nothing but cheap pop culture references therefore he is the de facto reddit favorite writer

>>81284919
“Reddit” is a term co-opted for use as a meaningless pejorative in order to vaguely call someone else’s authenticity into question and, by extension, claim authenticity for yourself.

It serves no conversational function and imparts no information, save for indicating the opinions and preferences of the speaker.

Meanwhile, a market myth has sprung up around the term, as well as a cultural bogeyman consisting of elusive white 20-somethings who wear certain clothes (but no one will agree on what), listen to certain music (no one can agree on this either), and act a certain way (you’ve probably sensed the pattern on your own).

You can’t define what “that kind of behavior or fashion or lifestyle” actually is, nor will you ever be able to. That’s because you don’t use “Reddit” to describe an actual group of people, but to describe a fictional stereotype that is an outlet for literally anything that annoys you.

The twist, of course, is that if it weren’t for your own insecurities, nothing that “Reddit” could do or wear would ever affect you emotionally. But you are insecure about your own authenticity - “Do I wear what I wear because I want to? Do I listen to my music because I truly like it? I’m certainly not like those filthy Redditors!” - so you project those feelings.

Suffice it to say, no one self-identifies as Reddit; the term is always applied to an Other, to separate the authentic Us from the inauthentic, “ironic” Them.

Calling someone else Reddit is literally the most reddit thing someone can do. Notice how you'll see these accusations leveled most often in generals about recent movies or shows that are currently on the air.

If it has any of the following qualities:
1. It's a big hit ratings wise.
2. It gets/got bad ratings but has a "cult following".
3. Liberal viewpoints.
4. Forced diversity.
5. Entry level philosophical concepts. Superficial writing.
6. Is a western cartoon made after 2003.
7. Has universal critical praise, Emmy nominations, etc.

Desu, if Old /b/ was present now they'd be considered Reddit and so would old /tv/. Those old lost verticals would probably be shat on 24/7 right now

This exactly, a joke that anyone can understand, a game that anyone could win, a film that anyone could enjoy.

4chan used to be the home of inside jokes, 'lurk moar' wasn't just something said out of spite but actual advice. It's no surprise 4chan hates on the above, and calling it Reddit is the easiest way to describe it.

The three points of redditism:

>1
It has to be a show that's incredibly popular with a niche that's larger than it thinks it is. These are the people who think "oh not many people watch this show" but in reality quite a large portion of the population does.

>2
Also has to feature a plot and characters that targeted that specific audience exclusively. This is done solely as pandering, making all the episodes and characters within them feel incredibly static with terribly little actual development.

>3
The last essential part of a show being reddit is being incredibly overrated to the point where the defined audience will sing its praises as if it's the Second Coming.

And the Redditor reveals himself. Go back.

Reddit is pretty much the lowest common denominator, humor that a bum on the street could get.

Their whole site is made for attracting as many people as possible, hey you like X? well there's a subreddit filled with people who WORSHIP X, and if there isn't you can make it yourself!

Oh, you wrote a shitty pun? Well others will follow up on your shitty pun, and you'll even get points just for trying, if you wrote it early enough, maybe you'll even get gold!

Someone did something bad to you? Well you posted it in public, so now everyone better act like you were in the right all along without hearing the other sides story at all, how else will people get points?

I'd go on but reddit isn't worth the time, a hugbox is the best way to describe it.

>>81286207

Definitely the former, not sure if the latter. I feel Star Wars is very quickly becoming reddit, but I don't know if I'd go as far as to say that it's there yet.

Rick and Morty is the only show I can think of that somehow managed to be reddit-on-release.

>>81286015
I'm a little up in the air on point 3, but the other two are definitely valid laws of judging something Reddit.

>has a "kickass" and "quirky" female or minority protagonist
>straight white male is the villain
>black male/white female interracial relationships
>southerners are portrayed as dumb racist Jesus worshippers
>lost of Diversity
>anti establishment and about "fucking the system". It wants to be counter culture, but is too PC to go the full way

>>81285714
/pol/ can be Reddit too. Unfunny spam and memes like Prais Kek and Bogandoff are undeniably Reddit.

>>81286269
Star Wars has surpassed reddit and become popular entry level nerd shit.

>>81285555
That trailer was funny but man those youtube comments from those niggers are fucking cancer. Fix your black people, Americans

No one on /tv/ can actually explain why "Rick and Morty" is Reddit. Ask the question and you won't get a single reply.

Something that is totally pleb but tries to pass itself off as smart, deep, etc

Futurama
Rick & Morty
Bioshock: Infinite
Hitchhiker's GttG
Portal
Bojack Horseman

>>81286328

In fairness though, Star Wars was always entry-level.

It cemented itself as such around the prequel trilogy, but face it, episode 4 wasn't really normie-repellent either.

>>81286376
Does that make Evangelion reddit-tier?

>>81286336
You really do need to get into the mindset of a Redditor to understand why this show is so popular. These people have never heard of adult animation in their lifes that wasn't stuff like Family Guy, it was completely alien to them. And they can't laugh at these shows because they consider these shows stupid. They want a show that isn't necessarily smart or funny or well-written, but that appears to be to appeal to their surface-level taste. Because these people live for that mindless self-validation. They don't actually understand what makes for good writing or good comedy, nor have they ever picked a book about physics. They want to pretend they do so and circlejerk themselves, that's what matters.

Rick and Morty is just perfect for its demographic: these same college-age self-important Bernouts who "fucking love science". The entire foundation of the show is built upon the dichotomy between "silly sci-fi humor and references" and " things are super deep and tragic bro". This pseudo-intellectual "nothing even matters, I'm insecure about existence, we are all going to die" bullshit that R&M shits out in almost every episode is what appeals to it's audience. The show doesn't actually have the tact to even begin to offer an interesting presentation and discussion of any philosophy, so it spouts these edgy teenage catchphrases.

Nevermind the bean-headed, noodle-limbed unexpressive character design, or how the story is non-existent and only comes up when the writers beg you to feel something for these characters so devoid of substance, or how the entire show is a trendy forgettable scenario of the week memefest with just enough sci-fi references to trick kids into thinking they are smart for understanding them, or how the characters have somehow been reduced to even more obnoxious caricatures than before, none of these things matter. What matters is that it appeals to the millenial redditor audience, and that's what's selling Rick and Morty.

>>81286376
Bioshock Infinite was such shit compared to the first two. Was the entire reason it was praised to the moon due it being anti-white and anti-American exceptionalism?

Evangelion is far too nihilistic for the average Redditor.

No not really. Incorrectly using words you saw on reddit is reddit.

>>81284919
4chin /tv/turds have a massive insecurity complex when it comes to Reddit. Mainly because the site is far more popular. But also be Star recent Alexa data has shown that 98% of the people on 4chins also visit Reddit, but they're too butt hurt to admit it

Reddit is upvote/downvote culture. It promotes hivemind and collectivism. 4chan promotes contrarianism because if you disagree with someone you are rewarded with (You)s instead of brigaded with downvotes.

For instance, go to /r/hiphopheads and post a sincere criticism of Kanye. The fact that you will get brigaded with downvotes from the kanye reddit defense force makes him reddit. It's no wonder that the place is a liberal shithole as well, their politics work the exact same way.
