Imgur is a decent image host which for some ungodly reason has an active community. It is not a good community. It is a cesspit of racist, sexist, idiot neckbeards, who can only process any form of content by stripping it of any substance and reducing it to a handful of memes they know to automatically upvote/downvote.





Unfortunately since PYF is 90% poo poo ripped from imgur you've probably been there a lot. Post idiots on imgur here.

e: This thread is actually worse than imgur but post poo poo from imgur here anyway

You could just take pictures of 90% of the comments on imgur and post them to cringepics, really.

Part of me hopes that Camp Imgur will be as entertaining of a trainwreck as last year's DashCon, but since this event looks to be officially sanctioned by Imgur, I'm guessing it was probably organized by competent people. That said, bookmarking this thread.

The organization is better (which is to say it exists at all) but the attendees are far worse. I'll be shocked if there aren't multiple sexual harassment incidents

Aren't the separating the camps by proffered gender pronouns, so they'll need like 7 different buildings? Plus grown adults in committed relationships have to sleep separately since its grade 5 again.

"There are 9 villages, each with a varied number of open-faced (three walls and a ceiling) cabins that sleep 8 per cabin and a set of larger group tents. Campers will bring their own sheets, sleeping bags, pillows, blankets and toiletries... just like camp. Campers will also be assigned to their village and villages are separated based on gender identity. Sneaking out to mingle with other villages is highly encouraged."

I've been eagerly awaiting camp imgur since they first announced it god knows how many months ago. I know it's going to be a disappointment though, since it won't result in the immediate death of everyone in their so-called "community," myself included.

I see a few ladies, everyone looks clean, most people are a reasonably average weight, only a few neckbeards. Camp Imgur is disappointing me.

Really white crowd, though.

Wrong. Not enough hot underdressed women for Jason to bother this particular camp.

I've always wondered what the overlap of the voting and the commenting part is on Imgur, you so often see terrible images that get called out by most comments on the frontpage

Yeah they like her except when imgur decided to ban nsfw in comments and they sent her death threats :thumbsup:

I think part of it might be due to how popular reddit posts get straight to the front page of imgur, so the pic gets there because of reddit and in the comments are just imgur making GBS threads on it.
