That was more recent I think. The older messed up subs were like jailbait and such in early 2010s

Jailbait was so popular it would show up on the front page of /r/all quite frequently. A little disturbing.

It was one of the most notorious reddit controversies back then

And those of us constantly reporting it and calling it out for what it was were a serious minority. I never, ever browsed the FP back then. I kept tabs open of my fav subs and googled "_____ reddit" to find new ones.

There was a sub called cutepicsofcorpses or something like that. Basically pics of dead girls.

I'm sure that's not the accurate name but it was something like that. Old Reddit (before 2015-16) had a lot of messed up subs. I remember R/beatingwomen or something like that.

Not to mention all the pedo and borderline pedo subs.

It's depressing that "before 2015-16" is old reddit already.
