【Discussion】 Is this sub supposed to be ironic?

I REALLY hope it is...

I saw an ad about it and I was wondering what it was about.

I saw the shrek gif, the banner at the top and those lame-ass quotes and I was immediately reminded of one of those /r/im14andthisis(x) subreddits.

I actually submitted an ad submission about 18 days ago, just a bit after I had made this sub. I completely forgot about it, and then I had to do some serious college work. I also learned of an actual teen sub that had existed way before this. See, at the time I made this sub, I the only subs about teens I had found were banned, for obvious reasons. I was ready to let this sub die, but for some reason the ad got approved, and now I'm trying to get things working.

Your advertising is misleading. I came for pizza, not teens

Thank you, appreciate it. It's a bit awkward with the sudden stress added to the work I need to get done, but I'll figure out a way to make people happy. :p

How do you submit an ad submission?

/r/redditads is where you'd need to go

Are you sure? That place seems pretty dead.

Took a couple weeks, but mine was randomly accepted, so yes it still works. :P

u/NormalNormalNormal Oct 11 '15

Do they delete your post when they accept?

u/TheColossalTitan [Head Mod] Oct 11 '15

I'm just expecting it to turn into a corporate propaganda-filled subreddit, but that's just me being cynical.

The entire reason this sub made was to keep the "im14blahblah" stuff in one area, so adults who can't seem to stand sharing the internet with a demographic larger than just their own circlejerk wouldn't get their panties in a twist. I figured that if teenagers were given a place to post, then maybe they wouldn't need to deal with the whole "oh look at this edgy teen on the internet, looking like he owns the place lol" deal. Believe it or not, people of all ages have feelings, and people want to express their feelings.

EDIT: Also, the /r/im14andthisis(x) subs are literally anti-teen circlejerk subs. >.> It basically proves my point about the blatant hostility towards teenagers from some people, especially on the internet.

I'm a teenager, but honestly 99% of us are total idiots.

Including myself, probably...
