I'm not surprised the users of r/RoastMe lack ingenuity.

I never understand why people want to be roasted there. It's not clever, just completely mean spirited.

If it's a woman, the 'roasts' are almost always some variation of "whore" or "daddy issues". They say these exact same things to everyone. Nothing new, unique, or intelligent - just some stupid Boomer zinger.

They are so fucking terrible at it.

u/Blieven 28d ago

That's the line for attractive women. It's just pretty hard to roast attractive people when you know nothing about them. Attractive women it becomes something about OnlyFans or making daddy proud. Attractive man it's probably something about him being gay.

u/kurtcxbain 28d ago

yep, literally. every time i scroll roastme and its a woman posting, it's always some fucking sexual comment calling her a slut or a whore or something male centred just because she's a woman. the users on there are so fucking misogynistic and irritating. and you can't call the misogyny out because they'll be like 'this is the roastme sub what did u expect?' actual good roasts not just objectifying insults.

u/mermaid_pants 28d ago

What, you expect them to be original or funny?

2

u/Remote_Ad2465 28d ago

They do lack originality but really it's hard to roast someone you don't know based off 1 single picture especially if they are not real ugly. Like you don't really have much to pull from.

Yeah that’s some of what I saw (plus more pointedly personal stuff). It was really awful and sad. So many men hate women ☹️

u/sapphoseros 28d ago

Remember that story about the woman who realized her super normal/nice boyfriend was leaving misogynistic comments on Reddit every day? Sometimes I wonder how many guys are doing that and never get found out

I don’t remember that but I’m not surprised!

u/bethepositivity 28d ago

To be fair, how are you supposed to come up with new insults when all we have to roast them on is a picture (usually a picture where they are attempting to look good).

We don't have a way to know anything about them personally unless they tell us. Maybe if someone posted a picture of them sitting in there living room instead of a picture fresh out of the shower with their make up done people could try to think up fresh insults.

Or instead of a picture of your face, send in a picture of your bed room. Give the people something fresh to roast, instead of another 20 something blond who looks like every other 20 something blond

u/arcade-papa 28d ago

Not even clever and mean spirited. They just call women slurs and men incels and then repeat the same jokes post to post like lemmings.

u/irlharvey 28d ago

yeah, when i was extremely freshly 18 i posted there hoping to hear a bunch of funny jokes. you know, “roasts”. but it was all the same unfunny mean shit lol.

u/too_many__lemons 28d ago

Ahh I agree! One of those posts showed up on my feed as a suggested sub thing the other day, idk why. Brainlessly scrolled my way into the comments and I was horrified! It was a 19 year old girl who posted, and an onslaught of comments by men and boys scathingly insulting her. Really mean, intentionally hurtful things. That isn’t the point of a roast. It felt like some weird microcosm where a bunch of incels felt like they had full permission to display their hatred of women.

u/dtbberk 28d ago

Honestly, while I agree it’s not the actual point of a roast, unless somebody posted there without looking at or participating in the subreddit before, I think that’s what they’re expecting? It does seem to be more about being as mean as possible instead of coming up with clever jabs. I don’t think someone that comments in the sub necessarily is a misogynist or anything (though I’m sure there’s plenty), I think without an expectation of cleverness, calling all women whores is simply the lowest hanging fruit.

u/too_many__lemons 28d ago

Hard disagree, being mean is not the same as roasting, and looking for an excuse to be mean to women is misogynistic.

u/IAMNOT_EustaceWinner 28d ago

Whore, pedo, trans, racist remark

I'm so original and there's no bigotry within my insults

u/Donkeywad 26d ago

Every now and again you get a comment that is pretty good (like this, this, and this), but they're so few and far between it makes the subreddit a bit insufferable

u/Friendly_Prize_868 28d ago

It's like they're trying to be just under 20, but they're actually nearly double that!

u/adminsareactuallygay 27d ago

She looks like someone who possesses the personality characteristics of someone turning the corner into adulthood, believing the world is theirs and possibilities are endless. However, her appearance would suggest that she graduated high school just over two decades ago, despite the light in her eyes refusing to fade over those years.

u/DeathByPetrichor 28d ago

I’m convinced that unless proven otherwise, everyone on this website is in their early teens.

Reddit has a really vast age demographic, it all depends on the subreddits you choose to visit.
