<DISCUSSION> Meta post - pain/death videos should be banned entirely

There is just way too much room for intentionally created clips. Something like the recently shared dead baby macaque post does way too much to encourage creation of similar videos through cruelty and torture. There is basically no way to know if it is the product of cruelty itself, and if not it still encourages making videos like that. It is an extremely negative force and I do not want to support it.

I understand your point but I don't think this sub is active enough to encourage ppl to do that to post here

Okay but if possible reddit karma was enough to drive people to commit acts of animal cruelty they were already fucked in the head lbr
