Don't encourage self harm!

Hi everyone!

We have noticed a big influx of self-harmers here who upload photos of their own cuts. If you are one of those people, welcome! Now, let's get straight to the point of this post. We have observed that there has been an increase in romanticizing self-harm, which is something that we are not keen on.

The /h/selfharm flair rarely had OC (original content, the uploader is the one who did the cutting), but there has been a big increase recently. The flair has shifted from "watch someone cut" to "watch my cute cut". Therefore, we want to implement the following rule:

• Comments and posts that encourage/romanticize self-harm will be removed.

We don't want people to rile each other up by commenting on how pretty a cut is. We don't want people to upload their "cute cuts :3". Romanticizing self-harm is not allowed. By enforcing this rule, we hope to reduce these kinds of interactions with all posts.

We hope you understand. If anyone needs help with stopping self-harm or is interested in alternate coping methods that are not as damaging to the body, please let me know :) (been there, done that).

Thank you for your time :marseypeace:!

i always thought the self harm posts were gay.

those cowards don't even inflict any real damage on themselves, they'll like half assed scratch “wpd” on their forearm with their nails and their skin will be pink, and they'll be like “i'm so dark and edgy i got wpd permanently carved in my skin oooh eddddgy” like get the fuck out of here dude i just seen a guy jump off a building and a fence post went up his butthole and through his mouth, that's the kind of self destruction im here for.

this is watch people DIE, if you aren't dying and doing it in a spectacular and interesting way, get the fuck out.

jit, they have a lot of genres, if u dont want to see ppl not dying and just hurting themselves, choose another genre that ppl DO die, maybe this site was originally abt death, the person who made the site can add anything they want

If they can try to recreate the funky town video solo, I'd check the post out. You're right though it's a bunch of attention hungry scratchers. Pick up a drug/alcohol problem like a normal person.
