I Hate What Boykisser And The Subreddits Surrounding It Have Become

I guess this is more of a personal rant about it, and I know this character has been mentioned before on this sub, but it's always bugged me and I really just need to get it off my chest.

The "UwU ":3" "Oooo boykisser" humor is generally pretty annoying, and this character has become so dumb and irritating that I feel uncomfortable interacting with the subreddits anymore. I've had uncomfortable experiences myself with it over the years and as a teen myself, I really regret being so active on it for so long. The overall obsession with 'boys' is just kinda unnerving, and boykisser as a character has been sexualised and spread so much that I just hate seeing it nowadays.

There is more to life than getting a partner and talking about kissing people... and yet if you spend time on those subreddits and interact with the community enough then you'll see just how many depressed teens have become obsessed over it. It's really sad, and I just think this type of repetitive content is not very healthy for anyone to be a part of.

Although it used to mean quite a lot to me when I was young and still figuring myself out, I realise that my depression and obsession with being loved has mostly stemmed from being on the subreddit so much. I think I was particularly susceptible to it, and I probably should have dealt with my emotions better, but yeah, this thing really made my life worse. The bullying in school and the depressed friend group I built around the shared interest in the character was not good for me at all...

So yeah, maybe I'm just sour, maybe I'm just overreacting a bit, but in my eyes this thing has become really bad and I hate the memories it has made for me.
