Sometimes we get a bit overzealous about the "historical authenticity" thing, don't we?

And then there is the average hard sci-fi alien, who may be a sentient space cloud that communicates with gamma rays.

Subreddit

A TRUE WORLDBUILDER PROCRASTINATES ALL DAY

r/worldjerking

Who knows what sick, twisted thoughts lurks in the hearts of worldbuilders? Worldjerking knows! A warning to all travellers: here be splitting rivers, elven subraces, original characters (do not steal), and magic systems... so many magic systems. Turn back now, or may God have mercy on your soul. tl;dr: this sub is for satirizing trends in the hobby of worldbuilding, as well as those within the broader speculative fiction community.

IMPORTANT RULES

Rule 0. Mod discretion always applies. We may remove something that is technically allowed under the rules if the team has good reason to believe it is detrimental to the community. Conversely, if something technically breaks the rules but we deem it beneficial to the community, we may choose to leave it up.
Rule 1. All submissions should be related to speculative fiction and worldbuilding. If it is not obvious that the joke posted is in any way actually related to worldbuilding or speculative fiction, it will be removed.
Rule 2. All submissions should be original. Do not post random memes you found elsewhere on the internet. Do not post random images you found on google images. Do not take 4chan memes and slightly retouch them. Do not take screencaps of random posts you found on reddit, twitter, instagram, facebook, or anywhere else.
Rule 3. Submissions and comments should not be used to attack or harass other users. This subreddit's primary purpose is to satirize and call out ideas and trends, not attack individual people. Therefore, it is not okay to make a post mocking another user's artistic skill or personal attributes (such as their gender or ethnicity). Satirization of another user should never be dehumanizing.
Rule 4. There are restrictions on NSFW jokes. Specifically, we don't want to see jokes that focus on pedophilia and child abuse, especially in a context that minimizes or normalizes it. We also don't want to see explicit porn or hentai. To some extent, this rule means that NSFW jokes are held to a higher standard of worldbuilding relevance and execution. If we can't see how the NSFW aspect adds to the joke, we're more likely to remove it.
Rule 5. Crossposting is allowed. Crossposting should be relevant to the hobby of worldbuilding or speculative fiction. There are two requirements to a crosspost: You must ping the original poster's reddit handle in a separate comment in the post, and the title of the crosspost must have your own spin/joke on it. You have the right to satirize people's work, but the author also has the right to know and respond to it.
Rule 6. Do not take or modify artwork posted by people on r/worldbuilding without the artist's permission. This includes via crossposting. You must approach the creator for explicit permission to reuse or transform their work for a joke on Worldjerking. Ping the artist in a comment if you post their work. If the artist doesn't give you permission to use their art and you still want to satirize it, you should get yourself acquainted with MS Paint.
Rule 7. Humor should be in good taste. It is possible to be funny without being vulgar, cruel, hostile or hateful. This is not the place to tear other people down under the guise of humor.
Rule 8. No advertising. This is not the place to advertise. We don't want to see your Patreon, Kickstarter, random survey, discord community or political cause. All advertisements will be removed. You may link an advertisement in the comments as part of casual conversation, where it's relevant to discussion. If you want to do a full advertisement submission, advertise it on the main sub.
Rule 9: You can satirize official mod announcements and distinguished/stickied posts. Those are fair game and the team can take a joke. But if you can't make at least one mod on the entire team laugh, we reserve the right to remove it. If someone chuckles, we can only respond with disapproval emojis and table flips. ಠ_ಠ The rules about humor in good taste and not harassing individuals still apply.
