Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

1- why are you still on Reddit? 2- I kind of agree with them. You can be metal without being an ass.
You aren't an ass because you aren't tolerant towards intolerant people.
You're not fighting intolerance by using a misogynistic slur.
It's as "bad" as using "dick", which you wouldn't give two shits about. In fact, you yourself recently used "dicking around", which I guess should be, by your own logic, not okay. Right? After all it's about wasting time, so it has negative connotations, which you're applying to the male sex.
Also, he's from Australia. Stop bringing your stupid US crap into everything please.
The problem isn't that it's crude and refers to sex organs. The problem is that it's misogynistic. When someone says "cunt" or "pussy" or "bitch", they are saying "You are acting like a woman, and being a woman is bad."
I didn't say that the problem was that it is crude and you seem to completely missed the point, or act willfully obtuse so you can argue in bad faith.
"Crying like a bitch" does not refer to women at all, it refers to a female dog. The full phrase is "crying like a bitch in heat" and refers to the whining female dogs do when they're in heat.
One you can be an ass without being misogynistic, but you can’t be misogynistic without being an ass.
Imagine censoring curse words online...
A curse word toward an inanimate object or an animal I’m okay with. A curse word against a group, and a curse word related to said group I’m not okay with. That curse word may have one meaning in your social group, but this is an international community and we need to be acknowledging that certain things may be interpreted differently by others.
