Welcome to /r/MorbidReality, a subreddit devoted to the most disturbing content the internet has to offer. Here, we study and observe the darkest aspects of human nature.
A good post should foster insightful discussion by making you contemplate your humanity and life's struggles. If you are unsure about how to conduct yourself in this subreddit, a good rule of thumb to follow is to remain respectful and thoughtful at all times.
Rules
Make use of the report button when encountering rule-breakers. Breaking any rule is grounds for an immediate ban. The length of the ban is at the mod's discretion.
Commenting Rules
1 - Humor at the expense of someone's pain is strictly prohibited.
Refrain from posting jokes, memes, puns, reaction gifs and wordplays. Comments should contribute to thoughtful and serious discussion only. Do not make light of events using humor. This subreddit exists to study and mourn.
2 - Refrain from promoting hate speech.
This includes but is not limited to; racism, sexism, religion-bashing, name-calling, insults, and any other abusive/threatening language. "Abusive language" includes posts which are malicious or insulting in nature. Even if the person you are insulting committed a heinous act, do not describe how they should be punished.
3 - Unless it is directly relevant to the submission, keep political discussion to a minimum.
Comments that are deemed to be baiting an argument, no matter what side of the fence it falls on, will be removed. Conspiracy theories will result in moderator intervention.
Submission Rules
4 - Provide verification from a reliable source for your submission.
This is required for submissions that consist only of image(s) or video(s). Posts that are fake/fiction will be removed, even if they depict something that happens in real life.
5 - Screenshots from, or links to, social media websites are not allowed.
This is considered a low-effort post. Screenshots of social media are not a reliable source and can't be accepted as such. Screenshots of news sites and headlines aren't acceptable and should be posted instead as a link post to the site.
6 - Submission titles must be descriptive and accurate enough to understand exactly what the content is inside.
This helps prevent sensationalist, biased, and misleading titles. It also provides a trigger warning for those who may be affected by graphic content.
7 - No submissions that rely solely on gore in order to be disturbing.
We care about the story more than the actual graphic content. The focus of this subreddit is to focus on personal struggle, not just pictures of gore, dead bodies, and deformities. If you want to submit or look at pictures without context behind them, there are many subreddits listed below that can cater to your needs.
8 - Submission must have a direct correlation with people.
This subreddit revolves around the morbidity of human nature and human-related activities. (e.g., a lion killing a zebra is not allowed. An animal dying to natural causes is not allowed. A human abusing an animal is allowed. A human dying by an animal is allowed).
9 - Reposts will be removed without warning.
Check the new tab and search bar before you make a submission.
10 - There is a 24 hour ban on content showing dead or injured victims/perpetrators after a mass-casualty event.
This is to give time for families to be informed by authorities what has happened.
11 - Question posts are subject to approval via modmail.
These posts will be automatically removed until the user contacts us requesting approval.

Mum left baby in drawer for 3 years, fed only weetabix and wot sits.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gz1dv8ly2o
"A mother who kept her baby daughter hidden in a drawer for the first three years of her life has been jailed for seven years and six months for "extreme neglect".
The girl, who prosecutors said had "never known daylight or fresh air", was only discovered when a visitor to their house in Cheshire heard her crying.
To protect the girl, neither she nor members of her family can be identified.
The girl's mother, who admitted four charges of child cruelty at a previous hearing, was sentenced at Chester Crown Court.
Judge Steven Everett said the woman had "starved that little girl of any love, any proper affection, any proper attention, any interaction with others, a proper diet, much-needed medical attention
“An intelligent little girl who is now perhaps slowly coming to life, from what was almost a living death in that room," he added.
The court was told the mother concealed the baby's presence from her siblings by hiding her in the drawer of her divan bed, and kept her secret from her partner, who often stayed at the house.
Rachel Worthington, from the Crown Prosecution Service, said the child did not respond to her own name when found, and had been left alone for long periods to "fend for herself" without enough food.
'Overwhelming horror' The court was told the girl was severely malnourished, to the point she looked like a seven-month-old baby and not a three-year-old child, and had been fed with milky Weetabix through a syringe.
She also had a cleft palate and several other medical issues which her mother had not sought treatment for.
The offences covered a period from early 2020 to early 2023, when the girl was discovered after a visitor to the home heard a noise upstairs and found her on the bed.
A social worker was called to the house after the discovery, and described her “overwhelming horror” at what she saw on entering the bedroom.
The child was found with matted hair, deformities and rashes."
