This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.
This community exists for the following reasons:
- to raise awareness around the dangers, inefficiencies and injustice that can come from car dependence.
- to allow a place to discuss and promote more healthy transport methods and ways of living.
You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.
Rules
-
Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.
-
No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.
-
Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.
-
No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.
-
No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.
-
No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.
-
No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.
Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

Body shaming is not okay.
In this case it’s not about body shaming but about shaming a means of compensation. Also it’s not really a literal take. “Big dick energy” has nothing do with actual dick size. And being a “Karen” has nothing to with a persons actual name or gender.
Neither is trashing the climate with pointlessly big vehicles just to compensate for whatever insecurities they have. We need to either tax or regulate these stupid vehicles back to a reasonable and safe size.
You agree that body shaming is not okay and yet you contribute to it. Why?
We are criticizing the cult of toxic masculinity, not body types.
Wow hot take
But the body on right is so much bigger, and takes up so much wasted space!
The smaller body on the left is more fuel efficient too.
Plus, body shaming when you're ugly and useless like that is okay.
who did that?
Not sure if you're serious but i will answer as if you were.
A common attack against people with large trucks is that they have a large truck to compensate having a small penis. This implies having a small penis is bad/unacceptable. This is obvious body shaming but also contributes to toxic masculinity.
Both of these are unacceptable.
There are many alternative ways to talk shit without playing into these kinds of comments and TBH, the compensation comments have been used so much and are so obviously baseless that they don't hit very hard, IMO.
well, i didn't actually say that, and i'm not responsible for others filling in the blanks with their own negative thoughts. as you can see, several others actually managed to conclude something different.
don't blame the Rorschach test because you see something you don't like.
Disingenuous to the point of absurdity
that's exactly what blaming me for something i didn't say is
It was implicit. If you can't deal with being called out on your rhetoric, perhaps you shouldn't use it.
Body shaming is dumb and so is owning such a huge truck.
you're projecting your own insecurities onto me and making yourself angry over something you imagined. I a not to blame for things your imagination does.
work out your problems with a professional, not by attacking random internet strangers.
What percentage of people do you think would believe your current line of reasoning?
There are the facts, whether you like it or not. And I am not responsible for what other people believe. 
The facts? What are you referring to? I am simply asking a question about percentages. Are you imagining that my question was somehow related to an earlier post?
If you’re so lost that you can’t even maintain the thread of the conversation, I suggest you review the past comments to find your place. As for imaginings, you’re the only one who, as I just mentioned, can’t seem to keep track of the things anyone is saying here, making things up as you go along.
Are you suggesting that it is somehow possible to use context to understand what others are saying?
Apparently, you can’t.
Through what mechanism is that apparent? Inference? Surely I am not responsible for whatever random ideas pop into your head
Likewise, I am not responsible when others imagine I said something I didn’t. Thank you for making my point for me.
I’m glad we are both in complete agreement that it is definitely impossible for any meaning to be conveyed other than a literal interpretation of the exact words being used.
Your contribution to this discussion has been very valuable and I’m sure everyone is looking forward to hearing more from you
I never said that, but that’s never stopped you from pretending I did, or imagining any other contribution. Why bother for me to participate at all when you’re clearly capable of carrying on both of our parts by yourself?
Curious indeed
missed this part. at least we've proven you're not too clever.-
Oof ouch
don't hurt yourself trying to figure that one out.
I think by now your exposition may have harmed countless people in that manner
there you go, making up your stories again. see, you don't even need me here to carry on your fantasies.
The one thing I think everyone can agree on is that you don’t need to be here
oh, a new fantasy where you believe you're psychic.
if you don't like what i have to say, you're fee to leave or stop responding. are you capable of exercising that level of self-control? i suspect you're not.
I wish I could quit you
admitting you have a problem is the first step
Why are you suddenly talking about walking?
back to making up your stories again, i see. why even bother to involve me?
I thought we were friends :(
That is so sad
Makes me cry every time
I’ll keep that in mind
Living in your head rent free is what the kids are saying these days
It’s nice here. I think I’ll stay a while.
This is hilarious to read, my guy.
Listen, you said what you said. Own up to it and learn, or don't and move on. But you really don't have to sit there and dig yourself even more into the shit. You sound silly.
What sounds silly is people insisting I said something other than I did when my comments are right there for anyone to see.
Blocked. User has nothing useful to contribute and will argue in bad faith when called out.
At least I won’t be hearing anymore from you.
I didn't actually say it I just heavily implied it 🤓
