'Cursed Comments' is one of those niche subreddits that have become an integral part of internet culture. Even though the community is relatively young even by online standards, it has already attracted over 3 million members and has been featured in various media outlets. (Bored Panda has also covered it here, here, and here.)
It's difficult to pinpoint what a cursed comment actually is. There are just too many forms it can appear in. According to the subreddit's 'About' section, however, the best way of defining it is probably a statement that gets you to think along the lines of "What the f$k did I just read?" and leaves you speechless while also somehow makes sense.
But the best part is that the incomprehension of the comment you just read (or the blatant gruesomeness of it) is also enough to draw a smile on your face.
Pewdiepie said 'Cursed Comments' is the worst subreddit. But is it really? Can it simultaneously be the best one too? In a couple of days, on April 10th, the community will celebrate its 4th birthday, so we decided it's the perfect time to revisit it and show you some of its recent top posts.

"You see what happened to Appendix? I'm not pissing this guy off"
We managed to get in touch with the moderators of 'Cursed Comments' and one of them agreed to tell us more about the inner workings of their subreddit.
"I think people like it because all throughout the internet, you run across some odd images or videos, and this content may provoke thoughts that you wouldn’t dare say—but someone else did say it," the mod told Bored Panda.
"It's one giant vault of the internet's best (worst?) cursed comments."

The person looking after the sub said the community is "a group of people who find amusement in seeing the wild and unspoken comments out in the vast depths of the internet that would probably go unnoticed and ignored" if it didn't exist.
They're the heroes we didn't know we need. Many of the gems you see in this list have gotten only a handful of likes on the platforms they were originally posted on and most likely would have perished if it wasn't for these folks.
"They aren't always the most sensible comments, but they are interesting nonetheless."

There should be at least one random non-athlete in each event, just to shut up everyone at home yelling at the tv that they’d be so much better at it.

"Over the course of our history as a subreddit, we grew naturally for a long time and became a rather large community [on our own, but] then PewDiePie made his first video [about us], and we exploded in popularity," the mod recalled.
"It's been an amazing journey watching and helping grow a community like this, and having one of the largest YouTubers in the world make videos on it is pretty incredible."

But more members also mean more problems. "It's become more difficult to moderate a sub of such scale, and we deal with a lot of mod harassment/abuse, people who want to disrupt the flow of things and make our lives harder."
"Often, the people who decide to verbally abuse us are just angry because we removed their post/comment or banned them," the mod explained.

"We once even had a user who manually DMed every single moderator of our team individually with a message purely consisting of the n-word and no more."
The moderator said that every Reddit community has at least a few bad apples, but "due to the nature of our subreddit, it tends to be worse than some others."

For better or worse, the internet has become the last place where you can make such comments as few risk saying these things to people in public.
Even before the infamous incident between Will Smith and Chris Rock at the Oscars, the most dangerous thing that a comedian has to face today is offending political correctness.

Last year, Jennifer Saunders' take on the matter made headlines in the likes of Mail Online (“Jennifer Saunders says Absolutely Fabulous wouldn't be commissioned today in Britain's 'woke' culture").
The closest Saunders had come to saying that was the vague assertion that people "talk themselves out of stuff now because everything is sensitive."
But in the past, she was more direct. "People are so politically correct now," she said in 2017. "You can’t even get away [with playing] a politically incorrect character, because that is seen as being politically incorrect."
"Everyone's down on everyone for everything."

Comedy gives us a break from everyday challenges. So if cursed comments help you to escape existential dread, who cares if you're laughing at them or not?
They're just someone's random thoughts that escaped through their fingers into the ocean of the internet without any harmful intentions. (At least I hope so.)

Never assume someone either can’t hear you or won’t hear about it later.
I hope you die was probably out of kindness though. Better dead than a vegetable.

That's so horrible! And it's known that people probably can hear during comas....
That's for sure true. Had a fam member on life support many years ago ( she went on to be an ER nurse after being in a coma and re-learning her life), but someone in the hospital while she was on life support asked, "what are we doing this for?" They thought she was un-salvageable... The doctor went off and said "you never say that! They can hear you!!! She will give up!!!" This was 1980's... what that Dr said, has stuck with me my entire life, and it saved hers. I remembered this while working in LTAC... And, for sure, some patients can hear you; don't give them a reason to give up!

IMO, I think people in comas should receive physical therapy to keep muscles in (some kind) of shape in case they wake up.
That's what we do, but it's nearly impossible to prevent contractures after a point sadly. And there's a difference between types of comas; some the brain is intact, and others it's not.
Load More Replies... This is why it's good to have a DNR or Living Will... Don't leave it up to fam that don't know what to do; I'm pretty sure you can download most of these forms online.
Yeah my mom told me she wished I wasn't born a couple times. I reminded her if a thing called abortions that she could have taken advantage of. Maybe small things would be different now. We'll never know 😄
That's disgusting I am so sorry she said that and I hope she regrets it

I guess that depends on the context really - I mean, I don't want my kids, or myself got that matter, to be stuck in a coma for an indefinite period of time - after a while I'm sure you would feel that it would be kinder to let them go and to be able to rest in peace rather than stuck in limbo. She may very well have said it in a kind way of I hope you die and are released from this rather than meaning she was being cruel. If I end up in a coma I've told my husband to give it a year, if I'm still in the same situation then just let me die - i don't want stuck in a bed possibly being able to hear but not move or communicate and if I did wake up years down the line it's not like I'd snap back to who I was, i would likely need to relearn much of my daily skills like walking, feeding myself etc
My mom put it in writing that she hopes & wants me to die a slow & horrific death with tons of pain, all alone. She hates me.
Sitting with my cousin/best friend who was comatose from a fall while her 2 kids argued (1 is on speaker phone) over when to remove her life support. It was horrifying, I hope she didn't hear them. I was holding her hand when she passed.
yeah people comas are often said to hear lots of things. I think that's how they got Stevie Wonder to wake up from his coma(after many tries, someone was playing one of his songs and that's what he said he heard. I think that's the story).
So, it wasn't a coma or a vegetative state. It is called Locked In Syndrome. Your mind is fully functional, but your body isn't.

And this is why I am here - for the comments. This one was a particularly rich seam of comedic gold. Thank you fellow Pandas
Came for the post, stayed for everyone's comments. This is why I love BP, everyone here is awesome! I needed an ambulance at least 3 times though.
This is why I absolutely love Reddit: everyone lets their personality shine, will crack a world-class joke, offer supportive advice, and give you something to think about.

Not dark humor. I hate to see what junk was on here. I looked at 3 o4 and quit. Yes, I'm old and biased against bad language & bad stories. Sue me!!
