50 Pics Of Mild Vandalism That People Cheered For In This Dedicated Online Group (New Pics)
For years, we've associated vandalism with sticking it to the proverbial man and challenging those in power. But what if I told you that vandalism can also be funny, wholesome, and sometimes even... cute?
One online community, r/MildlyVandalised, celebrates kitten ears drawn on the stick figures on road signs and funny scribblings on Cybertrucks. They're all for vandalism, but only when it's funny, well-intended, and harmless.
Here we have for you the newest set of posts from the subreddit. These are pics about the times people embellished signs, other people's yards, or some public property for laughs, some wholesome "awws," or to teach bigots a lesson. So, get into the spirit of polite vandalism and check them out!

I'm not religious but it seems to me there are more denominations of Christianity that find evolution perfectly compatible with their teachings than ones that don't. Naturally, as always, these "evolution as a lie" weirdos just happen to be the loudest.

That's how all fairy stories start, and this is the biggest one of all.
The word "vandalism" has pretty bad connotations. When we think of vandalism, we probably think of destruction and effacement of public property, done by teenage delinquents or hooligans. But did you know that the history of the term comes from the 5th century Western Roman Empire?
That's right – not punks or anarchists, but a German tribe known as the Vandals were the first ones to earn the title. As they would pillage, loot, and devastate Rome as they moved across Europe, the name of Vandals took root in the collective memory of civilizations.

Nice to see that even though the Tangerine Toddler has declared English to the the US's "official language" that the person included it translated into both Italian and Spanish.
The Vandals weren't senseless barbarians, though. Today, we associate their name with the destruction of public property because they sacked Rome in 455. They maintained their own kingdom in North Africa, had a strong warrior culture, polytheistic faith, and traditions.
The term "vandalisme" was first used in France during the Revolution. French Catholic priest Henri Grégoire used the term to describe the destruction of art in his day and age. He chose "vandalism" because the acts reminded him of the destructive nature of the German tribe.

Some Polite, Temporary Graffiti By Canadians On A Cybertruck

The thing that really gets me is that prior to Tesla's reputation crashing and burning much like the cybertruck, Tesla's cars were notable for being much less blocky and more stylish than prior generations of electric vehicles. Like, "hey, look, EVs can look GOOD!" And then they made this. Just... what. It looks like a bunch of polygons that haven't finished rendering properly!

Load More Replies... Vandalizing works of art has been an act of rebellion in the past, too. In 1871 France, painter Gustave Courbet and his group tore down the Colonne Vendôme in Paris as an act of political protest. The column symbolized the rule of Napoleon III and his authoritarian empire. Ironically, officials later ordered Courbet to pay for putting the column back up.

In recent years, vandalism, especially in the form of graffiti, has begun to be associated with art. In 2014, a whopping 69% of Americans said that graffiti could be art, and only 23% were vehemently against it. Still, that doesn't mean that people don't think graffiti is vandalism. Even 43% of respondents from the same survey believed that all graffiti is vandalism.

In an ironic twist of fate, the vandal's artwork in the streets gets vandalized, too. Just last year, his newest mural in London was defaced with white paint only two days after it appeared. Many of his other works have been damaged in one way or another as well, as there is even a comprehensive list on Wikipedia of all Banksy's works damaged or destroyed.

There's another upside to Banksy's "vandalism": the property that he "defaces" increases wildly in value. Some have even gone as far as to accuse him of gentrifying neighborhoods in London. In one case, the owners of a Los Angeles building with a Banksy mural on it claim that the artwork increased its value by $14 million.

What’s this store this time? It happened at a Famous Footwear near me and I was almost tempted to apply. Almost - but I have lymphoma and it’s a bad idea for me to be around people so much. When John Oliver did a show on Dollar Stores he talked about one that had one employee and she just closed up shop one day. (He also covered how much of a bad deal they are. I go to one next to a lousy Goodwill (not)thrift shop sometimes when I need a salty snack or something to put my electrolytes in.)

The debate over whether street art is vandalism can get tricky. We've seen great artists emerge from the street art scene in the past (Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, we're looking at you). But we've also seen great works of art damaged and defaced in an act of rebellion and defiance.
"Graffiti, at its core, is both vandalism and art. In my opinion, graffiti is 100% art and 100% vandalism," Henry Zhou, a student artist in Los Angeles, California, told Yale Daily News. Truly, why can't it be both?

Not legit , probably real though https://www.snopes.com/news/2025/02/10/genital-verification-dfw-airport-sign/ That Imgur user correctly described the matter as a "troll," in that the sign displayed a phone number for the office line of Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick. The Dallas Observer publication reported the matter existed as a "prank," likely in reference to the past efforts of Patrick, a Republican, to promote legislative restrictions on transgender bathroom usage. By email, Cynthia Vega, the media relations manager for DFW Airport, told Snopes, "This is not a DFW-produced or authorized sign, and we have no information about its origins. However, we are investigating to ensure that none is posted, and we will remove any unauthorized signs if found."

More than likely bought before Trump was in office. And to vandal someone's car that they paid hard earned money for is not only bad for the environment, but so is the spray paint they used. What if they can not handle the cost of a different EV? People need to think before they do this. I have a friend that bought a reg tesla before all this happened and it was vandalized. She bought it because it was easier to find plug ins and she wanted to help the environment. Just makes no sense to me.
