With so many things seemingly wrong and unjust with modern-day society, we can sometimes feel overwhelmed, outraged, and want to rebel in some way. Well, some people protest and tell the system to go fudge itself in very creative and polite ways—by deploying forms of mild vandalism. Meanwhile, others find that gentle vandalism is the best way for them to spread some cheer where it’s needed the most.

That’s where the r/MildlyVandalised subreddit comes in. The 344k-member-strong online community documents and celebrates instances of raging against the machine in a calm, orderly, and (usually) controlled manner. 

Scroll down for some funny, endearing, and (yes!) even heart-warming cases of mild vandalism. Don’t forget to upvote the photos that you enjoyed looking at the most, dear Pandas. And if you’re in the mood for some more artistic rebellion, then we cordially invite you to take a peek at Bored Panda’s previous article about the awesome r/MildlyVandalised community right over here.

I'm far from a religious person, but I'm pretty sure in almost all sacred texts God says "love one another," with no specification whatsoever

I will never not love this photo! Some religious leaders have to be the most condescending people ever. They "preach" love and tolerance yet spread so much hate and vitriol to specific groups who lifestyles and beliefs clash against their's.

No. Straight up good genius. These guys get the Christian ethos far more than that "church". Imagine what that hellhole is teaching children. Next generation of Trumpistas, coming up!

That's not menacing. That's the look of a job well done, against horrendous odds, against people who would condemn innocents to burn for no fault save who they love. If there was a follow up of that hero busting the faithful in the mouth, it'd be perfect.

Ah-HEM To the people writing the sign… please refer to mark chapter 12 verses 29-31(the one I’m citing is in the NIV) which clearly states in verse 31 that the 2nd most important commandment is to love your neighbor as yourself. Also, your neighbor means the people you interact in any way with, regardless of their background or anything like that

AHEM, why is it that religious bigots like yourself never seem to have actually read and comprehend the Bible? Stop twisting Bible verses to your nasty, homophobic views. It isn’t a good look. You might want to read: 1 John 3:15 and. Also didn’t God tell us: “Love thy neighbor?”

I can't believe that anyone would think this is funny. Everyone in this country has a right to both free speech and freedom of religion. Those rights are for people you agree with and people you disagree with. Bored Panda should reconsider posting segments that glorify property damage as a form of entertainment.

Here is the thing, homosexuality is sin, but one thing Christians don't fully understand is that God still loves people in the LGBTQ community just as much as everyone else and should be treated likewise.

The Best Vandalism

The Best Vandalism

stares_at_rain Report

During a previous interview with my colleague, a couple of the r/MildlyVandalised subreddit’s moderators opened up a bit about the community and the content that they share.

One of the moderators, redditor DoxBox explained what lies at the core of the photos shared on their subreddit. "Mild vandalism is vandalism that is humorous but not overly damaging," they explained to Bored Panda that comedy without the damage is essential.

First time I saw the "push button take bacon" tag on one of these around 20 years ago I spent 5 minutes laughing hysterically in a mall public restroom with people staring at me, looking at the tag and mildly chuckling. I looked like a mad woman and to make things worse I was in my barn clothes.

"Regular vandalism is costly to fix and malicious in intent. The sub is about mostly-harmless but humorous vandalism intended to make people laugh,” the moderator explained to us during an earlier interview.

Meanwhile, another moderator, redditor Awesomesprime, noted that the subreddit reacts to the news and current world events. For instance, at the time, the 2020 United States presidential elections were on pretty much everyone’s minds.

"Recently, political posts have been at the top, but [they still] have to be funny and clever. Those seem to be the ones that make it the highest," they noted what was popular at the time.

"Posts do well the funnier they are, with the caveat that Reddit's usual issues do sometimes interfere. Posting the same post at different times can have different results," moderator DoxBox pointed out that some posts don’t always go viral because the timing might not be right or due to other less-than-obvious reasons.

The subreddit has been celebrating mild and humorous vandalism all the way since October 2015. And it looks like it’ll keep going strong so long as there are rebels out there who know that using their imagination and creativity can be just as powerful (if not more so!) than vandalising property in rage.

The sub’s mods note that the images people post have to be about mild vandalism, without any costly property damage. What’s more, they stress that the vandalism can’t be racist and that all the community members have to be polite to each other.

Meanwhile, reposts are discouraged if they’re newer than three months. What’s more, street art doesn’t actually count as vandalism. While bathroom graffiti belongs on another subreddit, namely, r/ToiletDoodles.

Bored Panda spoke to Professor Suzanne Degges-White, a Licensed Counselor and Chair at the Department of Counseling and Higher Education at Northern Illinois University about anger and its pros and cons.

According to her, even though anger can lead to social change, it can also greatly harm us if we can’t control it or learn to let go.

“While being angry can lead to social change and begin to topple barriers and other aspects of injustice, we also know that anger isn't going to be the best choice to build alliances or convince others of the need for change,” the professor noted.

“Finding common ground is essential in making true, collaborative change. This requires us to let go of anger, whether that is finding a way to sublimate it or overcome it, or just put it aside for the time being.

The black death of the 1340s and 1350s killed an estimated 75 - 200 million. It is estimated about 30% of the worlds population at that time. With an estimated world population of 7,935,000,000 30% is 2,380,500,000. With an estimated 6.1 million deaths from covid-19, 6.1 million is about 0.25% of the way to becoming the world's deadliest pandemic. Stay in school!
