USED TO BE that people were afraid of becoming the internet’s next slagging target. Now, they’re actually asking for a roasting.
r/RoastMe is a new subreddit that’s going massively viral this week – the premise is simple: Just put up a picture of yourself, and invite people to insult you.
But before you encourage people to insult your boss, or your sister-in-law, or whoever it is you’d love to roast – the whole point is that people submit themselves for a slagging.
Roastees must prove, usually by holding up a handwritten sign, that they’re up for it.
Most of the insults are good-natured, if EXTREMELY cutting – though, as this is the internet, it can get a little rough and raw sometimes.
Here are some of sickest burns so far.
Are you brave enough to seek out a roasting? (We know we’re not.)
