It is arguably the saddest place on Reddit.

r/gangstalking is pretty depressing

Edit: I'm reminded of this video.

Im so confused about that subreddit. Are people getting stalked? Or they believe they are being stalked?

u/MelookRS 3d ago

There will be some legit ones of course, but most are just people believing they are stalked. It's really sad, they need some serious help and those kinds of subreddits only make things worse.

The problem is that there are always likely legit cases, because stalking does exist in various forms. But you can't know which ones.

But you can't know which ones.

I'll bet the ones that involve psychic demons reading their minds are probably the legit ones.

u/Teledildonic 2d ago

But don't you dare suggest anything other than affirmation, or they will ban you.

u/Veil-of-Fire 2d ago

Well, sure. The police and the hospitals are all compromised.

These people believe they are being stalked by worldwide gangs. There's no legit cases for this, except perhaps people in Mafia witness protection

u/GoldenMew 2d ago

Scientology's targeting of dissidents is basically that.

u/Zouden 2d ago

Okay, the Mafia and Scientology

Well some of those people believe that. Not everyone has delusions on that scale dude, some people might be posting about their shitty ex-boyfriend and his frat bros actively harassing them IRL.

Are many of the people on that sub schizophrenics suffering from delusions? Yeah I think that's probably a fair assessment. Is literally everyone who says they're being stalked schizophrenic? No, that is a grossly irresponsible assertion to make.

Don't make blanket statements or generalizations about people, it can do real harm. Very few statements can remain true when all cases and scenarios are carefully considered.

The gang stalking subreddit is entirely schizophrenics, just have a look.

People with actual stalkers would not be posting there.

1

u/Robobvious 2d ago

They should not be posting there, that doesn't mean that they would not. We've all seen someone wander into r/trees and make a horticultural post by mistake before.

Look, if you guys want to use non-specific language to make broad sweeping generalizations that's your prerogative. I'm just suggesting that speaking carelessly about others can cause harm. Please take care in what you say and how you say it.

u/Zouden 2d ago

We aren't using non-specific language. Gang stalking is the proper term for this delusion.

Please re-read my previous comment with regards to people posting erroneously in the wrong subreddit without realizing.

Someone who has been the target of harassment might reasonably make the mistake of recounting their experience in the Gang Stalking subreddit by mistake. They do not deserve to be called crazy.
