Rule summary
- Focus on Conspiracies and Absurdism - No Fan Content, Not a Snark Sub: This is a sub for tongue-in-cheek conspiracies and absurdist discussion about children's media. Posts should contribute to analysis from an adult perspective. NOT A SNARK SUB. NOT allowed: Traditional fan content (fanart, fanfic), pure nostalgia posts without comedic/conspiracy elements, "kids these days" complaints about modern shows, unironic fan celebrations 1st violation gets a removal + warning. Repeated or extreme violations may lead to a ban at the mod team's discretion.
- Conspiracies, Mild Shitposting, and General Discussions are Encouraged: So what's allowed? Light and silly conspiracy theories and absurd humor (obviously), dark humor that doesn't violate the Creeper rule (no overtly sexual/snuff content), artwork specifically illustrating conspiracies, such as anatomical diagrams of Thomas the Tank Engine's skeleton, mild shitposting (make us laugh you animals), general discussion about specific episodes, shows, characters from an adult perspective, and sharing or asking for recommendations so you don't absolutely lose your mind
- No Low-Effort Posts, including AI generated content: If you’re going to post in the sub, make an effort and make a quality contribution! No AI-generated content, YouTube links, image posts with no commentary, "I hate [insert show] because it sucks!", extremely tired and old reposted topics, etc. We're here for silly, tongue-in-cheek, absurdist, high-level discussion of children's media.
- When You Feel So Mad That You Want to Roar, Take a Deep Breath and Count to Four!: Don’t be a jerk. Make an effort to be a decent person to others. No hate speech, slurs, bigotry, trolling, etc. Posts and comments that come across as trolling, hateful, provocative or obnoxious will be deleted and may result in a ban for repeat offenders. Threads that devolve into name-calling back-and-forth or lengthy litigious arguments that would be more at home in /r/changemymind will be locked and all comments within the thread will be deleted. Can’t we all just… get along?
- Don't Be A Creep!: Most of the characters in the shows discussed here are MINORS (or are assumed to be children/child-like). Any overtly sexual or gruesome posts comments about characters (especially the ones under 18) will be deleted. Repeated or heinous offenders will be banned. Remember, these are KID'S shows! Don't be gross.
- No Political Commentary.: Keeping rules 2, 3, and 5 in mind, let’s also avoid having political discussions or associating politics to the characters in the shows being discussed. While conspiracies are obviously encouraged, please don’t try and equate any conspiracies to real-world politics.
- Follow Reddit TOS: Self-explanatory.
- Save the Drama for Your Llama!: Please refrain from creating drama by posting about other members of the sub or dragging drama from other subs into this one.
Works well
- A written conspiracy theory about why Daniel Tiger always changes his shoes, framed as an adult perspective on the show.
- A text post asking other parents what kids show keeps them sane, framed as a recommendation request so you do not lose your mind.
- A general discussion post about a specific episode of a kids show, written from an adult perspective with some absurdist humor.
- A piece of artwork that illustrates a conspiracy, like a diagram of a cartoon character's skeleton, paired with written commentary explaining the theory.
Avoid
- Do not post AI generated content, as the rule "No Low-Effort Posts, including AI generated content" bans it entirely.
- Do not post YouTube links, since the same low effort rule calls them out as not allowed.
- Do not post an image without commentary, because the low effort rule treats image posts with no commentary as removable.
- Do not include sexual or gruesome details about child characters, since the rule "Don't Be A Creep!" will get that content deleted and may get you banned.
- Do not post traditional fan content like fanart or fanfic, because the rule "Focus on Conspiracies and Absurdism - No Fan Content, Not a Snark Sub" does not allow it.
- Do not post pure nostalgia without a comedic or conspiracy angle, as the focus rule removes that type of post.
What r/DanielTigerConspiracy Is For
This is a community for parents and anyone else who watches little kid shows like Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood. People come here to post tongue in cheek conspiracy theories, absurd jokes, and funny interpretations of children's media from an adult perspective. It is a place to laugh about the shows your kids are hooked on without losing your mind.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule that decides whether your post survives is "Focus on Conspiracies and Absurdism - No Fan Content, Not a Snark Sub". It tells you the sub is for tongue in cheek conspiracies and absurdist discussion about children's media from an adult perspective. The next rule that matters is "Conspiracies, Mild Shitposting, and General Discussions are Encouraged". It spells out what is allowed, like light conspiracy theories, dark humor that does not break the creeper rule, artwork that illustrates conspiracies, and general discussion about episodes, shows, or characters. The rule "No Low-Effort Posts, including AI generated content" is the one that will catch a lazy post. It bans AI content, YouTube links, image posts with no commentary, and tired reposted topics. The rule "Don't Be A Creep!" is critical because the characters are minors or child like, and any sexual or gruesome content will be deleted and can lead to a ban. The rule "No Political Commentary." keeps real world politics out of the sub entirely.
What To Post
A good post here is a written, high effort piece that takes a children's show seriously enough to build a silly or absurd theory about it. You could write a conspiracy about a specific episode, a character, or a show, as long as it is tongue in cheek and comes from an adult perspective. You could also share a recommendation for another kids show to help other parents stay sane, or start a general discussion about an episode from an adult point of view. The key is to make people laugh and to put real thought into what you write.
What To Avoid
You will get removed or banned if you post traditional fan content like fanart or fanfic, or pure nostalgia with no comedic or conspiracy element. The focus rule is clear that complaints about modern shows and unironic fan celebrations are not allowed. You will also get removed for low effort posts, including AI generated content, YouTube links, and images with no commentary. The creep rule will get you banned if you post anything sexual or gruesome about the child characters. The rule "No Political Commentary." means you should not bring real world politics into your theories. The rule "Save the Drama for Your Llama!" means you should not post about other members or drag drama from other subs into this one.
