c/Xporn when X is not sexual. Like r/foodporn, r/earthporn, or r/animalporn.
This isn't a Reddit thing, it's just the English language evolving. The term started in the 1970s. It's present on all major social media platforms.

they are not that bad
So dumb. There's already a c/foodporn but hopefully it stops there.
What would be the name it should use instead?
Foodpics?
basically yeah, maybe it's not as funny as calling them "Xporn" but I don't see why only picture subs need to have juvenile meme names
it's not too bad when it's a silly one-off thing like "foodporn" but by the time we go full Reddit and get to "animal porn" then we've clearly gone too far
Theoretically, something like c/deliciousfood or c/foodpics. I don't have strong feelings on this issue, but there are alternative names that would work.
unixporn already there. But tbh I don't mind these naming conventions
already in my blocklist
