Reddit

== General Info ==
Reddit is the group responsible for the Reddit war, as well as the Reddit Takeover of America. They are in control of the U.S.R until the events of Act 5, and serve as the main villains of WYSI. Their leader is Big Chungus until his death in Act 4, and is then led by Big Dustus until he is defeated in Act 5. Before the Reddit takeover, the Redditors mostly lived in underground cave systems (as many of these earlier Redditors were Cave People). Afterwards, The Redditors were seen both above ground in the U.S and underground in its cave systems. They run the website Reddit, which contains lots of propaganda, forbidden knowledge, and other general information that much of the public would rather not see. They are feared and hated across the world, and are characterized by their constant warfare, brutal policies and utter disregard for life.
== History ==
=== Early History ===
The Redditors were originally a collection of several bands of Cave People, who lived underneath what is now the united states. Reddit society was a mix between feudal systems of tribute and a nomadic lifestyle as different groups ventured around the caves searching for moss to forage and bugs to eat. Often, Cave people would take and steal from those weaker than them. Eventually, the strongest among them instead provided protection to those who would provide them with food or riches. These stronger Redditors came known as 'Mods', and eventually formed small bands or kingdoms. This disjointed system led to much infighting over control of lands in the caves and 'Users' to whom gave tribute to these mods. As time went on, systems of class began to be developed based on 'Karma'. Essentially, when others respected or feared you due to strength, you would gain one karma. If you feared someone or they successfully threatened you, you would lose one karma. This system decided if someone was a simple User (similar to peasants) or if they were soldiers, officers, or important bureaucrats. If someone amassed more karma than the highest mod in the realm, they would have backing to take the kingdom for themselves, or carve out their own kingdom from a part of the old one.
Outside of some skirmishes with the Sewer people, they often didn't concern themselves with other species. This all changed, however, when Big Chungus began to unify the cave people in 1692. By 1695, a majority of the Cave people had joined their cause. Big Chungus named their new group "Reddit", a pun on the words "I read it on reddit". No one to this day understands what this was supposed to mean, as they were not known for their reading. Eventually, the Redditors would ally themselves with the Sewer people, and they would rule the Caves together.
=== Reddit Expansion and the Reddit War ===
Now united, the Redditors were more easily able to expand their reach deeper and further into the cave systems. Over the next 100 or so years, they began conquests of the deeper cave people (those who were more accustomed to cave life, and often had descendants in the caves for far longer). The Redditors reasoned that any that did not accept their views and ways were undeserving of their lands, and with this justified the conquest of many other cave species (such as the mole people, cave elephants, and any 'cave people' that had rejected Reddit customs). These peoples would be terrorized by redditors, however they would all eventually be assimilated (except the mole people; many had used their digging skills to escape to newer tunnels). Their first major enemy was the Dwarves, who used their superior mining skills and bravery to fend off the Redditors, and remain unconquered to this day.
Eventually, however, the Redditors had crossed the Atlantic Ocean and discovered the United Kingdom. While many suggested they retreat further into the caves to avoid their 'weak' society and values from corrupting Reddit ways of life, Big Chungus had other plans. He began to plan and prepare for a full scale invasion, establishing a 'surface kingdom' in which the Redditors would all become 'mods' for the weak surface people, and eventually extned their reach over all the world and establish many 'subreddits' to be ruled from their great 'Surface Kingdom'. Hearing this, the Redditors (and especially elites who held promise of modhood over humans) supported this cause. This led to the Reddit War (1851-1854).
However, although the war initially went well, and Big Chungus had even began to declare their victory imminent; the superior numbers they had depended on had begun to whittle as the Redditors began to run out of warriors. Even when loosening the 'karma' requirements to be advanced into the soldier and officer classes, the Redditors found themselves in a tough position. This, combined with restructuring of British military staff during 1854, better technology and tactics developed by the British throughout 1853, and the eventual disastrous 'Summer counter-offensive' of 1854, it was clear that the Redditors were not close to victory. This led Big Chungus to strike for the 'head of the snake' in the Battle of London on November 11th. This resounding defeat crushed the Reddit army, and led Big Chungus to leave Britain in shame and defeat after Pickle Rick went up his asshole. Worse still, many Redditors erroneously believed that the British forces were close to defeat, causing many to splinter off and remain in England, becoming P.O.R.N. After this, Big Chungus struggled to keep his realm in the caves together, as many rebellions, raids from the dwarves, and failed coups had kept the redditors unstable. This period largely lasted until the 1960s in some form, and haulted their expansion until at least the year 2000. Ever resilient, however, the redditors persisted.
=== Creation of the Reddit Website and the Takeover of America ===
In the 2000s, the Redditors developed a repository of knowledge based on the surface's 'internet'. This, they named after themselves. The Reddit website was a large collection of Reddit Knowledge, and allowed the Redditors to quickly spread forbidden knowledge to further their cause. Confident in their strength after this, Big Chungus began to prepare for an invasion of their immediate surface, the United States. In 2011, the Redditors fought hard, and were quickly able to overwhelm the American forces with their brutal tactics and otherworldly weaponry. After taking over America, Big Chungus focused on striking fear and chaos into the American streets, thus keeping them unable to organize against him. One notable group attempting to free America from Reddit is F.A.R.T, the Forest-dwellers Against Reddit Takeover, which seeks to topple the Reddit regime and re-institute democracy in North America.
=== Death of Big Chungus ===
On September 23rd, 2018, Big Chungus began to chase down and kill the Prince of England Yannytord and his friends. While initially capturing them, they are able to escape at his gameshow and enlist the help of Bodil. The Redditors then attacked and burned Minecraftia castle, briefly occupying the capital of the Republic of Bodil. Big Chungus, his husband Alastor and General Oz continued to chase them through south Africa, but are unable to catch them as they sail west to America. They are eventually captured in september of the next year, but General Oz allows them to escape. On September 23rd, 2019, Big Chungus is attacked by the main 8, and is unable to hold them off. While he kills Strange to attempt to strike sorrow into the hearts of Tit Smirnov and Yannytord, they kill him in revenge, thus ending Big Chungus's reign and weakening Reddit's grasp on America.
=== Reign of Big Dustus ===
Big Dustus began his rule after the death of his father when he was merely a child. Helped along by higher ups in Reddit (along with the care from his father AngelDust), Big Dustus is able to grow up to be a powerful conqueror, and is finally able to succeed in invading Canada and Friday Night Farmland where his father had failed. He again is able to capture the main 8 as his father did (with the exception of Strange), but is stopped by their children in Act 5.
=== Fall of Reddit ===
After the events of Act 5, Reddit's control over the Americas fully fades, and the world returns to some sort of normal after the initial reddit takeover. While some groups of Redditors continue to act as paramilitaries and terrorists throughout the world, they are mostly small groups unable to achieve anything of note. The knowledge of Reddit eventually fades into a horrible memory as the people of the world are finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. Also, fucking Slenderman becomes president of the united states.
