The thought of asking anyone on the internet to hurl vicious insults at me is inconceivable. But for Redditors posting in r/RoastMe, asking to be insulted is the name of the game.

As RoastMe's name suggests, the subreddit is devoted entirely to the not-so-subtle art of welcomed verbal abuse. Members of the group are invited to offer themselves up for extensive roasting, or they can do the roasting themselves—slinging jokes that range from gentle jabs to vicious insults.
