For anyone that is looking for "real" philosophy, and only "real" philosophy.

r/RealPhilosophy

/r/philosophy has been overrun by people that merely enjoy philosophy, this subreddit is dedicated to drab, dull, boring philosophy papers, books, and discussions that only "real" philosophers will care about. If you don't want to read a 1000 word treatise on "why belly button lint is an analogy for free will" DO NOT SUBSCRIBE. Only "serious" philosophical works will be entertained here. No one is allowed to have fun here! You are just allowed to think!
