Subreddit for the Netflix show The OA

#Rules Hover over the boxes to get more details. All detailed infos here in this post

1. [Spoiler] General

Many people come to this sub who are still in the process of watching the show. The last thing we want to do is ruin the entire season for them because we got careless. So always include spoiler tags [spoiler](#s "insert spoiler here") in comments to prevent ruining scenes or episodes for new viewers.

###2. [Spoiler] Title

In the same vein as Rule 1, we don't want to ruin a show for someone because they see a specific title that addresses a scene they haven't seen yet. If you have a certain scene you'd like to discuss, keep the title post vague and include [Spoiler] in the title. All posts that have a spoiler as a title will be removed.

###3. [Spoiler] Thumbnail

You get the idea, y'all. No spoilers without proper tagging.

###4. Harassment or Bullying

Since this show addresses some sensitive, controversial, and deep topics, there are bound to be disagreements. While we respect everyone's right to an opinion and encourage healthy discussion, we will NOT condone name-calling, insulting, belittling, or berating of other users in any way. THIS INCLUDES: cringy, delusional, unhealthy, comparisons to cults/QAnon, or any related attack. We will give ZERO warning. You will be IMMEDIATELY banned. Length of said ban is determined by mod discretion.

###5. Duplicates

Out of courtesy to the other users here, and in an attempt to avoid clutter, we ask that you please remember to use the search function before creating a new thread. In the event you'd like to reopen an Archived Post - simply make sure the intended title is labeled as a, 'Repost.'

###6. Low-effort Posts

Due to the complexity of the show, we encourage discussion among each other. Since low-effort posts are easy to create, they often drown out topics that deserve attention. Therefore, please refrain from posting memes, jokes, one-dimensional statements and the like.

###7. No Mental Health Advice

We've declared this sub to be a Judgment Free Zone™️. So comments about mental health, suggestions to seek help, or any other types of armchair psychiatry will be removed. A violation may result in a ban at mod discretion

###8. Unrelated Persons

We understand that this show is complex, and, as such, requires analysis. But keep said analysis to cast and crew only, or people who specifically mention The OA. Social media posts from or information about family of the crew or random people with similar names to characters will be removed.

###9. Follow Rules of Reddit

Including Reddiquette and Content Policy

###10. No Piracy

Requests for or links to streams/torrents/etc. will be removed.
