With so many things seemingly wrong and unjust with modern-day society, we can sometimes feel overwhelmed, outraged, and want to rebel in some way. Well, some people protest and tell the system to go fudge itself in very creative and polite ways—by deploying forms of mild vandalism. Meanwhile, others find that gentle vandalism is the best way for them to spread some cheer where it’s needed the most.

That’s where the r/MildlyVandalised subreddit comes in. The 344k-member-strong online community documents and celebrates instances of raging against the machine in a calm, orderly, and (usually) controlled manner. 

Scroll down for some funny, endearing, and (yes!) even heart-warming cases of mild vandalism. Don’t forget to upvote the photos that you enjoyed looking at the most, dear Pandas. And if you’re in the mood for some more artistic rebellion, then we cordially invite you to take a peek at Bored Panda’s previous article about the awesome r/MildlyVandalised community right over here.

During a previous interview with my colleague, a couple of the r/MildlyVandalised subreddit’s moderators opened up a bit about the community and the content that they share.

One of the moderators, redditor DoxBox explained what lies at the core of the photos shared on their subreddit. "Mild vandalism is vandalism that is humorous but not overly damaging," they explained to Bored Panda that comedy without the damage is essential.

"Regular vandalism is costly to fix and malicious in intent. The sub is about mostly-harmless but humorous vandalism intended to make people laugh,” the moderator explained to us during an earlier interview.

Meanwhile, another moderator, redditor Awesomesprime, noted that the subreddit reacts to the news and current world events. For instance, at the time, the 2020 United States presidential elections were on pretty much everyone’s minds.

"Recently, political posts have been at the top, but [they still] have to be funny and clever. Those seem to be the ones that make it the highest," they noted what was popular at the time.

"Posts do well the funnier they are, with the caveat that Reddit's usual issues do sometimes interfere. Posting the same post at different times can have different results," moderator DoxBox pointed out that some posts don’t always go viral because the timing might not be right or due to other less-than-obvious reasons.

The subreddit has been celebrating mild and humorous vandalism all the way since October 2015. And it looks like it’ll keep going strong so long as there are rebels out there who know that using their imagination and creativity can be just as powerful (if not more so!) than vandalising property in rage.

#15 What'll It Be Today?

The sub’s mods note that the images people post have to be about mild vandalism, without any costly property damage. What’s more, they stress that the vandalism can’t be racist and that all the community members have to be polite to each other.

Meanwhile, reposts are discouraged if they’re newer than three months. What’s more, street art doesn’t actually count as vandalism. While bathroom graffiti belongs on another subreddit, namely, r/ToiletDoodles.

Bored Panda spoke to Professor Suzanne Degges-White, a Licensed Counselor and Chair at the Department of Counseling and Higher Education at Northern Illinois University about anger and its pros and cons.

According to her, even though anger can lead to social change, it can also greatly harm us if we can’t control it or learn to let go.

“Constant anger can lead to metabolic diseases, cardiovascular problems, and digestive issues. For some people, health concerns are the reason that they may learn to let go of anger,” she explained to Bored Panda very recently.

“While being angry can lead to social change and begin to topple barriers and other aspects of injustice, we also know that anger isn't going to be the best choice to build alliances or convince others of the need for change,” the professor noted.

“Finding common ground is essential in making true, collaborative change. This requires us to let go of anger, whether that is finding a way to sublimate it or overcome it, or just put it aside for the time being.
