A community featuring uplifting and wholesome news stories that overlook deeply ingrained systemic problems.

The rules:

1. Your post must be an unironic presentation of a wholesome story, but one that overlooks systemic failures that made the story possible in the first place. In other words, we want posts that highlight “Yay, the problem is solved!”, but ignore “Wait, why was this a problem in the first place?” at the same time.

2. Re-posts will be removed at mod discretion.

3. Sitewide rules apply. Basically, (a) don’t be a dick; (b) use the NSFW tag; © no spam; (d) don’t attack people; and (e) don’t abuse the report button.
