Some people are just gluttons for punishment, and a group of strangers have taken this to the next level, encouraging users to 'roast' them in a bizarre new internet trend sweeping Reddit.

有些人就是喜欢受虐，而一帮曾经素不相识的网友将其演绎到了新高度。近日，红迪网(Reddit)掀起了一股怪异风潮：鼓励其他用户来“挖苦自己。

A thread on the online viral community, sees brave users uploading selfies emblazoned with the words 'Roast Me', giving total strangers permission to criticize their appearance. And while some of the comments are dry and funny, others are highly personal and focus on the user's looks, facial expression, gender and race.

这个风靡网络的社区里有一个帖子，有勇气的用户上传自拍，附着“求侮辱的文字，让素昧平生的网友评论他们的外表。有些评论一语中的，让人捧腹;而有些评论则带有强烈的个人偏见，重点关注该用户的容貌、表情、性别乃至种族。

The trend may seem like a dubious excuse and platform for cyber-bullying, but the thread on the online community specifies that there are rules that must be obeyed to avoid having your contributions deleted. For those wanting to be 'roasted', which is a tradition of lampooning someone without mercy, they must upload a clear quality image of themselves, giving permission with a sign, reading 'RoastMe.'
