Circumcision is a fucking WILD one that seems to send this entire goddamn website into a frenzy every time. Like fuck me that my parents got me one as a baby and I don’t hate them or go foaming at the mouth about the process any time the topic is even remotely touched upon, right?
As a fellow circum baby, I completely agree with you. Being circumcised has affected my life in literally no way whatsoever, let alone negatively lol. I could literally not care less. But thanks, Reddit, for telling me I have a mutilated genital and stuff and saying I have horrible parents I guess?
Like a lot of reddit hivemind stuff, I think it starts as a valid societal criticism, and then it snowballs into a tribal "us vs them" thing. Like they're supposedly advocating for kids who got circumcised without their consent, but then they start shitting on/ shaming those same people.
There are absolutely topics that attract certain crowds to certain threads, but by and large the site operates on a post by post basis in terms of opinions. I've seen the same post on different weeks in the same subreddit have very different sentiments in the comments. A super common one is age gaps, people love to say that Reddit hates them but it is genuinely a 50/50 toss up on how people will react to it in any given thread. People really don't understand that the first 10 comments tend to set the discussion trend for the entire thread, with very few exceptions. You want to drive the discussion on a subreddit? Hang out in New, you'll eventually get a few that take off.
Another excellent point, the fat people on Reddit is both really gross and ironic
And don't forget pitbull dogs. I had a pitbull/springer spaniel mix, sweetest dog I've ever had. I once mentioned her breeds in a comment and I got multiple replies saying she should be put down. God, fuck those judgmental pieces of shit
This. I like to say the fate of a comment is usually decided by the first 2-3 people to get in. A score of -1 is usually enough to convince people to downvote.
Well not exactly the legend but our technology made it so we can easily pass through it, except when those methan storage open up, that's why ships don't go above mapped deposits.
My guess is that the first comment was a troll on a post about kids seeing LGBT people. The right loves announcing that letting minorities live happy lives and allowing kids to learn that gay and trans people exist is "sexualising minors".
The second one may have also been a troll or could have been meant as a joke, it's harder to tell without context. But I've seen plenty of comments like the first one before.
Oh, I know who this is talking about. Afaik, the original guy won't shut the fuck up about not wanting to sexualize minors. While a noble cause, its gets super annoying when they keep doing it over and over and over. Kinda like some vegans and meat eating.

It could be a joke about new model car looking good. It could be posted on a picture of a young looking adult. It could be a comment about an anime where they aren't actually being sexualized.
Hell, in some subreddits every comment except a few are downvoted as part of the joke.
Could be sentences that have absolutely nothing to do with the discussion. Almost like not reading the room. Sometimes it's not the true meaning of the message that you downvote.
I remember getting fun downvoted on a post where this 5 year old kid was being asked repeatedly on TV if he had a girlfriend. He looked uncomfortable and I said it was a bit creepy of the host. But no, apparently I’m just a wet blanket
Reddit tries so hard. Any time Leonardo DiCaprio gets mentioned these creeps go nuts trying to infantalicize adult women and make people seem creepy, when they are the ones protecting their creepiness on others. The thread the other day of him was disgusting with the projection.
