    Reddit has an insane amount of casual racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, classism, and just about every other shitty, abhorrent form of chudiness you can think of, right in the open and getting heavily upvoted. It’s a site that can really distort any decent person’s perception of humanity. It can turn the most trusting person into a diehard misanthrope quickly. The site needs to be avoided at all costs. I would prefer it to just not exist at all.

      Every single time I go to my local subreddit I end up scream-typing at people for being fashy shits. The latest one was “hundreds of kids are fighting and smoking dope in the halls so they have to show us their student ID to use the restroom or else they can just piss themselves” and like, that’s child abuse, and I’m pretty sure it’s a human rights violation, and it’s just sick, but I’m the asshole because “THEY’RE FIGHTING AND SMOKING THE JAZZ CABBAGE HUNDREDS OF THEM!!! WE HAVE TO HUMILIATE CHILDREN AND MAKE THEM HOLD IT UNTIL THEY GET BLADDER INFECTRIONS YOU ASSHOLE!”
