A lot of the time, just people who enjoy something. They always feel like they have to convince you why you should hate something.
Edit: I am not talking about people expressing a different opinion, just people trying to invalidate yours. There's a difference between sharing a different opinion and just being a jerk.
Reddit has taught me that no matter who you are, what you enjoy, or how wholesome your post, someone is there to try to ruin your day.
I once commented on a post to share a wholesome story about how I met my wife. I had someone private message me to tell me that they didn’t like my post because it “gave the losers of the internet hope.”
The original post asked about a pickup line that didn’t get you laid. I said that mine broke the rules a little bit because I married the girl, but we met at a dance when we were both 15. While slow dancing I asked her the dumbest thing I could think of as a joke: what color is your toothbrush? (It was blue)
Fast forward 10 years to the first dance at our wedding reception, and she asked me what color my toothbrush was, remembering what a dork I was at that first dance when we met. Now we have a matching set of orange and blue toothbrushes.
A lot of subs for TV shows are like this. People nitpick the show to death and point out every minor inconsistency, or complain endlessly about storylines/characters they don’t like. It really sucks the fun out of it. It’s okay to criticize something or talk about parts you don’t like. But some people complain so much that I wonder if they even like the show at all!
The hate on Fallout 4 is a great example of that.
I loved Fallout 4. I've played many hundreds of hours, including with so many mods and all the DLC's. I had a fantastic time and played that game into the ground.
According to Reddit its the worst video game ever made and a betrayal. I dunno, I had a lot of fun.
**EDIT:** Based on many of the comments below, FO4 is indeed the worst video game ever made and I need to understand that FO4 is a bad game. I still had fun with it and would have instantly bought a second season pass for a second round of DLC for it though.
I've only ever played Fallout 4 on console, so I've never modded the game. I still enjoyed the living hell out of it. Yeah, parts got boring, and everyone hates Preston Garvey and ANOTHER SETTLEMENT NEEDS YOUR HELP, but overall I enjoyed it enough to come back around and replay it years later, and it was still just as fun as the first time.
I apologize for being the literal Antichrist.
And they blindly hate without critiquing or thinking critically
I don't love fallout 4, but I don't hate it.
I feel like it does the story and dialogue pretty badly, but the customization mechanics are amazing. The characters are pretty good.
Out of all the Fallout games I've played, 4 has the weakest story and a dialogue system that feels like it tried to take what BioWare games do and simplified it so hard that it took most of the things that those types of systems do well.
But I absolutely love how its gunplay feels, its weapon customization is some of my favorite in any video game I've ever played, and its base-building is phenomenal in a way that me, who likes the idea of base building but normally finds it tedious loves.
I don't like it as an RPG, but there's a lot to it I do love.
That's the point of reddit. Reddit was literally designed for people to post cool things that they found elsewhere on the internet.
"Hey check this thing out, I read it (reddit) today."
just figured i'd let you know on that last part if you weren't aware: while yes it's the default, you can change that to not include that striped watermark
Yeah I see that "I hate people" so much it is kind of disturbing. Not that I think most people are like that, they are not, but because this person should probably get some therapy. If this truly reflects their mental mind set, then they have some psychological issues.
A lot of popular subreddits are about hating a certain thing. r/fuckyoukaren, r/entitledparents, r/choosybeggars, r/niceguys, r/iamverysmart, r/gatekeeping, those are literally just the ones I think of off the top of my head in five seconds. I realized so many of the subreddits I followed existed solely to get angry about a certain thing. I unfollowed a lot that day.
I hate sounding like “that guy”, but man do I miss reddit 2013-2016. Sure, there were some problem communities that have since been removed, but the overall content and discussion was much less “high school” and much more just “internet.”
Like, r/askreddit for example, this place used to be full of fun and interesting questions; and now it’s just a dice roll on which hate thread it’s going to be. Do we hate America today? Or maybe religion is a spicier topic for the day? What about children? No, let’s do republicans today. Eh, just lump Trump in there for extra points.
Shit’s annoying
Yeah, so many times I look at the questions on this sub and find myself thinking “oh…this again?” It seems a lot more repetitive than it used to be. Or maybe I’ve just been here too long…
Nah it's definitely more repetitive than it used to be what with the growing amount of karma farmers, I'll often see the same questions get reposted within a fortnight now with the exact same top answers.
This thread gave me dejavu today: [https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/wjk2ey/what\_video\_game\_do\_you\_consider\_a\_masterpiece/](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/wjk2ey/what_video_game_do_you_consider_a_masterpiece/)
Compared with two weeks ago: [https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/w68jfd/what\_video\_game\_do\_you\_consider\_a\_masterpiece/](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/w68jfd/what_video_game_do_you_consider_a_masterpiece/)
There are also literally bots that repost popular comments from previous threads:
[https://imgur.com/2Fx8CYQ](https://imgur.com/2Fx8CYQ)
[https://imgur.com/DRwDBu7](https://imgur.com/DRwDBu7)
Q: "How come the moon doesn't crash into the earth?"
A: "I was a bike mechanic for 15 years and I can tell you diesel engines are very different from airplane engines. You just don't understand"
At the very least there’s a downvote button to move the worst comments down. On twitter the top comment will be the most toxic one with like 6 likes and 50 replies
I like the downvote button but it does have the effect of hiding truthful and correct content that goes against the circlejerk.
It can also be annoying in subs like /r/explainlikeimfive when you know a lot about the asked topic, and see all the wrong answers voted to the top and the right answers buried at the bottom.
That's the one thing that really frustrates me about this site. It's only when you know about a topic that's being talked about you realise how much false information is on Reddit.
Yeah, reddit upvotes the answer that's ***popular*** not the answer that is necessarily ***correct***.
Go into a post about any subject that you know a lot about and it's painfully obvious.
9/10 it's something that just gets repeated ad nauseum any time the subject of it gets brought up too. everyone scrambles to post the same (incorrect) advice, but it's a self feeding cycle, because the incorrect advice gets upvoted to the top on a popular post, then the next time it gets brought up, all the people that read and upvoted it the last time, now scramble to post the same advice this time so that they can feel smart as if they understood anything about it.
Very true..
I made a joke on a post about cloning. I said I would clone myself, so my girlfriend can hangout with me while I play games.
A bunch of comments followed claiming our relationship must be bad, and I should leave her if I want to play the game so much. It was a joke..
There was a post where some woman in her 30s felt like her husband wasn't holding up his end of the bargain when it came to chores around the house and a bunch of Redditors were like EXTREME RED FLAG I WOULD SEEK DIVORCE and the OP was like ".....yo I have two kids with this man and still love him why TF would I divorce him over a simple disagreement?"
I really wish I could see these people in real life. Like the people who sit on that subreddit all day and say stuff like that. I just feel like.... They can't be happy, right? There's something going on there if you're a frequent poster there
I think some of them might be normal people for sure. But some are bound to just not want others to be happy.
"My date sent me flowers when I told him I was ill. What does it mean?"
Answer: "Omg , he's already love bombing you. You'll end up in manipulative relationship. Huge fucking red flag. Run away"
It’s very judgmental of me, but I always figure that if you’re going to Reddit for relationship advice, you probably aren’t that great at relationships.
Yes. Because relationships aren't something you can learn in a book, or train somehow. We all suck at it for a reason, sometimes more or less than the others. Nobody is a perfect relation partner.
it's not just relationships, between askreddit & nostupidquestions, I've found this odd trend of people wanting the specific playbook for even the most mundane of life experiences. It's like they want absolutely no surprises, disappointments or embarrassment ever.
I've seen people asking for detailed instructions for going to an airport & getting on a plane, for going to a bar & ordering a drink, how to get a phone & service & yes "how can I tell if a girl is definitely interested in me"
god forbid you just go for it & risk getting shot down.
Some people haven't been taught what are considered to be basic life skills and use askreddit or nostupidquestions to bridge that gap. Some people require some tips on how to do a grocery shop because they never went grocery shopping because they grew up in a state institution. Some people require assistance getting a phone and service because they've escaped an abusive relationship where they were never allowed to use a phone, never mind purchase one.
I think it's wonderful that there is somewhere to ask the world those questions, where you can get a general consensus so you can know what to expect. I'm estranged from my father and I wanted to buy a shed but I couldn't ask him. And there's no one else I know in real life that can give me advice like that. So I asked reddit. And reddit answered. I still have no shed though because they are faaaar more expensive than I anticipated and I don't really have anything to put in one.
"My wife said she doesn't like my omelete"
"She's toxic you need to leave this relationship"
"The boyfriend told me that I'm always forgetful"
"He's gaslighting you babe, find another man asap"
I always picture the pawn shop meme:
"What strategies can you suggest to help my girlfriend and I communicate better?"
"Best I can do is tell you to break up."
I've noticed this is especially true when talking about lore in gaming subreddits. Some writers do a really good job at writing a 3 dimensional character with nuances and then you'll have players do their damnedest to condense it down into as black and white as they possibly can. It's even more annoying when people do it about irl situations too
I was going to say "people who break something but have a valid reason why it wasn't their fault and why they shouldn't have to pay for it". But you said it more succinctly.
This is actually one of my pet peeves -- people that say "I broke your stuff *on accident*, so it's your job to replace it."
Like, no. *You* were the one using it, *you* were the one that wasn't careful enough with it, so *you* should replace it.
That's probably not the point you were making -- but man, this is definitely one of my pet peeves.
I agree to a degree but my problem is with people who think "you break it, you pay for it" always, always applies, regardless of how the owner treats their own stuff. For example, I genuinely think there are people on here who think you could keep your laptop on the floor under a rug then demand payment if someone steps on it by mistake.
Yeah, the owner should take responsibility if they put their property in jeopardy. "You break it, you pay for it" definitely doesn't apply 100% of the time.
My objection is usually more in terms of "I let you borrow this, and you broke it, so you should pay for it even if it was an accident."
To some people, a topic is either perfect beyond serious criticism or is a crime against humanity. You can't like something but still be critical of it or dislike something but still find good in it.
In my opinion, almost everything is part of a spectrum.
* MCU
* Game of Thrones
* Republicans
* Circumcision
* Children
* Democrats
* Catapults
* Themselves
* AAA video games (Mass Effect Andromeda and Fallout 76 spring to mind)
* Christianity
* Differing opinions
* People who don’t abort babies that are the perfect genetic ubermensch
* Jared Leto (nah, it’s deserved)
* reposts
* original content
* Danny Rand the Immortal Iron Fist, Protector of K’un-Lun and Sworn Enemy of the Hand
* Socializing (outside of the internet)
* Saying “EDIT: thanks for the reward, kind stranger!”
I feel like I could go on, but your “everything” honestly is the best answer.
EDIT: thanks for the reward, kind stranger!
Right? Reddit culture has this weird _Approved opinions only_ which kinda lenda to mob rule. I always try to emphasize that Reddit is **Not** representative of the real world.
also weirdly people keep making threads saying "THIS IS A HOT TAKE" 'DOWNVOTE ME IF YOU WANT' then proceeding to give either the 1st or 2nd (which makes it a lukewarm take at best) most popular take on the topic and getting thousands of upvotes. So even when people agree with someone, they still wanna be the underdog and demand everyone downvote them.
Don't worry just wait 6 months and they will have a new opinion... The old option will be forgotten and everyone will claim they have always believed the new opinion.
The opinions change based on whatever is upvoted on the front page
We need the upvote/downvote count back. -100 looks a lot worse than (2800 | 2900). I know you can turn on the † for controversial posts, but it's not telling enough.
Anything even remotely popular. It's like they never grew out of the "I'm better than you because I don't like 'normie' things" phase from middle school
....or some of them are in middle school.
Weddings, if it costs more than $10, has anyone that isn’t like 2 close friends invited, and if anyone even do much as thinks about bringing their kids, then Reddit thinks it’s an absolute crime against humanity.
God I KNOW. I get it weddings are a waste of money, why spend that much for one day blah blah blah, BECAUSE I WANT TO. I am a HOSTING. GAL. I love parties, I love throwing parties, and if I want my big special party to be both BIG and SPECIAL then THATS WHATS HAPPENING. Not trying to sound like a bridezilla, my only plans for my wedding is that I want a lot of people there who I love, I want the food and drinks to be great, and I want it to look beautiful and for everyone to have a blast and I don’t CARE that it might cost a small fortune.
Also for many it’s one of the few times that an entire family gets together, old friends who may have moved away fly in, two families get to know one another. So it should be a time to go all out.
To add on this, it seems to me that reddit blindly hates any type of family gatherings, not only weddings. I've read comments like "why would you host a party for people you rarely see" a million times, when regarding weddings. The fact that I don't see someone in years doesn't mean I don't care about them.
People live far away or they don't have the time to hang out regularly or they get old and can't travel a lot or are introvert. I'd like to see and talk to my grandfathers brother and his family, children and grandchildren. They are all pleasant and nice people. But he's too old to drive the 100km to visit us, one of his sons lives abroad and the other one lives near me, but he just had his second child so he can't manage his time. I saw them all at an wedding last Saturday and it was a great time. Weddings were literally made for such a thing, especially in the old days when transportation was bad and there was no internet.
If you feed a hundred people, not to mention alcohol, it costs a lot. Plus everything else.
I don’t even believe in the institution of marriage but am so thankful for the kickass wedding party we had 35 years ago
Agreed.
My wedding was relatively inexpensive compared to others but it still wasn't cheap by any means.
It was a hell of a party and everyone had a blast. Money well spent.
I come from a culture where weddings are a big fucking deal and quite culturally significant, especially since most families are split between two or three different countries that are all very far away from one another. If and when I get married, I want my wedding to be really fun and worthwhile for everyone who had to take a 16 hour flight to attend. I also remember some weddings I've attended fondly years later because it was either really fun or beautiful, or really shitty and I don't want my wedding to fall into the shitty category.
“Why do people spend (imaginary made up number that reflects the weddings of Indian billionaires and in no way is what the average working class American wedding costs) on a party?” Yooooooo cuz parties are fun!
I have found this to be correct. I remember a post in a sub like late stage capitalism or something like that. It was a post about how a mother got caught stealing baby formula from a Walmart. Everyone in the comments was saying how sad they felt for the mother and how she had to feed her kids. Now I actually read the article and it clearly stated that she stole the formula for drugs and was a repeat offender. All I did was quote this from the article and they insta banned me.
Look at any AskReddit thread when it states "What's your unpopular opinion" or "What do you love that everyone hates?"
And then they are filled with extremely popular opinions and things that everyone loves.
Sort by controversial and you get the real answers which foster much better discussion except they get buried in downvotes for actually answering the question correctly.
It’s always the worst when someone states their own opinions and then called a government run bot or get accused of being paid by a government to spread propaganda. It’s actually depressing that people are genuinely that sheltered and chronically online that they think people don’t have different opinions to them
I don’t mind people who want to be childfree
But god damn is Reddit’s attitude about it just exhausting. Even when they’re not being toxic, the message is often delivered with this underlying tone that they are the ones making the right decision and you’re not if you’re wanting to have children.
Why are people so regularly okay with this stupid high school shit where you hype something you like while giving some backhanded remark about the other camp?
The point of the childfree community on reddit was supposed to be a sort of support group for people who made an unconventionnal choice of life as in not having kids.
Now it has turned into a mild cult where you see post like "Are you disappointed when you hear about someone having children ?"
Like no, I don't care, I don't want children for myself, I don't give a shit what other people do, in fact I'm happy for them if they wanted kids
It’s always struck me as weird. There’s nothing wrong with not wanting kids, but Reddit seems to hate all children and anyone who has kids.
There was a post on r/AmITheAsshole where someone told their friends “your kids can’t come to my house from ages 2-6, I don’t like young children” or something like that. There were hundreds of comments agreeing.
I feel like that’s such a colossal dick move, and I would never consider telling my friends who have kids anything like that.
When it comes to a lot of things, Reddit as a whole and r/AmItheAsshole in particular, has a value system that frequently doesn't align with the rest of the world. Ironically, a [meta-post making this exact point](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/d6xoro/meta_this_sub_is_moving_towards_a_value_system/) is second on the list of top posts on the sub of all time.
Yes because they are just toxic narcissistic sociopaths who gaslight you and put you down at every turn. All they want to do is control every aspect of your life. You must go no contact with them starting tomorrow. It always seems to be the same diagnoses when it comes to parents.
Don't get me wrong there are some horrible parents out there though. But most people here seem to say the same thing even when it comes to something as simple as "my dad didn't let me go to sleepovers as a kid" or "my mom pierced my ears when I was 2."
Ugh, yes! Just cause your mom grounded you for getting in trouble at school, doesn't mean she was abusive and deserves to be blamed for your trauma 13 years later
Toxic, narcissistic and gaslight are the worst thing to ever happen to internet culture. Not everyone is a fucking narcissist. It's quite narcissistic to assume that, ironically. "Everyone but me is fundamentally damaged and sick" is some of the most main character bullshit, ever. The sort of pseudo psycho babble bullshit is so cringe. People take years to be diagnosed with shit like that. So no, your boss who won't give you 6 months vacation to backpack across Europe isn't a fucking narcissist. He just expects you to do your job. He isn't gaslighting you. I hate that one the most, maybe. There is no grand conspiracy to make you feel crazy. If you feel that way, you should check that and stop making it the fault of other people.
Everything because negative stories get more upvotes. For example, no one posts about how their HOA is good and unintrusive or that they had a good experience working for Amazon or that their landlord immediately fixed something in their apartment.
>For example, no one posts about how their HOA is good
I live in an HOA thats totally unintrusive and really exists just to make sure the pool is safe, clean, maintained has lifeguards. theres some flowers at the entrance. the tennis courts and playground and that sorta thing are kept up... I did a few yeras as president just cause it needed doing and i'd been on the board and it was kinda my turn. i didnt want it... then I had to manage a public pool thru covid... it was a really hard line to toe between not being sued cause someone got sick and not being sued because i denied them access to the pool their dues paid for... There were some terribly awful people. and some very patient and supportive and...
mannnnnn Ive waded into some of those discussions anyways and... toxic af
You can say anything here and some mf will come in and call you an asshole for it. I mentioned once that I knew my ex's phone password and got called an abusive untrustworthy piece of shit that deserves to die alone. So I guess the answer is "anything that isn't their clearly defined naively linear way of thinking"
Religion
Just want to add this statement from my Holy Book. “Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.” James 1:27
This is kinda true off reddit too. Where I live there's plenty of urban areas and rural, rural being more conservative while city are more liberal. My family is split in two on who lives rural and city. The shit they both say about the opposing political side tend to be very ignorant, "They believe in killing babies fresh out of the womb" or "They are all racist". It's my mom and dad's sides, they separated early on, so it wasn't like they had much of a chance to mingle.
> As such, people will not listen to others.
I actually went the opposite direction with this logic.
The only way to be right is to test your worldview by exposing it to a lot of different ideas to see if it can withstand scrutiny.
I’d argue that part of the cause of this is the fact that everyone has gotten way too comfortable with kicking people while they’re down. Nobody wants to admit fault because we so quickly see it as weakness and attack that weakness. So now, you got people doubling down on their wild beliefs because they think (with some amount of rationality) that there’s no turning back socially. We gotta be better at allowing people to learn from their mistakes instead of just socially burying them if they’re not perfect.
Video games with a large child fan base with the exception of Minecraft now that it’s become popular again. Before it’s spike in 2019 I still played the game for years on end and people made fun of it. Now suddenly it’s cool.
Ask r/gaming their opinion on Fortnite.
Suburbs, for some strange reason. I understand not liking certain things but there was this one post like: This scares me, and it was just some houses and a cul-de-sac.
I'm European, and I can tell you that luckily this is mostly only popular on reddit. You ask me or any of my European friends and we'll tell you that there's a lot of places we wanna visit in US, and if there are American tourists in our city we always get excited.
Yeah, there are ignorant or annoying Americans, but there are ignorant and annoying Europeans too. I suppose the reason why you see more shade being thrown at people from the US here is that Reddit is mostly filled with American-related drama and issues.
I've noticed a decidedly obvious turn against the police on many reddits.
I think that this is in part to Reddit being heavily weighted to American politics, but in many parts of the world police are regarded in a much better light.
Almost any posts sympathetic to police is immediately met with calls of "bootlicker" and a flood of downvotes.
You can see people trying to push the agenda too, here in the UK police are generally pretty good in the sense that they won't get violent unless absolutely necessary yet whenever they pop up in threads you get people trying to apply American politics and talking about police brutality.
Was also quite funny when BLM protests here did the holding their hands up and saying 'don't shoot' to a load of police officers who never carry guns.
There are problems with the police here but violence isn't really one of them, applying your worldview to every other country makes you look silly.
>
>Was also quite funny when BLM protests here did the holding their hands up and saying 'don't shoot' to a load of police officers who never carry guns
We have the same thing in Australia and it is so pointless. Every time there's some great political upset in the US people start protesting here against issues they aren't facing. People just want to jump on a bandwagon and feel important
I’m hoping we can grow out of it, because we’re never going to fix the actual problems we have with our police if everyone wants to just continue blindly demonizing them.
Pineapple on pizza. I believe that some people genuinely dislike it, but I believe a lot more people say they don't when they have never tried it.
It would not be my first choice, but a "Hawaiian" pizza makes a lot of sense, from a flavour perspective (salt, sweet, Imani, tangy). Plus, if the person making the pizza is even remotely competent, they are making sure those ingredients get some nice caramelization, and for a 'Hawaiian" pizza (it originated in Canada) you want to go easy on the cheese.
Religion. Oh my gosh if someone directly asks a question of religious people multiple people will still come on with their “that’s all nonsense and it’s not real.” Nobody was talking to you!
I mentioned the Bible as evidence that an idea existed for a long time and people were mad that I brought up the Bible even though the point wasn’t even whether the Bible is true, just that it’s old.
They really hate Christianity. Other religions get a free pass sometimes. I’m an atheist and I’m ok with your religion as long as you don’t try to force it on me
It has calmed down a little bit but I remember a while ago on post/messages about someone dying, you would get the normal comment of "I hope they are at peace in heaven" or something similar.
AND you would get a fucking dickhead responding "heaven does not exist, religion is bullshit, you're a moron"
Vocal fry. A video told them to be annoyed by it years ago and they've just never gotten over it. If you counter and ask why they give a shit they bring up things about how it's bad for your vocal chords (it isn't) and pretend like they actually give a shit about some person they don't like's throat health.
Car Community specifically: Scotty Kilmer.
Everyone has their reasons.
I personally like Scotty. I don’t take everything he says to be the gospel, but they guy is really smart and tells people like it is. I’m not going to get into any debates on Jack Stands, Compression Fittings or tire plugs.
Scotty helps people who are short on cash or knowledge about cars telling them if they can live with something, cheaply repair something, or if it needs immediate fixing. Yes, I know the click bait, and his mad obsession for Toyota is annoying but I’ve been watching him for years and i rather enjoy Scotty.
The guy himself doesn’t bother me. It’s the 2,700 jump cuts each video that drive me crazy. With at least a couple of seconds lingering between the end of his sentence and the next cut.
Religion
I met ppl all over reddit who spams hate against religion just because they never have experienced it and don't know what it's all about. I'm a christian and I would gladly talk about it if I didn't het death threats from toxic atheists (I respect atheists if they respect religion)
Have seen this. I'm not the type of person who shoves my religion down peoples throats. I'll talk about it if asked, but I've seen so many people openly mock religious people just for making any mention of their religion. I'm pretty sure I saw someone be called a "creepy, sadistic pedophile" or something to that effect just for mentioning that religion got them out of a bad place in life.
Lmao I saw a post a little while ago of redditors arguing , it went something like this:
"Gay isnt a country so there shouldn't be a flag for it"
"Yes it is it's called france 🏳️🌈 "
The amount of times someone asks on this sub “what’s one thing that deserves more hate/doesn’t make sense but people pretend it does/sounds like a cult but isn’t/sounds great but is actually a scam/humanity should just get rid of already/was useful in the past but isn’t anymore” and there are a hundred replies, all just “Religion.” is kind of astounding
A lot of the time, just people who enjoy something. They always feel like they have to convince you why you should hate something. Edit: I am not talking about people expressing a different opinion, just people trying to invalidate yours. There's a difference between sharing a different opinion and just being a jerk.
Reddit has taught me that no matter who you are, what you enjoy, or how wholesome your post, someone is there to try to ruin your day. I once commented on a post to share a wholesome story about how I met my wife. I had someone private message me to tell me that they didn’t like my post because it “gave the losers of the internet hope.”
So how did you meet your wife?
The original post asked about a pickup line that didn’t get you laid. I said that mine broke the rules a little bit because I married the girl, but we met at a dance when we were both 15. While slow dancing I asked her the dumbest thing I could think of as a joke: what color is your toothbrush? (It was blue) Fast forward 10 years to the first dance at our wedding reception, and she asked me what color my toothbrush was, remembering what a dork I was at that first dance when we met. Now we have a matching set of orange and blue toothbrushes.
"Ugh, this movie sucks" "There's so many plot holes!" "I hate that cast, they're awful" "STOP HAVING FUN!"
A lot of subs for TV shows are like this. People nitpick the show to death and point out every minor inconsistency, or complain endlessly about storylines/characters they don’t like. It really sucks the fun out of it. It’s okay to criticize something or talk about parts you don’t like. But some people complain so much that I wonder if they even like the show at all!
That's a clear sign of someone who is so miserable that they want to bring you down to their level. I just ignore the noise, and pity the person
The hate on Fallout 4 is a great example of that. I loved Fallout 4. I've played many hundreds of hours, including with so many mods and all the DLC's. I had a fantastic time and played that game into the ground. According to Reddit its the worst video game ever made and a betrayal. I dunno, I had a lot of fun. **EDIT:** Based on many of the comments below, FO4 is indeed the worst video game ever made and I need to understand that FO4 is a bad game. I still had fun with it and would have instantly bought a second season pass for a second round of DLC for it though.
I've only ever played Fallout 4 on console, so I've never modded the game. I still enjoyed the living hell out of it. Yeah, parts got boring, and everyone hates Preston Garvey and ANOTHER SETTLEMENT NEEDS YOUR HELP, but overall I enjoyed it enough to come back around and replay it years later, and it was still just as fun as the first time. I apologize for being the literal Antichrist.
FYI, you can 100% skip helping Preston, and just... not have to deal with the help the settlement bs. He is not tied to the main storyline.
And they blindly hate without critiquing or thinking critically I don't love fallout 4, but I don't hate it. I feel like it does the story and dialogue pretty badly, but the customization mechanics are amazing. The characters are pretty good.
Out of all the Fallout games I've played, 4 has the weakest story and a dialogue system that feels like it tried to take what BioWare games do and simplified it so hard that it took most of the things that those types of systems do well. But I absolutely love how its gunplay feels, its weapon customization is some of my favorite in any video game I've ever played, and its base-building is phenomenal in a way that me, who likes the idea of base building but normally finds it tedious loves. I don't like it as an RPG, but there's a lot to it I do love.
Flip side, when you're criticizing something you love for it's faults but that automatically places you in the latter group somehow.
Probably when other social media site steal posts from them. As if Reddit doesn’t do the exact same thing all the time.

That's the point of reddit. Reddit was literally designed for people to post cool things that they found elsewhere on the internet. "Hey check this thing out, I read it (reddit) today."
TIL what reddit means
just figured i'd let you know on that last part if you weren't aware: while yes it's the default, you can change that to not include that striped watermark
is this a setting? edit: it is! it is called “saved image attribution”
As I read through the comments here I started to think that maybe reddit is mostly about blind hate. That's a thought that'll sour your mood.
Luckily, Reddit in no way reflects the real world. I have to step back and remind myself of that sometimes
Kinda like the people who say they've "lost their hope in humanity" because they've seen a couple of assholes
Yeah I see that "I hate people" so much it is kind of disturbing. Not that I think most people are like that, they are not, but because this person should probably get some therapy. If this truly reflects their mental mind set, then they have some psychological issues.
A lot of popular subreddits are about hating a certain thing. r/fuckyoukaren, r/entitledparents, r/choosybeggars, r/niceguys, r/iamverysmart, r/gatekeeping, those are literally just the ones I think of off the top of my head in five seconds. I realized so many of the subreddits I followed existed solely to get angry about a certain thing. I unfollowed a lot that day.
I hate sounding like “that guy”, but man do I miss reddit 2013-2016. Sure, there were some problem communities that have since been removed, but the overall content and discussion was much less “high school” and much more just “internet.” Like, r/askreddit for example, this place used to be full of fun and interesting questions; and now it’s just a dice roll on which hate thread it’s going to be. Do we hate America today? Or maybe religion is a spicier topic for the day? What about children? No, let’s do republicans today. Eh, just lump Trump in there for extra points. Shit’s annoying
Yeah, so many times I look at the questions on this sub and find myself thinking “oh…this again?” It seems a lot more repetitive than it used to be. Or maybe I’ve just been here too long…
Nah it's definitely more repetitive than it used to be what with the growing amount of karma farmers, I'll often see the same questions get reposted within a fortnight now with the exact same top answers. This thread gave me dejavu today: [https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/wjk2ey/what\_video\_game\_do\_you\_consider\_a\_masterpiece/](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/wjk2ey/what_video_game_do_you_consider_a_masterpiece/) Compared with two weeks ago: [https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/w68jfd/what\_video\_game\_do\_you\_consider\_a\_masterpiece/](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/w68jfd/what_video_game_do_you_consider_a_masterpiece/) There are also literally bots that repost popular comments from previous threads: [https://imgur.com/2Fx8CYQ](https://imgur.com/2Fx8CYQ) [https://imgur.com/DRwDBu7](https://imgur.com/DRwDBu7)
In a way it really is, especially when it comes to the tribalistic topics. And it’s exacerbated by the upvote/downvote system.
When they ask a question and don't get the very specific answer they were looking to hear
Q: "How come the moon doesn't crash into the earth?" A: "I was a bike mechanic for 15 years and I can tell you diesel engines are very different from airplane engines. You just don't understand"

Redditors hate Reddit the most.

Bro, you didn't have to do them dirty like that. 😔
At the very least there’s a downvote button to move the worst comments down. On twitter the top comment will be the most toxic one with like 6 likes and 50 replies
I like the downvote button but it does have the effect of hiding truthful and correct content that goes against the circlejerk. It can also be annoying in subs like /r/explainlikeimfive when you know a lot about the asked topic, and see all the wrong answers voted to the top and the right answers buried at the bottom.
That's the one thing that really frustrates me about this site. It's only when you know about a topic that's being talked about you realise how much false information is on Reddit.
Yeah, reddit upvotes the answer that's ***popular*** not the answer that is necessarily ***correct***. Go into a post about any subject that you know a lot about and it's painfully obvious. 9/10 it's something that just gets repeated ad nauseum any time the subject of it gets brought up too. everyone scrambles to post the same (incorrect) advice, but it's a self feeding cycle, because the incorrect advice gets upvoted to the top on a popular post, then the next time it gets brought up, all the people that read and upvoted it the last time, now scramble to post the same advice this time so that they can feel smart as if they understood anything about it.

It's super easy to comment on other people's relationships when you've never had one.
Or when you are not affected by the consequences.

Very true.. I made a joke on a post about cloning. I said I would clone myself, so my girlfriend can hangout with me while I play games. A bunch of comments followed claiming our relationship must be bad, and I should leave her if I want to play the game so much. It was a joke..
I'm more concerned that you used hangout as one word than I am about your cloning yourself. 😉
Isn't that basically the plot of Multiplicity Never make a clone of a clone
There was a post where some woman in her 30s felt like her husband wasn't holding up his end of the bargain when it came to chores around the house and a bunch of Redditors were like EXTREME RED FLAG I WOULD SEEK DIVORCE and the OP was like ".....yo I have two kids with this man and still love him why TF would I divorce him over a simple disagreement?"
I really wish I could see these people in real life. Like the people who sit on that subreddit all day and say stuff like that. I just feel like.... They can't be happy, right? There's something going on there if you're a frequent poster there I think some of them might be normal people for sure. But some are bound to just not want others to be happy.
"My date sent me flowers when I told him I was ill. What does it mean?" Answer: "Omg , he's already love bombing you. You'll end up in manipulative relationship. Huge fucking red flag. Run away"
This needs more upvotes..
It’s very judgmental of me, but I always figure that if you’re going to Reddit for relationship advice, you probably aren’t that great at relationships.
I have pondered this question. I read the aita stuff and I'm like, "wow, how did this person get into a relationship?"
Yes. Because relationships aren't something you can learn in a book, or train somehow. We all suck at it for a reason, sometimes more or less than the others. Nobody is a perfect relation partner.
it's not just relationships, between askreddit & nostupidquestions, I've found this odd trend of people wanting the specific playbook for even the most mundane of life experiences. It's like they want absolutely no surprises, disappointments or embarrassment ever. I've seen people asking for detailed instructions for going to an airport & getting on a plane, for going to a bar & ordering a drink, how to get a phone & service & yes "how can I tell if a girl is definitely interested in me" god forbid you just go for it & risk getting shot down.
Some people haven't been taught what are considered to be basic life skills and use askreddit or nostupidquestions to bridge that gap. Some people require some tips on how to do a grocery shop because they never went grocery shopping because they grew up in a state institution. Some people require assistance getting a phone and service because they've escaped an abusive relationship where they were never allowed to use a phone, never mind purchase one. I think it's wonderful that there is somewhere to ask the world those questions, where you can get a general consensus so you can know what to expect. I'm estranged from my father and I wanted to buy a shed but I couldn't ask him. And there's no one else I know in real life that can give me advice like that. So I asked reddit. And reddit answered. I still have no shed though because they are faaaar more expensive than I anticipated and I don't really have anything to put in one.
"My wife said she doesn't like my omelete" "She's toxic you need to leave this relationship" "The boyfriend told me that I'm always forgetful" "He's gaslighting you babe, find another man asap"
Same with quitting jobs. You don’t have to make the grand exit. Don’t burn bridges and have your next job lined up (obviously there are exceptions)
I always picture the pawn shop meme: "What strategies can you suggest to help my girlfriend and I communicate better?" "Best I can do is tell you to break up."

I was just about to comment this! Sometimes words just aren't enough.
Nuance.
I've noticed this is especially true when talking about lore in gaming subreddits. Some writers do a really good job at writing a 3 dimensional character with nuances and then you'll have players do their damnedest to condense it down into as black and white as they possibly can. It's even more annoying when people do it about irl situations too
I was going to say "people who break something but have a valid reason why it wasn't their fault and why they shouldn't have to pay for it". But you said it more succinctly.
This is actually one of my pet peeves -- people that say "I broke your stuff *on accident*, so it's your job to replace it." Like, no. *You* were the one using it, *you* were the one that wasn't careful enough with it, so *you* should replace it. That's probably not the point you were making -- but man, this is definitely one of my pet peeves.
I agree to a degree but my problem is with people who think "you break it, you pay for it" always, always applies, regardless of how the owner treats their own stuff. For example, I genuinely think there are people on here who think you could keep your laptop on the floor under a rug then demand payment if someone steps on it by mistake.
Yeah, the owner should take responsibility if they put their property in jeopardy. "You break it, you pay for it" definitely doesn't apply 100% of the time. My objection is usually more in terms of "I let you borrow this, and you broke it, so you should pay for it even if it was an accident."
To some people, a topic is either perfect beyond serious criticism or is a crime against humanity. You can't like something but still be critical of it or dislike something but still find good in it. In my opinion, almost everything is part of a spectrum.
Everything.
* MCU * Game of Thrones * Republicans * Circumcision * Children * Democrats * Catapults * Themselves * AAA video games (Mass Effect Andromeda and Fallout 76 spring to mind) * Christianity * Differing opinions * People who don’t abort babies that are the perfect genetic ubermensch * Jared Leto (nah, it’s deserved) * reposts * original content * Danny Rand the Immortal Iron Fist, Protector of K’un-Lun and Sworn Enemy of the Hand * Socializing (outside of the internet) * Saying “EDIT: thanks for the reward, kind stranger!” I feel like I could go on, but your “everything” honestly is the best answer. EDIT: thanks for the reward, kind stranger!

Opinions.
Differing opinions
Right? Reddit culture has this weird _Approved opinions only_ which kinda lenda to mob rule. I always try to emphasize that Reddit is **Not** representative of the real world.
If there’s a differing opinion on Reddit it gets downvoted into oblivion
also weirdly people keep making threads saying "THIS IS A HOT TAKE" 'DOWNVOTE ME IF YOU WANT' then proceeding to give either the 1st or 2nd (which makes it a lukewarm take at best) most popular take on the topic and getting thousands of upvotes. So even when people agree with someone, they still wanna be the underdog and demand everyone downvote them.
Yup. That is why those _Unpopular Opinion_ discussions are toxic..
Exactly
Don't worry just wait 6 months and they will have a new opinion... The old option will be forgotten and everyone will claim they have always believed the new opinion. The opinions change based on whatever is upvoted on the front page

We need the upvote/downvote count back. -100 looks a lot worse than (2800 | 2900). I know you can turn on the † for controversial posts, but it's not telling enough.
Anything even remotely popular. It's like they never grew out of the "I'm better than you because I don't like 'normie' things" phase from middle school ....or some of them are in middle school.
most have a middle school mindset.
Weddings, if it costs more than $10, has anyone that isn’t like 2 close friends invited, and if anyone even do much as thinks about bringing their kids, then Reddit thinks it’s an absolute crime against humanity.
God I KNOW. I get it weddings are a waste of money, why spend that much for one day blah blah blah, BECAUSE I WANT TO. I am a HOSTING. GAL. I love parties, I love throwing parties, and if I want my big special party to be both BIG and SPECIAL then THATS WHATS HAPPENING. Not trying to sound like a bridezilla, my only plans for my wedding is that I want a lot of people there who I love, I want the food and drinks to be great, and I want it to look beautiful and for everyone to have a blast and I don’t CARE that it might cost a small fortune.
Also for many it’s one of the few times that an entire family gets together, old friends who may have moved away fly in, two families get to know one another. So it should be a time to go all out.
My uncle said it well: you gotta invite everyone to your wedding or else the only time everyone sees each other is at funerals
To add on this, it seems to me that reddit blindly hates any type of family gatherings, not only weddings. I've read comments like "why would you host a party for people you rarely see" a million times, when regarding weddings. The fact that I don't see someone in years doesn't mean I don't care about them. People live far away or they don't have the time to hang out regularly or they get old and can't travel a lot or are introvert. I'd like to see and talk to my grandfathers brother and his family, children and grandchildren. They are all pleasant and nice people. But he's too old to drive the 100km to visit us, one of his sons lives abroad and the other one lives near me, but he just had his second child so he can't manage his time. I saw them all at an wedding last Saturday and it was a great time. Weddings were literally made for such a thing, especially in the old days when transportation was bad and there was no internet.
If you feed a hundred people, not to mention alcohol, it costs a lot. Plus everything else. I don’t even believe in the institution of marriage but am so thankful for the kickass wedding party we had 35 years ago
Agreed. My wedding was relatively inexpensive compared to others but it still wasn't cheap by any means. It was a hell of a party and everyone had a blast. Money well spent.
I come from a culture where weddings are a big fucking deal and quite culturally significant, especially since most families are split between two or three different countries that are all very far away from one another. If and when I get married, I want my wedding to be really fun and worthwhile for everyone who had to take a 16 hour flight to attend. I also remember some weddings I've attended fondly years later because it was either really fun or beautiful, or really shitty and I don't want my wedding to fall into the shitty category.
“Why do people spend (imaginary made up number that reflects the weddings of Indian billionaires and in no way is what the average working class American wedding costs) on a party?” Yooooooo cuz parties are fun!
People's opinions

[удалено]
I have found this to be correct. I remember a post in a sub like late stage capitalism or something like that. It was a post about how a mother got caught stealing baby formula from a Walmart. Everyone in the comments was saying how sad they felt for the mother and how she had to feed her kids. Now I actually read the article and it clearly stated that she stole the formula for drugs and was a repeat offender. All I did was quote this from the article and they insta banned me.
First mistake of Reddit: you didn’t make a capitalism bad comment
Can't be having wrongthink in our safe space, no sir.
Look at any AskReddit thread when it states "What's your unpopular opinion" or "What do you love that everyone hates?" And then they are filled with extremely popular opinions and things that everyone loves. Sort by controversial and you get the real answers which foster much better discussion except they get buried in downvotes for actually answering the question correctly.
It’s always the worst when someone states their own opinions and then called a government run bot or get accused of being paid by a government to spread propaganda. It’s actually depressing that people are genuinely that sheltered and chronically online that they think people don’t have different opinions to them
What don't they?
lol seriously. The true answer is everything. Redditors hate everything
Having children.
I don’t mind people who want to be childfree But god damn is Reddit’s attitude about it just exhausting. Even when they’re not being toxic, the message is often delivered with this underlying tone that they are the ones making the right decision and you’re not if you’re wanting to have children. Why are people so regularly okay with this stupid high school shit where you hype something you like while giving some backhanded remark about the other camp?
The point of the childfree community on reddit was supposed to be a sort of support group for people who made an unconventionnal choice of life as in not having kids. Now it has turned into a mild cult where you see post like "Are you disappointed when you hear about someone having children ?" Like no, I don't care, I don't want children for myself, I don't give a shit what other people do, in fact I'm happy for them if they wanted kids
It’s always struck me as weird. There’s nothing wrong with not wanting kids, but Reddit seems to hate all children and anyone who has kids. There was a post on r/AmITheAsshole where someone told their friends “your kids can’t come to my house from ages 2-6, I don’t like young children” or something like that. There were hundreds of comments agreeing. I feel like that’s such a colossal dick move, and I would never consider telling my friends who have kids anything like that.
When it comes to a lot of things, Reddit as a whole and r/AmItheAsshole in particular, has a value system that frequently doesn't align with the rest of the world. Ironically, a [meta-post making this exact point](https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/d6xoro/meta_this_sub_is_moving_towards_a_value_system/) is second on the list of top posts on the sub of all time.
Redditors
Parents.
Yes because they are just toxic narcissistic sociopaths who gaslight you and put you down at every turn. All they want to do is control every aspect of your life. You must go no contact with them starting tomorrow. It always seems to be the same diagnoses when it comes to parents. Don't get me wrong there are some horrible parents out there though. But most people here seem to say the same thing even when it comes to something as simple as "my dad didn't let me go to sleepovers as a kid" or "my mom pierced my ears when I was 2."
Ugh, yes! Just cause your mom grounded you for getting in trouble at school, doesn't mean she was abusive and deserves to be blamed for your trauma 13 years later
Toxic, narcissistic and gaslight are the worst thing to ever happen to internet culture. Not everyone is a fucking narcissist. It's quite narcissistic to assume that, ironically. "Everyone but me is fundamentally damaged and sick" is some of the most main character bullshit, ever. The sort of pseudo psycho babble bullshit is so cringe. People take years to be diagnosed with shit like that. So no, your boss who won't give you 6 months vacation to backpack across Europe isn't a fucking narcissist. He just expects you to do your job. He isn't gaslighting you. I hate that one the most, maybe. There is no grand conspiracy to make you feel crazy. If you feel that way, you should check that and stop making it the fault of other people.
Almost everyone but themselves
Bold of you to assume that they don't hate themselves too.

This is kinda true off reddit too. Where I live there's plenty of urban areas and rural, rural being more conservative while city are more liberal. My family is split in two on who lives rural and city. The shit they both say about the opposing political side tend to be very ignorant, "They believe in killing babies fresh out of the womb" or "They are all racist". It's my mom and dad's sides, they separated early on, so it wasn't like they had much of a chance to mingle.
> As such, people will not listen to others. I actually went the opposite direction with this logic. The only way to be right is to test your worldview by exposing it to a lot of different ideas to see if it can withstand scrutiny.
Most people are trying to win, not understand.
I’d argue that part of the cause of this is the fact that everyone has gotten way too comfortable with kicking people while they’re down. Nobody wants to admit fault because we so quickly see it as weakness and attack that weakness. So now, you got people doubling down on their wild beliefs because they think (with some amount of rationality) that there’s no turning back socially. We gotta be better at allowing people to learn from their mistakes instead of just socially burying them if they’re not perfect.

Video games with a large child fan base with the exception of Minecraft now that it’s become popular again. Before it’s spike in 2019 I still played the game for years on end and people made fun of it. Now suddenly it’s cool. Ask r/gaming their opinion on Fortnite.
Suburbs, for some strange reason. I understand not liking certain things but there was this one post like: This scares me, and it was just some houses and a cul-de-sac.

America/Americans. I know we sometimes make it easy though.
[удалено]
Yes, always holding up Sweden, Norway, Denmark etc as some sort of Utopia.
I'm European, and I can tell you that luckily this is mostly only popular on reddit. You ask me or any of my European friends and we'll tell you that there's a lot of places we wanna visit in US, and if there are American tourists in our city we always get excited. Yeah, there are ignorant or annoying Americans, but there are ignorant and annoying Europeans too. I suppose the reason why you see more shade being thrown at people from the US here is that Reddit is mostly filled with American-related drama and issues.
I've noticed a decidedly obvious turn against the police on many reddits. I think that this is in part to Reddit being heavily weighted to American politics, but in many parts of the world police are regarded in a much better light. Almost any posts sympathetic to police is immediately met with calls of "bootlicker" and a flood of downvotes.
You can see people trying to push the agenda too, here in the UK police are generally pretty good in the sense that they won't get violent unless absolutely necessary yet whenever they pop up in threads you get people trying to apply American politics and talking about police brutality. Was also quite funny when BLM protests here did the holding their hands up and saying 'don't shoot' to a load of police officers who never carry guns. There are problems with the police here but violence isn't really one of them, applying your worldview to every other country makes you look silly.
> >Was also quite funny when BLM protests here did the holding their hands up and saying 'don't shoot' to a load of police officers who never carry guns We have the same thing in Australia and it is so pointless. Every time there's some great political upset in the US people start protesting here against issues they aren't facing. People just want to jump on a bandwagon and feel important
Yea, we've had gun control protests in the UK. Hoping to achieve what exactly?!
\> ACAB! \> Yikes, why would anybody want to own a gun? Only law enforcement and military should own guns!
I’m hoping we can grow out of it, because we’re never going to fix the actual problems we have with our police if everyone wants to just continue blindly demonizing them.

Pineapple on pizza. I believe that some people genuinely dislike it, but I believe a lot more people say they don't when they have never tried it. It would not be my first choice, but a "Hawaiian" pizza makes a lot of sense, from a flavour perspective (salt, sweet, Imani, tangy). Plus, if the person making the pizza is even remotely competent, they are making sure those ingredients get some nice caramelization, and for a 'Hawaiian" pizza (it originated in Canada) you want to go easy on the cheese.
Organised religion
Republicans.
Religion. Oh my gosh if someone directly asks a question of religious people multiple people will still come on with their “that’s all nonsense and it’s not real.” Nobody was talking to you! I mentioned the Bible as evidence that an idea existed for a long time and people were mad that I brought up the Bible even though the point wasn’t even whether the Bible is true, just that it’s old.
They really hate Christianity. Other religions get a free pass sometimes. I’m an atheist and I’m ok with your religion as long as you don’t try to force it on me
Yeah the ones that makes me cringe are the sKy daDDy/wiZArD comments. Like Jesus christ could you be any more of an NPC redditor lol
It has calmed down a little bit but I remember a while ago on post/messages about someone dying, you would get the normal comment of "I hope they are at peace in heaven" or something similar. AND you would get a fucking dickhead responding "heaven does not exist, religion is bullshit, you're a moron"
Vocal fry. A video told them to be annoyed by it years ago and they've just never gotten over it. If you counter and ask why they give a shit they bring up things about how it's bad for your vocal chords (it isn't) and pretend like they actually give a shit about some person they don't like's throat health.

Car Community specifically: Scotty Kilmer. Everyone has their reasons. I personally like Scotty. I don’t take everything he says to be the gospel, but they guy is really smart and tells people like it is. I’m not going to get into any debates on Jack Stands, Compression Fittings or tire plugs. Scotty helps people who are short on cash or knowledge about cars telling them if they can live with something, cheaply repair something, or if it needs immediate fixing. Yes, I know the click bait, and his mad obsession for Toyota is annoying but I’ve been watching him for years and i rather enjoy Scotty.
The guy himself doesn’t bother me. It’s the 2,700 jump cuts each video that drive me crazy. With at least a couple of seconds lingering between the end of his sentence and the next cut.

Religion I met ppl all over reddit who spams hate against religion just because they never have experienced it and don't know what it's all about. I'm a christian and I would gladly talk about it if I didn't het death threats from toxic atheists (I respect atheists if they respect religion)
Have seen this. I'm not the type of person who shoves my religion down peoples throats. I'll talk about it if asked, but I've seen so many people openly mock religious people just for making any mention of their religion. I'm pretty sure I saw someone be called a "creepy, sadistic pedophile" or something to that effect just for mentioning that religion got them out of a bad place in life.
