Incredibly out of touch Westerners who think the world should revolve exclusively around their favoured concerns. The Ukraine conflict was a very good example of this. So many dumbasses blaming countries for not cutting their ties with Russia just because it suits their worldview.
"and my axe" "sir this is a Wendy"s" "Now kith" "Take my angry upvote" The pun chains, and song lyric comment chains that you have to scroll through just to see the first relevant comment. And always in the middle of those chains is something like. "This is why I love Reddit". Well, you can keep it. I do hope Schnoodle moves over here though.
This is (mostly) only in car subreddits, but actual car owners getting insulted and ridiculed for their new car choice by teenagers. I've seen this before on Reddit and this triggers me to no end.
Eh if you get a crossover SUV instead of a more practical and cheaper station wagon, hatchback or sedan that gives you more space and features for less money, I will still ridicule you.
Gonna be honest here, I believe crossover SUVs are actually more practical than sedans/hatchbacks for the average user. Higher ground clearance makes it easier to enter/exit for the average Joe, better visibility for new drivers, and the feeling of a more spacious interior; and more ride height helps with potholes/bumper scraping too. This may not be a issue in America I presume, but it is a daily problem in developing countries like India.
I get that it's popular to hate on crossovers online, but really not every car buyers care about driving dynamics, or suitability for track days, or whatever. Do what you want, but people mostly won't care and some will not like it regardless.
Those damn comment copying bots. (Or any kind of malicious bot actually..)
Circlejerk communities. They almost always end up being worse than the actual places they make fun of.
Probably because people who choose to spend their day mocking other people or ideas aren't very good people to begin with.
