Cancerous Reddit reference. Please let that shit die I fucking hate what that site has become. It used to be my favorite and now there are too many bitter reminders

I get the joke, but hunter2. Activated my fight or flight too

As /u/abc said (just now), it's an old IRC reference that was a meme before reddit even existed. Did reddit discover it and run it into the ground or something? My condolences...

Neat, didn't know that. It's not like it's a problem anyway - wanna know what redditspeak actually sets off a fight or flight response?

Oof, that's a yikes from me. I literally can't even right now. Oh sweet summer child, you do realize you are making me lose all faith in humanity? Lets unpack this. It's almost as if maybe, just maybe, your toxic, problematic behavior towards Zelensky is because someone hurt you. Just shut up and listen. It's called being a decent human being, and as a tankie, YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE . Let that sink in. drops mic

Edit: Thanks for the gold kind stranger. I'll say it louder for the people in the back!

That should set off any fight or flight, that's just a cluster of red flags (and not in a socialist way!) of condescending egotism, combined with the vibe of that gossipy immature schoolkid stereotype:

it's not like it's a problem anyway

Yeah, although it's interesting to realise that so much of 'reddit culture' was just looted from other cultures and then driven into the ground by a mass of culture-consumers who think they're in-jokes. Even small things like "this" are lifted out of a context where they made some sense (on sites that don't have voting or reaction emotes, where you have to reply to show agreement), then misappropriated and repeated on loop, taking up a dumb amount of space and effort to say nothing.
