this site is actually so mean literally all the time so im posting this here to let you know you’re not ‘too sensitive’ or something for not wanting to deal with attacks on your gender/body/intelligence for daring to exist and have fun online. the freaks that act like this are NOT the norm (they are just the loud and obnoxious minority) and it’s OK to take your time in recognizing this. <3

Probably the prevalence of american political posts + the fact that america is fighting a nazi cancer at the moment. A certain directness about a truly dogshit situation is fitting, and insisting on a rock-hard-pleasant tone with atrocities can border on lying.

It doesn't tend to happen on non-political memes, goofy stuff, or on (kinda surprisingly) Linux communities (mostly)

definitely happens on non political memes and linux communities in my experience :(

There aren't any non political memes. Maybe the toxicity comes from pretending there are
