Also the sheer level of sadism that comes out in a relationships story about infidelity
Everything short of admitting to fantasizing about murdering the cheater gets you called a doormat these days, and victims of very concerted deception efforts get called idiots for being deceived.
Don't take creative writing subs seriously my friend
which is pretty much every sub for the past 20 years so don't take anything on reddit seriously
Jerry's line always cracks me up
"If you ever cheat on me with him I'll blow my brains out all over your beautiful bodies"
I remember an Ask Reddit for people that cheated. Most of them were in an abusive or manipulative relationship of some kind, yet most still felt guilty for acting out. Some chose to cheat and be caught because everything else they tried to get away hadn't worked—obviiusly even that didn't work in some cases.
Yeah but those aren't usually the people who get the reddit stories specifically about them,
Honestly I think that explains the phenomenon, it's a reporter effect, everyone lashes out so hard at cheaters because the ones they hear about aren't deliberately trying to escape a toxic relationship, they're selfish and narcissistic or lead into that mindset enough to destroy someone else's life over it.
Honestly I just think it's a sign that we need more supporting resources available to people, like state run shelters and stuff, because not being able to find security if they leave is what traps so many people in abusive relationships to begin with.
Right next to that is the "fuck around and find out" (and all the variations of it) in my list of phrases I will downvote on sight
So, if we post fuck around and find out with you around we....fuck around and find out...
everyone knows, there's a certain amount of fucking around you get for free. the real problem is that the finding out part can happen quick, and seem to come out of nowhere.
Even the most toxic shit I saw on Lemmy is a normal day on Reddit in comparison.
It’s not perfect. There are Reddit 2.0 out there. But luckily they have been defederated.
I hate to tell you this, but Lemmy.world is the most Reddit like instance out there.
You are now banned from /c/pyongyang
You are now moderator of /c/sino
In terms of toxicity? Definitely not.
Give me the next cliched comment….
I’ll wait.
This.
And my axe!
Tell me you're a redditor without telling me you're a redditor
Thanks for the gold, kind stranger.
Edit: speling
Came here to say this.
"well they should just build public transit there!"
If anything, Lemmy is even worse for this one.

To the top with you!
I play non-stupid games and still get stupid prizes.
How is a black screen with white text that says "contratulation" a good prize? It took me like 3 days to beat that game, man.
Play stupid games, fuck around and be in the find out stage. (⌐■_■)
Wasn't this how Pet Sematary begin?
The pot calling the kettle black
I don't even get the reference but I remember how much cringe there was on Reddit.
