It's the SRS model of telling minorities what positions they are required to have.
Of course, if you don't agree, you're a "special snowflake."
Nah, 'special snowflake' is what they call those brave minorities who come out on reddit and basically confirm the circlejerk. I'm pretty sick of those too, especially since half the time a quick glance through their history can easily confirm that they are not in fact minority or claimed numerous conflicting minority status in the past.
I'm talking about stuff like when reddit goes on their weekly 'black women are loud and obnoxious amirite guise' and then a brave black man shows up to say 'black man here, can confirm they are the worst' or stuff like this. That's when SRS goes on their 'speshul snowflake' stuff. You don't have to be from SRS to be fed up with the circlejerking and casual racism/sexism on this site.
>Nah, 'special snowflake' is what they call those brave minorities who come out on reddit and basically confirm the circlejerk.
Those people exist as well, but in most cases "special snowflake" definitely refers to someone who belongs to a minority and disagrees with them. That would be most of us, by the way.
What do you mean, 'disagrees with them'? Please be more specific - I don't think I understood your reference. Can you give examples to help me better understand?
I don't follow SRS much but in all the times I've seen that word used it was always about either a woman or a black person who came out on a sexist/racist reddit thread and said 'as a woman/black man all of this stuff is true'. Which is bullshit because the threads have the tendency to be very nasty and the woman/black person just further validate the racist/sexist reddit circlejerk. Best part is when women/black people show up to speak out against the racism/sexism they usually get downvoted either to hell or enough to put them in neutral and still bury them.
Disagrees with the various narratives they (SRS) spin about minorities. It could be something supposedly homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, and so on.
SRS: This is what it's like for minorities!
Minorities: No, not really.
SRS: Whatever, you're just special snowflakes!
The thing is that even if it's actually a black person validating something racist towards black people, which I don't think is what happens in most "special snowflake" cases, it's still really fucked up for a bunch of white people to basically tell a black person that his/her opinions aren't "black enough", or that he/she consider themselves special for being black. Find a better way to criticise that person than focusing on their ethnicity.
You'd think that'd be common sense to a group that thinks of itself as the defender of minorities.
You're creating a hypothetical. I am using examples of specific reddit threads. I'm sure that we can all agree that reddit can be very racist or sexist at times. Whenever some self-proclaimed black person comes in defense of reddit by saying that it is totally true that women or black people suck, it's bullshit. It's not about 'not being black enough'. It's about how reddit will seize those circlejerk-approved opinions of minorities and use them as the proof that reddit's bigotry is justified. That's the problem. When a minority speaks out on something on reddit either they will or reddit will act as if one person somehow speaks for the entire race/gender. That's the issue here, not the 'not black enough'.
SRS doesn't just use 'speshul snowflake' in regards to black people as you noted. It's for everyone who bravely speaks out in defense of the bigotry circlejerk as a member of the target group. That includes women, religious minorities, blacks, other ethnicities, various sexual orientations, etc. Using the 'Uncle Tom' analogy just doesn't have enough weight here.
I hope that SRS does not regard itself as the 'defender' of minorities. That's quite patronising and I am fairly sure most of them understand this. They're more of a meta-jerk about how shitty reddit is. Why they don't just leave reddit is another question, maybe they enjoy being offended and angry but the point is that reddit is shitty, yes, and that SRS attacks reddit for being shitty. Personally I'm simply addicted to reddit and especially picking arguments with people on all sorts of topics, so that's why I hang around.

I'd say that we're both talking about hypotheticals, based on what we've seen happen on reddit. Neither you or I mentioned specific examples, if that's what you mean by "hypothetical."
If you dismiss someone who belongs to a minority by calling them a "special snowflake" then you're absolutely focusing on the fact that they're part of that minority and using that to dismiss them. You're basically saying "how cute, look at the little minority person trying to be special by having an opinion that you (as part of a minority) shouldn't have."
So while what you're talking about does happen, SRS gets it wrong more times than they get it right.. and even when they by luck happen to get it right, it's still a fucking stupid thing to say, for the reasons I mentioned above.

No, as I mentioned it applies to all minorities:
"Disagrees with the various narratives they (SRS) spin about minorities. It could be something supposedly homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, and so on."
It's for everyone who's part of a minority and disagrees with what SRS thinks minorities should believe.

SRS is quite patronising towards minorities, and they pretty angry when you point out that most of them aren't minorities themselves, which is telling. It's apparently even their job to protect minorities from themselves, which is why they'll also accuse minorities who disagree with them of having internalised their own oppression, which is basically to dismiss them as brainwashed.
Everyone knows that reddit is shitty, it's just SRS that doesn't know that they're part of what makes it shit.
>Nah, 'special snowflake' is what they call those brave minorities who come out on reddit and basically confirm the circlejerk.
Why doesn't SRS just come out with it and call them "uncle toms"? Then again, if they did the cognitive dissonance would probably be too glaring even for them.
Edit: Better tell those colored folk what racist things to be offended by!
The last time they tried that a bunch of black folks were pretty upset that the mostly white male audience of SRS was appropriating the term Uncle Tom.
I don't care how SRS calls those people. I dislike those people and I think they are fair game. Of the groups that I belong to, I belong to the Russian and gay communities. If anyone gay or anyone Russian uttered an offensive generalisation about the rest of the Russians, I would call them fair game for a rebuke.
MRAs love to defend all sorts of offensive rubbish under 'free speech!!11' and love nothing more than to rebuke those whom they perceive as 'easily offended' but it's lovely how quickly they become very sensitive when it comes to shit that SRS does.
>free speech!!11
Whenever someone is "quoting" their opposition and they substitute "!"s with "1"s, in an effort to make their opposition's argument seem stupider, they immediately discredit their entire statement. It's incredibly immature and juvenile, and horribly cliche and unoriginal.
Oh noes, I am so sorry for offending your notions of propriety!!! Here I thought people on this site care about legitimate problems like bigotry but little did I know that even an issue as serious as bigotry is immediately discounted on the basis of a grammar fascism and utterly serious redditors who never do anything that is the least bit undignified.
I mean, what's the problem of racism compared to real issues like the cliched formatting?? Redditor goodsirs know that the real issue today facing us is the lack of propriety, which is why I am certain gentlesirs like you avoid undignified subs like /r/AdviceAnimals.
Well, let me guess what your personal views on this matter are based on your post.... Somehow it's not terribly hard. I'm going to repost the analogy I used in this thread already: redditors like you are people who sit on a dungpile in their yard and yell at the dog pooping on their lawn.
You can't even quote someone. You have to take their position, twist it into a caricature, then spit out your exaggerated version of their opinion. Why do you feel the need to do this? If their position is so deplorable, surely it needs no further exaggeration to make it obvious, yet you still need to do it.
Is it possible that perhaps if you need to paint your adversaries as idiotic cartoons who don't know the difference between a "!" and a "1", that it's your argument that isn't so good?

This is like the 5th time in this thread you've brought up MRAs. Who, and where, are these mythical MRAs in this thread? And SRS has the freedom to call black people "uncle toms" or "special snowflakes" or whatever they want, just as I can laugh at the inherent hypocrisy in being white and calling a minority a special snowflake while simultaneously claiming to fight racism.
No one is angry, no one is offended. We're laughing.
This whole thread is confusing as fuck.
Every time you mention SRS, MRAs flock to the thread, along with the SRSers themselves. If you're going to talk about the yin, you may as well mention the yang.
It's not hypocritical at all. You can forcefully twist the word into whatever you want, but it's still a shitty thing to go on reddit and pretend to be a minority/be a minority and say hateful things about your minority, confirming thousands of racist views. 'Speshul Snowflake' is getting off pretty lightly in my view. And that's exactly what they are doing, do not deny.
It being a shitty thing to do doesn't negate the fact that white people are calling a black person an uncle tom for their views. Using a racist term to combat racism doesn't make the term any less racist.
>You can forcefully twist the word into whatever you want
I'll continue to use its exact definition, thanks though.
Well what do you propose then? Funny, you don't sound like that type of a person who goes around threads pointing out bigotry. I can't tell you precisely why, but I just don't think you do. Why do you make issue of this? To score off points against SRS? Is this not also hypocrisy? Of all the ways you can score off points against SRS legitimately, you're going to do this?
I took the liberty of checking your comments history. You're not a legitimate concerned redditor who stands up against bigotry as I may have allowed you to be for the benefit of the doubt. You just hate the SRS and show up to every thread with SRS in it. Lots of people who hate the SRS will defend to their dying breath their own right to say edgy things. Are you going to give me a lecture about how SRS just need to learn how to take a joke and accept racist/sexist 'humour'?
Also, not an MRA, are you? Funny, as if obsessing over SRS on every other comment was not enough, I found your history to be that of the most stereotypical MRA, complete with the obsession with false rape accusations that are so loved by redditor MRAs. Y'know, as opposed to being concerned about the fact that it is next to statistically impossible to serve jail time for rape due to the sheer number of unreported rapes, rape accusations that do not result in trial, lack of conviction rates, etc... Or the fact that millions of women are raped and false rape accusations are proportionally miniscule. But whatever, you're an MRA, those things don't bother you...
Holy shit. Quite the wall of text here.
>Well what do you propose then?
Not calling black people uncle toms would be a good start, lol.
>Funny, you don't sound like that type of a person who goes around threads pointing out bigotry. I can't tell you precisely why, but I just don't think you do. Why do you make issue of this?

lol, wtf man. What 'points" are being scored? It's not an issue, just something that I think is hilarious, and is pretty typical of SRS.
>I took the liberty of checking your comments history.
Why does this not surprise me?
>You're not a legitimate concerned redditor who stands up against bigotry as I may have allowed you to be for the benefit of the doubt. You just hate the SRS and show up to every thread with SRS in it.
I think SRS is hilarious. I certainly don't hate them. Reddit would be a shit load less funny without them. And I lurk a lot of meta subs, so they tend to be brought up regularly.
> Funny, as if obsessing over SRS on every other comment was not enough, I found your history to be that of the most stereotypical MRA, complete with the obsession with false rape accusations that are so loved by redditor MRAs.
Lol, no. Feel free to link to some of my recent "false rape" comments.
>But whatever, you're an MRA, those things don't bother you...
Lol, no. Nice try though scooter. MRAs are about as whiny, and hilarious, as SRS is. To be honest SRS and MRAs are two sides of the same coin IMO. Lamers who have nothing to do but cry foul at internet comments all day. I laugh at them both.
>Not calling black people uncle toms would be a good start, lol.
First off, 'special snowflake' is its own word. It's a different word. It has similar connotations, but it is a different word. If we blend definitions than where do we stop? Secondly, that's exactly what those people are doing. They are going to reddit and confirming the reddit's racism. Why the hell do I have an obligation to be pleasant to them? You're not worrying about racism at all here, but when racists are getting called out, you get huffy? Way to have priorities, mate.
>I think is hilarious, and is pretty typical of SRS.
Sure, 'hilarious'. So funneh. Don't try to act nonchalant. You're obsessed. Your entire post history is mostly an anti-SRS crusade. You're as MRA as they get.
>Why does this not surprise me?
Oh noes, I am a monster, am I not? I prefer to have my accusations substantiated before I make them. Stop acting like your comment history is sacrosanct. You posted that shit here and it's public.
> I think SRS is hilarious. I certainly don't hate them.
Funny, for someone who passes SRS off as a 'hilarious joke' you're awfully obsessed with attacking them in every other comment of yours. You have an axe to grind, an obsession to pursue.
>Lol, no. Feel free to link to some of my recent "false rape" comments.
You're right, they're not recent. I don't have time to go through your comment history. I sorted your comments by 'controversial' and found that you commented on false rape. It's as MRA as it gets, literally. In a world where rape is such a massive and chronically untreated, unpunished problem only an MRA can take that issue up and champion it at the cost of actual rape victims.
> I laugh at them both.
It's nice that you found a way to feel superior to both, certainly.
> Nah, 'special snowflake' is what they call those brave minorities who come out on reddit and basically confirm the circlejerk
Uncle Tom is such a cute thing to call people, why not say what you really mean?
I don't care how they call them, you see. Perhaps you mistake me for an SRSer. I am not going to pussyfoot with language. If some idiot is helping out the good ol' reddit circlejerk by bravely confirming which his own minority group is just as shitty as the racist redditors would have it, I'm going to call that person what they deserve to be called. Nobody has the right to make offensive generalisations about a particular group. If you do that, well, you deserve the rebuke you get.
If you're so awfully concerned about racism, why don't you take a look at mountains of garbage reddit produces every day. The mostly blatantly racist things upvoted no matter how irrelevant or blatant they are. Hell, I remember when there was in /r/pics a photo of black youths throwing rocks at passing cars outside of a KFC. One of the highest-upvoted comments simply said 'niggers'. Or for a recent example, that thread two days ago where there was a joke about immigrants or something and then all of the sudden a wholly unrelated comment appears about how 'teenage black women are the worst breed of people ever' and that was a top-level comment, not in response to anything.
Reddit is literally a latrine of every sort of disgusting view you can think of. SRS catalogues a lot of these things and for some goddamn reason they're practically the only ones who speak out against it. Whenever I criticise someone's blatant sexism/racism most of the 'arguments' against me simply say 'go back to SRS'. Besides the fact that I don't even belong there it's telling that any reasonable speaking out against bigotry is met with such a response.
All in all, I just love how the MRAs or other detractors of SRS criticise them and search them for every fault -- it's like a person sitting on a dungheap yelling at a dog for pooping on their yard.
Reddit is racist? Ooh this will be fun. Please prove that statement to me. Please prove to me that reddit as a whole is a community of racists.
What, are you just fucking with me or do you enjoy wasting people's time? Do I have to give you thousands of racist comments that were highly upvoted? Just save us all some time and go read SRS. If you can wade through their craziness you can still end up with a wagonload of rubbish that goes on in reddit on a daily basis.
Nothing 'as a whole' is conclusively one community of anything. There are always different people. But reddit has upvotes and downvotes. Highly-upvoted comments reflect the views of the site. If there are a lot of racists, the comments will be upvoted and if not enough people oppose racism, there won't be enough downvotes to sink the comment to neutral or negative.
> Do I have to give you thousands of racist comments that were highly upvoted?
No of course not! You simply have to prove your assertion that reddit is racist. I mean you obviously have clear proof of this since you are advocating it right?
> Nothing 'as a whole' is conclusively one community of anything.
Oh so your statement was over reaching and made without proper evidence or support? Its good you can at least admit that.
> Highly-upvoted comments reflect the views of the site.
Oh do they? Could you prove that? How are you sure the votes aren't manipulated? Are you aware that reddit obscures true vote totals?
> If there are a lot of racists, the comments will be upvoted and if not enough people oppose racism, there won't be enough downvotes to sink the comment to neutral or negative.
Incorrect. What you should have said was "If there are a lot of people who can appreciate racial humor the comments will be upvoted" You havent even tried to show me a genuinely racist opinion that has been upvoted on a default subreddit. Thats all you have to do. Show me one singular majorly upvoted, on a default sub, legitimately racist opinion on reddit. Please. I would love to see it.
> a top-level comment
WOW! How'd they get to be a top level comment? It's like they had to make a post or something. That's really difficult.
Don't be intentionally stupid, the point of me pointing out that it was a top-level comment was that top-level comments imply that they are not a reply to anything, but rather that they are a comment on the submission that the OP made. In that case the submission had nothing even remotely to do with black people or black teenage women specifically. Yet despite being absurdly off topic and wildly racist -- fear not! -- reddit stil upvoted it highly. Like wtf? It's a wholly off-topic comment and should be downvoted simply for irrelevance if not for racism.
It's almost like.... You didn't actually read my post, just skimmed it for anything that you could use against me, without even bothering to check if you're going to look like an idiot for posting this or not...
No, it's just like you're acting surprised that there's shitty people on the internet.
Reddit more and more becomes a slice of all opinions. This means that really shitty opinions like racists, assholes, and ignorant people are going to get hundreds of upvotes out of the millions upon millions of people who read reddit.
What do you expect from 13-26 year old anonymous largely white males on a default sub? I expect 4chan levels of ignorance and racism and I expect to see at least one of the top 5 comments be a typical racist comment
You're changing the topic. You commented on the 'top-level' part. You were wrong there, I mentioned it was 'top level' for a specific reason which you did not even notice because you did not seem to even read my comment before finding a way to ridicule it.
Reddit will always have all sorts of opinions but upvotes aren't easy to come by necessarily. Thing is, a disgusting thing should be controversial and garner more -- or at least the same number of downvotes as it will gain in upvotes. In a normal community where bigotry is unacceptable.
I expect more actually, not the least because Google DoubleClick data puts redditors both in the mean and median age of 31-34. That's quite high. Other estimates have younger figures, but it is always around 21-29 on average. And if our new generation is that racist, then, well, why the hell do people continually deny that far too many people are racist and claim that SRS is overreacting and working hard in cherry-picking racism because reddit totally doesn't have a big problem with racism.
Why doesn't reddit police the racism? This isn't free speech zone. Racism is against the TOS. Do not compare reddit to 4chan. On 4chan the entire premise of the site is that 'anything goes'. On reddit there are subs that fill the need for 'anything goes' based on specific topics but reddit defaults in general are supposed to be accepting and well-mannered places. Lot of redditors pride themselves in being open-minded, accepting, and progressive. Where is all that? Why does reddit champion themselves as such progressives when this site can be so filthy? Truly, there is a great word for this - brogressive. Progressives that are progressive only selfishly - e.g. progressive about marijuana, regressive about racism.
4chan is different. They do not paint themselves as progressive, they are not sanctimonious like reddit, they don't waste their time on being nice and they're just a very different site for a very different set of needs. They produce the same Internet culture content but in a very different environment.
I wrote a bunch of stuff but then I deleted it because I realized I don't care about this argument as much as you do.
I don't want to continue it because it's mentally exhausting arguing with someone who fights to disagree with me about what I mean and with someone who has their mind already made up about the subject.
Oh god, I have my mind made up about a subject!! The horror!!! Too bad I am not an open-minded(tm) person who nonetheless mysteriously and inevitably takes up the same positions on the same subjects every time. Hah, don't pretend like you don't have your mind made up about this.
With hot-button topics like these you rarely to never see an SRSer become and MRA or an MRA become an SRSer. Or any redditor who has long-held views on either and isn't just starting out. People tend to be passionate about this or at the very least they know where they stand. I know where I stand. I am not even sure what is there here that needs to have my 'mind to be made up' about when the issue of reddit being bigoted is self-evident rather an opinion-based matter.
If SRS actually spoke out against bigotry when that what it was, most people wouldn't care. That isn't what happens. Also, they can be quite bigoted themselves and extremely hypocritical. Just because they believe they are superior and have better morals doesn't make it true. Some of the sickest things I've read on reddit have come from the comments there.
I don't think SRS is quite 'bigoted'. They're overzealous and oversensitive in some cases. Some have that obnoxious Tumblr SJW air over them. And others are just plain radicals. But all in all I hold SRSers in higher regard that your standard redditor. Reddit produces massively disgusting things on a daily basis and those things are highly upvoted too which speaks for their popularity. Often times SRS is the only group speaking out against that.
You're bullshitting pretty goddamn hard if you think SRS is home to the sickest things and not reddit defaults in general or places like /r/niggers, /r/ImGoingToHellForThis, /r/TheRedPill, etc. Reddit is 4chan lite but unlike 4chan reddit is more serious about their hate and simultaneously more butthurt if you rouse it.
Lots of redditors and/or redditor MRAs have an axe to grind against SRS so they will obsessively pursue anything from that direction. Case in point, the recent obsession of SRD with SRS and vice versa. I'm really tired of this honestly. If I wanted /r/SRSsucks or /r/SRS I would go to either one of those subs. On SRD I just want good ol' fashioned reddit drama without the ideological tint of either warring factions and the downvote brigades that follow anything you say on the war between those factions.
> That isn't what happens.
Bullshit. Even you claim 3/4s of the posts on srs are jokes/out of context/etc (doesn't excuse them imo) that stuff is still being called out on a daily basis. Also you lose a lot of points on your argument when you treat everyone in srs as a singular entity.
Gee, I wonder who else is fond of generalizing a highly diverse group as all having the same opinions. 'Redditors' uh huh... Generalizing redditors is literally all they do.
Also it's not just 'bigotry.' You cant say anything critical about feminism at all or they link and brigade you.
You must really hate r/circlejerk, truereddit, r/drama, srd, braveryjerk, etc if you hate people generalizing redditors. It's a catch all term, not an actual reflection of all people who use reddit. You take this stuff far too seriously to be so ignorant of basic terms.
>Also it's not just 'bigotry.' You cant say anything critical about feminism at all or they link and brigade you.
Oh god, another conspiracy theory. The admins have stated many times the anti srs subs brigade much harder than anything srs does. Inb4 theadminsareshills!
At least the other meta humor subs arent obnoxiously self righteous and can be decently funny sometimes. I like how you immediately accuse anyone critical of you of 'taking things too seriously'. Right, it's everyone else who overreacts. Not your precious SRS.
"Its different when we do it, waaaaah."
Conspiracy theory. Ok. Just leave this site since you clearly hate the userbase.
> At least the other meta humor subs arent obnoxiously self righteous and can be decently funny sometimes.
I find many of them just as funny as srs, sorry if it offends your opinion.
>I like how you immediately accuse anyone critical of you of 'taking things too seriously'. Right, it's everyone else who overreacts. Not your precious SRS.
You spend hours of your day on a regular basis on a side issue that concerns a small majority of a website meant for wasting time. That's taking things pretty seriously.
>"Its different when we do it, waaaaah." Conspiracy theory. Ok. Just leave this site since you clearly hate the userbase.
Or you could leave the site since it's you that's offended and clearly all the admins are against you. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
I hate all of those subs as well (except SRD).
> Oh god, another conspiracy theory. The admins have stated many times the anti srs subs brigade much harder than anything srs does. Inb4 theadminsareshills!
Ah, the good 'ol Appeal to Ridicule.
Then cough up some evidence, or are you gonna respond with that lame ass "first we're laughed at but then we win" meme conspiracy theorists oh so love to butter up their allegations?
I didn't treat any person in SRS any way. But it is the group it is all posted under. Just because the lunatics are running the asylum over there doesn't make all the people in it bad. And that stuff is more than just "out of context". Half the time, some idiot dreams up some dumbass interpretation that is in no way related to what was actually said. "This is what they really meant when they said this...."
Bullshit. Anyone that thinks any good is being done there is delusional. I get tired of being told that because I'm a woman, I'm not responsible for my actions or that any choice I make is because of men. The hypocrisy and bigotry practiced by plenty of the members there is just as bad, if not worse, than what they try to point out. Especially with the moral righteousness thrown in. It's just hilarious.

You're still trying to instill qualities of an individual in a diverse group, which is a nono. And no, it's not a interpretation most SRS posts are direct copy pastes of what is being said.

It's a circle jerk sub for people who are offended/don't like/have issue with parts of reddit. It's not for learning, but venting for most people and it's done plenty of good according to many people it's own users included. Just because they also attract a large portion of angry haters it does not invalidate that. I personally was extremely anti srs a couple years ago until I actually learned what was going on and it's helped me in my own ways. I think it's you that's being delusional by stating you were pushing pushed into an ideology in a circlejerk/part satire sub. You either knew that was a place not meant for serious discussion and tried anyway or didn't know and tried. Either way you were taking something from a place not meant for it. Your depiction of SRS is a strawman and things are more complicated than the stereotypical way you're putting them.
> You're still trying to instill qualities of an individual in a diverse group, which is a nono. And no, it's not a interpretation most SRS posts are direct copy pastes of what is being said.
It isn't the posts that are copy/pasted (since I have seen many and wondered why the hell they ended up there anyway) it's the comments made. ANd no, it isn't just prime that is that way (which is supposed to be cj) but most of the subs. I am well aware that everyone there isn't "that way". I didn't realize that saying "plenty" and "many" wouldn't be a clue to that.
And there really isn't a way to misinterpret some of the things said. It's pretty plain. There are some people there who can think in logical, rational ways and actually have a conversation but then there is this part that is hateful, bigoted and hypocritical. Just because you think you're morally superior doesn't make it so, nor does it excuse you when you do these things (under the guise of "Well, they were being worse").
Sorry you got snowed.

ANd no, it isn't just prime that is that way (which is supposed to be cj) but most of the subs. I am well aware that everyone there isn't "that way". I didn't realize that saying "plenty" and "many" wouldn't be a clue to that.
So you're stating out of context comments about out of context comments regarding usually copied pasted comments on reddit? Sounds reasonable. /s
>And there really isn't a way to misinterpret some of the things said. It's pretty plain. There are some people there who can think in logical, rational ways and actually have a conversation but then there is this part that is hateful, bigoted and hypocritical. Just because you think you're morally superior doesn't make it so, nor does it excuse you when you do these things (under the guise of "Well, they were being worse").
You're still stating everyone there is "morally superior" or acts a certain way with no actual proof or demographics of whats going on. It's like you didn't read that you're not supposed to make unproven generalizations if you want them taken seriously. Even SRS provides more proof for their generalizations than your posts.
>Sorry you got snowed.
What does that even mean? At best your posts are rambling on about unproven and unconnected opinions.
> Some of the sickest things I've read on reddit have come from the comments there.
Really? Do you only browse /r/aww or something?
