i'll start. i saw a ask reddit post saying something along the lines of "men of reddit whats something women can't understand" and the comments were just. oh my god. the main one that made me want to puke was "when dudes walk by each other and nod" and the whole fucking thread was just fedoras with arms soypogging like it was some secret language or something. "when you nod upwards, it means respect!!!!!1!!11 when you nod downwards its aggression!!!1!11!!!!!" as if women dont do the same shit.

do you guys have something similar to share?

Oh god I used to be subscribed to that subreddit.

The reaction to the removal of an obvious hate sub was what made me re-evaluate my outlook on life. I remember everyone going "we weren't ACTUALLY hating fat people. We were saving their lives by bullying them thin"
and I thought "wait, but I thought we did hate fat people That's all that was ever posted, I thought we all just agreed that it was fun and good to hate them. Why are you lying?"

Then seeing all the responses rightly pointing out how fucked up an outlook you'd need to have to hate people for being fat made me reconsider not being a dumb asshole.

Now I'm perfect of course ✨✨
