A lot of Reddit has become overrun by toxic idiots. I was in r/tvshow today and a whole pile of people were defending racism.

Man, it frigging sucks. It’s incredible the amount of toxicity on this kinda shit and like discord and so forth. It’s why I really take no part in a lot of fandoms anymore either and am im very very few discord chats. It’s all Just misery, entitlement and toxicity. People complaining and bitching about anything and absolutely everything. It’s like “hello…..this is a Godzilla discord folks lol 😂 ”. The Retro gaming scene is really similar too. It kinda sucks because I’d love to enjoy it with other folks and I do to a point but like 80% of folks are absolutey misery entitled

A good portion of commenters are bots with goals to normalize antisocial behavior to promote destabilization and polarization.

But there is still a good portion that are real people and well… it sucks.

Until we invent a platform that's immune to bots and/or bigoted morons, I'm afraid the suckage will stay.

We used to have that - the platform was called "talking in person" and the advantages were a lack of anonymity and the chance you'd get punched in the mouth for spouting bigoted bullshit, or at best ostracized and shamed by all the sane people.

But the internet means anonymity for everyone and this is the double-edged sword of that - idiots getting to say whatever they want and feel validated while rich a-holes send an army of bots to compete with them for dumbest, craziest comments.

X-Files reboot

It appears that everyone in the thread is dumb as shit, including the above poster on his crusade to scold internet racists

Scolding internet racists is commendable behavior.

This is funny and pretty ironic your statement. Stating it’s become overrun with toxic idiots. I’d say it’s always been that way and now maybe you’re just seeing a bit less of extreme left shit.
