Why wouldn’t they be? Anons story implies that he’s less attractive than Tom Scott, who’s not exactly a pillar of traditional masculinity. Also it’s 4chan, what do you expect? /tv/ isnt as bad as /pol/ or /b/, but it’s still up there as one of the worst boards on the site.

I guess... I've just never seen so much unprovoked toxicity before though on my whole time on Lemmy/Reddit

They feed on toxicity, it's the only way they know that gets the anger-produced adrenaline flowing through their veins. It's addictive. Makes them feel alive and living, rather than festering in a rubbish-filled room dying a day at a time.

Yeah, pretty much. There’s a reason it’s called the Internet Hate Machine.
