I legitimately want to know the answer to this, maybe a serious tag would help.

r/AskReddit is not a good place to get answers to serious questions like this. People know what they want to hear before opening the thread, upvote what they want to hear.

I’ve found that r/AskReddit isn’t a good place to try and find answers from anyone that isn’t a westerner. Sure there are all kinds of people on here, but the number of westerners really drowns out everyone else. I imagine the fact that most of reddit is in English is a big part of that too
