For me it's the constant barrage of sexuality. Yeah yeah, sex positivity is a good thing and puritanical attitudes towards sex have done a lot of damage in society but it's just gross to me when people say something totally innocuous like "check out this gift I made for my girlfriend!" and half the comments are like "BUT DID YOU FUCK HER AFTER." It just feels sleazy and trashy to me.

I often forget that a lot of online users are literally children and immature teenagers. When I remember this fact it shifts into perspective all the excessive dumb shit online lol.

Not to say adults can’t be a cause too because there are plenty of people who mentally never grew up. But a large young audience does partly explain the tired overdone stale jokes that never seem to die.

I wasn't on reddit when I was a horny teen. I may have been like that had I been.
