He’s not talking in general terms, he’s talking about the Gretta hate train on Reddit, and I for one agree with him.
Even at work grown ass men getting all fucking butt hurt over her fighting to make the world a better place. Disagree with her all you want, even disagree with her methods, but this fucking persecution complex because someone young (and let’s be honest, female) dares to try to make a change is just so pathetic.
What hate train? Reddit has millions of users, even if thousands say bad things about her doesn’t necessarily mean that theres a hate train coming for her, it’s still a small percentage of people who have their own opinion, regardless if you or me agree with them.
Just look at any thread with Greta in the title, all the top comments will be grown men whining about her, her methods, how she’s not making any difference, making fun of the way she talks or her appearance.
I don’t know how anyone can care so much about someone doing something they care about, but Redditors, uniquely, manage to get incredibly worked up.
I think it might depend how soon you look at the thread, and how you sort. I often find on Reddit people moaning about the deplorable mass replies to this or that, but by the time I get there, nine times out of ten the top comments are civil.
Ed: to be fair, though, I assume lots of awful nonsense on the internet so I tend to click past… So I suppose the civil comments have a survivorship bias in my memory.
Also, why are you complaining about people complaining? Should everyone, including yourself, just shut it when it comes to expressing an opinion that might be seen as complaining by others? Or opinions that might offend others? The hipocrisy is huge…
People are usually way faster to give their opinion when it comes to complaining. It’s normal, deal with it or don’t.
