A few examples include s*x questions on askreddit, “this” comments, nolife powermods, jokes being more frequent than actual answers

I’ll counter and say that calling anyone you disagree with a racist/fascist in order to feel superior.

That shit was rampant on Reddit and seems to be slowly creeping into Lemmy as well.

Lol never mind, I guess it’s rampant here as well.

I’ve never been called either in nearly 12 years on Reddit (and being plenty active with ~120k comment karma).

Maybe if you often get called that you should re-evaluate your opinions?

brother I got called a racist for saying a football (soccer) player who happens to be black is shite
and football fans are way less trigger happy with accusations of racism than americans seem to be, even if they themselves are american for some reason

Not in my experience; you just have to interact with the right people and they’ll sling those accusations around like mashed potatoes in a food fight.

You are a fascist.

It’s easy to blend in when you blindly follow the narrative.

As if there is ever one “the” narrative. We’re all following narratives, brother.

I know you think you’re being clever, but you see it in almost every front page thread on Reddit.

If that’s an issue that actually affects you often enough to complain about it, maybe, uh, maybe you should, idunno, search your soul or something.

You know what they say about someone who is always complaining that every room smells like dog shit when he walks into it.

I never said people called me racist. I was a Reddit lurker. But you see it all over the place and unfortunately here too.

Such a sad way to live, constantly filled with anger and hatred.

Don’t be so quick to dismiss people’s anger. It comes from a place of their own truth. They probably have a good reason for it. Acknowledge the truth first and then address the complaint.
