This is every thread asking for relationship advice on Reddit. Every last one of them is effectively structured as "My BF was unimaginably cruel to me, and I had a totally natural reaction to it, am I in the wrong here??" If it hits the top of r/relationshipadvice, there has to be a 50% chance it's either real or a total fabrication. They all know to go to r/relationshipadvice to ask their question, but they ask as if they've never even seen regular top content on the subreddit, which likely would align directly with their situation, and yield them the same advice. Any of these "ask reddit" subreddits has to be an exercise in creative writing, I swear. Edit: Also, most of them never actually reply to anyone in the comments, which really signals to me that these stories are just made the fuck-up half the time.
Many parts of the internet could do with this disclaimer:
"The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood. Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact."
most useful thing about /b/
I apply it to everything, hexchappo included. Unless you see video, the person posts their name, ID, address, etc. and there's public records, it's not real. I'd like to think there aren't any grifters on here, but there should always be enough skepticism to watch for rage bait. Other websites, even ones like Facebook with people's real names, should be treated as thought they aren't real. Anonymous text like on reddit and 4chan? Definitely not real.
Too many people take everything they see online at face value. The only person you can know for sure is yourself. You can learn a lot of cool shit online and meet even cooler people. Just don't believe everything you hear and see.
