I remember you from a discussion I had here about COVID and you had an actually respectable opinion. Why act like this, then? What is wrong with anything that I said?

Where's the masculine posturing?

Do you understand that this is a criticism of site culture on the whole and not an individual categorization? Not every single interaction with every single user will be an example of this. It is all over the site, though. Dirtbag left shit is always like this; it was in the old r/cth days and it's not that much better here. The people who try to make things better get run off or leave burnt out from trying to cope with the dissonance. This is the identity problem. Lots of people just want their bro-bro locker room podcast Twitter dunks and others want an inclusive community with shared values, and those two worlds are constantly creating friction.

I was asking for an example or two within this community.

In this thread alone I was told "it's not that serious bro," when I am not a bro, lol. I can go digging for receipts, but to be honest I don't want to. There are so many posts complaining about this from the last several years of deleted users who left because of it that I don't feel like this is a question in good faith from someone who has been paying attention for a length of time.
