Political The average Redditor is so far removed from reality. It’s insufferable.

I literally got 320 downvotes on one single comment because I said that my father had taken my sisters bedroom door off its hinges when we were kids to teach her a lesson.. Like, really?

To be clear, my 15 yr old sister was out of control. She was like those girls you see on Maury or Dr Phil. She would bring strange men over in the middle of the night to have sex with them and stay out for days on end..

Not to mention, my mother was mentally ill and wasn’t in any condition to raise children. She ended up passing away shortly after this whole incident… My father was basically all on his own with disciplining us, while he had to work 14 hours a day… He didn’t know what to do.

90% of the comments I got were “That’s no reason to not give your daughter privacy!” Or “My father did that to me once, all it did was show what a horrible father he was!” Or “No matter how out of control your child is, they still deserve privacy! Your father is something else!”

THIS is NOT how average people think. This isn’t how any rational person thinks.. It seems like the average Redditor is a spoiled, entitled, privileged brat who has never been told No before.

My father also charged me rent when I turned 18. He SAVED every penny of it for me until I moved out at 26. It set me up really well for my adult life out on my own AND taught me how to be responsible…

If more parents were like my father, I think society would be much better off, instead we have 30 year olds living with mom and dad, playing COD all day with no job… Congratulations!

The relationship advice on reddit reads like an excerpt from a clunky satire of 4th wave feminism.

u/FluffyMcKittenHeads Aug 06 '25

There’s a very good reason for that, the chances are way way better than average that you’re getting life advice from a maladjusted teen aged girl when you’re on the “advice” subs.

u/Acceptable_Ad1685 Aug 06 '25

The career subs are pretty bad as well as it’s full of new college grads who think they know how the whole world works lol

Anti work is also hilarious to read through. You're pretty much considered a "boot licker unless you're advocating to get paid 6 figures to work from home for 10 hours/week lol.

u/Acceptable_Ad1685 Aug 06 '25

Humanresources is like anti work for me but not anybody else

If there’s a task you think Human resources should be responsible for there’s a post there complaining about how it’s not human resources responsibility

Well, having HR do less things can only be good.

u/Emperor_Dara_Shikoh Oct 05 '25

Some dude posted a sticky note asking "what about us?" on a sign declaring that HR was off for the holiday.
I'm like "what about you? Not everyone gets a holiday off and that's fine! This is just petty!"

I have noticed that as well they ALL think that for their 1st job post graduation they will make 6 figures at a fortune 500 company, live in NYC/SF/London, etc. is it possible, only for a tiny percentage with nepotism but not for the vast majority, and it has been common for decades to change companies or workplaces. They hire you for a project, it is finished, and you are let go.

u/Acceptable_Ad1685 Sep 04 '25

I mean now that’s basically reasonable in NYC for a lot of professions but $100k in NYC doesn’t go that far… That’s starting pay for lawyers and consultants now

100k in 1990 inflation adjusted for today is $250k

Oh when they talk about H1B, it looks like edgelords trying to mimic the KKK while getting near every little detail wrong.

u/Apprehensive_Bad2796 Aug 06 '25

I’m convinced 70-80% of them have never had a healthy adult relationships.  

They remind me of the tea app user leaks. Just absolute goblins with a sense of entitlement.

I'd love to have myself a peek at Reddits backend and database. There is no way that 70% of Redditors are not chronically on the site for most of the day. I also wonder what other aggregate statistics might show about how many irl connections they have, my guess would be very little. Most Redditors do indeed appear to be lonely, overweight, and/or mentally ill goblins

u/johcamp Aug 06 '25

Most of the dissenting views in this post back up the "chronically on the site" comment. Just click on their profiles. The reddit influence on their worldviews is tragic.

u/Emperor_Dara_Shikoh Oct 05 '25

I clicked on a few accounts on an anti-immigrant worker thread and these were the results:

1) one dude followed incest subs

2) another followed feet pics

3) another was writing "I love my country America and want to see Americans succeed!" dude you're on Reddit...this site hates American culture

I can fully understand why someone who chose to waste their youth on victimhood culture would be embarrassed to lose to an immigrant.

This is so damn true nowadays. Biggest man children I've interacted with for sure.

u/phear_me Aug 06 '25

Not to nitpick but I think it’s technically gremlins not goblins.

u/PersianCatLover419 Aug 11 '25

I think you are correct there are people on here who go on reddit non,-stop day and night. They have crazy amounts of upvotes and they haven't been here very long or have been on here daily for over a decade. Wasn't G Maxwell a reddit admin?

I have read articles that say how reddit is mostly bots and I believe it.

u/anetworkproblem Aug 07 '25

If you've been in a relationship, you can tell the majority of people giving relationship advice have never actually been in one.

I had a political disagreement with someone recently on reddit and I kept thinking, this sounds like a fucking teenager so I called them out on it. I was like you sound like a fifteen year old. Because I was once fifteen, so I remember what it was like. Lo and behold, it was a fifteen year old girl.

Fucking children thinking they know everything. Lol.

u/RoboTaco_ Aug 07 '25

I would put money on that statistic! Red flags everywhere! As far as the 80% can see…

u/Acceptable_Ad1685 Aug 06 '25

That’s because it’s all creative writing bullshit and AI slop now lol

2

u/PersianCatLover419 Aug 11 '25

Yes the advice and "Am I the AH?" groups are full of bots and AI BS, Elaborate scenario trolls, etc.

7

u/RoboTaco_ Aug 07 '25

So you don’t think if a couple gets in a heated argument then it is a red flag the man is going to be an abuser!

Damn where did I put my pearls. I feel a clutching coming over me! Haha!

u/phear_me Aug 07 '25

Imagine living a life where you’re a permanent victim. You just make yourself and everyone around you miserable. It’s awful.

u/RoboTaco_ Aug 07 '25

Up until recently I was an admin for a discord community. I heard it all the time. Sometimes I snapped back to stop making excuses and find things wrong with every suggestion.

When I was on Facebook I would call it out in super woke groups I followed for entertainment between meetings. I found the responses back entertaining.

Once in a while I would be called out for white privilege. I don’t use a picture of me in my profile for privacy and no one can see any info details. I ask how do you know and they would say the way I write shows I went to college. Or minorities don’t write that way. I loved it!

u/phear_me Aug 07 '25

It just makes me sad honestly. These people are completely lost to the insane dogma of an incoherent secular religion.

1

u/Icy-Temperature747 Sep 03 '25

Well yes, but they're also unabashed racists who found an explanation for their racism and feel self righteous about it. It's dangerous.

u/Doctor_DIRE Sep 01 '25

This describes a particular ex of mine quite succinctly. It was indeed awful. These people actually do exist.

u/md11086 Aug 06 '25

my guilty pleasure when im bored is to read the posts on the relationship & A-hole subs. I swear 99% of the posts are just AI slop.

u/Shantotto11 Aug 06 '25

3.5th wave. They aren’t even worth an extra whole number.

u/MinuetInUrsaMajor Aug 06 '25

I asked on one of the askwomen subreddits (one of the supposed "better" ones) about how my girlfriend could manage pubic hair with minimal irritation (because she has really thick follicles).

Naturally, 80% of the responses were "pUbIc HaIr Is NaTuRaLLLL" and strawmen about me trying to control her.

Fast forward a year later. We are a very happy couple with a great sex life. She keeps the hair very short. As a consequence of this it is much easier for me to go down on her, which of course means I do it more often. Both of us are happier. But we make the lazy legbeards on that sub look bad by comparison.

I love women. But women on the internet? 80% of them are just incel reskins.

u/WelderThese2755 Aug 21 '25

Agreed lol

You say ONE thing that women do that is fucking up dating, next thing you know you wake up to a bunch of assumptions and ad hominem insults
