I get the point you're trying to make but to think that a car driver would find another car driver jumping a red light "cute" is laughably naïve
This just describes lemmy so well
I'll take naïve Lemmy kids over violently abusive Reddit kids any day though
Fun fact. The average age of Lemmy users is higher than Reddit.
There is still many kids here, but Lemmy is much less "accessible" than Reddit meaning it's less attractive to younger folks.
It's a bit of a small culture shock when you compare how Lemmy users who have a job and family talk about their lifes versus Reddit users who obviously still go to school.
It's a Simpson's quote.
Did you honestly think I was being serious? I can't see how you could think I was bring "laughably naïve" without being "laughably naïve" yourself. No offence intended.
Naïve doesn't equal "Doesn't watch cheaply-produced, low-quality comedy" though
The naïve part is you not understanding nuance or humour, nothing to do with a TV show.
You've used both your comments to allude to your superiority so I would suggest to you that you reconsider the toxicity. It's not warranted.
