i'll start. i saw a ask reddit post saying something along the lines of "men of reddit whats something women can't understand" and the comments were just. oh my god. the main one that made me want to puke was "when dudes walk by each other and nod" and the whole fucking thread was just fedoras with arms soypogging like it was some secret language or something. "when you nod upwards, it means respect!!!!!1!!11 when you nod downwards its aggression!!!1!11!!!!!" as if women dont do the same shit.

do you guys have something similar to share?

Where to begin, one of the latest disgusting ones I browsed was a worker on the Dollar Tree sub getting sexually harassed/assaulted while at work and per course misogynist, psychotic, classist redditors come out of the wood work to victim shame her.

I still nod at the dudes, actually. I think it confuses them. I never see women nod like that, honestly.

One I didn't see mentioned yet, the r/jailbait subreddit, a pedo community about posting provocative pics of underage girls.

In 2008 redditors voted it the "subreddit of the year", and it was protected by reddit at the highest levels.

Erik Martin, general manager of Reddit, defended the subreddit by saying that such controversial pages were a consequence of allowing free speech on the site.

It took Anderson Cooper doing a story on it for reddit to finally take action.

Just saw people who play magic hanging their commander from the middle of their deck, and everyone clapping and not offering much pushback... Bout to brew a deck list all about shuffling opponents decks if I see one in the wild... No I will not let people just have fun.
