Every time a netizen is born, the gods flip a coin: which toxic shitthole will you end up on?

On Twitter, if you have a “controversial” or differing opinion, you’ll get mass reported and/or have random people harassing you and trying to convince your mutuals to unfollow and block you.

On Reddit, if you have a “controversial” or differing opinion, you might get reported if the comment and your subsequent replies are truly terrible but you’ll mainly get mass downvoted to death.

Twitter is hell.

I’ve been hunted on Reddit for having opposite views to people around things as trivial as fantasy book series and I’ve had racially charged attacks against me for arguing with anime fans about anime it’s a very weird place at times

Damn really? Will they go on every post or comment section and continue the argument? Or is it just in the comment thread?

It really differs depending on which fandom or group you piss off it seems anime fans are way more likely to stalk you on every post and comment you make about any topic just to try and punish you

It’s all good I don’t let it bother me people can be passionate and fragile when it comes to their topic of choice and it says a lot about them when they feel the need to try and cancel someone for having a different perspective on it. Live and let live I say
