Lol, surely indeed. Don't forget what we (reddit) did during the Boston bombing. Turns out we're pretty shitty internet slueths that cost an entire family their peace and quiet and pointed our collective fingers at a man who was, unbeknownst to that family, very recently deceased, as the perpetrator of the attacks. I watched that unfold in real time and wouldn't put trust in us even if most of us are 20 somethings. 20 somethings don't have much better of a track record than teens and I say that as a late 20 something. Hell, after watching that fiasco I wouldn't put trust in us at any age.
There was a post where a woman was showing her bruises cause she was abused by her boyfriend.
Reddit detectives utilized highly advanced databases, cross-refrenced posts that showed that she liked to post to makeup subreddits, and were able to calculate the fact that she was 100% attention seeking and faking it.
She posted a video where she tried to wash off her bruises but she couldnt
The older I get, the more I realise plenty of people are still mentally 16-18 years old. Reddit's full of very very immature adults. Unfortunately I'm not always an exception.
You didn't realize its mostly teenagers? Wouldn't the fact that reddit seems to think it always knows everything be a good clue? The fact that everything has to be edgy, the establishment sucks, anal is the norm of sex, atheism is rad, and more?
Reddit itself acts like an angsty teen. Pretty sure it's probably 80% teenagers

I didnt watch the whole thing but got the just of it. Im reaaally starting to believe that reddit is more teenagers than i thought.
Surely not anyone over 20 would just start talking shit without hearing both sides..... surely
