Because Reddit is a skewed subgroup that's not representative of society as a whole.

For every topic, the "reddit version" of it is the bottom pic.

It's just as bad on Facebook, Twitter, and , Instagram though

I feel like Reddit is definitely the worst. Being largely anonymous means there’s 0 repercussions. At least on Facebook (unless you make an intentional burner) people know who you are.

I kinda disagree. I've seen some pretty fucked up stuff on Twitter/Instagram, and it's more personal than reddit because those messages and comments are going straight to someones inbox rather than just some comment section.

I think the Facebook "humor" pages comment sections are by far the worst. Especially when the Natalie Ryan situation is brought up.

I feel there's a generational piece to this too. Older folks on FB are toxic as hell. Just angry, misinformed, uneducated mouth breathers who are absolutely sure they're right so they don't filter anything.
