context also heavily welcome.

    Probably one a few weeks ago where I said civilised people shouldn’t condone murder even if the victim is a bad person.

    I’m pretty sure my bickering about the election. I was very unpopular during that period. Now I’m just regular unpopular. 👍🏾

    One has -45 and that was when I told someone, who I since blocked, that I wasn’t going to look up something I knowingly talked about because of such thing existing. Which was knowing about Steam allowing people in the EU to re-sell their games. And they replied to my post being all like “SOURCE?” like as if it was some big fucking debate. Like dude, I wouldn’t be saying shit if I knew what I was mentioning was a pure lie. I knew what I was talking about and people always think they’re being coy by asking for sources and shit. I’m not here to hold your hand, the ball was in your court.

    A lot of the other massively downvoted comments of mine, were just me responding to some of the low-life bastards that frequent some instances that come at me with their lame ass responses. Whom I also blocked because I’m not going to entertain their shit as long as they want me to. They just don’t like people talking back to them.

    There was a Reddit post of a WWII picture of a blown up US artillery piece where the round detonated in the chamber and killed the crew.

    I replied something like “Looks like they got a taste of their own medicine”.

    While it still to this day gives me a chuckle, the reception was rather cold.

    I reacted to a comment to a meme about parents having the power and the right to withhold what their children’s privileges relating to some trauma I’ve got.

    The comment I replied to went:

    We take away what each kid values the most. Works well. If they complain or don’t stop whatever got them in trouble we start adding days.

    In hindsight, taking the context, it’s kinda reasonable, but I was triggered by the “what each kid values the most” remembering a painful part of my childhood, which lead me to be way less open to my mother.

    I commented:

    Wouldn’t that end up with a kid who values nothing, not even their own life?

    My mom used a similar technique to get me to do what she wants me to do, and I ended up, well, the way I am right now. I hide a lot of things from her, and if necessary, only pretend to show interest in things I don’t give a damn about just to have a semblance of a personality. Worse, even if I‌ die right after this comment, I wouldn’t mind one bit.

    Admittedly, that last part is totally unnecessary.

    That response became my most controversial and downvoted for understandable reasons.

    I posted that the new Twitter logo looked like a broken image icon.

    That was a weird week. Every post I had ever made, going back to the day I registered my account, got dozens of downvotes. I figure someone with dozens of accounts used me as a test case for one-man-brigading.

    I advocated for private schools in a casual conversations community, that’s the one that has the highest ratio of down votes so that’s all I know

      I’ve been to a private school, and it sucked. this is just my (German) experience though. so I would’ve probably down voted you as well.

    In all my days, the two most hated comments I dropped were:

    1. Explaining that traveling specific speeds is not inherently less safe, but that context of conditions and location heavily change how safe we feel.

    2. Attempting to give someone a free trip across the country so that I could have a body to assign one of her three cats to, since it was just after covid and finding any way to get a cat across the country was strangely difficult or exceptionally expensive. Apparently I’m a terrible person for not including a place to stay, or a return trip, or anything? Like… I’m trying to save money getting a cat across the country, why would I then spend more money for someone I literally don’t know? It was more of a ‘please help get cat from a to b, I’ll pay for it’ Ended up dragging my wife with me for the third person because people were being weird and angry about it.

    Under a news story of a youth who fatally injured himself while playing with a gun, I got 38 downvotes but a lot more upvotes.

    I am apalled to see the comments here making light of the death of a child with their “win stupid prizes” schtick.

    Instead of talking about access to gun safety education if kids are in a gun household. Instead of reminding parents about the absolute necessity of gun safes. Instead of calling for gun reform so kids can’t get guns in the first place.

    But no, carry on victim blaming, seems much more productive.

        These phrases activate my cringe neurons so hard even though the people writing them are probably really nice.

        “alwayshasbeen.jpg/surprisedpikachu.png”

        “play stupid games win stupid prizes”

        “they fucked around found out”

        “but why tho?”

        “por que no los dos?”

        it’s like, you felt an urge to comment something but didn’t want to commit to engaging with your own words and ideas so my brain blurs it as essentially spam.

          “bootlicker”

          “the cruelty is the point”

          Never fails to get upvotes around here, even if the context is wildly inappropriate.

          You cruel bootlicker!

          (Am I doing it right?)

    My most downvoted posts here were agreeing with Hillary Clinton in an interview where she said in a personal interview, not a campaign event, that left wing voters need to “get over it” (infighting during election season) and support then-candidate Biden because we only get 2 choices and if we don’t we’ll end up stuck with another Trump term.

      Not a lot of Americans know this but what would theoretically happen in a case of nobody voting enough or no-votes (like that’s ever going to happen). The government will run a specialized election, but that election will only be voted on the government members themselves. It goes to the House of Representatives.

      And that’s something we don’t want.

    On reddit. I think it was a comment about how DLSS was going to make devs lazy and optimize their games less because DLSS would do the work for them. People thought I was crazy.
