Well, what I want to know is, who TF is downvoting The Onion?!?

[–] FlyingSquid 9 points 1 week ago (3 children)

People are probably downvoting it because I posted it. πŸ™„

Some very pathetic person goes through my history regularly and downvotes everything.

Well I see you post regularly, and am always grateful for the white-hot memes, shitpost, and factoids! Ty you flying horror. Seriously though squids are gross.

You're welcome and we are not!

Probably a squid that’s very jealous about your flying ability

Gliding Squid is a vindictive person

Makes sense. Water-based assholes.

On reddit I used to downvote a popular poster because they were dominating the space. Not sure that was the right thing to do but don't take it personal, just keep on doing your thing.

I don't take it personally, I think whoever is doing it is very silly.

Maybe people who don't like "wait for it", "read the whole thing", or "watch to the end".

Don't tell me to do it, tell me why I should do it.

I thought it was a good suggesting considering, IMO, a lot of Onion headlines are the whole joke and the article just expands on it.
