Especially in gaming subs: 'How is this fair' posts by starting users getting clobbered by vets (5y+ playing) while having no clue about the game's mechanics...
The biggest issue for me is honestly the no life power mods, as you say. The stereotype of the pale, insulin insensitive, multiple mental health issue, living in their mom's basement, mountain dew enjoyer is there for a reason.
These people are basically the result of kids who grew up on 4chan /r9k/ and decided that they were going to have a job one day.
Milking the deaths of beloved celebrities for fake internet points and people destroying their “F” keys as though someone just died in a video game, like r🤮ddit did with Carrie Fisher, Technoblade, Shinzo Abe, the Queen of England…
It’s just so pathetic and disrespectful.
