The media makes this place out to be the bloody worst, most toxic place on the Internet. It's really not.
I think part of the problem is that most other threads are really brutal. This is by far the most active thread on the site which should account for something, and we all generally have the same or similar ‘line’ of what is too far, which is brilliant.
For example I drop in and out of The Tim Tracker thread (Florida theme park bloggers, turned family/child exploitation channel since the arrival of their miracle child), and it’s toxic AF! Posters fat shaming the mum, calling their little two year old ugly and slow (he’s cute as a button and zero concerns in terms of development but they were banding around ‘autism’ since day one).
It’s pretty horrible, and when others say it’s too far they get shouted down for moderating, which seems insane to me.
Welcome to this thread! Honestly, there is so much support on here for one another, and I think a lot of us would feel a bit lost without it.
At the core is a disdain for the vapid influencer culture, and for these charlatans to be held accountable for their actions. If we
duck up at work we are called up on it. This is their job (can’t even type that without feeling nauseous) and they have the added layer of responsibility due to their influence over so many, but because they have army’s of sheep backing them up they believe they are invincible. Unless you blindly follow them and blow smoke up their add you are a jealous troll…please
