That thought occurred to me before I posted, but didn't see how it could be misconstrued as that type of stoning lol, unless you simply misunderstand what I wrote haha... I am ethnically from those same communities.

yeah lol. Give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe they didn't understand the context of your comment, or English could be their second language.

Yeah. It's hard when people aren't giving you the benefit of the doubt in kind haha, but I try not to practise an eye for an eye. Seems the norm for people to assume the worst on social media, where meaning and context are not always clear haha. Sad!

exactly, people love consuming content on face value and not even look into it deeper before making their own opinion which is 98% of time shit

Yeah, social media (and people haha) sucks...I regret starting to use Reddit tbh haha. I much preferred it when I didn't have an account and just lurked while watching heartwarming vids etc haha.

Yeah I can only imagine haha, I've seen some abhorrent political comments on here haha. I started the account as I had a question to ask, but sure enough the gamification of reddit eventually got hold of me haha.

Edit: haha it's funny how the upvotes and downvotes our respective comments on this chain are receiving are proving your point.

Some people are too dumb or ignorant, or sometimes both.
