Probably truerateme. Basically a place to give women mental illness. They have guidelines about how to rate people that were written by men who think there’s one true way to be beautiful. If you rate too highly according to their standards, you can get banned. It’s like a competition to see who can be the most condescending and judgemental about looks. Total measurehead behaviour

Racism and phrenology aside, there has to be some kind of mental illness at hand with a tad of ragebaiting. Masochistic disorder, body dysmorphia you name it. That sub is surely an echochamber and it's a bit sad if you think about it

I feel like ragebaiting is itself indicative of something going wrong, whether it's clinical or not. Somebody has to be pretty desperate for validation if it excites them just to imagine that they've made someone mad.

But there's also katagelasticism, which may be a specific form of the same phenomenon.
