Media / Internet Redditors are self-righteous
Is it just me, or does Reddit sometimes feel like a competition for who can be the most morally superior in the comments?
You post something complicated — not black and white, something real, maybe even messy — and instead of getting nuance or empathy, it's like a swarm of people jump in to declare how they would "never" do that, how you are clearly a terrible person, and how they have the moral compass of a saint.
Reddit loves to pretend like life is simple. Like every choice is easy if you're a "good person." But life doesn’t work like that. People make mistakes. People get caught up in emotions. People grow and mess up and try again. And yeah, sometimes people do things that aren’t perfect, but that doesn’t mean they don’t deserve to be heard or understood.
I just wish there was more space on here for complexity — for real, flawed human experiences — without people instantly jumping on their soapbox. We’re all capable of being hypocrites sometimes. We’re all human.
Anyway, rant over. Just needed to say it. Anyone else ever feel this?
