What are some lingering Redditisms, or generally annoying internet conversation trends, that you wish would end already?
What are some lingering Redditisms, or generally annoying internet conversation trends, that you wish would end already?
Redditism 1: "It's the internet. You are allowed to swear." 
I hate when some very grown-ass adult says that because someone didn't cuss enough for their taste. I swear all the time in my posts here but I still find that shit really, really tryhard and it seems more immature than not saying the naughty word to me.
Redditism 2: Ending a rebuke with a question mark when it's not a question to make it sound extra snippy.
I've heard this being compared to a "vocal fry" and maybe it is, and coming from CA, vocal fries were often said out loud as a form of subtle hostility toward people perceived as lessers, such as retail and restaurant workers. If you need an example of what I'm talking about, it usually goes something like this:
Poster: "I think (opinion)." 
Redditism enjoyer: "You're wrong?" 
Redditism 3: "Do you need help? Who hurt you? Help is available if you need it, buddy!" 
This one is the worst one I can think of right now because it contaminates even the very possibility of showing sincere care and concern for someone else. It comes loaded with the implication that the person that was "hurt" or "needs help" is fundamentally wrong and should shut up. Fuck that ableist shit, forever.

Listen. I like to swear and I swear a lot. If someone doesn't want to swear, ok, that's not their way of expressing, but I want my right to be angry as fuck and swear because I am angry. So what if I am grown ass adult? I mean, kids shouldn't swear, but if I as adult will be called out or censored because I want to tell that, for example, Kamala should go fuck herself for financing the genocide, then something isn't right. Unfortunately, I will never see her face to face to tell her that in her face, so the internet is the only way to send that message to the void. You wanna tell me she doesn't deserve it? Or Trump? Or Putin? Or Netanyahu? Come on. They deserve worse than "fuck you".
In the end, wtf are we talking about here, are we really going to tell people what they can or can't say? If someone wants to swear, let him swear. The internet is an awesome place for that because IRL sometimes you should and need to suppress that need to send someone to their mother's pussy.
The other thing about grown ass adults swearing and acting like immature fools, just go and see Taiwan parliament, lol.
Anger and fury are best expresses through swearing and if you came to my country, you would faint when you'd hear how creative we are in swearing. 😁
But Norwegians are the cutest. Their only cuss word is helvete. 🥹
