Wow, Reddit is horrible. Atrocious behavior. Leave your brains in the anteroom! > Whoever sees this and it reminds them of their current relationship, DUMP HIM > you can tell by the body language, lack of initiative, and lack of joy and welcome-ness for his woman and baby to be back, everything you need to know. > There is a VERY good chance that when he realizes he went viral for being the *Poster Manchild* of taking your spouse for granted, of choosing to act like a parasitic blob Modern Reddit provides a simulacrum of commentary. There are posts and people discusing these posts, but nobody understands or wants to know anything about the underlying topic. The lack of comprehension is crucial to the community. | ||

Its unfortunate because it's not only one of the things that makes social media toxic, but it also makes it less and less like reality. Which in turn pushes away people who have more "normal" views, thereby making the community even more extreme over time. Ask a random person in the street and they might say they think he should help her, but they wouldn't come up with these detailed narratives about abuse and manipulation. That kind of reaction is characteristic of social media and the more I see it the less I want to spend time online with those kinds of people | ||

> and lack of joy and welcome-ness for his woman and baby to be back Damn, do these people really jump out of joy whenever their SO, parent, child, friend, or whoever comes back after a 10' chore? Life is not a movie, “coming back” is a dozen-times-of-day occurrence, no one will cheer you back from the toilets. | ||
