I've become much happier and less stressed out as a result.
It still does get to me sometimes when I see it and it's impossible to avoid but you can *almost* get rid of all of it if you make an effort.

I think a lot of people view anonymity and the internet as a chance of just being complete garbage with no consequences and they take it.
There's just so much totally unnecessary cruelty and douchebaggery on Reddit and Twitter ( and places like Steam forums especially ), I dunno how even something as simple as not being rude to artists and cosplayers is so hard for some to understand.
Something so simple that should be positive so often derails into negativity the moment you scroll down the comments.

The thing that makes this especially sad too is that both Reddit and Twitter does have a lot of power, it does drive a lot of culture and narrative.
So it's kinda sad how it's essentially just left to turn into brain rot because of an extremely terminally online minority.
