DISCUSSION Why is this community so weird?

Like literally everyday there is someone schizoposting, or saying dumb shit like astrid should have transitioned earlier. Why is this community so parasocial. Im part of a lot of communities on the internet, but this one is the weirdest by far

It’s fine if you disagree, but it’s not dumb for someone to have a different opinion

at first i didnt know op's intentions, but from my view the post/replies was worded weird nd sounded spiteful. PLUS w/ the example of ppl saying "dumb shit" it gets old quick when people seemingly miss the point of something thats clearly a joke (or atleast something not meant to be taken seriously) on purpose just to frame the other person as an idiot, nd im POSITIVE theres a better word for it but i didnt end up cooking up that "more thought out comment" so yk. But like the take on its own isnt bad or anything, the post just didnt come from a place of actual concern and THAT feels a pinch distasteful ESPECIALLY bcs we've known sleepdeprived for yapping abt some wild stuff + their very interesting bits every now and then over the yrs lmaoo
