Today’s article was just a short one, and engaging in what makes everyone roll their eyes: seeing something happen on Reddit and writing an article about it.

To cut it short:

  • Billie Eilish (famous singer) uploaded a picture of her old Nintendo DSi in gallery of images, to her Instagram account
  • Someone shared that on Reddit
  • Half of the comment section slid straight into shitty gamer dude Hell (the other half did not)
  • Some man on Mastodon attacked me
  • Post removed from Reddit when moderators spotted the comments

…this is a fast-forward of the oddness, but if you want to read over my ramble here, and see some shittiness, the link will help:

I see this shit all the time, and it is not only exhausting, but something no one should see (no matter their identity) should be subjected to. Anyway, read on if you’d like!

    This is the second comment I’ve seen in here by you. Each of them gross. You’ve got yourself a ban now, but I did not make it permanent. Once the 30 days is up and you’re back in here, please have a think before you type. This is not the kind of shit anyone wants to read in this space.

    Why does this only happen in one direction?
