    In my mind, some edgy-looking anime dude is very different from anime booba.

    While both remove validity of argumentation, the former probably means you’re a minor, and the ladder means you will never have a social life outside the internet.

      Doesn’t the ladder increase the odds of a social life outside the internet? Am I the only who watched Clarissa Explains It All? It’s called a social ladder for a reason!?

      I love that you’re getting downvoted for this accurate assessment of how adults engage with each other.

      Honestly, I realized a while back that Lemmy is largely kids. Like, to me at least if you’re under 25 you’re a kid, and I think most users here are even younger. Maybe across the social internet broadly we have massively misjudged how many adults actually shape our global conversations.

        It’s obviously based purely on my own (admittedly vast) experience on the internet.

        I think the average age here is much higher than on reddit, for what it’s worth. Playing lots of video games, though, has taught me that at least half of the adults act like children anyway.
