I remember in middle school, it was a small group of the “cool” “bad” boys who’d look for any small opportunity to use it to insult other boys … like “that’s gay” or “you’re gay”. They were also the group that really strictly imitated Kid Rock and Eminem. I think Reddit has basically the same rule for each sub to keep things inclusive and respectful … so people are quick to downvote any comment that has an abusive language tone, or to report it to the moderators.
