also got to remember a good chunk of FR's userbase are minors and teenagers are just generally annoying lol. I certainly had some obnoxious takes on various forums I was on at those ages

Sorry but just no, nope - I think that saying that a good chunk of userbase are minors is an excuse for the truly shitty behavior because any time I visit some random vocal user's profile, they are very often an adult (if age is written) or I can infer that they must be an adult (like, 5 year old account, minimum age 13, they must be 18 at least).

+1

The amount of armchair activist 25-30+ year olds I see making comments in the same vein as some of the anons here is really staggering.

I feel like there's definitely an asshole phase between 18-25. I was 100% a little shit between 20-24. (I'm talking, I was a /b/tard levels of asshole, and I am not proud of that, but it is what it is.)

It's a subject that's come up with friends before, and just about all of us agreed that at that age, we were edgy or an asshole, or a smug nihlist, etc. But growing out of that phase just came with being an adult- you kinda just grow out of being an edgelord because having bills and a job tends to change your perspective and priorities.

Some of us just... hold on to a bit of salt lol.

(Also don't take this rambling too seriously, I'm stoned.)

Understatement, ages 18-24 are the prime time for assholery, because you're still in the mindset of "I'm an adult now I'm mature!" but the maturity is being a dick or edgelord.

Nobody is safe from that lol.

depends on what you define as "truly shitty", yeah an unfortunate amount of brainrot takes I've seen I know to be made by adults, I was moreso referring to the forums and discord and the sort of whiny behavior I've seen there, I'm sure a lot of people whining about the upcoming fam costing money are minors, which would make sense because most probably wouldn't have an income of their own

like I've fully left all of the major fr discord servers because they're clearly full of minors. which isn't surprising but I don't want to socialize in a space full of kids. unless this demographic has somehow changed since. but I wouldn't know because I, well, left them all.
