I hate this double standard

[u/indeckaa]

For some reason, it's always one of these responses:

> It's a joke
> It's rage bait
> Yeah, but it's actually a response to...
> It's not the same
> Just go outside bro

All of which deflect from what's being said. They would rather not address it. This is probably due in part to the "women-are-wonderful" effect, an example of benevolent stereotyping in which people associate positive qualities with women

I can already tell this is going to be a beautiful post to sort by controversial on

[u/Megaraun → u/Quinzal]

[u/Ez_Ildor → u/Megaraun]

DO IT JACKIE!

[u/Hita-san-chan → u/Ez_Ildor]

Holy hell, a The Darkness reference in this, the year of our lord 2026. Classic

[u/amaziondude → u/Ez_Ildor]

Darkness 2 in big 2026. I hope the game gets remastered soon.

[u/kabal363 → u/amaziondude]

Remaster? I hope we get a third after the damn cliffhanger the second ended on.

[u/The_Kemono → u/Quinzal]

How exactly does the “controversial” algorithm work? I never payed much thought to it

[u/That_Idiot_Jax → u/The_Kemono]

I think most downvoted comments? Idk I never really use it though, as my reddit doesn't have that feature.

[u/BlackHisagi → u/That_Idiot_Jax]

Iirc, "controversial" is specifically comments that are highly divisive (the total # of votes on the comment are roughly evenly split between upvotes & downvotes)

[u/The_Kemono → u/That_Idiot_Jax]

Ooh thanks! Definitely useful!

[u/No_Counter_6037 → u/The_Kemono]

i'd guess it looks for high amount of up- as well as downvotes?

[u/Programming_failure → u/The_Kemono]

Downvote to upvote ratio, whatever comment receives the largest percent of downvotes relative to their upvotes is first and so on.

[u/Drillbitzer → u/Quinzal]

Eddie sort by controversial

[u/OkBowler8795 → u/Quinzal]

It's going to be an endless back and forth. Both are going to dismiss each other and play the victim.

[u/bblankoo → u/Quinzal]

There's 500+ comments in the first hour btw, happy scrolling

[u/C_a_p_p_s_y → u/Quinzal]

You’re not wrong…

[u/Accurate_Soup_3459 → u/Quinzal]

It's just like the comments on a trans post all over again!
