I guess this has to be expected these days. This is not a small, tight knit community and there seems to be a part of the general population who revels in this kind of comments. But I see far more of them on other platforms, for example in comments sections on news sites. The fact that the most egregious ones get downvoted quickly here is something that speaks in favor of this community, I would say.
