Not just crypto, but the whole enchilada of toxic masculinity[0]: guns, UFC, get-rich-or-die-trying prosperity gospel, “seduction techniques”, and so on. There’s even “murderedbywords” for the best-phrased contrarian put downs, a place that manages to be more like HN than HN itself.
All the typical props of the interior decoration of the modern loser’s mind, in one place.
[0]: chill, dude! Your masculinity is non-toxic, probably. In fact the term acknowledges non-toxic masculinity as the default , since otherwise there wouldn’t be a need to add the modifier.
Edit, to reply to the flagged troll: the women seem to all be at /r/povertyfinance: https://subredditstats.com/subreddit-user-overlaps/povertyfinance https://subredditstats.com/subreddit-user-overlaps/povertyfi.... The connected subreddits there tell a somewhat different story. Of pragmatism instead of stewing in grievances and hoping for an easy way out.
I’d speculate that ‘r/poor really doesn’t have too much actual poverty, but rather it’s a social poverty the members feel, which they hope to get out of by becoming billionaires (and/or “negging”). /r/povertyfinance is about actual poverty, where you’re trying to find out if you can still eat that food or how to fix the car without spending money.
