Exactly. I’m not being called “an asshole”, even on Reddit: I’m being called racist, transphobic, homophobic, etc And only on Reddit. In real life, and in other online communities (e.g. I’m a member of a “DINK” Facebook group for people without kids), I haven’t had this problem. I haven’t gotten into flame wars with ad-hominems in recent memory either. People are a lot less eager to play the “you’re vaguely problematic” card outside Reddit.
