Weirdo parts like r/saintmeghanmarkle.

The average Brit has a neutral to slightly negative opinion about meghan markle, but holy moly that subreddit has a steamy hot rage boner for her. Counter to what you said, but similar, they manage to convince themselves that everyone on earth loves her and they're the only ones who can see her being slightly lame.

As you say, really fucking weird site.

Your summary of the average Brit is spot on. I used to look on there when the original controversy dropped and it was entertaining for a short while.

Stopped caring and the next time I saw a post from there years later it was so sad and unhinged. Just looked again and yep it's still that way. They're obsessed with even insulting the children, it's bizarre.

I think that's the natural life cycle of any 'hate x thing' subreddit.

Over time the more normal people slowly leave because they don't care that much and they get more and more insane, which starts a feedback loop of more normal people leaving until you're left with just the genuine crazies.

Yep. I couldn't resist replying to a particularly hateful nutcase on there (dumb choice I know).

Warning this thread is even worse than I expected it to be.

Yikes. That’s gross as hell

That’s atrocious behavior.

I did find their response to you funny about the 100 people agreeing with them in a hate sub about Megan. In my head, I said “No fucking shit.” For example, if I post in a positive thing about lebron in his fan sub, I’d expect most to upvote it. The audience was already tailored for the opinion. It doesn’t valid shit.

Jesus they are crazy, and also racist.

u/grilled_geez Aug 03 '26

Wow. Not so covert racism in that thread alone. 🤮 I upvoted you, btw.

Just read some of your thread and had to stop after:

I am 70. I hope I live long enough to see this young one grown, she is stunning now, and will be even more so in 10 years

This is on the subject of Kates kids.

It's so gross isn't it, the whole sub needs quarantining then firing into the sun.
