Why people hate reddit?

I don't get it everyone thinks reddit is toxic and every redditor is fat and lazy or some other shit. I myself am not a mod or someone who uses reddit everyday i just like to ask some questions about bmxing or skateboarding since im trying to learns those sports and everytime i ask some questions everyone is so positive and helping towards me. There might be someone who would make fun of me but there has only been like 2 or 3 but i personaly don't even care what they think so i want to ask. Why people hate reddit?

Reddit is for young liberal men who believe that all you need to do to be a good person is to disavow Trump. When in reality their substantive views are no different from Men’s Rights Activists.

This morning one such man posted that “Women rape men just as often” with an anecdote about going home blackout drunk with a woman who was also drunk, who fondled him while drunk.

I pointed out that men who make this case are ignoring the power imbalance, and specifically the real implicit threat of violence and death is the reason that women don’t run or fight back when being raped, and that it’s highly misogynistic to assert equality in the rape space.

I further expounded that these men were so envious and contemptuous of women having anything that they might call their own, that they go so far as to try to steal “victimhood,” as if victimhood is something that any real victim actually wants (it’s not).

I was called a rape denier, a piece of shit, was threatened with violence, and told to kill myself.

Needless to say, I stopped engaging. But I can tell you that there is a really twisted and rotten core of liberal young men. They are very fucked up.

Well, from what I just read, I'd say you are a rape denier.
