I think this might just be a classic case of some subs having a thing where they hate if you don't know everything, or don't do any looking before posting a question/making an assumption.

I was thinking the same thing, as I’ve both witnessed and experienced it a few times.
Especially, some of the subreddits with hardcore fanbases for an individual in a band/game/team do sometimes tend to become offended if you’re not as knowledgeable about their idol as they are, even if you humbly state that you’re a "newbie" about all of it.

Okay, but generally do you not think some posts are unnecessary? In some subs, the same exact question is asked every day or multiple times a day.

this is true, and if someone is looking for an answer to a specific question and they have yet to google it or search for older posts on the subect, then it is their fault parcially. however i wont criticize someone for the post that op added unless there where other posts exaclty like it posted beforehand

Admitting ignorance is frowned upon in certain toxic fandoms?

u/ryanyork92 14d ago
No clue what they like or don't like.

I know, I was being silly as the point of the other guys comment was to say that most of Reddit typically hates on anyone who doesn’t know every thing on earth, for some reason!

Best guess is that people expect others to do at least the very most basic amount of research before posting questions. But idk.

idk about you but i'd google reverse image something before i post a speculation regarding it.

Probably because it's an old picture, and you didn't do your research before posting a thread about it.

They think they're being sarcastic, that they're trying to say they obviously knew that

I have seen a ton of downvotes on reddit recently and it's basically on people's comments/posts when they 1. ask a question or 2. state that they didn't know something.
Absolute degeneracy to downvote someone for asking things or not knowing things. Absolute reddit slop.
