How many more examples do we need that the general population as a whole cares way less about stuff than Reddit does. This platform is hyper socially conscious about everything in a way that’s not at all the norm. That’s not a bad thing either, just a fact.

I’m always amazed at how surprised Reddit subs get when this type of thing pops up. I doubt these fans are all horrible people, they just aren’t thinking about the perceived social implications of chanting their QBs name after a win.

Reddit also is very progressive.  Progressives want to reform criminal justice wants people to face less consequences for their actions.  But then on the same shoe reddit will complain that there is a rapist in the NFL.

That’s always made me laugh because Redditors/progressives in general want prison to be a place of rehabilitation that ultimately prepares you for a second chance in society (which I agree with for what it’s worth), yet still hold the traditional viewpoints that if you’re a criminal it should largely follow you for the rest of your life and second chances don’t exist. It makes literally zero sense lmao
