Seems like the typical hate and douchbaggery is Overtly Gamma male. "Seceret Kings" who think their shit doesn't stink as they revel in sarcasm and posturing behind the safety of the net.

2019-11-22 16:35:29 +0000 UTCI am afraid that Social Media, and the general ability to comment on anything by anyone has facilitated a general coarsening of language, courtesy, and general respect that one-on-one conversations would mandate. The ability to openly criticize and ridicule is infinitely easier if I am not in your presence, or looking you in the face. Social Media has the opposite effect of what it claims to do, it has driven us further apart from any type real connection with people. Hence you, and literally anyone who takes a stance on practically anything is going to "get it," from those who disagree with you. Ironically, those who openly attack you will probably feel good about criticizing you because, in a way, it makes them feel like they won a contest, versus winning a friend over to their view of things.
