Reply to comment by [deleted] in Venus Williams' reflective post raises speculation about tennis future. by PrincessBananas85

Way do downvote someone for being honest. Seriously, the “holier-than-thou” side of Reddit is pathetic.

It can be honest and still be a stupid fucking comment.

Verily, your white knight behavior has saved they day. I'm sure you have never ogled a woman. We can only strive to emulate your paladin like behavior.

Yeah, God forbid someone own up for a mistake that they didn’t understand at the time.

Ok so I’m just a random person coming in late here, but I’ll admit at first I read your massive downvoted comment and had a “wtf does that have to do with anything?” moment, until I checked usernames up the chain and realized you were the parent comment, replying again to someone’s reply to you. So that’s probably what’s happening; rarely do back and forth conversations continue between just two people, it’s just all random people tagging along random related thoughts that build a comment chain.

I think most people read it as the typical tag along comment.

Maybe.

Again, I think there’s also just a lot of people that like to pile on downvotes to keep it going.

I never tried to justify it. I know it’s wrong. I’d argue that it’s not that bad a thing, especially 20 years ago when no 13 year old boy was being taught about the things we’re finally coming around to as a culture.

But whatever. Downvotes don’t really bother me.

I just hate the idea of the moral superiority some of these jabronis have when they’re not even understanding how the conversation got there.
