Imagine what he'll do if his friends had political or religious points of view that he disagreed with.....
I know it's tired but...projection! Pretty much all studies (I know, I know) agree that liberals/leftists/progressives are less tolerant toward opposing views than right/conservatives.
Also, it's ironic, given that even in the post they're mocking, his friends left him, not vice versa. It's high level mental gymnastics to turn it around and make him the intolerant one.
Obviously we have the same system here, but what I dislike about reddit, that it's a huge echo chamber. The big difference is the censorship, which proves that it's a controlled environment.
Meanwhile you can't even write the word "trans" in the comments of /r/KotakuInAction2.
If you want to know what the truth is, always look at what you are not allowed to talk about.
It's ironic how most upvoted comments there talk about "reflect and reexamine your own views".
The levels of fakery, psychopathic behaviour, astroturfing, psyops and power modding is off the charts and that's just the stuff that's been documented.
I would argue that it's a typical internet behavior. I'm a bit older, still remembering forums era. It was all the same, people don't change.
Reddit stands out to me as an even bigger echo chamber, because of the downvoting system.
If you don't agree with the majority, your comment/post will be rendered invisible by downvotes. It has also much greater bearing on impressionable minds of young people.
You get rewarded with points for "good behavior" and punished for "bad behavior".
And now with censorship that comes from above (actual reddit admins), we can't even have our own communities, where you don't get downvoted automatically to speak slightly negative about certain topics.
Forums could at least do what they wanted but reddit has a sitewide iron fist on every discussion. There's also the bots.
Not sure why they copied the voting system for this platform. I can only imagine scored wants to implement their own flavor of social control, even if it's "better" than reddits.

But muh paradox of tolerance.

At no point do they ask if they're the baddies
Anybody that does reach that level of realization finds themselves banned within a week lol
