Most of the time I don’t even check the replies let alone the votes. The last time I went looking through old comments for a gif I wanted, I caught sight of a perfectly split up-to-downvote ratio for asking a simple question that made a bunch of people go “And I took that personally”, as it split into two factions of users who were fighting either vehemently in support of my perceived opinion or vehemently against it.

I meant the question literally, not condescendingly, so I was completely uninvested in the response and it was kind of crazy to see how personally attacked others were willing to feel on the behalf of some random stranger lmfao
