A friend of mine was talking about how they had blatant homophobia sent their way on an LGBT subreddit, which was upvoted. Went to check r/ApolloApp and someone critical of the dev (because he was selling merch) was being blatantly and casually homophobic with similar upvote behaviour.

I'm not an easily offended guy but, honestly, I'm glad I left that shithole.

Had a brief look at r/WorldNews yesterday. Every comment was blatantly disgusting Islamaphobia that I couldn't believe hadn't been deleted yet. I don't ever remember it being that bad over there

Same, I remember r/worldnews not swinging that way whatsoever.
