its not just the community. Its the internet generation. There are a lot of awful, worthless pieces of shit that have sprung up from the anonymity and entitlement the internet offers. People savage people horrendously in comments and chat and forums, and its become so commonplace that even when the anonymity is gone its almost acceptable in some groups to behave that way.
When i say entitlement I am not talking about the political bullshit people always throw back and forth I am talking about how used to people are to having everything on the internet being free. Before the internet almost nothing was free or if it wa sit took some effort to acquire it, you paid for encyclopedies, you paid for newspapers, you paid for art, you paid for books (or walked your ass to the library to check it out), etc. Now the internet generation thinks content providers and creators owe it to them free and lord help the person who holds it back from them.
