So this AskReddit thread questions "What Seemed 100% legit at the time." That sure sounds nice and innocent, right? Let's take a look at one of the top comments!

That time my friend told me he knew a glitch that would get me a Mew if he traded me a Jynx for a Zapdos. Shitty fucking Jynx. [ 258]

Now for a little context before we go further, Jynx stirred up some controversy because she did look a looooot like black face. But I'm sure that won't be dragged into this! Not at all. Oh wait.

I was 8 and not into transexuals wearing black face at the time. [ 323]

Oh boy. The offensive comment is even higher upvoted than the original topical comment. The one comment in between, by the way, didn't bring up race or gender or anything at all. That wouldn't make it any more acceptable, mind you, but it came out of absolutely no where.

Also, why does the attractivness of a Pokemon matter? Zapdos is an electric bird. Once again, a redditor brings his cis peeeeeeen into the conversation w/ no relevance to it. But that's not all! No, we still have a whole thread to go.

Whatever doesn't kill you makes you weirder. [ 87]

Don't knock it till you attempt a fap. [ 7]

DAE think that being sexually attracted to POC and/or trans women is GROSS and WEIRD and a FETISH? Anyways, great job reducing people to fetishes. You guys sure are great progressives.

You can't call them that anymore; the PC term is "guys who talk too much." [Vote Count Hidden]

Remember when this thread was about Pokemon? Great job, Reddit. I'm glad you changed this innocent question to complain about transgender people gaining rights! I'm surprised you didn't throw BLM in there, too, or something.

Anyways, that's pretty much all. Fuck Reddit, in conclusion.
