I know most Lemmy user's have a hate boner for Reddit for many other reasons than this, but IMO all of the /r/AmIUgly, /r/AmISexy, /r/rateme, and other rating subreddits are an absolute cancer on the site.

90% of posts are from new accounts with questionable verification methods, with the others being people trying to shill their OF profiles. I can accept that, but what really boils my piss is that almost all of the comments follow this pattern:

• Slating anyone remotely attractive for being attention seeking, or posting incorrectly on a sub "intended for ugly people", all while that person only comments on the attractive people.
• Obvious negging, as if giving some super attractive girl a 6/10 is going to make them jump into their DM's and ask "what can I do to be better for you sempai?"
• The inevitable stalking of their account, attempt to give into their DM's, or reverse image search that ends up with a post on these subs gaining you 100 new IG followers and some thirsty cunts liking and commenting on your pics.
• Toxic behaviour when someone tries to actually be nice, or to offer some friendly advice. If I had a penny for every time a woman commented on a post on those subs with some advice, only for some guy to shit on them and say "lol no they need to go to the gym"

Obviously, these subs are going to exist, but they just make me end up hating people, because it's always the same pattern.
