They are very very obvious attempts to keep the culture war alive IMO. They were trying it with a new black twitter sub a few months ago but then half the comments were about capitalism and suddenly that sub stopped making the front page.

    I never saw the boydinner posts until more recently, they had to push that also because half the girldinner posts I would see would be like "is this man I'm dating psychologically torturing me?" Or something worse. The boydinner shit is pathetic because what I've seen seems like it's on the level of "my girlfriend got mad I played video games during her birthday party rage-cry "

    You think so? The average boydinner I've seen has been like "I've spent 19 years continuously drunk and reality is setting in now that I'm losing the house". Well, either that or "she's cheating."

    So you’re totally down for the culture war bullshit. Just gotta have it.

    I'm not sure what you mean, it's just funny reddit pushes them both, and the comparison of what the popular issues are for people/bots who post there is interesting to me. I'm agreeing with you that it seems artificial, to push the culture war angle.

    EXACTLY. I mean, truly what /r/popular subreddit isn't (the sipstea one, fauxmoi, etc etc) but still...
