Many seem to be children, or at least weirdo's larping as minors. Many appear to 14 years of age... After a while all I could think of was "Why am I talking to these children, and why on earth are they allowed to set the tone of these discussions?"

Coincidentally i was just temp banned from r politics for telling someone the person they were arguing with was probably a 12 yr old.

Was a college professor explaining how they can't do needed research because the administration is being taken over by social science professors who shut down funding for anything which doesn't seem ultra gender affirming. Person ended up arguing with the typical emotional TRA nut who was making crazy antisemitic conspiracy theory accusations at the professor. Most people in the real world aren't aware of what are not quite ready for who they are arguing with. So I replied that the person is probably just a 12 yr old visiting in between making up genders on Tumblr. Meaning hey don't take this argument too seriously.

This resulted in a temporary ban for incivility / name calling. Kind of amazing because I've said lots worse vs neoliberal pro war shills on there before. But the moment you say something so minor against some nutter going on about crazy conspiracy theories to attack a professor... Nope... That person was tangentially a TRA so you can't make a joke about their motives lol...
