Reddit and the Struggle to Detoxify the Internet

Sorry, but this idea of "Sticks and Stones" hasn't been true for a long, long time. You may be able to shug off terrible, racist, bigoted slurs hurled at you, but people who have that slung at them day after day after day might not be, and I'm not going to blame them for not wanting to take it anymore.

Then why are they on the racist slur subreddit? Same with Twitter, you don't have to follow people who insult you, or the people who retweet the insults to you.

Why are you assuming that stuff stays in it's little corner? It doesn't. Especially with Twitter, it's very easy for anyone to message that kind of thing to you.
