ikr, and honestly, I mean, at least compared to what i've seen in some other places on reddit, wallstreetbets is pretty tame, still politically incorrect, but the worst ive seen is them calling both themselves and others "gay bears" and "autists". ive definitely seen far worse and more mean-spirited elsewhere

I would tend to agree. WSB is mostly about self deprecation, and occasional digs at "FIRE" types and people who are financially prudent.

It is a far cry from the many subreddits that actually preach hatred against an outgroup.

agree. wsb has some racy language but it is all in good spirits. It is not at all like all the cesspool subreddits where everybody is a mean spirited asshole.
