That is a truly bizarre subreddit. It’s exactly what you say, people love to go there and get on their high horse.

I also suspect there are a ton of troll posts there. Too many “I am the asshole” questions that seem perfectly aligned to the politics of the day. And the stories seem perfectly written to create conflict.

This is almost any Reddit "advice" sub, like /r/relationships. People write stories for fun and to create conflict.
