Study and Interactive Visualization of Toxicity in Reddit Communities

It should be expected that a subreddit would get high ratings for bigotry and for being under siege when it is explicitly dedicated to singling out and insulting other people on the same site. So I suspect that if such a measurement were done, TwoXChromosomes would drop and ShitRedditSays would stay put.

The fact you think TwoX is "dedicated to insulting other people on the site" says a lot more about you than it does about that subreddit. None of it especially complimentary.

Please try to read all the words before making implications about the author's character.

I don't think that, I was contrasting it with SRS which is why I said twox would go down on that metric. Sorry if I was unclear.
