Some examples of some of the messages about Baeclast/Chris in this community - this kind of attitude will only push away GGG and individual streamers from engaging with the community, Chris mentioned yesterday he has people reading reddit for him because he can't read it in the last few months Discussion

Honestly, a lot of those are confrontational, but still respectful. You have every right to not feel represented by the Baeclast crew... the sub won't be better if it's all rainbows and blow job.

I don't think there's an inherent issue with these comments in particular although most of them were mistaken about the subject matter imo.

The problem is that these are the tip of the iceberg and actual personal attacks and threats have been made.

If what is curated here was the worst extent of the feedback regarding Baeclast, I'd view it as a healthy response that keeps streamers and GGG honest instead of just applauding whatever they say and do, but sadly it isn't.

I mean... if 98% is mighty fine, and 2% are dicks... is it fair to say that "Reddit is toxic"?

I don't think reddit is toxic overall, but the 2% that are dicks are pushing GGG and streamers away from interacting with the community. I'm glad that GGG are actively combating the negative sentiment by trying to appear on podcasts and streams more frequently in the future rather than receding from reddit entirely and leaving it to rot.
