Every FDS post has a bunch of dumb comments about how they're fat "femcels" or "legbeards" who are bitter because no man will touch them, but most FDS posters are clearly not angry because men won't talk to them, they're super bitter precisely because they've been fricking shitty worthless moids and putting up with their bullshit for years. It's like the difference between the sad loners of r/braincels and the angry 45 year old divorced dudes on r/mensrights.
And for trains, any post that touches on teenagers struggling with their identity is filled with a zillion rightoids screeching about "grooming" (on plebbit, to some anonymous random?) as though everyone involved is a s*x pest (there are some, but they're much rarer than dramatards pretend). It's badly misreading a bunch of sad weirdos who think they're trying to help (in their own awkward way) somebody going through the same thing they did when they were younger.

I generally agree with FDS take, and honestly I think that sub is more diverse (age, experiences and to a degree ideology) than people give it credit for.
I somewhat agree with the trans issue as well, mainly with the "sad weirdos trying to project their experience on younger people" part. I think lot of them wish they'd transition sooner or took different steps and are trying to guide others that way. However,
I just don't think this is quite true. Or rather, I think social contagion is a big contributor to increased number of transitioning, and that when you look at the numbers of people suffering from mental illnesses and abuse, believing they're trans isn't necessarily the only or correct explanation for the way they're feeling. That's why bunch of people convincing each other online that it 100% is feels frustrating.
