Reddit is like a control freak convention. You're walking into a den of jackals going there.
A lot of them also have empathy disorders. A lot of people go on about a lack of empathy but fail to appreciate that people also have severe empathy-apathy disorders.
You can compare it to eating disorders. Some people eat too much, some people not enough. Some people eat the wrong thing. Some people go so far as to really eat the wrong thing such as inedible things (shoe laces or marbles for example). Some people eat for the sake of eating then throw up to eat more.
The same range of disorders exists with empathy or sympathy and these are all under heavy attack from fake news, fake charities, etc. Charlatans always target common psychological flaws. As eating disorders go a lack of hunger is quite rare. I believe empathy disorders are the same.
A simple example of an empathy disorder is the baby is crying disorder. You can't reason with the baby you just have to give it what makes it stop. The disorder that if it makes them feel bad it's wrong.
A child is crying before me. I see that they dropped their ice cream. I acknowledge they at least have a reason to be sad. I would buy them another one but I don't want to be sent to prison as a paedophile or for rumours to allow people to mistreat me so I tell the little shit to get lost or I'll really give them something to cry about.
A child is crying before me. I see nothing wrong so I ask. They complain that my hat is red and they don't like red. The person with the empathy disorder will say sorry for making you feel like that, I am so guilty, I will take it off immediately. A healthy person like me will simply give a lesson in empathy and tell the child I feel the same way about their face. Touche.
You can see in the former case the empathy disorder is too much or misplaced empathy to the point of facilitating the child to victimise others. Another common disorder is an inability to put themselves in other's shoes in combination with a failure to appreciate this inability.
Many also have feeling disorders which heavily involves a dampened sense of humour. Humour is important for exploring concepts and topics and coping with the dark side of things or negatives. A reddit user would not laugh at the paedophile comment for example. They're a bit like autistics who can't pick up non-verbal or implicit cues (hints / clues) as easily. It's like being colour blind. Some people see more than one channel of meaning. They see extra channels of meaning but they are pessimistic, paranoid and often wrong.
They are unable to see the funny side of things. This is a very serious disorder which can result in total psychological breakdown. It's why two normal adults can talk about dark things that would normally make you feel bad and also laugh but people on the left go into a screaming fit about that they feel bad because they have no humour to compensate.
There's an element of empathy that's contagious. They have errors in this where they do not learn the feeling of humour properly from others but dark feelings circulate freely among them. Bad empathy goes around. They mirror the improper emotional reactions of others.
An elite pro tip: don't waste time on Reddit.
