    Can’t help but notice the sudden influx of downvotes for any comment that isn’t making the claim that all farmers fuck cows. It’s almost like some kind of brigade.

      the post was in the top10 of “active” in /all, so everyone gets a vote, and it IS a topic where emotions tend to run high, regardless of stance to the topic, so thats to be expected

        I’m honored, though tbh I expected this post to not be this controversial

          The veganism movement is growing.

          People will stop laughing at your animal abuse jokes.

        >A sudden, sharp influx of users presenting behavior and opinions leaning in a specific direction that was previously much less represented

        >“DUrR yoU jUSt DoNT LikE iT”

        I saw enough r/nonewnornal brigades back in 2020 to have an idea. A harshly different upvote/downvote ratio along opinion lines between the post itself and the comments is a very good indicator.

        Saw plenty of apologist/sockpuppet comments like yours back then, too. May have seen this one almost ver batim, in fact.

      I already apologized to the mods here. I’ve been watching the vote counters fluctuate. I’m really sorry the nice people from shitpost are having to deal with this I just wanted a funny post.
