Non-Redditor asking simple question on Reddit gets public shamed
Dialogue
Overview
This is a two-panel meme using the well-known train hitting school bus template. The first panel depicts a yellow school bus stopped on train tracks, with a train approaching from behind, labeled to represent a non-Redditor asking a simple question on the platform. The second panel shows the train crashing into and destroying the school bus, with the train labeled to represent high-ego toxic Reddit users who publicly shame the question asker instead of providing helpful answers. The meme satirizes the common toxic culture experienced by new or non-regular users when asking basic questions on Reddit communities.
