Do you think this site has a tendency to form circle jerks?

11 Comments

For those who don't know what I'm talking about, a "circle jerk" is a slang term for echo chamber, the phenomenon where online, a group of like minded people group together and reiterating and praising their personal beliefs by encouraging and upvoting each other, thereby reinforcing and strengthening their beliefs.

Because I tend to see this type of behaviour on this site, where two polar opposite opinions get voted as normal. A lot of the time, someone will post something racist/homophobic/perverted/sexually immoral/etc. and the comments and/or replies will gravitate towards agreeing with them, regardless of how messed up it is. For example, there are a lot of dog sex stories and they often end up being filled with a bunch of people who share their be stiality experience and upvote others', and also a lot of the time when someone posts a racist story, soon other racists will flood in and the comments section becomes a racist echo chamber. This seems to happen so much that whether or not something is actually normal becomes redundant.

Does anyone else notice this on this site?

    You do realize if someone agrees with you they are then joining your little circlejerk.

    Wherever there happens to be more than a few people, circle jerks are nigh inevitable.

    Racism shouldn't have the negative association it does. Different kinds of people aren't meant to mix.
