      That’s fine but there are several commenters who immediately attacked the girl who is drinking a beer. Maybe it’s more of a thing about women, actually. I just felt like the hostility was unexpected and was trying to understand why

        It’s actually pretty funny because the first comment I saw here was warning about how misogynistic the other comments are. Curious, I sorted by controversial only to find the most controversial comment is about beer hahaha

          Yeah, when I made that comment no one had even mentioned misogyny or the anti-beer crowd, so I felt the need to ask why people were being weird.

          Although the misogyny is clear, I still think my hypothesis about Lemmy users being socially isolated and thus less likely to have a positive relationship with alcohol is also a contributing factor.

          Latent misogyny combined with active hostility to beer, yielding enough rage to cause one to make a spiteful comment on Lemmy.
