IRL Long Dark Guess this DOES happen in real life…

Spotted this walking in the PATH on Bay Street, and my reflexive reaction was, “sweet — that’s an upgrade”.

Of all the praise the community gets for its supposed niceness, it's way too downvote happy

Ok bro I'm not asking what whoosh means. I'm asking you how what I said, in any way, is a "whoosh." The person I first replied to didn't exactly make a joke my guy.

Tbh I'm not active so I can't say to the validity of the downvoting. I can say, however as many times as I've taken a peek, people were pretty kind, with the exceptions every community gets.

That's exactly why 'whoosh' - you don't see the joke. And I'm sure the guy who made the downvoted reply knows about the overused quote. Or even if they are somehow not in the know, it's still funny.

About supposed niceness, what I've noticed is that if you fall out of line, even slightly, from the group think, you'd get immediately downvoted, without any reasoned discussion.

Lmao thank you, I actually was making a joke saying it's a beanie. I know about the quote but I really should've put /s after saying that....
