The only community on the internet (other than Twitter) that will make you feel dirty, bad and morally ashamed for lord knows what. Getting cancelled on Reddit is 10x worse than on Twitter as the downvotes explicitly hammer down on the cancellation, making you all the more visible target for people to cancel you.
After posting a success story on Reddit on how John was able to get loads of Amazon items for free, John immediately got cancelled by the entire community saying that what he was doing was sleazy and morally corrupt. Several attempts to explain the situation proved futile as the hivemind was in full control of his narrative, not John himself. Poor John just wanted to share his success story, but nonetheless got his Reddit account suspended. Too many goody-two-shoes felt like they needed to give John the "justice" he oh-so deserved. In reality, the "justice" made only 0.0000000000000000001% of a difference.

bias
A bias is an unjustified and disproportionate preference (or hate) towards someone or something. Biases are reason why evil ideologies like racism, sexism, and extremism exist. It's also the number one source for all fights and arguments, both on the internet and IRL. The antithesis of bias is justice and equity. Being biased should be a sin.

Reverse reverse psychology
Basically just plain ol' psychology. Reverse reverse psychology only exists when the other person assumes that you are doing reverse psychology on them (when you are not).
Sgt McDonut: "I wouldn't press the button that says 'eject' if I were you."
Pvt Cummings: "I know you're just reverse psychology'ing me, so I won't."
Sgt McDonut: "And that's exactly what I wanted you to do. The button was to eject me out of the plane, not you. Thankfully I factored in the possibility that you would think I'm doing reverse psychology. And even if I was unaware of your mental gymnastics, your reverse psychology guess would've screwed you anyway because the eject button for your seat was in my hands all this time. Get reverse reverse psychology 'd son."

manchild
Due to the general acceptance of 'manchild' as an unwanted negative stigma, let me offer an alternative take to the definition. A manchild is not necessarily bad, in fact it can be a good trait. A manchild could come to mean that the person retains childish aspects that are beneficial. For example, the childish aspect of being playful and finding playfulness in everyday sober life is beneficial to one's mental health. It could also imply the male individual retaining the "cute" and "bubbly" aspects from childhood that are often lost in adulthood (because of society's expectations for men to be rational and to hide their emotions). Furthermore, a manchild may still crush on a women and have infatuated feelings for them, and that's perfectly okay.
So in conclusion: manchild..... not a bad thing per se.

Me: Omg, my co-worker is soooo beautiful!! I think I have a crush on her. Like I'm legit obsessed.
Somebody: Are you a manchild? Just ask her out, maybe you'll get to fuck her some day.....
Me: If manchild implies being able to crush on someone, then yes I am. Sigh... why do you always assume that the end goal for everything is sex? Maybe I just like the ephemeral feeling of being infatuated, nothing wrong with that. It's like enjoying the journey more than the destination, you know what I mean?

Just being alive
"Somedays I just like being alive. I don't want to dwell on the future or take comfort in past memories."
"Yeah. Just being alive is sweet. Helps clear the mind."

Ageist
When somebody uses age to judge, discriminate or stereotype against another when in fact age is completely irrelevant.
