Considering the overlap between userbases and that Reddit is represents some ungodly proportion of internet users it's kind of silly to pretend it's just a den of MRAs and pedos. Of course, it's still a godawful wasteland, but acting like posting on an internet forum is superior to some other internet forum is just

Fallout New Vegas in any thread about video games or thread about not-video games. Its my favorite derail because its my favorite game and I'm just happy people are still talking about it even if some of them have wrong opinions.

Abortion. No matter your stance on abortion, and no matter your noble efforts to speak calmly and find compromise, there is a huge population of people who hate your mind, body, and soul because of your opinions. Me, posting on a feminist blog: Abortion is bad, and I hope we stop it some day, but for now it seems reasonable to allow it. Kneejerkers: HOW COULD YOU SAY ABORTION IS BAD YOU OBVIOUSLY HATE WOMEN AND EQUAL RIGHTS THAT'S THE ONLY POSSIBLE EXPLANATION FOR WHY YOU THINK THIS GET OUT DIE GO TO HELL True story.

Junk food/fast food derails. Nothing quite as goony as arguing over the worth of or lack thereof regarding burgers and pizza.

SJW shenanigans when it pops out and people discuss in the worst threads for it (like it happened recently in the Warlods of Draenor thread) Just make a thread about it dammit

1. Someone likes (food item from fast food place) 2. (Food item) gave someone else "shits for a week, how can anyone eat at places like that?" 3. "You must be a pussy if (food item) kicks your rear end." I've read this discussion on this forum easily 20 times.

Lotish posted:Supermechagodzilla is as destructive to a Cinema Discusso thread as his namesake is to Japan. This is the straight truth. My favorite derail is anime. If it even vaguely sorta looks like it might be an anime, someone will have to comment on it.

My favorite derail was the original "mods knew" thing where some guy said his friend who had been banned had told him that the mods knew that Aatrek was a child molester and was going to come back later with proof and the thread derailed for hours with people speculating and then the guy's friend came back and went "wait, really? I was just making poo poo up."

frajaq posted:SJW shenanigans when it pops out and people discuss in the worst threads for it (like it happened recently in the Warlods of Draenor thread) Those threads are typically shut down because they attract really lovely people who try to derail them by posting inflammatory stuff. A good example would be Adam Bowen in the gamers.txt thread.

In the wrestling forum it is a bannable offense to mention hot dogs. This is because a derail debate on the choice between Chicago and New York style hotdogs lasted for weeks. Personally, I'm from the south and we eat chili and coleslaw on our dogs, which is the best way to go, so the argument is moot.

Too many derails are started from people not understanding that two things can be wrong simultaneously. Like, in the OP's derail, the guy who kicked the kid and the dad who punched the guy can both be wrong. Nobody has to be in the right. And there doesn't have to be some kind of hierarchy of wrongs.

The dumbest part is they aren't even different "styles" like with pizza, just slightly different toppings. New York / Chicago rivalries are always sooo loving lame.

I was at the O-hare airport catching an early flight. I picked up a hotdog from the food court, and asked for some ketchup. The dirty looks they gave me kind of pissed me off. What do you give a poo poo about what I put on my dog?

AKA Pseudonym posted:Can sausage patties truly be considered sausages? That was the most beautiful derail. I want to read it again in all its infuriating glory. Content: regional terminology for anything at all, but mostly food items.
