The top voted comment, with around 20K upvotes, rips into the father: "Instead of berating your son, you should be proud of what he did and support him by explaining that doing right is not always easy but necessary. You should be talking to administrators at his school about the culture they have inculcated."
In contrast, the top voted comment which defends the son has only around 2,400 upvotes.
Can't speak to "99% of people on twitter", but looks like only 10-15% of people on Reddit.
Yea I didn't link the reddit thread since the post itself was deleted, but indeed reddit seems to lean towards anti-cheating and twitter seems to lean towards pro-cheating (well, anti-snitching if nothing else). Really curious about how that dramatic difference developed.
reddit is a karma farm, so find the bandwagon and push it as extreme as possible to get those meaningless internet points.
Note this applies to anything controversial on reddit especially politics. Only one extreme position will be allowed in all discussions in the presence of karma farming.
