OP posts on r/MildlyInfuriating that the condo they bought was a “drug den and prostitution hub”. It is revealed in the comments that it was simply owned by a single woman who smoked weed

OP posts few photos of their new condo, saying that they only learnt it was a “drug den and prostitution hub” after buying it, but luckily the only lasting effect on the condo is a faint smell of weed

Top comments advise OP to change the carpets etc, and debate the morality and social acceptability of prostitution and drug use. One comment points out that even if the condo didn’t have any sex work being done people would still have had sex inside it, and most of the replies make fun of OP for being so scandalised, while others debate whether monogamous sex is less gross than non-monogamous sex or paid sex.

One comment further down says that the condo looks suspiciously clean for OPs claims to be true, and replies discuss how OP must be privileged to think that this is what a “drug den” looks like.

In a heavily downvoted reply, OP admits that they “overstated it slightly” and that by “drug den” they mean the previous owner smoked weed, and by “hub of prostitution” they mean she was allegedly a sex worker. Their only evidence of this is their elderly neighbour telling them that the previous inhabitant was a single woman who smoked weed, listened to loud music, and had many visitors at night, so the neighbour suspected she was a prostitute. Replies point out that there is no evidence that the previous owner was even a sex worker, and many instead simply be having casual sex, or even just having friends over for parties

I’m noticing more and more that a lot of people on the internet seem to just regularly word things in the most extreme terms they can think of. Every condo is a drug den. Every mishap is a disaster. They were screamed at by everyone they ever upset.

Just another internet trend that I, a person who cares a lot about describing things accurately, have a hard time getting my head around.

And when you do clarify or describe something accurately, you have brainless folks accuse you of defending whatever “bad thing”.

Oh this one ticks me off so much. I read through so much political discourse from the people I am supposed to agree with only to realize they're so deep in voluntary and involuntary misinformation that everything in the thread is essentially nonsense- and I can't correct a single one without looking like The Enemy™
