    where there's an irrational (and many cases, immoral) desire to be free of any or all negative consequences while enjoying all the positives.

This is what comes from assuming egalitarism while the rest of the world hasn't. In the mainstream subreddits, there seems to be a trend to desire to be free and unbound, just don't burst their bubbles when it comes to bite them in the ass.

    The classic unspoken rule is the hate and cynicism that's unleashed when a FEMALE is visible in a non-porn/cheesecake photo subreddit

Really? I've never seen anything like it - though, granted, I never dove deep into the default subreddits. That's horrible, but it does sound like what the general/average Redditor (if there is such a thing) would do.

What are other such rules you can remember? I'm trying to form a coherent idea of what the system of Reddit is.
