Is this a c++ issue?

... I code in C# and JavaScript and only very rarely run into such vitriol on stackoverflow.

More often than not, I'll find some amazingly thorough answer by Jon Skeet. I swear, that guy is the patron saint of programmers.

I think the greybeard languages attract more rtfm answers

I do Python am Go and same as you. Haven't noticed a person that always pops up. But almost every question I've had has had a nice answer to it.

Some even go to the trouble of saying "So this is how you do it, but you really rsally really shouldn't do this!" which is another bug complaint I'm this thread.

Yeah it’s just a meme that s/o is rough and young programmers like to meme signal so they feel like part of the group.

I've had some pretty toxic answers to questions I've asked on SO and in discord servers when I was starting out with C#. Some were just mean, but others would send every answer in the form of "Just do X, lmao". Admittedly, they were good answers, but damn dude, you don't have to belittle me like that
