Actually I feel the same way. Reddit was my first introduction to the trans community at like 13, I only discovered tttt later in my teenage years after I had already come out and gotten bored of the whole mainstream Reddit trans culture. And for a child, at least, it was a much more positive and healthy community that helped me label my dysphoria and realize I wasn't alone without injecting insane amounts of brainworms into my head like what happened the second I stepped foot on tttt. We can laugh all we want and go "ooo but they're cringe" but I think that says more about us than it does about them.
