Honestly, I would start by removing the like system. It is silly internet points and I find It more meaningful when people come out of their way to say something about what I posted be It for or against It.
And ngl, I do feel that indeed some users are just that popular that most of the things they say get easy traction.
Noipoi
for example, while not his fault, is VERY popular. He's a great artist, a nice person, and specially a good crapposter and joke-maker. People LOVE those a lot, specially crapposters for some reason.
And I do believe there are... Certain stereotypes being thrown around regarding various users of the site. In my case I have seen people using my name as the "triggered fanboy" scapegoat on private circles. Specially regarding Marvel media. It does suck in my case, ngl. I may have autism and social anxiety, but I assure you that I am not that much of the devil IRL. My neighbours all enjoy my presence (heck, yesterday a family from my building invited me to go watch Planet Of The Apes with them, that's the level of trust they have with me), all my family members right now always want to see me and spend time with their kids sharing my LEGO and action figure stuff.
... Idk, not sure how else to say It... But I truly don't want to mean harm to the people around me.
