I didn't call some rando an incel. Some dude made some nasty comment (which he has now deleted) to which I replied with a pointed comment. What would have been a more appropriate response? I'm new to reddit.

“Really Maine?” That comes off like an exacerbated Karen who’s over Maine’s antics. If you’re new here (to Reddit) you missed a ton of the legislative drama surrounding vanity plates and discussions around it. Your ambiguous and catty post put you on the wrong side of that drama.

You are NOT wrong. I swear that half the people on here only post to get a rise out of the posters.

Up until very recently, it was a source of pride to slide innuendo into the text of the license plate. It wasn't until very recently that Maine started reviewing these plates and cracking down on them, possibly because of people faking outrage for useless internet points

The fact you don't know that as evidenced by your title "Really, Maine?", as if you haven't even so much has seen any of the other billion karma-farming license plate posts leads us to believe either you're either a bit hypocritical (in that you separate yourself from the rest of Maine when you ask us why our plates are the way they are)

or

you're from away, and drawing attention to our plates comes off like you're trying to set yourself above the rest of us morally by not even allowing people the slightest bit of fun when dealing with the government for once

/r/Maine literally said back to you: "Yes, really, /u/poteetjim"

You people need to learn to laugh at yourselves!! I thought it was funny that the state of maine allowed it and you all crawl out of your mud huts, in your buffalo plaid, throwing your feces around like monkeys in a zoo.

Life is too short monkeys.

If one person is rude to you, they're an asshole. If everyone is rude to you, YOU are the asshole. Try some self-reflection dude
