"And over here we will have concentrated autism"
AITA is a(n obvious) karmawhoring subreddit but somehow AmItheAngel is kinda worse because if a post has even one little teenie tiny bit of negativity towards a woman they go ape about how mysoginistic AITA is and how they all hate "insert-buzzword-of-the-day" people.
Every 'advice/rating' in AITA could be summed up as "yikes red flag/dump your partner/cut all contact with family/therapy". It's the world's most boring bingo card

An AITA post involving someone arranging a pot luck for their sister's "apology dinner" was trending on Twitter today.
Notably, the lady explains what a pot luck is, but not an apology dinner which has led to people asking what the fuck an apology dinner is supposed to be, and why haven't they heard of it before.
I haven't heard of it either, but I'm assuming it's just using dinner as a way to apologize to someone, or whatever.

I think this "apology dinner" thing is viral marketing or some kind of weird bot thing. The post you mentioned was just deleted for being faked, but someone in the thread mentioned another thread (archive) where another person mentioned such an event.
Both users/OPs have no other posts except about this. Both have names with a string of numbers afterwards. It's all a bit weird!

You guys don’t know what an apology dinner is? I bet you don’t even know how to use the three seashells.

Equitable parenting over good parenting!
It's hardly huge drama, but it just highlights one of the ways where the AITA crowd feels so... alien.
The TL;DR is that parents made the first child wait till 13 to get a cellphone, but decided to let the younger one get one at 11, in part because he has a serious medical condition.
Reddit response? Overwhelming YTA.
Because to AITA, situations can't be different.
And parents can never learn they were wrong, either - if you screw up with the first kid and are too strict, apparently it's better that you're knowingly bad parents to the second child than fix things. You have to get parenting 100% right the first try, and can never admit mistakes or grow and improve.

I get why a 15 year old sees it as unfair, it would be frustrating and its not like people that young are very good at considering the big picture or picking their battles well.
However the average reddit user is in their 20s, and they're accusing the OP of sexism, family favoritism, etc over it. It just confirms that a lot of reddit users are in a state of arrested development, and can't step outside of their own daddy issues.

AITA for yelling at my mom that I hate Harry Potter and to LET ME LIVE MY OWN LIFE
As my title suggests, my mom is a huge Harry Potter nut. She and my dad actually met in a harry potter “IRC” (like Disord but for old people) in the early 00s got married had kids and from day one decided to embarrass us for life by naming us after some Harry Potter and Star Wars characters.
It’s honestly been hell. I have a stupid name and since we were little my parents have forced stuff like Harry Potter, Star Wars, marvel movies, etc etc down our throats. Everything is about dragons and magic and blah blah blah. I’m so sick of it. Every birthday every holiday everything is just organized around “fandom.”
So just like every Christmas the days leading up to Christmas we have to sit down every night and watch Harry Potter movies. It’s. So. Fucking. BORING!!!! I can usually get away with knitting or drawing on my Ipad during this but this year my mom was like “let’s just have a technology and distraction free night every night”
I arranged to go over to my friend Missy’s house instead for like two nights. Missy’s family is NORMAL and likes things a NORMAL amount. My mom got really mad and started talking about how it’s a family tradition and how I’m basically rejecting her and went on her whole thing about how “you wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for harry potter.”
I finally had it and just yelled “NOBODY CARES THAT YOU WERE A BIG NAME IN THE HARRY POTTER FAN CLUB!!! I don’t like Harry Potter! I don’t like Star Wars! I HATE MARVEL MOVIES THEY’RE ALL SO BORING PLEASE JUST LET ME HAVE MY OWN INTERESTS!”
I couldn’t help it I started crying because I was just so frustrated because everything always has to be about harry potter this star wars that and now that we’re all older they started doing game of thrones. EVERYTHING is centered around some kind of movie or tv show or book series.
Just onces I want my family to band around something that DOESN’T have to do with media or these nerdy things. We live in Utah where we have like 5 National Parks and even though I ask every year for my birthday I’VE NEVER EVEN BEEN TO ARCHES!!!!
Well my sister called me saying that mom was angry and to just come home and to stop with the theatrics. I told her that I’m sick of having all this old “nerd” stuff crammed down my throat and just once I want to have a normal time watching normal Christmas movies and not having to pause for “lightsabre battles”.”
AITA?!??!
HEY GUYS I know you think you're "cool" and "in on the joke" wink wink when you DM me and ask me for my name, but I'm a teenage girl and that's not really how it's coming across. Please stop DMing me I don't care.
**for those of you telling me in dms "IRC didn't do fandom" it was part of a "livejournal" community. Someone in the community had a fan site they all liked. It had a chatroom. I'm sure there was other stuff too?

Probably fake but I laughed at it enough to want to share it.
Speaking of fake, Jesus Christ, this one:

Throwaway because friend/siblings know my main account.
For background, my husband's parents were very strict about food growing up. They restricted him in what he could eat and shamed him for eating anything they deemed 'bad'. They didn't teach him how to have a good relationship with food, and subsequently this led to him sneaking in junk food as a teenager and going crazy once he moved out of home. He gained a lot of weight because he was eating all the things he couldn't eat as a kid and had no sense of self regulation. On the other hand, my parents forbid any diet talk in the house and didn't categorise foods as good or bad, and as a result I have a great relationship with food. There was also zero talk of weight in our household which is something I want to carry out now as I raise our child.
My husband and I have an 11 year old daughter together and so far things have been going really well. She's never been a skinny kid, but she's at a perfectly healthy weight for her age and height. Lately she's hit a growth spurt and I swear she grew 3 inches taller in 3 months. She's had a bigger appetite and has been going for seconds at dinner or having slightly bigger portions at meals. She's a good eater and she'll eat all her veggies. It's not like we're pulling teeth to get her to eat spinach or anything.
With her growth, she's obviously gained a little weight as you do when you get taller/eat more/get all those pre-teenage hormones working. She's still healthy. She's still playing basketball and swimming and doing everything she loves.
But despite this, my husband really wants to begin monitoring her portion sizes and not letting her go for seconds, or letting her eat chips or lollies at all. I put my foot down and told him absolutely not, because that's a quick way to fast track an ED at her age.
He told me he doesn't want her to be fat like him. I told him the reason for his weight is due to his parents' attitude towards food, and that if having a fat daughter is so terrifying then we should be encouraging her to have a healthy outlook on all kinds of foods and not restricting. I also said he should be more scared of having a daughter with an eating disorder than having a fat daughter.
He called his parents, who have never had anything nice to say about my daughter's weight. His mum was your typical "always on a diet mum" and it really messed up his sister. This is the last thing I want for my daughter and I feel like I'm being attacked by them.

This idea of "Le Jocks and Cheerleaders" is extremely outdated. The world isn't 1980s comedy movies anymore and while the post is fake, I've seen people genuinely conflate jocks with people who hate nerd shit.

That's what those above copium comments sound like to me: fake geeks with no real personality who replaced it with shipping and stupid politics bullshit.

Freudian slip from AITA mods? Seems like they worded something weirdly to the effect of "expecting pictures of your kids" in their mod applications.
