Kitchenware subforums on cooking/home making sites and tightknit gardening forums, holy shit. They're different in that men tends to be the aggressors in one and women in the other and the form of their aggression differs as well. One wants to stab and burn your corpse, the other goes for the eyes and throat and wishes to rip the flesh from your body.
Kitchenware forums, from what I have seen it's not much, are a lot like other male hobbies centered around hardware, be it cars, motorcycles, guns, things like that. More specifically they are like the autistic and angry subset of those hobbies like the penis compensators, ricers and the tactilol people mixed with the worst of online fandoms, probably due to the popularity of tv-shows and the personalities they look up to.
It was on a kitchenware forum I got my first """credible""" death threat, it wasn't credible of course but unlike in online games or shitposting on the internet where people fly off the handle this guy, a longtime poster, was truly venomous and methodical in trying to destroy me. Really funny and a bit disturbing at the same time.
It was in a thread where someone looked for first time purchasing advice where I posted after him and, contrary to what he said, I wrote that the Gordon Ramsay blender wasn't good, save some money and get a... I don't remember what, but my general philosophy/advice around cooking is that if someone doesn't know what they're doing they don't need expensive stuff, they need something to learn on and figure out if they actually are going to use it. So buy something cheaper and if they get a lot of use out if, instead of being tucked under the 350 days per year, then get something more expensive. Same with everything else, don't start with a $150 knife, start with a $15 knife from IKEA, or a couple of them, find out what length, form and handle is working out and blah blah blah then upgrade to a $50 knife and see how that works out.
He then looked into my post history and went to shit on everything I had previously posted(not much, I was new) and this wasn't just him being a nutter, petty and vicious infighting seemed common. They were hardcore fanboys stanning for kitchen equipment... it was really, really funny but they had a ResetEra-like no trolling policy, so...
The garden forum was 90% women, seemingly in their 40's and 50's, I was there to find out what a particular plant that I had inherited was called, it was old as fuck with a tighly balled up root system the size of the bucket sized pot it was in. They seemed really sweet and casual at first, a lot of off-topic talk about what was going on in their lives. I also wanted to split it and replant it to give it more room so I had questions and needed some advice on that. Looking around over a couple of days, they might have threads already, I noped the fuck out. Really nasty brawls spanning several threads with tens of posters involved seemed to erupt over nothing, go on for a day or two, then everything was back to normal and no one mentioned it. edit: it also seemed like a good idea to not be a man on that forum. Or a woman. Maybe non-binary finally found a purpose?
Cat fighting is an old and busted term but it was exactly like when cats suddenly jump each other and start swinging claws and biting then they all stop and walk away as if nothing happened.
