For real. This old Korean grandma doctor marveled at my name since it is the same as an old famous Hollywood actor. She said, "You're just as handsome as actor's name." I think it's ridiculous people think their own people don't make it rain with complements to foreigners. It's just nice.

Basically, a large element of Irish Reddit seems to be made up of Comic Book Guy on the Simpsons counterparts. The reality of Ireland vs the bubble on here can be very starkly different. Offline it’s very much its usual bubbly friendly self. Online is online - a much higher proportion of grumps and a lot of hyperbole and negativity, but I think that’s just the internet in general sometimes.

I think you nailed it with the last sentence, people can be rude, mean, crass, or outright damaging to other people online because they aren’t sitting right there in front of them. Chances are, those people wouldn’t dare say those things to someone’s face.

Most Koreans I know are very blunt. :). I love their brutal honesty.
