Depends on which thread and which users we're talking about. Some people like Tuneraddict and darkcheef make an effort to see how much of a cunt they can act. Anvil is God used to be like that, but now he hides in the MLP thread, so idk if he finally grew up.
Yeah, but that's the same with any community. There's always a few assholes who try to be dicks to everyone. I guess they find it entertaining or something.

FFM, I used to go on UG, but decided to stop after I got tired of 90% of the users acting like cunts.
So now I'm here exclusively.

Seems like a lot of users like acting like dicks, especially when there's a lot of people that really dislike you.
About the time I left, it was a mix of people trying to on-up each other with who can be the biggest cunt possible, borderline red pill-ers/rape apologists, and tumblr-eque social justice warriors who would proclaim anyone mentioning anything about race as 'racist' and call them 'autistic' as a slur, ignorant to the irony.
That was about a year and a half ago though, so it's probably changed. There were cool users though, many of which now come here. The best threads were shoop threads and the odd running joke (or 'UG meme' in a more detestable phrase) was pretty funny. So very glad I just come here now.
I think the only thing that changed, is that people don't normally use autism as a slur.
Well some progress is better than none.
I know after Hydra became a mod, he started getting on to people for using aspie and such as insults, and particularly Ian the Fox for using it all the time.
Yeah, it's true that there were some cool people on UG such as Ali, moscaespanol, Brad and NastyN8.
I know Ian claimed to be a troll, at least for the last year or so, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if he was really like that in some form.
Pagan was cool and Void was too, though super shy.
I know Ian trolled, but I'm pretty sure there's a certain level of truth to it all. Because I know he used to hang out in GG&A and he was a prick on there, and he was kind of like that when he first joined. I know he first pissed everyone off, and befriended the bronies, then he pissed them off, and then he turned into a mega troll.
