Reddit is not reality. Don't worry about what is said on reddit. You're a performer, so I'm going to assume you know the basics of reading a room and what it feels like to influence the mood of a crowd. I'm not saying "be charismatic and manipulate people" but most definitely get a feel for your face to face interactions and be proactive in trying to make sure that they are positive ones. Most people are not performers and don't understand the power of projecting emotion or even empathy when they interact with others and I think reddit is a prime example. As for "things going bad" and "starting to stink", I think things have always stunk and have always been going bad and pushing against that is just part of the human thing.
When I get offstage I never see the audience again, also I don't typically run the risk of being detained by police if I'm misinterpreted. I know that's not what you're saying though, ideally I should be able to carry on with my life without those sort of issues if I'm expressin myself clearly/honestly and meaning well. Anyway, you're right. I mean first of all I completely let reddit get to me, but more importantly it's just another cobflict and social issue, granted it's even that prevalent, and cam/should be worked around just like any other.
Much the same with most public interactions. Well, we all have our styles. I think you get what I was saying, but for others reading through, I really believe that public interactions are a lot more open to personal influence than people might think. I learned early on that if you can make a scene and get a crowd laughing, then you have a lot of power over perception. Like, scarily so. You can be the rudest motherfucker on the block, but people will let you get away with all kinds of outlandish shit if you can make them laugh or otherwise connect with them emotionally. Part of being a man means learning how to say, "hey, that's not what I meant and you know that, so stop being a cunt about it . . . sir/ma'am."When I get offstage I never see the audience again

Hehe, I like that. And yeah we're on the same page, thanks. Part of being a man means learning how to say, "hey, that's not what I meant and you know that, so stop being a cunt about it . . . sir/ma'am."
