I blame the media.

No, seriously. These groups are often portrayed as such, these traits used to make their alignments abundantly clear, in entertainment media. Then you've got the impressionable youth, they see that and act that way. Or maybe it's vice versa. Either way, a few bad apples ruin the bunch, and the entertainment industry is passing the infection around like the whore that it is.


i.e.: It's not just the site. Welcome to the world.
