I call myself a stupid idiot because I make so many stupid mistakes that other people wouldn't make in environments like college, home or with my friends
You are biased. You know about your own mistakes. But you often do not know about the mistakes other people make. Like painting a wall. You do see the errors you made, the paint splashes, the place where you had to repair the wall, the place where you had to paint twice because of sloppy painting or dark colors on the wall. All the stuff most others would not notice or deem important. While I can of course not tell you how stupid you really are, I do can tell you that phenomenons like this are real. They go hand in hand with stuff like confirmation bias and even overconfidence like the Dunning-Kruger effect. (That could be me trash talking game devs, because I think, I could do it better ;-)
Regarding the robot thing ... gaming was once nerd territory... ;-)
Good to see that you already picked up one of the fundamental rules of sound arguments. It does not matter who says something. It could be proverbial villain or the town idiot. If premise is true and logic is sound, argument is sound.
(Reddit is a swamp. It more or less is a mirror of the internet users. The good and the bad. And you can guess what side gets more coverage outside of reddit. But it might become a self fulfilling prophecy. If enough people avoid reddit because of bad reputation, only the people going there for the bad reputation will be there. Be sure not to give real personal infos there. Or anyhwere for that matter.)
