Does Detroit have a dedicated paid group of Reddit PR people or something? I mentioned Detroit in a negative light one time a few months ago on the Toronto subreddit and got bombarded with downvotes and hate lol

Not to say there's anything wrong with your city, it's just crazy how many people will go to bat for it online in such a seemingly wide range of subreddits 😅

It bears the brunt of the joke in many conversations so I assume it gets tiring to repeatedly hear the same joke

Beating a dead horse I guess?

I gave up on making fun of Detroit.

Switched to Albuquerque instead. Most of the Detroit jokes still apply, with the added bonus of drug cartels being more local.

Here at Tegrity cartels, we manufacture our drugs locally and with integrity.
