But we have to be careful when analysing these charts. Going down on the graph doesn't entail it's hapening less, it could just not have grown with the rest.

Interesting. After some experimentation, it seems like shitshow is on the rise. That said, I don't know if it can compete with the steady long-term gains of clusterfuck.
Decided to look at some of the common insults. I didn't realize SJW was so recent. And cuck is really recent although I expected that. Just not sure where it came from.
This seems kind of broken, I would prefer it if the trends weren't given as a percentage of the whole. Search Haskell, a programming language that's gotten really popular in recent years, but you wouldn't know that from this site, since the Haskell has grown in popularity much slower than reddit has grown as a community, so it looks like Haskell is dead.
