Articles and headlines often contain loaded emotional language, evident in titles like “I Almost Fell For A Die-Hard Trump Supporter But Dodged A Bullet” and “There Is No “Guy” In My Lesbian Relationship, People.”
The site also publishes pseudoscience-related content, such as horoscopes, “How Toxic Is He Based On His Zodiac Sign?” Regarding sources, they use reputable ones like ohchr.org and New York Times.
Finally, while they do not usually cover politics, they have negative opinions of former President Trump, such as this Waxwork Of Donald Trump Removed From Museum Because People Wouldn’t Stop Punching It In The Face.
