        Which is due to the headline being phrased in the same way as the commonly used Reddit theme of AITA. It makes it seem as if the OP is asking the question, rather than it being the headline of an editorial.

              The concept behind am I the asshole is that even though a title can lead people in one direction the explainition may take you in another. All the people who didn’t read the article and instead made snap judges based off a title… YTA
