  Toxic language remains an ongoing challenge on social media platforms,
presenting significant issues for users and communities. This paper provides a
cross-topic and cross-lingual analysis of toxicity in Reddit conversations. We
collect 1.5 million comment threads from 481 communities in six languages:
English, German, Spanish, Turkish,Arabic, and Dutch, covering 80 topics such as
Culture, Politics, and News. We thoroughly analyze how toxicity spikes within
different communities in relation to specific topics. We observe consistent
patterns of increased toxicity across languages for certain topics, while also
noting significant variations within specific language communities.
