That doesn't seem like an insult to me
It's the same as calling a German Hans or an American Johnny.
It's not. It's mostly used to refer to a very stereotypically Swedish person.
The Redditor seems to be projecting this word to mean something it's not then, they must have been called it and felt offended because: . So cringe.
It sounds like it is literally just an affectionate diminutive form of the given name Sven.
