Why is Morgan Stanley such a bad bank?

Hi everyone, I'm a freshman at a target high school and I'm super duper interested in joining the finance industry. I remember watching movies like Wolf of Wall Street and thinking, "Wow I want to be like that!"

Eventually my dogged persistence and endless passion for buying and selling stocks brought me to this website. I always thought Morgan Stanley was a really good bank but it looks like people have a different opinion here. Whenever someone writes a really bad comment, the reply is always something like "Dumb take. Here's a MS." or "You're a fucking idiot. More MS for you."

Why is Morgan Stanly associated with idiots on this forum? Is it an inside joke or something? Insights?

Lmaooo exactly, how can you not tell it's a troll after a sentence like that?
