Yeah Reddit is actually right leaning outside the straight up anti fascist circles.

All the gaming subs lean hard alt-right

Personally never noticed but then again those places aren’t often ones of political “discussions”.

Mention anything accepting of like LGBT people in /gaming and they’ll ratio you as hard as /conservative would.

Really? Thats kinda fucked, I know the gaming world isn’t known for their welcoming communities of which I have an in depth first hand experience but goddamn that seems a bit much.

Oh no not at all, they’re pretty much all alt-right “free Andrew Tate” incels if we’re being blunt.

Fucks sake the game Celeste is LOVED but when the person who made it said it’s about them and being trans, they had to lock the thread, due to the onslaught of transphobic comments.

/Minecraft got mad because the new chat system doesn’t let them spam the N word & antisemitic shit any more. That’s not what they say they’re mad about but that’s what they’re actually mad about.

Gamergate is basically still alive and well.

Yeah that minecraft one is too true but personally I have seen a few actual problems with the new filter system, particularly that in some places it is far too sensitive to regular words and in others it in some ways facilitates unnecessary shadow banning, not that i play minecraft much anymore, most of my friends are busy or elsewhere.
