They hated the statement made by the cyberpunk ghost story devs https://archive.is/jhn9j Also tried to pretend the devs didn't actually get a bunch of harassment and that they didn't get called sexist.

Most of reddit in general is, the default subs especially.
They don't care about the truth, they care about pushing the narrative. If something does not support the narrative, then it must be attacked or discredited.
Default subs have their mod teams essentially picked out by reddit's admins. Only santized, silicon valley corporate approved thoughts are allowed in them. Any opinions that push outside that are suppressed.
Then one of the mods has the audacity to come to our sub and actually yell at a user.
They complain that they're being brigaded even though we do nothing of the sort and don't want to engage with them, then they come into our sub and try to start shit.
The level of retarded faggotry never ceases to amaze.
How does one brigade a massive default sub that is actively promoted by the site?
"Everyone come join us!"
"We didn't mean you!"
Brigading basically changed to meaning "lots of people are disagreeing with me" quite sometime ago.
Many times you are called a brigader by bringing a "non-mass approved" opinion from another sub into one. Even if you are a user of both.
Basically, yeah.
I suspect by this point that simply not being enthusiastic enough would get you pulled from the mod team of a default sub.
I suspect it's been like that since at least 2016.
It's the only way I can explain the total disconnect between the politics of reddit default subs and, like, basically any twitch chat.
Upvotes regularly aren't legit and neither are downvotes. Anything that seems like it might be wrongthink - I know this is the case because I've seen repeated instances where I or someone else will post a reply 8 clicks deep in some comment thread where really only a tiny handful of people are going to see it, and it will get instant downvotes from more people than were participating in the conversation that far down in the thread.
Like, there's no fucking way you get 5 downvotes (and no negative replies) within 2 seconds of posting unless your comment high in the pile.
Reddit has a long history of allowing wokesters to brigade with impunity, so I see no reason to doubt that they don't also turn a blind eye to bots doing the same thing.
Reddit is just a total disaster even compared to just a year ago. One of the local subs for my area has basically turned into /leftistcovidfearporn. There are pretty much two discussion topics there now, either the government killed everyone and socialism is the answer or we will all be killed by virus because very few people are wearing a mask. This is supposed to be local discussion but it's been totally taken over.
I even quit most gaming subs back before virus and politics got so big because there was no longer discussion just agree with our views or we will just hurl insults and tell you you're wrong. There's no ability to make an argument or critical thinking left.
"The government killed everyone, the only solution is more government."
At what point did the brains in these people stop functioning.
you assume they ever did.
Everything is just a total disaster compared to just a year ago.
All state/city level subreddits are that way.
every time
They use that tactic on basically everything that disagrees with them or calls them out. Like when people started saying “virtue signal” libs fell over themselves saying how cringe it was to be against leftist self righteous lecturing
cringe - oof - yikes - thats not it chief
surely i forgot plents of their idioms. i spot one of these i simply downvote without reading further.
Lol about the guy claiming KiA is brigading them; "Unfortunately for them, there don't seem to be enough of them to really do a lot." Does that even constitute a brigade, then?
"They're brigading us!"
Shows pictures of KIA users not wanting to purchase the game.
*No one gives a shit about you r/games"
God those blind simpletons are subhuman with how easily they deny objective reality directly infront of them.
That place is a shit hole and every post is some dumb shit with 50k upvotes about what their girlfriend or whatever bought them or some other dumb shit
Just look at the WoW sub.

I couldn't imagine playing that game today. I played it a ton a decade ago with all kinds of great fun people. I can't even imagine the shitshow such a social game is today
I have a nearly lifetime free sub and its not as bad as it appears. Because the gulf between "social/casual" and "actually plays the game" is so wide its almost two different games.
Almost nobody will find this tucked away shit, until Blizzard/Wowhead point it out or
showpay someone to make a viral video/article about it. The game is literally packed with so much random "reference" and quirky bullshit that most of it gets lost in the noise and you have so many daily chores you lack the time to sit and read things.I truly wish my friends would play other games but after a decade its all sunken cost. At least mine is free.
why are you on reddit?
It's reddit. People can bring up default subs, but even supposedly "based" ones are just as trash without anyone here calling them out.
They’re a bunch of idiots who like to grandstand. Sometimes, I question whether they even play video games.
For April Fools recently they shut the sub down to lecture for some SJW activism cause, where it was normally one of the more fun days of the year. Havent been there since.
