That's almost a feature, in my opinion. Take /pol/ for example. Ignore the "the jews" and obvious bait threads and you can still find some good discussion. If someone is unwilling to ignore what accounts for a fringe part of a site's user base just because they don't want to be "associated" with evil nazis I doubt they will be missed.
Does a site need broad appeal? The larger something gets, the more "actual regular people" show up, the more likely a place is going to get a target pained on it and eventually over run by leftist influence. I believe in gatekeeping and if tolerating a few "da jews" posts is part of that, fine.

Great post! Sums things up very well. Hopefully .win can can break through this early mess with some bigger communities that just outshine this crap.
