KA2 was always a community I visited but not one of my primary communities. I remember years ago, KA2 seemed to have a very diverse community group with a lot of women also. I'd say the politics of KA2 was very bluepilled but with a realization that woke in video games is problematic.

Are you sure that is KiA2 and not KiA? Because KiA2 has always been rather significantly 'redpilled' as you would call it. And even the original KiA has shifted towards being more 'redpilled' over time.

Even the mods seem to have given up with a lot of stuff they'd have previously banned over.

Mod. There are different standards for what gets you banned here vs. on the subreddit. Overall, I wouldn't say that it's anti-woman comments that is damaging to the community, if anything is.

Imp is a curiosity. He is entertainment. He is so extreme that he forces even people who otherwise agree with him to oppose his comments. Just to hold up a mirror to him, I've had to argue that men are bad. That is why there are some people who suspect that he is actually a feminist woman trying to give anti-feminists a bad name.

So I don't think he's ruining anything. Unless the back-and-forth between him and other people annoys you, as it does some people, but I confess I find that rather amusing.

Now arguably, any "redpilled" community if not constantly censored will kind of divulge into what KA2 has become because as people start to open their eyes to what's going on

You never describe what 'the problem' is. There is a surfeit of Stormfaggotry here, sure, but that has nothing to do with the Imp. He's in fact the strongest opponent of that bunch.

I feel like Imp1 has had a major impact himself entirely that might have ensured the community didn't naturally progress itself but it just driven off a lot of previous members.

Some people may restrict growth, but not the Imp. He's too marginal a figure to do that. What may dismay people is if 90% of people on a thread are rabid Jew-haters.
