On facebook, I'm in a group for people who like 50s/60s era of television, and recently the admin banned someone who was trying to discuss lack of diversity in tv shows of that era and racial politics. People were saying it was unfair, but the admin said this group is for a specific topic. Years back I would've seen that as harsh, but now I'm all for it. If only we done that with our hobbies once the usual suspects infiltrated.
The larger point being is that there is always some idiot who feels the need to bring in politics or some other issue into a completely unrelated hobby, and can't just let people have an escape. Recently I saw that the Twister movie was attacked for not addressing climate change, and I remember that Far Cry game got bad reviews for not addressing white supremacy.
Of course, the usual thing we hear is that "(fill in the blank) has always been political" or "it is too important". One of the reasons I rarely use reddit now is because of what happened during the "summer of love". I collect sports cards (baseball/football/hockey) and on a hockey card subreddit you had people who felt the need to have long posts about covid or vaccine misinformation along with the usual racial reckoning nonsense. Then of course they jumped all over me for asking what that has to do with hockey cards and I was told "some things are too important". I had to completely get off the Dallas Cowboys subreddit because they went off the deep end at that time.
Anyway, the mindset of these people who just can't let people enjoy something or feel that their point of view has to be brought into anything and everything even if it is some babies playing with blocks will never cease to annoy me.
this. for these kinds of people, anything that doesn't support their gay commie agenda is not just competition... it's a threat.
their gay commie agenda is so disconnected from reality that it requires constant, endless, pervasive lies and misrepresentations everywhere you look, because even simple exposure to basic facts would devastate their ridiculous narrative.
just look at the frontpage of reddit right now. they're spamming tons of subs how kamala won 3 national polls... doesn't matter what sub it is or how unrelated to politics it is. they're also not mentioning the fact that her "wins" were within the margin of error... or even worse... how there have been 37 other national polls since she was announced and she lost all of them. the objective of that fake news is to misrepresent to those people that she's more popular than she actually is, and that more people SHOULD like her because hey, look at these 3 polls!
