Step one, you get a group of people from a different forum to post about new topics, and vote consistently on them.
Step two, by doing that, you attempt to create a false consensus and make it seem like that opinion is popular and correct.
Step three, anyone who disagrees is piled on and removal is attempted via mod actions/etc if possible.
Step four, you collapse the forum once it's taken over and move on to the next one, in order to stop the people who disagree with you from forming effective resistance.
Notice it, call it out.
Ok, what's this in reference to as the only things I can clearly say weren't relevant where the pedo encouraging child marriage posts and when we were getting spammed with AI porn fortunately both seemed to decrease after election (maybe they were paid?). A lot of the people here are old hats from GG so it's cultural issues that's the focus which encompasses A LOT.
As for opinions, it depends on how you word it. Hell quite a few of the things Imp used to say WOULD be popular, just he was so abrasive it pissed people off. Unfortunately even as guys we can still be very fickle in being completely objective.
We also got DDOSed around elections, iirc
The problem with Imp1 wasn't that he was abrasive, but that he was oddly selective about what he was abrasive about. I've seen abrasive manosphere members, that's why Imp1 seemed sus to me
