If you read my message when they first allowed such topics in OT, I told you it was more like 4chan. Imo, it has gotten better, but only marginally.

Yeah Krista I read them and I absolutely agree. I'm not sure they realized what kind of unholy monstrosity they were about to release when relaxing the rules...
I mean, I thought most of OT was actually left, so when it went far right, I was shocked. Admittedly, I knew some of the right would play, so I just assumed it would be, well, more balanced.

Tbh, I lost some of my family and who I thought was my bff to politics. There just is no reaching them.

Yeah, neither did I. I think it used to be left-leaning many years ago, maybe since the older users from OTL would still frequent RSOT. But they're mostly gone now.

There's something to be said for the theory that when kids grew up with 8 years of Obama the counterculture pendulum swung back to conservatives.
This current pendulum swing goes back farther than that, I think. Maybe to the 1950s/60s, at the earliest. I'm not an expert, though.

It's much easier than that.
The left took a shot with feminism and Anita Sarkeesian. This is the consequence.
Now we have people in this forum crying because the views shared don't directly line up with them. Diversity of thought is their worst nightmare. Seriously, all you have to do is read the last couple pages and you can see how upset some people get by reading posts that don't line up with their beliefs.
