tyrannosauruslex94: kropotkhristian: When reddit is woke Oh wow, this is too real for me, lol. I honestly could’ve wrote this, because this is almost exactly my experience as well. The thing that kinda snapped me out of that mindset pretty quickly actually, regarding TumblrinAction and similar communities is that I started noticing a creeping far-right sentiment that pretty much everybody mostly either ignored or actually started embracing because “they can’t be any worse than SJWs.” And I just found myself realizing that “oh my god, I am in terrible company and I am objectively becoming a shitty person because of it.” Of course, it turns out that it wasn’t a coincidence and actual Nazis were indeed aware of these spaces and they were, in fact using them as a breeding ground for recruitment, something I’ve noticed in retrospect regarding Gamergate (I was gone at that point, thank god), and how figures like Milo Yiannopoulos, Mike Cernovich, and Breitbart as a whole effectively used that entire situation to bolster themselves into what they stand for now. But yeah, as a former “anti-sjw” or whatever, I am so glad that I managed to get out of that toxic mindset and those communities, because it’s honestly cancer. It’s pure cancer. -- source link
