title, basically.

I mean they lost a lot of writers when they dared to represent the Pride Flag for a while, it was a whole big schiism and all. The actual SPCs and Tales don't really seem to reflect this, I read a lot of those and honestly, apart from the setting (and even then), most seem to explore things that are, genuinely, apolitical, because it's all supernatural.

    Waaaay back when, 4chan used to just be about being edgy. Being queer was edgy, doing internet 'activism' with a guy fawkes mask was edgy, being a liberal / anti-war in the post 911 political environment was edgy, sharing shock photos was edgy, etc. The issue was that by 2008ish, 4chan reacted to the wave of liberal ideology in the wake of Obama's election by becoming nazis. And since nothing is edgier than being a nazi, they're stuck there forever.
