It's like, at first, it was relatively apolitical except maybe the New Atheists who got popular by criticizing the mostly right-wing religious nutjobs.
But then, I think around the mid-2010s, it started to get super political. Suddenly, everybody started to talk about how the evil wacky removed SJWs were trying to destroy gaming and our culture?
At this point, it seems like many people have snapped out of it and are making fun of these "anti-woke" crazies, but what materially caused this phenomenon to happen in the first place and why does it still persist to an extent?
How do you think we could do that? It's hard to do much of anything in capitalist controlled spaces.
I'd love to take back these spaces cause they can provide us with an opportunity to make some of the things in nerd culture better cause we can remove all the liberalism from it.
