Like every time I read the comments for any movie/show that features anything other than a white dude as the lead, everyone is like "tHe w0Ke cRoWd WiLL LoVE ThIs!!1!"

It's especially bad for anything Disney, which according to them, is a communist factory for LGBTQIA+ PEDO GROOMING or some other conspiracy nonsense. Granted, Disney is fully deserving of scathing criticism, but for different reasons.

Has anyone else noticed this? It's just weird to me because I view torrenting as a very anti-capitalist activity, but that seems to be lost on them?

    Thanks for giving a thoughtful and non-salty response.

    Private torrent sites are a bit different but equally full of chuds.

    Yes, I should have clarified that I was referring to private indexes, not public.

    Torrenting is not revolutionary.

    This is a fair point, and I guess I never really thought of it as revolutionary, but like you mentioned more of a "squatters rights" kinda mentality.

    Torrenting is about sharing.

    I agree with this 100% - that's why I have seeds that are at least 2 years old at this point, and I don't plan on removing them. And on that note - maybe the better question to ask is whether or not someone's seeding history relates to their political ideology?
