Here’s a few examples:
The Popcast (recently made a video warning of the “dangers” of the Barbie movie because it’s feminist. Now Im going to go see it lol), Midnights Edge (general right wing conspiracy theories regarding media, occasional delving into new age crank too), Nerdrotic (thinks Hollywood is engineering a communist Red Guards plot to kill conservatives), The Critical Drinker (typical edgelord anti feminist), Dave Cullen (extreme anti feminist who believes in all the QAnon, Agenda 21 conspiracy theories).
And it goes on and on. I know there’s popular left wing and liberal reviewers too, but for whatever reason so many of the ones I run into are far right. Is there some sort of draw for conservatives to geekdom or is something else going on?
This isn’t a youtube problem, I was watching some old Star Trek episodes on a stream and everyone in the chat was using racist dog whistles and just spamming the n-word
Old fanbases are the worst and most racist and everyone should avoid them unless they secretly agree with them
Yeah reminds me of Star_Trek on reddit…
It’s the same, same with LOTR and Star Wars, and it’s always bizarre because the universes are anything but right-wing and never were but they just latch on to anything and ruin it for everyone else. They stole the red-pill metaphor from Matrix this same way.
So now I just stay away entirely from the fanbases and stick only to close friends
This is the only star trek community I post on because it has enough filters to keep out the racist and sexist toxicity crap
