It’s a bit like OSRS for reddit - an attempt to revive the reddit we all have very rose-tinted memories of. Unfortunately we seem to have forgotten about the the rampant casual misogyny, tribalism, moderator political infighting, that the 2007 XP rates were actually abysmally implemented and desperately needed retooling (and that deeply awkward “ron paul” phase reddit went through…)
I think that was their point, that the topic of trans rights/life/culture/whatever-you-want–to-call-it being auch a popular, contentious subject is driving them to dislike everyone involved. I can certainly understand how seeing a topic again and again when you don’t personally care about it can engender (hehe) negative feelings. I don’t really understand not caring about this, though. Maybe they just don’t have any trans friends/relatives, and that lack of personal connection lets them remain aloof from the issue. Maybe they’re just a jerk (doesn’t seem like they are, though). Who knows.
