Iirc there was a split a while back, splintered off into truepublicfreakout or smth that was hella reactionary. So maybe that siphoned off a lot of the chuds.

I think the genre itself is sus, any of that cringe/reaction type content is ripe for fash agitation. But it's cool that the subreddit is decent now

Yeah, it’s probably a problem but I like the fight footage because it reassures me.

The posts making fun of enraged Kyle/Karen types are also nice because I work retail mostly.

I love how reactionaries split almost as much as other, leftist, strains of thought.

Yeah they can be a guilty pleasure for me

Not inherently problematic on a personal level, they just seem to occupy that reactionary pipeline space socially.
