i do not remember vgc being anywhere near this political back in, say, 2009. but you very well may be correct that it could just be there was way more gaming focused discussion that drowned out those topics. even still, its hard for me to believe there was this much political discourse going on back then. |
A couple reasons.
First of all, for various reasons this site has had a significant decline in users and activity compared to 2009 so the political discussions stand out more.
Second, the US has become more divided since 2009 and Trump is an incredibly polarizing figure who creates a ton of controversy and controversy creates discussion.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
