Stick to forums about gaming or such. That's the only thing you can discuss on Reddit. Except if the game goes woke and you happen to dislike it, obviously.

True to a certain extent but self professed gamers are some of the most censorious and opinion intolerant people you'll meet. It's telling how emotional and defensive some people get when you mention you don't like their favorite game. Especially if your reasons for not liking it are the same reasons they like it.

JRPG and anime adjacent stuff like Nintendo tend to be the worst for this I think. Lots of these people just can't fathom that other people aren't exact carbon copies of themselves and their likes are different so they'll flat out ban opinions they don't like for wrong think if they are given mod powers.

Also Reddit is astroturfed as fuck and gaming is big business. I never assume opinions I see there are organic. Devs do mod their own game subs and some love to drop the ban hammer on critical takes.

You couldn't be more right. I've heard the gamers are the worst
