Are we the majority yet? Or have the fringe beliefs become the majority? We're not even the fringe lol. A lot of GC was just..normal balanced viewpoints. And refugees from other communities that had gone Xtra woke. I felt the same about all the subs that allowed open discussion and differing ideas.

Right! I feel like I became a much better, more reasoned debater/discusser on GC, because people there knew how to say their point and not apologize for it.

In other "woke" spaces, you are expected to cringe and apologize everytime you bring up something that might "trigger" someone over something. It's just a manipulation tactic and I'm sick of it.

At GC, I felt like people could communicate directly without going over into the alt-right, hostile, in your face for no reason type of discourse.
