it's not like Lauren not being pure enough prevents anyone from being further right or being more traditional or whatever

I'm ambivalent, there's more important things to focus on.

sure

/pol/ right now is in a pretty good state when it comes to the threads

just a couple weeks ago, it was clogged with bullshit

whenever the news cycle is slow it's clogged with bullshit

that's the way it is, at least for a while

remember the time the mods let 20 different threads of the black dick copypasta exist at the same time

it's insane really

the GameFAQs Politics board was my first introduction to politics on the internet (and politics in general) when I was like...11

back in the latter years of the Bush Administration

I basically left GameFAQs entirely around 5 years ago, but recently I checked in and saw it was pretty much the same bullshit

thankfully it doesn't have moderation as bad as NeoGAF

ahahahaha

game forum political discussions are leftist like 100% of the time aren't they?

when I was an impressionable young lad, these faggots turned me leftist for most of my teen years

@FLanon yeah, but GameFAQs thankfully is less strict on moderating right wing opinion in comparison to other spaces

I think it's gotten a bit better since then

wtf how is information being public any better

there are a lot of Trump supporters on GameFAQs as far as I can tell, but I'm no longer a regular

that just shows people are sheep and need media attention to find the truth

that's a lot worse

they're still outnumbered by the leftists, but in comparison to the latter days of Bush, and the Obama years, there's a lot more right-wing posters

a lot of them are probably former leftists like me

Yeah, I mean in the climate it was just unpalatable to be right wing

oh and the thing is...many of the people who "mature" from leftist gamer drivel tend to leave GameFAQs and websites like it (like me)

you had 5 years of a useless war on our hands

etc

I'm surprised it's still very active

I recognize one of the users on the Politics thread right now "Turtlemayor333"

that guy was a regular on the RuneScape board back in 2006

jesus

imagine spending over a decade of your life regularly posting on Gamefags

I never really spent too much time on game forums, not political discussion at least

I never was too political until 3-4 years ago

what's funny is that I forgot pretty much every username from my gamefaqs days, so now that I'm currently browsing through it again, some of them are triggering flashbacks

what made you more political ?

The climate

looking around, making realizations
