Was that sub infiltrated or manipulated some way or is it just getting bigger? I had to filter it out on my r/all this year because it's getting more deranged than r/politics to the point of unbearable.
It was always deranged to some extent. But now it seems like the userbase there are unhinged and the most diehard of SJWs. Most subs on r/all are like this now. Nothing is apolitical to these people.
There was a time when WPT was just a sub poking fun of the nerdy things that white people would post on Twitter. It wasn't overtly political and it was actually pretty funny. My theory is that WPT got bought by the democratic party, and the original mods aren't allowed to say anything because they all signed non disclosure agreements.
