I suspect this also why trolls seem right-wing.

Center-leftisim dominates. So, platforms that are vulnerable to trolls get filled with stuff that antagonizes center-leftists.

If different things antagonized people, we'd see trolls posting different things.


Tumblr seems to be doing fine, as does twitter.

I'd also say that going communist to center leftists is something that antagonizes the center left but there's very little communists in comment sections ironic or otherwise. I mean I saw some great mock ups of DPRK propaganda with Bernie edited in, but that was an exception rather than a rule. Instead there was a drive to distance/look respectable even on forums all for Bernie.

Basically there does not seem to be a far left like there is a far right.

All the Overwatch characters are hot. Tracer isn't the most attractive to me but she is super cute so...:shrug:

She is also the mascot so her being gay is huge.

Also with 4chan my understanding is that the owner has some realization of how horrible the monster they created is, like to my understanding they at least tried to ban gamergate poo poo. Maybe they are just like the Reddit owner and just support "all speech is free speech?"
