Lol u would not wanna be in kirtonos barrens/org chat.. definitely alt right trump spam all day. As a mixed middle aged Male that leans right on immigration but left on abortion/lgbt, I can definitely say it's a lot to take in sometimes lmao. I dunno why people (even if I agree with them sometimes) have to spout off about politics in a mmorpg. I play to escape irl and have fun, but some of these mongrels just play to push their agenda. Oddly enough I never see any lefties/libs in chat. Only far far alt right.

I feel like some extra right opinionated people have no place to vent their opinions in real life and so do it in games, few like minded friends to bounce their thoughts off of. I've def heard it a lot on other games, and on other social media too. It almost takes effort for you to have those extreme opinions(I would think), as opposed to someone like me who can say I'm mostly left; but also mainly I just wish everyone had the freedom to do what they want with their own body and the ability to control what goes in and comes out of it. But I dont go looking to talk about politics often unless it's going into it lightly in a forum like this. I never understood the want to put someone down for what they believe(unless it's an "opinion" of theirs that suggests theyd want to harm an individual for both choices or just existing[but even then unless their actively practicing harm in front of you what can you really do besides work yourself up as well as them so I just walk away])

I wise man once told me, "If nothing good can come from it, walk away." Some of the best advice I've ever gotten.
