Anybody else noticed that left-wing forums are raging masses of seethe and backstabbing, requiring constant moderation and users posting about how they hate their lives and threatening to kill themselves? And right-wing forums are full of people making jokes, emotionally supporting each other in tough times and generally shooting the shit with their buddies?

I have.
Eh...I don't think it's really a left or right-wing thing. It's more so having a userbase with people who don't constantly huff their own farts. For all the faults the Farms has, at least you're not seeing the site trying to do a useless boycott of Microsoft for shit nobody cares about.
 
Speaking from experience, I highly recommend banging at least one uggo while you're still young because not only is it probably going to be an easy lay, it gets you past that awkward young "how do I talk to girl" phase once you realize that when the lights are off, they're all the same. Unless they are fat. But that's a whole different beast.

That's why I'm limiting my observation to forums that only lean one way. I know I oversimplified a bit, but when was the last time you saw a A&H poster threaten to kill themselves or try to get another fired from their jobs because they disagreed about videogames?

And even you noted that shit behaviour is only really limited to the political boards here. Whereas go to ResetERA or SomethingAwful and the constant political commisaring and emotional meltdowns are the rule, not the exception, on any thread about any subject. Look how many more rules ERA has compared to KF or ONA. I've also noticed the same thing on Facebook (where there are WAY more rightoids than you might expect, the Zucc allows hilariously racist things these days). Left-wing groups have a million rules and everyone threatens to kill themselves over stupid shit. Right-wing groups just laugh at the left and their rules seem to extend to "don't be a dickhead".

My personal theory is that leftists require authority whereas rightists believe in individual responsibility, at least in their online forms. Right-wingers tend to trust each other to behave, and if you don't behave, meh, that's your problem. But leftists must get an authority figure involved, and believe that people won't behave unless corralled.
I have this theory that a lot of the modern left is made up of peaked in highschool former teachers pets who are eternally searching for a teacher who can give them good boy points for thinking the right things and being able to follow instructions and who they can use to punish others by snitching to.

Teachers pets were usually smart though (how do you suck up to a teacher while being retarded?), these people have the IQ of snails. Retarded snails. Like they literally know nothing about anything to an astonishing degree. All they can do is recycle things one of the Poster Bois they follow say to a T.

They more likely all have college degrees (paid for by their parents) in some worthless Arts. It gives them the air of superiority for having a degree, they think they're more educated than someone who did something useful (cause we studied the history of the history of reading books!) but they also didn't actually learn anything they can apply to...anything. But they weren't actually GOOD at said degree, because they're also lazy and empty.
 
I have to agree with @McSneaks honestly, One even wonders if (and how) the likes of Slayven and Entremet managed to get potty trained and form whole sentences.

A PhD in Physics told me once to not always assume that doctors are the brightest bulbs. Reading nothingloud's adventures about liposuction, sodomy, and his close and friendly relationship with addiction (weed of all things, no less) has pretty much vindicated that story for me.
 
The entire forum is predicated on mindlessly consooming. I bet people browse this thread and immediately buy 2 Xbox out of nervousness.
ResetEra is well known for their loyalty and worship of Sony its a carry over from NeoGaf but It wouldn't surprise me if they buy xboxes anyways just to destroy them or secretly play them.

ResetERA fell for the idiotic propaganda that Microsoft is "pro-consumer" going into this generation of consoles, so Sony is the enemy now, going back to 2019 or so.
