    It’s made by more radicals to fool moderates with both sidesism, technicalities, etc.

    “We’re not denying the Holocaust, we just think the numbers were greatly exaggerated and we exploit the fact that many people think the nazis were cartoon villains who did antisemitism for the sake of evil, so we will pretend if you have a good reason it’s not antisemitism once you got a good enough reason to have an ethinc group, and thus we’re just realists between the outlandish philosemites denying Jewish supremacism and evil nazis wanting to do evil for the sake of evil.

    “We’re not saying that diverse media is bad, um actually we like classics like Metroid, Alien, Men in Black, GTA San Andreas, etc. However we will call almost every diverse media made after 2014 woke (or whatever will the next buzzword will be on it, be careful before we found a mainstream audience for our propaganda, we used the terms “cultural Bolshevism” and “cultural Judaism”, while our less radical counterparts just called them PC), and exploit the fact that the gaming industry is facing a crisis due to balooning development costs, so we will blame activists for it instead of capitalism. Many of our new followers will eventually make the connection to women then will call for the removal of women from the video game industry altogether, but call it meritocracy. Women could just instead stay in the kitchen and give birth to 6-7 video game developers instead, if they weren’t bitter Karens that wanted 6 feet tall men with 6 figure wages and 6 packs.”

    I was pulled down the far-right pipeline in the 2000’s, that was when they started to pull the “we are just moderates between reality horribly misrepresented as radicalism and radical hatred misrepresented as pure evil for the sole sake of evil to make us look moderates in the eyes of naive fools”. They did still had issues with anime (which they called both pedophilic and zoophilic - for the latter, a few anime girls with animal ears and tails were enough), gaming (which were made by thin armed geeks for other thin armed geeks, also there was the obvious Wolfenstein 3D), comics (yet again anti-nazi stuff), etc. This slowly changed as 4channers started to do “ironic” nazism for reals at one point, and a big turning point was Steve Bannon realizing he found an easily manipulable online lynch mob.
