Comment on Politically-engaged Redditors tend to be more toxic -- even in non-political subreddits

The thing is, what a politically engaged person thinks of as “politics” and what a disengaged one does probably has limited overlap. People probably aren’t bringing the Tories or the Republicans up in a D&D community, but bring up race portrayal or representation for disabled people and watch the sparks fly.

I wouldn’t bring up either up during a game. Unless I was prepared for some serious eye rolls and not being invited again lol.

And unfortunately people do bring up the former during all kinds of shit. Politic brains are wild.

  People in a D&D subreddit aren’t playing D&D; they’re talking about playing D&D. Those are completely valid topics to bring up.

    Depends on the commynity. Some just don’t want politics being brought into them. If it’s allowed/not forbidden then by all means.
