It’s hard to express just how radicalized far-right spaces have become in the last month, in part because this new brand of radicalization is so specific.
These spaces have become openly, aggressively, mask-off anti-gay.
They’ve also become extremely… anti-sports! It’s weird!
I know this sounds insane, but many in the MAGAverse have started aggressively attacking anyone who watches sports.
There are some allowances for stuff like MMA, but they believe it’s feminine to idolize sports stars in these spaces now.
It’s a full divorce from regular people.
The big things users gripe about on extremist far-right sites in the last few months are: Trans people, gay people, LGBTQ allies, and people who like sports.
They call it sports “sportsball” and complain constantly.
It’s hard to think of anything more alienating in America than “let’s hate football fans and work to stop kids from watching Frozen,” but that’s where the far-right has been laser-focused in the last month.
They’re trying to take down sports and Disney, mostly due to homophobia.
