Yes, it's a HUGE issue. Maybe not in /programming yet, but pretty much any thread dealing with a controversial topic (say, the killings of African-american citizens by police in the US) will be plastered with overt bigotry and hatred. It simply didn't used to be this way. The discussion used to be what I'd go to reddit for, now it's the part I avoid.
