      Suspect they think it's edgy to waste everybody's time by making oblique reference to some perceived slight. I can't work out what the problem is either. muybasado: Please, either speak plainly and explicitly or, if you're unwilling to do so, remain quiet.

        It is in the nature of the right wing crank to portray themselves as the victim despite usually being the perpetrator.

        But there are several right-wing cranks in that webring. e.g. https://cursed.llolo.lol/thelightofgodministry.org/ https://cursed.llolo.lol/thelightofgodministry.org/ https://cursed.llolo.lol/anti666.com https://cursed.llolo.lol/anti666.com I don't think that can be the demographic group the absence of which they're complaining about.

        Or they may be angry because there is too much right-wing cranks, and not enough left-wing cranks.

Could you expand on this? I can't figure out what you're getting at.

I really didn't understand this comment, and you didn't expand, so I assumed that it must have been something obvious and I was too insensitive to notice. So I did a survey of the first 20 sites it gave me and try to categorize by "demographic/culture." Here's what I got: Unknown (math, science etc) 6 Asian 4 Christian 2 Middle America 2 Goth 1 Democrat 1 Irish 1 EU 1 Swiss 1 English 1 So... I'm still in the dark. I guess Asians are overrepresented? But that included several different countries (I could only wrote Korea and China before I started categorizing them together). Or maybe you decided they were making fun of your demographic in particular, and confirmation bias led you to see only that? Are you seeing "culture war" where there isn't any, or am I still blind?

Culture war does permeate everything, including any time you see something that's perfectly balanced demographically, which is how you know it was contrived and is probably an ad or other obsequious sanitized corporate communication designed not to be cancelable.
