It’s no surprise that geeks, nerds, and gamers have a pipeline that leads them to the far right. I want to know if the reverse is true because I’m an angry gamer who ended up here on the left.

Angry or not, is geek/nerd/gamer really even a coherent grouping of people?
With that said, I think that some, perhaps many, BreadTubers originally thought their project was to pull these people away from the alt-right pipeline and toward “the left.” But BreadTube was/is largely anti-communist; it’s mostly radlibs, socdems, and anarchists. On lemmy.ml, the admins ended up booting the anticommunist c/breadtube mods and making me mod.
