That's the post-election Trump wave. Imgur is a mess right now, nothing but "oh us poor Trump people are being targeted by rioters" while beating their chest about how great he is.

Sealioning, if you will.

That's not really what sealioning is, especially since Imgur has a very... peculiar political climate. They weren't all that anti-Trump even before the election.

EDIT: What I'm trying to say is, sealioning is when it's unwanted and in a space that isn't meant for that kind of discussion - but Imgur has always had waves of really bad politics go through and they've happily debated (at a preschool-level, but still).

I noticed this as well, and it's been this way for a while.

Basically one person will call bullshit on just about anything that involves sexism, racism, etc. and the majority will fall in line with that thinking. It's about feeling "special" that you "didn't fall for the lies". Which is pretty ironic.

At least left wing identity politics are self aware.
