Politically-engaged Redditors tend to be more toxic -- even in non-political subreddits::A new study links partisan activity on the Internet to widespread online toxicity, revealing that politically-engaged users exhibit uncivil behavior even in non-political discussions. The findings are based on an analysis of hundreds of millions of comments from over 6.3 million Reddit users.

People probably aren't bringing the Tories or the Republicans up in a D&D community, but bring up race portrayal or representation for disabled people and watch the sparks fly.

I wouldn't bring up either up during a game. Unless I was prepared for some serious eye rolls and not being invited again lol.

And unfortunately people do bring up the former during all kinds of shit. Politic brains are wild.

People in a D&D subreddit aren't playing D&D; they're talking about playing D&D. Those are completely valid topics to bring up.
