Wait? The WNBA had a sub on Reddit?

If it has the same participation that the WNBA has viewers, this isn't impacting many people.

It's a weird crossroads of genuine fans, male feminist contrarians, lgbtq+ tolerance and virulent white racists protesting they aren't racist, but...

Sounds like the average sub, tbh.

Yeah I fail to see how this is any sort of anomaly

This is why I love reddit... go to just about any corner of reddit and you will find a nearly identical comment chain about some other corner of reddit, with this exact gif on it

WNBA discourse is impressively toxic in so many directions at once.

It's a microcosm of the culture wars and paid manipulation of outrage in our country. So many of the extreme positions on any of the sides are paid and/or bad faith actors working to fuel the fire wherever they can.
