Funny, it's you leftists that I see so full of hate towards others, not real right wingers such as myself.

I genuinely can't tell if the anime, My Little Pony, and video game comments are serious or not.
I haven't watched much anime, but I've dabbled. Through that and the parts of the fandom that overlap with the gaming community, I've noticed this-- Weeb circles seem socially left, with the remainder being mostly apolitical. If they're guilty of anything, it's being "too" disconnected from it all. That said, I've heard there is a growing alt-right segment using anime avatars as some sort of shared identity or some such.
Bronies would never betray Princess Celestia and Princess Luna by voting on some stupid politician.
Gamers, well, I posted this in the other thread.

It's just, I have seen this sentiment before in other places. Mostly from folks who don't actually play video games though. As a gamer, it's a bit annoying to feel targeted again.They utterly failed to prove the connection to increased violent crime on us. Then failed to pin the mass shooting problem on us. Then they said gamers were overwhelmingly male, which turned out to be bullshit, as nearly half of all gamers are female statistically. Then they said gaming wasn't LGBT inclusive enough, and I agree it could use work, but gaming is the most LGBT inclusive of all entertainment mediums by some metrics.
Now it feels like they're butthurt and moving on to the next BS claim against us. And of course, they'll fail to actually prove it.

That was a crazy ass apology.

Gamergate is what got gamers associated with the alt right.
Essentially, it started off as "Dorito Gate" where a stupidly obvious paid endorsement at a major game show featuring prominently placed giant bags of dorito's and mountain dew was denied as being a paid endorsement (And if they were telling the truth, those idiots gave away really good free advertising)
This lead to a "Games Journalists aren't real journalists, they're paid shills" movement. Which in turn lead to certain gamers accusing a certain woman of sleeping her way to fame (Secret relationship, nepotism, ect)
Of course as soon as that happened all the legitimacy vanished, and anyone who even mentioned the word "Gamergate" in support was under suspicion of being an incel.
Which was a lot of the gaming community, many personalities and many fans. The entire culture lost street cred, on par with Brony's or worse.

I feel like you left out an absolute ton of stuff (like the Zoe Post, for example), but okay...

Gamergate really gave gamers a black eye.Despite the fact there were legitimate concerns at the start of it. Reviews being as much a racket as a profession isn't exactly news.

Only single-cell remedials genuinely think gaming communities, bronies or anime weeb circles are in any way especially connected to the alt-right. They're all just things loads of people, young people in particular, do these days. 80% of people I know play video games and at least 60% watch anime (I don't know any Bronies but I know they have a huge leftist community on Reddit and a more alt-right but considerably smaller variation on 4chan). I don't know any alt-right people, almost everyone I hang out with is on the left, so the correlation is zilch.
A lot of alt-righters / edgy 4chan bois are into gaming, anime and MLP, but like I said before, Neo-Nazis drive cars, watch Hollywood movies and use their five primary senses, the specific connection between the group and the activity is a fabrication made up by the smallest, smoothest brains in town.
Trump is getting more popularity and is still barking on about his wall. He might just be able to at least win the nomination, but these are still early stages.
Also, scribble is right. These alt-right people who play vidya games, my little pony and anime are just young weirdos. The true alt-right are corporate ass holes who want to spend government money so when the economy crashes again, they can get their profits.
Trump’s wall would be a repeat of the Hoover dam, which I’ve seen in person. It’s a guilty pleasure. 😮
