Why does people mocking conspiracy theories devalue reddit more than people discussing video games?

Edit for response:

In what ways might mocking 5G conspiracy theories on reddit have a negative political effect?

Because video games are not used as tools for political influence. And Reddit is. Social media are a huge thing in the political landscape these days. Video games are - as far as I know - not.

'So-called' diversity? I'm not familiar with that concept.

Not actual diversity, but the one where you push to equalise minority representations. Like the driver roster in NFS Heat versus Forza Horizon 4 - both equally diverse yet Heat's look abnormal and crooked.
