>See how the alt right infiltrates gaming groups

Goes both ways (if you insist to use the traditional political compass). GCJ is a perfect example of that. I use the "terminally online" word for these people rather.

I agree but I’d caveat the equivalency.

Sure GCJ and other overly leftist subs are annoying. But there is a world of difference of spamming “[video game] is secretly about trans fem boy communism” by GCJ types. Vs alt right groups talking about (real life) minorities not deserving equal rights.

Subjectively, I avoid any overly politically forced sub. However let’s not push the “both sides” argument.
