I don't know, but one of the most consistent patterns I've seen with chud posters, the kind that have just about zero post history in a place they get chuddy in until they post their chuddery, is tons and tons of nfl/nba or team specific fansubs.
My hypothesis is "social engineers" and freelance chuds build up karma points by nodding along in sports subs then go to /r/antiwork or /r/fuckcars to do one off bootlicking posts. It's weird but otherwise I don't understand the pattern.
Anything genuinely popular is going to have some chuds. Chuds are the majority.
Probably just chud magnets, or more simply American magnets. Hell yesterday with the Georgia v. Alabama there was no fucking traffic during the game. I went to a grocery store at 8:30 and I was the only one in there. Americans truely love their slop of combat and sports.
Football hooliganism and post-game riots are far from an American-specific incidence.
is there the same culture of shaming people, especially males, for not keeping awares of sports things/ for not caring?
Isn't America almost famously pacifist compared to Europe and LatAm regarding sports riots? Most of what I remember regarding sports riots in America is just nerds being angry and lighting their own city on fire. Not even any violence, or clashes with the cops.
I think it's a bit of both really
Chuds are drawn to sports because MAN BALL YELL BEER SLAM and it's profoundly easy to get people to agree with you on sports opinions because all you have to say is "Coach Brockmire should be fired because Roy Panklemeer juked when he should have jived! This would never happen with Box Marshall in charge!" and they'll hoot like a pack of trained seals
You're probably right. The overlap with "Barstool Sports" and Joe Rogan chuddery is significant too.
Yeah there are way more anti-china libs. There are actually a lot of people calling out the bullshit too though.
A lot of people were loving the recent actions of Enes Freedom <Kanter> just because he was going against LeBron James and by proxy, China. For several weeks in November and December, there were many highly upvoted threads based on Freedom's Twitter posts. Only after Freedom went on Tucker's show, did the r/nba mods ban any future posts about his off-the -court actions.
It was wild. The anti-chinese Kanter posts were routinely getting 15k+ votes, but the america-love-it-or-leave-it Kanter posts were totally hidden.
Yes, they are chud magnets because America is chudville.
Ironically enough, American soccer fans tend to be less conservative than European ones. A byproduct of being a fringe sport until recently, only watched by immigrants and college students.
I've said it before and I'll say it again but /r/hockey is surprisingly acceptable in their politics. Can't speak to /r/nfl or /r/nba though.
Real life sports fans skew extremely chud so it makes sense that online sports fans would be chuds. I think you're reaching here
sports are pretty widely enjoyed by a lot of people. it's only considered a niche interest on sites full of bird-boned internet addicts like reddit
I wasn't knocking sports. Specifically, I was talking about Reddit sports fansubs and the weird behavior from powerposters on them.
Your treats are uncriticized here.
oh, no, i am a bird-boned internet addict, i do not care about sports
sports, technology, bitcoin/stock shit, fight videos and r/dundermifflin are the ones I notice most
Publicfreakout, upliftingnews, mademesmile, getmotivated, and anything local too.
it's just common denominator shit mixed with still being relevant although it aired from the 2000s into the 2010s. you get all the worst parts of that era while still dealing with people who defend it
We legitimately need to figure out how to disrupt that. They own the grassroots.
It’s hard to fight against every crime story that has someone say “these people are animals”. As you can’t outpost lies with researched truth.
At best you can troll them and ban them.
On sports articles, just rip on owners and how your taxes pay for the stadium.
My home sports subreddits were all bro BLM, no likey the fashy. AOC or Warren lib territory maybe.
:shrug-outta-hecks:
R/nba seems less chuddy because it's a more internationally watched game and most of its players are black or foreign-born.
For r/nfl, it's more of a mix, especially with quarterback still being the marquee star position, where whiteness is still the majority. But you do have a lot of nerds invading now because of sports gambling, sites like FanDuel or DraftKings, and fantasy football talk.
