My late boss created Street Sharks! His name was David Siegel. SoCal native. Surfer. College dropout. Great guy. Lived in Brentwood and Malibu with his 4th wife. He made a shit load of money selling Street Sharks to Mattel. The toys came first, the show came second. He was also the dude behind the Power Rangers plush (with the vinyl heads) in the early 90s. The company that made the PR action figures couldn’t make enough product so he stepped in and got the license for plush. He made millions. His company was called Street Players. He tried rebranding Street Sharks again before his passing but never successfully sold it. He died in July of 2013 in China on a business trip. Rip.
Kaiserreich isn't a game, it's a mod for a strategy game set in ww2 called Hearts of Iron 4
I've only really seen 1 bad political post on r/kaiserreich in my entire life
I actually have autism and while I don't find you calling people autistic a big problem it is lumping everyone into the same group
If you want an explanation to why this happens it's either often caused by a joke being poorly executed (like the one posted here) or lack of actual politics being discussed there
If you're talking about Kaiserboos (monarchists) or people praising mosley it's purely ironic
Okay this is succinct thank you. And you know what - I do apologize for the generalization of the autistically inclined.
However - as an expert in internet lunacy - I have to let you know:
If you’re talking about Kaiserboos (monarchists) or people praising mosley it’s purely ironic
I guarantee you that more of these people than you suspect are being “”ironic””. There’s a reason that I asked about this and it wasn’t (only) because I felt like being a big meanie.
There's definitely going to be people who abuse something that's meant to be fun/ironic, I should have made that clear. However, I think that the majority isn't like this. Internet makes it hard to distinguish what is real and what isn't, so you're definitely right about people with radical opinions.
Kaiserreich is a modification for Hearts of Iron 4, which is a grand strategy game made by the money-grubbers at Paradox Interactive who mass-produce DLC and constantly change how their games play. Kaiserreich gives the opportunity to play as various socialist, liberal democratic, and authoritarian ideologies, and that can lead to some people using it as a power fantasy if they only choose to play as one ideological group.
Unlike kurbu, I've seen political posts spring up from time to time, and it's usually a meltdown between the radical leftists and right-wingers on the servers. Sometimes the meltdowns are caused by one side entirely, but for the most part, it's the leftists who flip the hardest. This leads to the moderators scrubbing everything that breaks the no-politics rule (which constantly gets broken and the people who break them almost never get punished unless it's really toxic) and the cycle continues. Another thing I've noticed is that actual fascists/Nazis on the subreddit are a small minority, yet any time one of them makes their mark on a thread, everyone else goes berserk on them and starts circlejerking over how r/Kaiserreich is awful because they let the far-right participate in the subreddit, not just the far-left.
Majority of the player base, based on a consensus, is primarily young adults, which explains the amount of memelords and political autists. Of course, the mod's major community is located on Reddit, so the Overton Window for the sub is already veering left, and it doesn't help that some of its related subreddits are r/ChapoTrapHouse and r/COMPLETEANARCHY.
tl;dr It pretty much is an RPG for dead meme ideologies some days.
r/drama is literally 25% people screeching about any time anything even vaguely related to trans people happens to exist anywhere and I don't know how they haven't gotten bored

Can someone use plain English to explain what that game is and why their community seems to attract the most autistic people on Reddit?
Is it a basically a role playing game for dead ideologies?

Thats a big assumption we aren’t bored

Wow, it's almost like this is the first time they've actually acknowledged an r/Drama post, and surely there have been no other times they've gone full retard in the past (even the same guy keeps thinking r/Drama's standards have fallen over and over).

Tl;dr minority groups aren't nearly as offended as the people tripping over themselves to white-knight them.
