>>64427407True, but it's usually in reaction to the rest of the internet being firmly in the other camp. For example, this is why there is so much negativity here. It's basically outlawed everywhere else, which causes a buildup that explodes here because it's the only possible outlet.
Take StarsEN. Personally I have nothing against them, but I find it entirely logical that all the dislike against them and male collabs end up here. If you bring this up on youtube, reddit or anywhere else, it will get heavily shat on, no matter how reasonable you might phrase your argument.
Anyway, you're right that it can create echo chambers of a sort in individual threads here. If you go on the catalog though, it's open season. (I mean, look at this very thread. Yes, many Sayu supporters, many onlookers, many Sauy detractors.) I don't really get how you can say that catalog threads are the echo chambers and not the generals. Yes, the generals are usually more polite and civil, but they're also more prone to agree with one another. In the catalog it's just quarreling 24/7 unless there's like 7 posts total because nobody can be bothered taking the bait.
