I can't even tell anymore if I've somehow become a bit more conservative, or if GAF has just shifted so far left (problematic, gross, toxic) that I only think I've become more conservative by comparison.
GAF has always been left. In the past, there were a couple token right wingers like APF and ToxicAdam.
The issue isn't so much moving to the left as a black and white straitjacketed approach to discussion. On the political compass site, I was -6/-6 in the PoliGAF "locus of awesome" but before I handed my account to Wrath, someone called me a prominent right winger. It was stupid and delusional for him to say that but in their black and white world, not agreeing with them 100% means I'm a Republican.
It isn't just with politics, it's everything. The bottom line is that GAF is incapable of having discussions; the only acceptable discourse is to register your outrage over a given topic or express delusional levels of positivity about an upcoming PS4 exclusive. Anything else and you risk getting dogpiled or banned.
That's why GAF is only worth making fun of, if you try to have an actual discussion on GAF
