It’s been taken off Wikipedia but there was a video a few years ago pointing out fox news only became profitable when they switched to the brown people bad and fear rhetoric. There was a theory name for it but it’s since been scrubbed from the internet. That’s the basis of conservativism.
There’s nothing in this conversation that you could even consider a strawman, yet, so I don’t know what you think that word means.
However, I must just assume you aren’t part of a minority community if you haven’t been affected by people constantly bitching about how some piece of media is too woke now because it had a woman/gay person/trans person/person of colour existing in the content. Yes, they are a vocal minority. But it is by no means uncommon to encounter them.
You may see substantially less of it on Lemmy since it is a predominantly left leaning space in general, and the left tends to be more accepting of non cishet white male presence
Funny because you are the first person I hear to say thing.

That’s a great thing! You’ve managed to avoid the torrent of awful people spouting those ideologies.
Sounds like a strawman…
It really isn’t. Companies absolutely love using it as an excuse for why their shit product sold like shit, but these people are absolutely out there.
Go spend 10 minutes on 4chan’s /v/ideogames board or /b/ - Random board for the most obvious and quick demonstration.
