Splitting their site into two discrete universes seems antithetical to the site’s mission, but what do I know. This atomization of culture isn’t peculiar to gaming, by any means; it’s more or less the inevitable result of media proliferation. You can marinate in a broth of room-temperature consensus if you want to - you can consume only the kind of news that will uphold and verify your unassailable nobility, you can join or create a community that “gets it” and feel confident that you are surrounded on all sides by the evil and ignorant Hun.
