Maybe this is the trap that people fall into... Often we ask "what happened to X they seem to have gone off the deep end", maybe it's when someone stops always asking themselves "am I right about this, maybe there's something I'm not considering" and starts asking everyone else around them "am I right about this?" and believing them when a big number says "yes".

And that's sort of the hilarious thing about the entire IDW ecosystem. They were the very thing they railed against (if you believe they were ever sincere). It became this closed feedback loop/echo chamber of dudes patting themselves on the back because they all came from "various" ends of the political spectrum, but refusing to recognize that they were all just repeating the same anti-identity politics/cancel culture rhetoric.
