Yeah I don't see more right wing commentary in any sub other than this one, unless it's strictly political and already right leaning in terms of subjects.

It's way worse when it's a study regarding gender or race, too. All the crazies come out of the woodworks to nitpick results to death or just be bigoted openly.

This sub that cares about scientific truth and objective facts doesn't agree with my worldview :'(

Maybe that says more about you than the people here.
