Perhaps my glasses are overly rosy. I do tend to be surprised and hurt by presumed leftists being bigots. It hasn't been my experience either with the podcast or the sub, but it's such a huge subreddit with such a huge base that I can't possibly speak to everyone's experience. I am sad to hear that others have experienced hate and bigotry there, and that does affect my opinion of it, so thanks for everyone who shared.

Come on, that's not a fair representation of what I said.

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. I wrote what I wrote originally because I haven't seen that stuff there. I have admitted that perhaps my outlook was naive or too optimistic, and that I'm sorry that others have not had the same experience, and that hearing of other's experiences has changed my view of that sub. That's not the same as if I don't see it, it isn't real.
