So is it called Stupid Pol because they're acting like idiots. Please tell me they're just acting, but only if it's true.

"Stupidpol" is a portmantau of "Stupid" and "Identity politics". The idea is that r/stupidpol critising "wokeness" from a leftwing perspective. They are not ironic.

Transphobia and other bigotries are officially banned, but whenever you make a space specifically for "VAR but not woke" dodgy comment sections are kinda inevitable and VAR, whatever VAR is, is less of a focus.

That certainly explains it.

Both the active transphobia and why there is another stupid pol post that tries to say that the movie Sinners is racist against white people.

Personally , I think that attacking woke from a left wing perspective is complete foolishness. How the hell are you going to be a progressive but disagree with the concept of civil rights?
