>Like, I would play Tetris for hours per day across multiple days, and I would end up just thinking about it while playing. I don't want to think about it. This "living in your mind rent free" has gotta stop. So, like talk therapy, perhaps posting about it will help. I suppose I am ready to exude thoughts about it, reply and read whatever, for I have the time to do that.
>My bias: I don't like Wanderbots; I don't like his ideas and attitudes towards various things, and I don't like his politics. He goes on about how "content creators" and video game livestreamers should talk about social issues. Of course he would say that. He's in the camp that social justice warrior invading the gaming space years ago is and was a good thing.
>A more extreme version of him, or maybe he'll end up this way: the Postmodern philosopher. The Postmodern philosophy professor is apparently supposed to spend all day "teaching" his students about all the "woes" of identity politics in recent times. Instead of actually teaching philosophy. The only sin on the left is not being left enough
Here is my thoughts on this: First thing of advice and most obvious: avoid these people. Watching them and being annoyed by their stances is not the same thing of them going after you and it certainly would free up mental headspace. Though with that said...

I get it. It is not just this festering in your head for no reason. It is a crescendo, a never ending whine that would stop. Depending on your field, interest, from IRL situation to fandom, you might encounter this in some form everyday whether you like it or not. Even in it's more milder form you develop this expectation of pure hostility and can have a paranoid complex from it all. No subtext and subtly and all demanding without a ounce of persuasiveness makes it all quite... sickening at times to see. Especially when you see someone get attacked unjustly and dog piled on. In this case my advice shifts from mere avoidance to sticking with positive things that give meaning (or at least a pleasant distraction) and keeping your mind from being ruled by politics (either from their domination of you, or you being an insane /pol/tard who has lost complete touch with reality from the reaction of it).

Discernment in your threat receptors anyway. Social justice maybe cancer but it is as much a in vogue as a way of speaking and how people have been taught to speak (at least in the Anglosphere) . Not everyone who speaks with hints of that necessarily is acting from a crazed sense of self-righteous malice and discerning between between people who live for it and those who are just raised with it can matter. Like say, X youtuber 1 would cancel me in a heartbeat, not watching him, X youtuber 2 just sometimes hints at it and sometimes has expressed discomfort with certain aspects of this as well and I still enjoy some of the stuff he puts out. This also can apply to IRL people, and worse still, fighting amidst a power struggle... I hope I don't come across as too "tactical minded." In truth, humanity and society are quite complicated and I feel that a lot of people showed just as little as 5% more nuance wouldn't have the polarization (at least that we see in the States today, I know Europe and elsewhere can be more mixed on how badly they are at each others throats).
