    I know about craftivism, but I didn’t know it had become so dominant.

    Apparently r/knitting has been fraught with politics the past few months.

    Years, actually. A friend complained about it to me in 2017 or so, saying the women in her knitting circle were increasingly mean and exclusionary, and she was scared to keep attending. It's a strange phenomenon.

    Mean to her because her politics didn’t align with theirs? Were her politics the kind that cause pain and suffering for others?

    Well if that isn't a loaded question, lmao.

    They weren't mean to her, not yet; she was just walking on eggshells every time as they were mean to others.
