Culture War Roundup for the week of October 5, 2026

This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.

Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.

We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:

  • Shaming.

  • Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.

  • Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.

  • Recruiting for a cause.

  • Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.

In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:

  • Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.

  • Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.

  • Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.

  • Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.

On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Ok I read the first story linked. I am confused but how is this RW? Race-mixing is bad and should be avoided especially when the pure-blood is female and not the pure-blood colonizer boy mixing with muggle female variety. AOC being infatuated with Elon Musk is RW fan-fic.

Honestly these stories seem very LW coded to me. This is very LW coded that the person on the right can’t help but fall in love with the other because they are like “good and funny and virtuous or something”:

“Malfoid was brought up from birth to hate everything about Harry, but despite everything in her corner of society pushing her to despise him and see Harry as a foe, she can't help but love him because he represents something her side of the wizarding world could never show her; honest love and a relationship not based on how useful someone is - which was one of the core themes of the books anyway.”

The only thing a little similar on the right is Vance and Usha. But in that case we are marrying off our lowest class pure blood to an elite foreigner of money and ability. Still Male taking female.

RW Potter fanfic is like Voldemort winning.

There are elements present that the left generally distances itself from. The unapologetic appeal to a male fantasy. Malfoid just being a girl with conflicting feelings, with no attempt at female empowerment. That the boys are different from the girls on a fundamental, possibly biological level. A boy acting like Malfoid would be ridiculed (or at least a very different character), but she gets away with it because she is a girl.

It is rightwing in the sense that it does not attempt to be part of the leftwing political movement. Although personally, I would not ascribe it to any ideology in particular. The broad appeal indicates that people like it regardless of their political leanings.

I am confused but how is this RW?

It portrays a woman loving a man.

The RW believes woman are capable of love?

Correct.

I think the right believes women need strong limitations on sexual rights and cultural traditions preventing let’s call it sluttiness or their love will end up being temporary. Basically need to do something like putting them in a burka.

Tom Brady getting dumped would seem to be the leading brand of this belief.

So I do not think it’s a RW belief that women are capable of love.

Honestly I can’t tell if this entire post is sarcasm.

HP in a RW fanfic wouldn’t asks out a girl because “he lost a bet”. He would asks to the dance the girl he wanted to asks to the dance because he’s aggressive and pursues what he wants to pursue.

I'm lost... Let's pretend your portrayal of rightwing beliefs is accurate, how does it show they believe that women are not capable of love? Does saying "it's a bad idea to put a married guy to inside a harem for a night" mean I believe men are incapable of love?

Honestly I can’t tell if this entire post is sarcasm.

It's 100% sincere, and I think it's plainly visible that the more progressive our sexual mores have become, the less anyone talks about love, and we now got to the point where BlueSky is having meltdowns over fanfics where a girl falls in love with a boy.

That's silly. Right wingers don't believe all males are at all times manly men manily doing manly things, or even that they should strive for that.

RW Potter fanfic is like Voldemort winning.

No, Voldemort was a degenerate obsessed with his own personal immortality; he was just using the mudblood stuff to get support (though when he was just half-blood Tom Riddle he believed it)

The only thing we actually see harm pureblood families is association with Voldemort. The ones that go extinct are because of him, he preserves nothing.

It's almost too on the nose that, as his enemies start to finally get a bead on how to kill him, Voldemort becomes occupied taking pleasure in bullying the aristocratic Malfoys and putting their only living heir in mortal danger.

What is this place?

This website is a place for people who want to move past shady thinking and test their ideas in a court of people who don't all share the same biases. Our goal is to optimize for light, not heat; this is a group effort, and all commentators are asked to do their part.

The weekly Culture War threads host the most controversial topics and are the most visible aspect of The Motte. However, many other topics are appropriate here. We encourage people to post anything related to science, politics, or philosophy; if in doubt, post!

Check out The Vault for an archive of old quality posts. You are encouraged to crosspost these elsewhere.


Why are you called The Motte?

A motte is a stone keep on a raised earthwork common in early medieval fortifications. More pertinently, it's an element in a rhetorical move called a "Motte-and-Bailey", originally identified by philosopher Nicholas Shackel. It describes the tendency in discourse for people to move from a controversial but high value claim to a defensible but less exciting one upon any resistance to the former. He likens this to the medieval fortification, where a desirable land (the bailey) is abandoned when in danger for the more easily defended motte. In Shackel's words, "The Motte represents the defensible but undesired propositions to which one retreats when hard pressed."

On The Motte, always attempt to remain inside your defensible territory, even if you are not being pressed.


New post guidelines

If you're posting something that isn't related to the culture war, we encourage you to post a thread for it. A submission statement is highly appreciated, but isn't necessary for text posts or links to largely-text posts such as blogs or news articles; if we're unsure of the value of your post, we might remove it until you add a submission statement. A submission statement is required for non-text sources (videos, podcasts, images).

Culture war posts go in the culture war thread; all links must either include a submission statement or significant commentary. Bare links without those will be removed.

If in doubt, please post it!
