What happened to letsrun

A poor attempt to coverup your woke no joke sensibility. The only thing that happened in the last decade is the commie lefty mind control police now have infected a big swath of once free thinking Americans.

Let’s Go Brandon!!!

Where did you come from then? You weren’t spewing this nonsense back in the day.

You felt emboldened to adopt this weird political persona in the last couple of years and begin posting here regularly as part of the ‘cause’. Whether you see it or not, you are a part of a new movement.

Trans people have always existed. The only thing absurd is the fact that it's still perfectly acceptable to deny their mere existence. People literally think boys are willing to risk their friends, family, and well being to win a high school race...what an embarrassingly moronic thing to believe.

Stupidest argument ever. Nobody is saying that they're doing it just to win. I'm sympathetic to trans people, but the old argument of "no one would ever choose to ____ because they'd face rejection and ridicule" is among the stupidest arguments. By that logic, no one would ever choose to do anything unacceptable and no one should be held accountable for anything.

As for the original thread title, nothing has changed. I've been hanging out here 10 years, longer than some, less than others, and it's always been about the same as it is now.

This is the answer. You can easily not click the obvious political threads. You do this to yourself. You invite the trolls into your head and complain about reading it. What were you expecting?

Very rarely is a running thread hijacked to be political. Unless of course the runner is a woman, a trans, or someone who posts here.

Anti-trans? 10 years ago, no sane person thought that men could become women and play girl's sports. There wouldn't be threads on it, because it would be absurd to even consider it.

You have a point, but this is not really accurate. Caster Semenya won her first WC gold over 12 years ago. We were talking about trans athletes at that point.

Time flies.

Let’s be real though, most people here seem to assume everyone else is a straight white dude, so even the “pure running” threads get messed up by posters assuming someone is among that demographic. This in part reflects some of the toxic nature of LRC as a whole.

I've taken 10 years off from running. I have gotten back into it, and decided to come here and see all that I've missed.

Apparently a lot. This site used to have pretty good running threads, and the non running threads were typical entertaining.

This site now is full of right wing nut jobs who, at best, think steven crowder is mildly racist, and at worst, full blown nazis. Just going down the message board it's nothing but anti vax, anti mask, anti Trans, anti immigrants, anti decent human being. It's embarrassing.

This is a gateway website to qanon.

Worst troll attempt on letsrun in the last 10 years.

Congratulations.

LRC is the Quiznos of running sites. A formerly great franchise that has slipped due to poor business decisions, going down market, cutting quality, allowing fringe dwellers and weirdos to dominate its public face, and it has caused a suicide in Sothern California. What was once a respected empire is now a greatly diminished business seeking its lost relevance while other running sites grow in market share and influence.

What other running sites grow in market share and influence?

LRC is the facebook of running sites. Toxic all the way but nobody can escape it.

Ive been here since the very first day of LR. It was a font of information and the conversations were largely on topic and it was the only real resource for running online at the time.

Its been completely hijacked by right wing losers and complete trolls, with tacit approval from the Brojos who think this is really what people talk about as they go on group runs.

Sure, if you run with Nazis.

Its become the 4Chan of running.
