There's quite a few of opinions that circulate near consistently on the internet and always garner the same responses (as if going by a pre approved script, whether based on real or imagined emotional responses from internet users).
If one is not confined to their screen they can notice in real life these discussions often play out differently and offer more diverse opinions than what the internet gives (especially in the past 10 years, with controlled google searches and suspiciously sounding A.I bots on >reddit/Youtube/4chan comment section). Of course, people who parrot the same internet-approved (as I would like to call them) views exist in real life but they're often the types to be constantly online or very familiar with internet culture, as opposed to someone who grew them "organically", so to speak.
Here are my unbiased observations of which opinions are pushed aggressively on the internet. Some astroturfed and some not.
New Age/Paganism/Spirituality/Alternate Religions
Atheism/Science Worship
Anti Christianity/Anti Abrahamic Religions
Feminism, especially of the Sexual Liberation Variants
Incel Led Misogyny, MRAs
Pornography Addiction/Sexual "Immorality" (furries, zoophiles, pedophiles, rape, ect)/certain sexual fetishes (traps/femboys, "mommy fetish", ect)
Evopsych theories/wannabe evopsych theorists supporting the previous points
LGBTQ+, chiefly Transgenderism, Transrights, and focus on (Male) Homosexuality//Identities and Pride Based on Sexuality
Nazi era / Eugenics inspired Racism
Extreme Pro Capitalism / Anti Communism
Extreme Pro Communism / Anti Capitalism
Extreme Political Views in General
(recent one) Defending Corporations
(recent one) Obsessive stanning of Pop Artists
Alt Left/SJWism
Alt Right
The most highly engaged (and very predictable) responses where it all tends to feel scripted are topics of Sex/Dating, Gender Differences, Sexuality, Religion, and Abortion Rights. For internet forums and websites, these opinions are either aggressively alt left or aggressively alt right, rarely any in betweens strangely enough. If a site seems more center or "balanced" it ends up going off the deep end relatively easily.
Another curious problem is when posters of a community get seemingly replaced overnight with posters of a completely different opinion that gets repeated word for word, constantly throughout the day, seen it happen with so many different communities (from politics, to dating sites, to video games) that hasn't really been common in any time period of the internet before 2015/2016
Either way, I would love to discuss this cause its been weighing on my mind for some time now and has me feeling really dissonant about the internet lately. Other opinions about this subject are encouraged!
