I think this has less to do with the community and more to do with how supposed "humour" has evolved among edgy kids. Nowadays instead of idiotic L33T speak now we get a bunch of teens saying to kill yourself, random racism and other shit. Very political because it's seen as a sign of trolling.

It's mostly to do with the age of the internet and what is perceived as funny among kids whos entire existence is based off Twitter, Reddit etc.
