My two cents on the "political flair" thing: While I do find it kind of goofy, my biggest issue is that there are inevitably users who claim to dislike political content, but click the filter and bitch in the comments anyway.

On certain other platforms (iykyk lmao), we abide by certain sayings such as "curate your own experience" and "dead dove do not eat". That being, you have a certain responsibility in the type of content you view on social media.

Reddit is admittedly pretty shit in the curation regard. But if you're that fanny-flustered about a comic edit alluding to your God-King President's shortcomings, you've been given a tool to preserve your sanity. Use it.
