    the r*ddit fuckcars certainly took the name literally

    But it didn’t? It would regularly get people who are into their project cars or whatever come in and people would be quite friendly. Because the vast majority of that subreddit understood that the point of the movement is about systemic change and car culture, not about individual cars.

      Very anecdotal I know, but that certainly wasn’t my experience, I’d regularly see near-militant comments to anything even remotely suggesting cars had a place, as well as outright trolling or brigading of other subs. If I was just unlucky that’s cool, but it did seem pretty consistent.

        That tends to be pushback against anyone saying their specific use case requires a car, rather than saying nobody should be allowed to like cars as a hobby.
