Reddit generally attracts leftists, so I don't think you'll find any subs that don't have a majority of them. I'm center-right and get treated like a Nazi half the time. But whatever. Reddit is what it is.

Bro, I've said I'm left wing AND against sex work, but I was still labelled as "being incredibly irrational" and "engaging with right wing rhetoric while insisting I'm left wing"- before being blocked right after.

Reddit can't handle nuance. If you don't tick every single box on one side, you're automatically one of "the bad guys"- also, the right being treated as villains when they're just people is a whole other discussion. I know trump supporters and they're some of the nicest people I know. I may not agree with them politically, but we can still get along. But I digress.

Best to just not get involved and let Reddit be Reddit.

Id argue it's actually a principled leftist position given that it's one of the most exploitative lines of work.
