ML has always been fairly tame*, the problem is liberal programming has made them react violently to anything that threatens the status quo, and ml users tend to offer critical support of distasteful people and regimes.
The way neo/libs are reacting to this topic is the same as they react to anyone questioning why zelensky is now one of the wealthiest people in the region.
Edit* compared to the grad or hexbear or some unspeakable instances.

I don't get it, if they dropped the cult of personality bullshit they could enter mainstream. They can't honestly as adult people be larping some dead genocide daddy. I am mean I guess all countries look to "their leaders", some people think Kissenger did nothing wrong. So i can see it as reactionary to that but we are trying to operate at higher level here tbh.
