It isn't that bad in the comment sections of German newspapers, where people are more open to diverse opinions. If a center right newspaper like "Die Welt" or "Focus" writes an anti Russian article, you can easily have 80% of 1000 comments demanding peace negotiations and ending the whole business. And they are real comments, because the German is so idiomatic with regional dialects that it would be hard to fake even for an AI.

Also in the Financial Times the comments sections can be split 50/50.

By the way, the excessive use of the "Russian hacker" meme has been a source of amusement in the German hacker scene even before 2022.
