History YMMV / AlternateHistoryDotCom

* FandomRivalry: A mostly one-sided example that has sprung up around the 2020s with Sandbox/SufficientVelocityDotCom in part due to the extremely hard left perspectives dominating the latter site. While most AH.com users do not particularly care about that website, it is not uncommon on the otherhand to see extreme dismissal of AH.com on [=SV=] due to the mostly center-leaning politics of the site and the existence of [[ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch certain timelines seen by SV users to be promoting far-right sentiments]].

** Both of the timelines(''Literature/TheFootprintOfMussolini'' and ''Literature/TheDeathOfRussia'') by board member Sorairo are very polarizing among readers of the site. On one hand one group of readers like the interesting themes and worldbuilding established by both timelines as well some of the [[CrapsackWorld bleak]] premises explored in both timelines. On the other hand, another group of readers despise both timelines for gratuitous mass death, seeming extreme pro-western/pro-Atlanticist[[note]]In the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlanticism sense]] of ideologically supporting NATO and any geopolitical power blocs led by Western Europe and the United States, not in the Duginite sense[[/note]] political biases to the point of downplaying the horrors of colonialism, the depiction of Russia as falling under the control of genocidal regimes in both leading to allegations of demonizing Russians in general, overuse of controversial Cold War talking points[[note]]specifically the infamous "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_genocide_theory Double Genocide]]" theory and the depiction of Henry Wallace as hopelessly pro-Soviet despite Stalin's atrocities[[/note]], and in the context of ''Footprint of Mussolini'', perceived excess sympathy for Italian Fascism and other far-right ideologies.
** On the left end of the spectrum, the timeline ''Literature/RedsARevolutionaryTimeline'' has fallen under much more scrutiny in recent years despite being very popular in the earlier days of the site, particularly among non-leftist readers. On one end, the timeline's fans enjoy the timeline for being one of the first major alternate history depictions of a socialist America that did not degenerate into totalitarianism as well as a positive depiction of socialism in general compared to most media in spite of the prevalence of anti-socialist Cold War tropes in society. On the other end, the timeline's detractors believe that, all discussions of the viability of socialism aside, more modern timelines featuring a non-authoritarian/non-totalitarian socialist America handles the [[SeinfeldIsUnfunny premise much better]] and with more nuance, whereas ''Reds'' can come off as excessively sectarian and preachy of the positives of socialism to the point of extreme ideological wish fulfillment.
