Lol I thought I'd see something like this here. This post needs to be updated.
I'm not fully familiar with the situation, but as I understand, r/worldpolitics had shitty moderation and people were posting essentially whatever they wanted. The mods said they weren't going to bother removing posts, so people started posting even more random shit in protest. The mods eventually stated that all posts were allowed as long as they weren't in violation of Reddit's policies. It became the "free speech" sub and eventually devolved into just porn.
Now the original political base of the subreddit based off and formed r/anime_titties. Which yes, is a SFW political sub, not a subreddit about titties.
It's the same situation as r/trees and r/marijuanaenthusiasts.
Edit: This all happened years ago btw, I believe back in 2020. This post here is like a decade old, funnily enough it still just shows up at the top of google results if you look up political subs.
