The ones that weren’t weird enough to be appalling to the mainstream were the ones that were heavily commercialized in the 2010s. Comic books, Nintendo, Studio Ghibli, that kind of stuff. What’s left to be isolated “fandoms” are the ones that were full of weird screwballs to begin with, like Paradox games, and since weird screwballs in these cohorts were extremely online, they were radicalized in the mid-late 2010s.
This, and I’m not a zoomer, I just didn’t break the state’s rules at and early enough age to know I could. And it just took me until all this to realize the societies are a fucking farce and their rules must be broken to escape from them. I blame Obama for making me feel like things could change. That, and going to a fucking Midwest college, all milquetoast and institutionalized.
