It's usually the other way around. The nazis slowly corrupt a community that consists mostly of one of their target groups, pushing out people who are aware of their dogwhistles because, well, they're clearly nazis, and is not going to recognize that or listen to you, as they wouldn't make a good target group otherwise.

Then, if they succeed, at some point it gets bad enough that the media notices, after which the nazis go "look at the silly liberals, thinking everyone is racist these days" and get a lot more open, thereby pushing out the last few people who were initially oblivious to there fascism, or forcing them to endure fascist rethoric to enjoy their hobby's community.

K-On is one of my favorite guilty pleasure shows, and for some reason saying that now makes people suspect I'm a Nazi.

I ain't letting them have this one. It's a stupid show about high schoolers drinking tea and playing music, dammit.

Oh, no

Oh, no

Oh, no, no, no, no, no

That has happened to me so much in recent years, both with clipped songs and bands/artists I like becoming popular. I don't hold myself with any music pretention, and the vast majority of my "underground" discoveries are just random chance and Spotify algorithm. There is no way I have found to explain "no, I've been listening to them since [insert album]" that hasn't been met with some form of hipster comment.

Just have your favorite band not release a new album for a decade. cries in streetlight manifesto

Flat earth was so much fun until all of them got roped into Q.

Back in the 90s, saying the earth was flat meant you were open to talking through hypothetical science and creating wild theories. You knew the truth, but you never wanted to break kafabe. The sheer sillyness was part of the fun.

See, this is what I thought we were doing back then too, but I've got a different hypothesis. I believe many of the people we were talking to back then actually really did believe it. I don't think people were any more level-headed back then than they are now -- we just assumed they were joking because that's what we were doing.

Holy shit I think I blocked this one from my memory. Seriously, now big could the overlap between mistborn fans and fortnite players possibly be?

You can actually find a group that manages to play with some regularity?

Really? For me it's exactly the same as before critroll. "Anyone want to play? Sure I'll DM. See y'all this weekend!"

For gaming I see your point, it looks like everything as to be a money grab nowaday which greatly reduce the quality of a lot of games.

For ttrpg I don't feel like it though. Sure Wizard of the Coast/Hasbro has gone to shit but I left the D&D train a long time ago already. And the amount of other very good and accessible system is amazing. IMO The only thing "bad" that this new popularity bring is players with wrong expectations. Some expect every games and every DM to be of the same quality as Critical Roll or other well known podcast, some exept to find "video games" mechanic like in baldur's gate, some are trying to force the meme stuff inside the game, ect.

They did. I just ignore funko pops
