    This is why I don’t mind the cult of woke invading warhammer. Hopefully it scares away some of the actual Nazis because I just love painting minis and can’t wait for the Misters of Battle DEI edition to drop.

    I like watching Rick and Morty.

    I have exactly 0 accessories, paraphernalia, or otherwise branded items in my possession that indicate that.

    I feel fairly confident that most people here are aware of how childish, arrogant, and honestly just downright insufferable Rick and morty “fans” can be.

    It seems like every time it comes up in conversation, and the other person is a fan, they immediately seem to launch into a tirade about how modern shows are all crap because they’re stupid, not like THIS show. It’s like the “you have to have a high IQ” meme just became the unironic norm for a lot of people.

    It’s usually fart jokes and lowest common denominator humor dressed up in Sci fi tropes. You aren’t special for understanding highschool introductory phycisal science.

    Futurama is arguably the same kind of show, but they know exactly what they are, and the writers actually have well educated backgrounds to make the science stuff a bit less… “VX nozzle on the turboencabulator”-esque

    Yeah I ran I to this with Critical Roll. Super toxic, super vocal minority of fans that made nuanced critical discussions of the show almost impossible. I don’t think it’s the show’s fault. Rabid fans make for rabid community moderators.

    It’s probably a symptom of how fucked our society is. Or it’s just the internet.

      Srsly Wrong’s latest podcast talked a lot about how oil companies funded grassroots pro oil campaigns and then linked it to our larger culture and how we can’t trust anyone anymore.

      I never thought I’d be able to say not trusting each other is big oils fault, but here we are

    Berserk is my favorite thing of all time. I own every volume up to 21, and 31 to 41. I make all of my first time playthroughs of souls games as a Guts-like character. I own a berserk sweatshirt, and a berserk t-shirt. Im as big of a fan as you can probably get. But man, there are some whackjob right wing psychos in that community. Most fans are fine, and you can have a normal conversation with most, but Berserk has a bad habit to draw weirdos to itself.

    Sound advice. I’ll be sure not to cause self-harm by learning anything about the other people who listen to my cherished podcasts.

    They don’t have that stigma anymore I think, but this is me with Kingdom Hearts, played everything but 3 and never interacted with the fanbase.
