Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

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.
Uhmmm, I was a weird extremely online brony screwball and I was radicalized in the early 2020s thankyouverymuch
Zoomer
I didnt get my radicalization until 2018. But i was a Paradox Interactive lib right up until then.
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.
