I guess this is the first thing I upvoted here
I first started posting on Reddit when Gamergate began- I was disturbed by how many young men online suddenly started espousing rightwing, trad or just straight up Nazi shit seemingly overnight (though to be fair, if you looked at gamer or nerd culture even before GG, the warning signs were already there.)
I ended up on anti-Gamergate places on Reddit and hung around to track the movement and to partake in communal dunking on their “thought” leaders. This was the time I first stumbled upon people like hbomberguy. Skip forward a couple of years, and Gamergate starts to wane, largely replaced by Trump’s presidential campaign and the newly named alt-right as the main topic of discussion, the latter featuring many famous Gamergate people among its figureheads.
I didn’t really pay attention to the DNC primary or Bernie’s first campaign and I just assumed Hillary was going to get the nomination. At the time, I wasn’t too concerned with leftist politics and and was just more generally opposed to right-wingers, conservative culture war shit, racism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia. Still, I found myself not fully fitting in with the posters on anti-Gamergate, anti-Trump and other liberal spaces on Reddit.
I first stumbled on cth from the Other Discussions tab on popular news stories, but was initially put off by all the anti-Hillary and anti-Democrat stuff as well as the abrasive language- I couldn’t fit it into my liberal vs. conservative paradigm so chapo posters sounded dangerously close to 4chan guys or the_donald posters to me. I still continued to check discussions on cth, though, finding myself aligning more and more with the chapo mindset as time went on, and some time in January 2017 I just finally got fed up with Russiagate nonsense and limp-dicked #Resistance bullshit on liberal subreddits and swore them off forever. In the past two years, I’ve even started listening to the pod
I prefer the bosses of 3 to the girls in 4
Ugh, don’t remind me. While the first 3 MGS games had all had all kinds of goofy sex stuff that I mostly didn’t have a problem with, MGS4’s tone in general just felt really off to me somehow and I just found the bosses and their photoshoot minigame a bit too weird and creepy
Kikkoman is the soy sauce of kings. and who remembers the ancient Japanese Kikkoman flash animation?
Engels invented both the anime artstyle and hentai at the same time??? what the fuck
No need for recruiters when your country has mandatory military service. They still need the feel for ads, though
Finland- we’ve got forced conscription for men, though you can also opt for civilian service, which typically lasts longer (12 months vs 6, 9 or 12 months.) Alternatively, you won’t need to do either if you have some sort of mental or physical health condition that prevents military service, which worked out brilliantly for me
