Idk about that, I miss my niche podcast subreddits, it’s just one big quote-fest.
May I introduce you to !hellointernet@feddit.uk
TIL that the Beaver is a Tim!
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.
Did some searching and it seems like the pushback is because Games Workshop added female characters? Am I understanding that right?
Yeah, there were a group of male supersoldiers (custodes) who were literally written originally to be a “brotherhood” in the early lore from the 90s, and always represented that way. They changed it in a lore shitty way, essentially saying there were women custodes all along and never addressing the original lore
Some folks were like “yo, write consistently, and if you wanna change something, just change it with new lore” and some folks were like “” ahhh fuck women! They could never hack it as my favorite character!!!"
it literally doesn’t matter because these supersoldiers are works of science fiction, so removed from reality that they are hand built by techno gene craft. There’s nothing about the setting that would make such fiction impossible
The only time I enjoyed a toxic fan base was for the show Under the Dome. Everyone seemed to hate watch the show and it made the whole thing more fun. The toxicity had the benefit of not being about social issues and just about how the show wasn’t high quality writing.
Off the top of my head, one thing people hated is that the main character hurt her leg and wore the bandage over her jeans.
Man, I should rewatch that show.
I dont play Rust anymore but I still watch rust youtubers out of a morbid fascination of how they start out fun and wholesome, then they get tired and burned out, then they become the same angry, toxic sweaties they disliked in the first place.
Im pretty sure Rust has become a sentient tulpa demon that feeds on toxic rage.
Undertale is a great game.
…too bad about the fans.
I will not touch undertale or deltarune with a 10 foot rusty pole due to my exposure to collective fanbase before either game came out. I’m sure they are fine games in their own right but the community has just mentally ruined any desire I had for them long before I would have been able to get them and try them on my own.
I’m so glad I found Portal before I interacted with that community.
