Thinking about all those youtubers and streamers who generally stayed nonpolitical as not to alienate anyone but who absolutely could not handle it when that hogwarts game came out and their progressive audiences were telling them to maybe not play/review that one and they’d throw a fat tantrum like “no you don’t get it it’s my job this is the biggest game of the year I can’t not play it” and now we’re a few months along and fucking nobody is talking about it anymore cause it wasn’t even good. Was it worth it
Oh yeah the vtubers especially, some shit went down there. A few big ones acted like they were being cancelled for playing the game and you saw their fans go full mask off fascist about it
fascists hang around every community ready and willing to make it fascist. the more outwardly apolitical the more fascists are waiting for their moment to firmly politicize the community. Just ask HEMA
Real. This is why I only interact with vtubers who are aggressively left wing. It keeps the vermin out
Tumblr really has ruined me. I was in a Rite-Aid and “out of touch” came on over the speakers, and I freaked out a bit because I thought I had missed my thursday morning meeting. It took me a minute before I remembered that Out of Touch playing does not always mean its thursday. sometimes people just play the song.
