Edit: I’m not saying anything negative about the female side here, just the male one

On one hand, you have fanfics, kpop Stans, fandoms, Sanrio, etc.

On the other you have literally 4chan, literally reddit, circle jerks about muh superior white music genres like metal, modern rock, and being “cultured” by liking suffering porn with socially conscious hip hop, Roman history, WWII history, military obsession, geopolitics obsession, gamer shit with n-words and Japan stuff, some weird shit with obsessing over your body/facial features to be the perfect Eurocentric ideal, etc.

Also shout-outs to pro incest and pedo anime culture

In the words of a friend who agrees: White men just cannot be trusted to be left alone together on the Internet

    I’m so used to the horrible male dominated side, but honestly I find the consumerist obsessed one incredibly grating. I can’t stand the tone and the completely unquestioning way that people will just spend ridiculous amounts of money on meaningless garbage (swifties and kpop stans especially, literally donating their money to people that are already unimaginably wealthy just so they chart better).

    But that consumerist stuff also happens on the male dominated side too, any kind of space that attracts collectors and rich lonely dudes also has that behavior.

    Can you expand on how white dudes interact with socially conscious hip hop? I feel like that type of person intersects more with hipster lib internet spaces rather than fascist internet spaces, usually there’s less overlaps with gaming (general gaming at least). I think there still totally are a lot of weird behaviors in that crowd though, and they’re often just as bad as the ones with no self awareness.

    Sidenote: Gen Z slang, or just the way chronically online people talk, is sometimes ridiculous and my personal pet peeve. “The existential horror of,” “and that’s just so important to me,” “and I-,” etc. I am not trying to say that the way my generation talks is dumb, I use a lot of the slang all the time and I have no issue with language evolving. But all those phrases add absolutely nothing to the messages they’re attached to, and have just become the new version of millenials saying “adulting” or “heckin chonker.”
