I hope the things you like get mistaken in the news as white supremacist-related, then nazis all pile on until nobody can enjoy it any more.
This is just cruel

It’s usually the other way around. The nazis slowly corrupt a community that consists mostly of one of their target groups, pushing out people who are aware of their dogwhistles because, well, they’re clearly nazis, and is not going to recognize that or listen to you, as they wouldn’t make a good target group otherwise.
Then, if they succeed, at some point it gets bad enough that the media notices, after which the nazis go “look at the silly liberals, thinking everyone is racist these days” and get a lot more open, thereby pushing out the last few people who were initially oblivious to there fascism, or forcing them to endure fascist rethoric to enjoy their hobby’s community.

K-On is one of my favorite guilty pleasure shows, and for some reason saying that now makes people suspect I’m a Nazi.
I ain’t letting them have this one. It’s a stupid show about high schoolers drinking tea and playing music, dammit.
Caboose12000@lemmy.world 1 year ago
wtf what is the relation between k-on and nazis??
Cicraft@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Aren’t the main characters gay coated in that show?
emergencyfood@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Bocchi is still safe. And has a lot of K-On! references. Just saying.

I don’t think that’s actually happened a lot, the worst that happens is the specific parts of the fandom that fall to the nazis end up quarantined
Warhammer, D&D, MLP, and Punk/Skinhead stuff come to mind

Happens to me all the time with music. Be jamming out to a song I’ve loved for years, right when my fav. artist dropped the album. Then tiktok plays the one hook from one song on their album and people always ask “Oh! Did you hear that on tikTok?!” … No…no…no 🙄
chiliedogg@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Oh, no
Oh, no
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
TommySalami@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That has happened to me so much in recent years, both with clipped songs and bands/artists I like becoming popular. I don’t hold myself with any music pretention, and the vast majority of my “underground” discoveries are just random chance and Spotify algorithm. There is no way I have found to explain “no, I’ve been listening to them since [insert album]” that hasn’t been met with some form of hipster comment.

Oh wait you said not be met with a hipster comment
themeatbridge@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Maybe you don’t have to tell people anything at all about how you discovered good music?
“Oh, did you hear about them on TikTok?”
What?
“TikTok. You probably heard that song on TikTok.”
Oh ok. I really like their new album. I also enjoy [insert other music you like].
“Yeah, I heard it on TikTok. I really love the 20 version I’ve heard replayed thousands of times.”
Cool. Have a good day.

And why does that impact your enjoyment? Did the song change? Did your ears change?
It sounds like you care too much about the opinions and experiences of others.

Back in the 90s, saying the earth was flat meant you were open to talking through hypothetical science and creating wild theories. You knew the truth, but you never wanted to break kafabe. The sheer sillyness was part of the fun.
Today, saying the earth is flat means youre a flat out moron who lacks other critical thinking skills. It’s a warning sign that you also have other troubling thoughts.

See, this is what I thought we were doing back then too, but I’ve got a different hypothesis. I believe many of the people we were talking to back then actually really did believe it. I don’t think people were any more level-headed back then than they are now – we just assumed they were joking because that’s what we were doing.

My friend flipped when the first ever acknowledgement of Mistborn outside it’s own books was Kelsier as a guest character in Fortnite. It was like targeted harassment. I like Mistborn too but it didn’t bother me.

Holy shit I think I blocked this one from my memory. Seriously, now big could the overlap between mistborn fans and fortnite players possibly be?
TheActualDevil@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It’s because the author is friends with one of the lead guys over at Epic in charge of the game. They cycle through so many characters that they just start asking their friends for ideas I guess.
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 year ago
I remember when gaming and D&D were niche interests. They got popular, and now look at them. 😩
AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
You can actually find a group that manages to play with some regularity?
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 1 year ago
No, that’s still an issue somehow 🤷🏻♂️

Really? For me it’s exactly the same as before critroll. “Anyone want to play? Sure I’ll DM. See y’all this weekend!”
Merwyn@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
For gaming I see your point, it looks like everything as to be a money grab nowaday which greatly reduce the quality of a lot of games.
For ttrpg I don’t feel like it though. Sure Wizard of the Coast/Hasbro has gone to shit but I left the D&D train a long time ago already. And the amount of other very good and accessible system is amazing. IMO The only thing “bad” that this new popularity bring is players with wrong expectations. Some expect every games and every DM to be of the same quality as Critical Roll or other well known podcast, some exept to find “video games” mechanic like in baldur’s gate, some are trying to force the meme stuff inside the game, ect.
TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I know it’s disgusting, there’s D&D groups all over my town now, I can’t even play all the games that are accessible to me. discusting i say!

GOTO Hell isn’t correct and will lead to a syntax error
20 GOTO 4311 is technically correct but you’re actually going to hell for writing your script this way.

WillFord27@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Unfortunately, everyone still thinks of Lost as the show with a bad ending. Even though it’s completely misinterpreted.
systemglitch@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It was the worst ending of any show I’ve ever seen. If it is misinterpreted by the masses, then it was clearly done with incompetence.
WillFord27@lemmy.world 11 months ago
By any chance, did you watch it when it first came out? Lost was made to be binge watched in an era of television before that was commonplace. It holds up much better if you can watch an episode every few days, instead of once a week.

I’m glad that the only gacha that entered normie sphere was Genshin, with all the negative attention it got I wonder how people would react to second job ones like Fate GO and Granblue.
It’s great that Blue Archive is impenetrable.KuroiKaze@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I think Grand blue is fairly well known in the US because of their expansion into other game types. Plus the anime. The fighting game is marvelous.

It might be mildly annoying, I give you that, but throwing a tantrum about people enjoying the same stuff as you but “not enough” or “the wrong way” is super immature and petty.
It’s exactly this mindset that started the bullshit wars regarding cultural appropriation.
Supermariofan67@programming.dev 11 months ago
The problem primarily is when a niche interest becomes exploited for profit by capitalists and no longer maintains the community-oriented culture it once had.
It will lose aspects of it that make it unique and special but they don’t appeal to the general public, because ultimately making as much profit as possible means attracting as many customers as possible.
TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 11 months ago
… what niche interest is this person talking about? … is it Star Trek? I’m not sure that makes sense
Vespair@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Except this is all predicated on caring about other people’s opinions on your interests, which is foolish to begin with.
If you like something, like it because you like it. Let however other people process the thing be how they process it; it doesn’t have to have any impact on how you process it.
