@ElDeadKennedy@Rasterman@jeffcliff@kerosene that's very similar to bicyclette. I don't think the word bicycle was meant for them, but we use it anyways. No idea where Vélo came from
@Rasterman There's always plenty of retards to go around, but to deny the satanic panic...
Hell, it survived until the early 00s. I recall news reports of priest going around about Pokemon and Harry Potter being satanic. There's probably some poor kids who couldn't play/read/watch the movie of these because of that. I'd argue the late 90s/early 00s soccer mom stuff and at the end of it, the end of the Jack Thompson crusade, probably were the last vestige of it
@DailyStormerDigest@Rasterman I dunno, depends on the extent of it, and I wonder if those "corrupted" wouldn't have ended up doing other shitty things anyways
But D&D, Pokemon and Harry Potter and violent video games to a certain extent (Although, the "I play M rated games because I'm a mature boy" era really was fucking shit) really truly weren't it
I'd argue being a kid during the "edgy" 90s/00s era was fucking fantastic, but alas
@GrungeQueef@Rasterman@DailyStormerDigest As far as I'm aware, everything that Tumblr "became" was already all present on Livejournal. The real question is: What exactly caused it to go nuclear? Well, considering the recent revelations about USAid, it's probably a whole lot of shitty NGOs and astroturfing suddenly getting loads and loads of money
Here's the big irony: A lot of these people constantly complaining about ecchi, sexual depictions, muh male gaze, well, the worst of them all fucked off to Twitter when the porn ban came temporarily on Tumblr. Real fucking strange isn't it?
@GrungeQueef@Rasterman@DailyStormerDigest Apparently Elon is preparing a super bowl ad showing all the grifts found on USAid, this is pretty brilliant, they seem to be one upping the news network in general. The shitlibs aren't that numerous, they're just loud and has shitty money behind it
Otherwise, I've argued about that somewhere else, a commenter said they're worried that them attacking, let's say, pronouns and stuff would make it "cool" again because it's "anti-establishment" again as they're outright mandating them out of the government
However, IMO, they being mandated in the government in the first place was ultimately the ultimate "consent" to shove it everywhere else, so I dunno about that. There just simply had to be something done, and showing the money and the grifts behind all of that is a really good start
