The TESCREAL bundle: Eugenics and the promise of utopia through artificial general intelligence
A new pokemon game for switch/switch2 came out (Pokemon Legends Z-A)
Lots of gamergate smell wafting around gamer reddit, particularly around conspiracy theories regarding reviews. Dudes being compleyely unhinged that it isn't whatever version they played when they were 10 years old but with AAA graphics. Real normal stuff to reply about 100x in a day.
It could just be me being defensive about a thing my kids like lol.
It's just that my intuition nudges me when I come across that variety of authoritarian confidently incorrect guy who can't imagine people liking things that they dont like (or vice versa), and who will move worlds to enforce their one true take. It feels like they're everywhere, fueling most dumb internet social movements. It's like it could be a small piece of a General Theory of Weird Online Assholes.
The phenomenon rhymes with Musk Reply Guys, Music Experts Who Hate Taylor Swift Professionally, Claude Code Evangelists, and Star Wars Fandom.
