Now it's so mainstream that **this** is happening

If being on the internet for this long, especially in the age of genai, has taught me anything it's that:
Cringe culture is bad but sometimes you need shame
Gatekeeping can be bad but it's also necessary to some small degree to maintain healthy community

There are A LOT of anime fans in the military. It was only a matter of time before the recruiters caught up to the vtuber trend.

Remember when having a psyop boy band was so far fetched people thought it was a below average Simpsons plot.

Someone figured out how to get a pretty nice PC set up and have the Gov pay for it and get out of doing their actual job.

There were tons of problems before, but after the major anime subreddit had a schism over the banning of a transphobic slur, I realized that anime fandom was already completely unsalvageable

what in the world?

almost every active, retired, and honorably discharged on disability vtuber I know only has that an aside or if it comes up in stream/they mention it off stream on discord or something.

*none* of them make it a personality trait or part of their lore. is this a new fad?

(i feel like vtubers are too weird for even our current administration to try and co-op for propaganda).

We have got to do a better job of controlling our ecosystems against invasive predators like recruiters.

God, it reminds me of when Russia invaded Crimea like 12 years ago and people were making Russia's appointed Prosecutor at the time into a "waifu"

I remember being like "wtf is wrong with you people"

Especially Mega Man Fans on Prom Night.

This is very Alia the Navigator coded ad we need to bully Mega Man Fans on Prom Night by reminding them that they played a role in all of this during GamerGate 2014.
