@gmoult My grandma grew up in a really Irish part of New Brunswick. She and her siblings would say random words that nobody else said when I was a kid. I later figured out they were Irish Gaelic words that never left their vocabulary despite being here since like 1810

@TheAlexSylvian Fantasy is nazism. Science fiction is Italian fascism. Modern day internet psychos are way more into the bland and sterile harkening back of nazism than the futurism of Italian Fascists.

@iswingabitmore @RobertSecundus It's cause 90% of the politics of most people who watch dropout is based on YouTube video essays about tv shows and movies and the rest is Brennan Lee Mulligan talking about how bad billionaires are. They don't gaf about the cold war cause there aren't many video essays on it

@serenityposting @W_B_Rick Also dude there are fujos about figure skating, Yuri on ice was fucking huuuuge

[Wimblits @Wimblits]

@serenityposting @W_B_Rick Oh, I'm talking about anybody, not just the hockey fujoshis. I'm a Leafs fan, I don't trust Matthews (vindicated), and Knies is on thin ice but his parents are Slovak so he can be grandfathered in.

[Wimblits @Wimblits]

@serenityposting @W_B_Rick I genuinely do not trust people who are super into hockey but aren't from a place where there's regular enough snow/cold weather to play it in a backyard. Like of all the major sports you're into the one that's pretty much all white people? That's fucking suspicious

@zxidtxt Self identified c!shet male fanfiction is a lost art but it did used to be a big thing, specifically among pre-teen and teenage boys. I think it was lost along with the culture that produced that Garugamesh anime con ad. Like this image exists for a reason lmao

[Wimblits @Wimblits]

@TwasBrillig1 Yeah, I remember being 10 and hearing about GoT and it was all like "This ain't your mommas baby shit fantasy. It's got blood and boobs and sex and none of that lame magic shit" like the boobs were half the marketing

@belladonnafeli Like wattpad was mostly young girls but https://t.co/xj3H5lKmwY had a decent split. It sucks because the OCs of 10 year old boys were always hilarious (except mine, mine were cool). There are no more coldsteel the hedgehegs being created that makes me sad.

[Wimblits @Wimblits]

@belladonnafeli When I used https://t.co/xj3H5lKmwY as a kid, a good chunk of it was incredibly detailed shonen fanfics written by 11 year old boys. I was active both in the Hetalia and FMA parts of that site and there was a very clear gender divide.

@twinkophrenia @Bolshie_Boy My Liberal parents now believe that if a white American isn't actively taking up arms against the state, they aren't worthy of respect. Trump getting re-elected and acting like this turned middle class Gen-Xers up here into MLMs for Canada. They're gonna be saying KKKracker soon

[Wimblits @Wimblits]

@belladonnafeli The Daynes rock cause they're just what would happen if a 4th grader came up with an asoiaf house except they were made up by an old man. Darkstar would be right at home among the D&D characters I made when I was 9 it rocks

@CherriFireLive We gotta get rookie, dropout, and young Sheldon together to create the ultimate YouTube short

[Wimblits @Wimblits]

@fabiola_liano It was such a good needledrop I just stared at the credits in genuine shock at how well it worked. Ira Parker my GOAT

[Wimblits @Wimblits]

@Caol_MacCormaic The real funny stuff is when entire subcultures crossed the atlantic just from people reading about them and deciding they were cool. This doc has some stuff about how skinheads crossed the atlantic and it always fascinates me

@nehmdoge @normal_jake_ Argella is real af for hating so hard she made it genetic and absolutely ruining the legacy of Orys and Aegon's friendship in the process

[Wimblits @Wimblits]

@collectortreas1 At the end of the episode, Raymun has really only made friends with a sword hobo and a 9 year old who is like 12th in the line of succession. Lyonel doesn't even remember the guy's name. Even his immediate family is gonna hate him for ruining their relationship with Lord Steffon

[Wimblits @Wimblits]

@nehmdoge @normal_jake_ Argella, meanwhile, could probably not be more thrilled

[Wimblits @Wimblits]

@trsynwax @ettingermentum Opening that episode with the logic suicide hotline song is probably the funniest needle drop chapo has ever done
