Be it comic books, video games, anime, and the internet itself, every aspect of our culture, i.e. "nerd culture," has been stolen from us and turned into a mainstream malformation of what it once was.
I know the argument against me is "your culture becoming mainstream means more of it is available you hipster."
Unfortunately, that's not quite the case. Our culture becoming mainstream has meant that it has changed heavily to align with mainstream values. Hence the existence of Aneeta Sarkesian and so many SJWs claiming to be "gamers." Hence the majority of people at anime conventions and the lot being SJWs themselves.
Is it not ironic that the reclusive, white male who simply wants to be alone and enjoy his culture is the one having it "appropriated" while his enemies frequently claim it is their culture being appropriated?
chuz, shut the fuck up.

>>28805560
That's why games like Overwatch are so popular.
Casualized for the masses. Any no skill scrub can be a "gamer" now. Not that I ever identified myself as such.
>>28805560
It's just that you grew up but failed to mature and now you get butthurt at people whom your hobbies were originally aimed at. You're not part of the demographic anymore, manchild. You can either grow up or be a bitter little shitstain for the rest of your life (10 years max considering your sedentary NEET lifestyle horrible diet of breaded chicken and soda).
>>28805746
sarkesian gets more views from people whining about da evil sjws than actual sjws
i agree with op, youre all normalfags who are ok with the mutilation of games to conform the normalcy of the mainstream faggot gamers that have ruined the community as a whole. though some games are exceptions.
welcome to the perpetual circle of redituable hobbys.

>anime
Not yet; besides the couple normietier shows like Kabaneri, most normalfags/SJWs can't handle anime, it's too sexist and misogynistic.
>>28806560
It is only a matter of time. Soon, all we will have left are indie games made by turboautists like Dwarf Fortress and Aurora 4x, and obscure anime that never gets subbed. DF and Aurora are safe because they're both just one person's vision, and that person adamantly refuses to compromise. Anime with no subs is safe because normies will never take the effort to learn Japanese.
>>28806556
>some people's comments and actions regarding video games annoy me
>HANG THEM
Well adjusted person.
>>28806619
But the production of anime remains in Japan, and they've been pretty resilient against western feminism. In order to sub, you have to know Jap, or work with someone that does, and chances are that in either case, the person cares enough about anime to sub it despite it's non-western values.
>>28806661
Its not just their comments. They actively damage my hobby. Look at RTS games. Genre's totally dead because normies don't like to think.
>>28806677
You just need a few people see easy money there to have subs get made. The people doing the subbing don't need to like anime, they just need to like money.
>>28806714
no one will watch shows with sjw meme filled subs
>>28806560
>>28806619
Anime and manga are still largely safe, I feel like the live action Gits movie is just a way to spread SJWisms throughout Japan and into the anime industry.
>>28806771
normies will.
see:
>>28806382
They wouldn't really be interested in the anime itself. They'd be into it only for the social status it offers.
It will go down the exact same way the casualization of vidya has.
>>28805746
False flagging and reddit tourists. The board as always is much more tolerable after the majority of the western hemisphere is asleep.
>>28806801
The Japs already told the UN to fuck off, but the 2020 Olympics might negatively affect anime.manga/hentai/doujins.
>>28806813
Anime isn't even that normiefriendly.
>>28806813
I feel like this is what Anno was talking about when he mentioned "death of the industry." They'll start pandering to what the west wants and eventually cave in, right now it's nothing but pandering to fucking gamers with the "stuck in a game world", gimmick and it can only get so much worse from there.
So what hobbies are still safe, are literature and philosophy safe?
>>28805560
>Implying anyone will ever give enough of a shit about non marvel or dc comics to steal them from me
Sure there are feminish comics but they are their own thing with its own audience so nobody will ever steal my beloved indie comics away from me, for every bland teenage drama there is a Jason, there is a delisle
>>28806870
like I said porn is safe. How would they change that?
>>28806894
indie cartoonists are bigger sjws than DC and Marvel guys
>>28806957
Not the ones I like tho, at least I have never seen them pull that crap
Why do normalfags have to ruin everything? I remember a happy time when reading fantasy novels like ASOIAF or comics would get you weird looks now because they are popular suddenly everyone is a fan.
>>28805560
If you're complaining that there's nowhere safe to be some sort of regressive right-wing faggot anymore, I have two responses;
1. Nobody cares
2. That's not even true because you can always run back to stormfront. Or /r/MRA or whatever bilge hole you crawled out from.
>>28806870
What Anno means by "death of the industry" is that they're not doing enough to reach out to new markets, not that they're doing too much. Anime is prolific nowadays but a lot of it is catered to an audience that must inevitably come to an end. For anyone that isn't making kid's cartoons over there, the audience is young to middle aged men with lots of disposable income who demand a certain kind of content to keep opening their wallets. But pandering to one specific audience breeds staleness and creative bankruptcy, and they're not capturing the minds and hearts of the next generation or anyone who is not young to middle aged men, who are not all the people in Japan or the world and who are not even the people who tend to do the most spending.
Anno, being an artist of sorts, would consider an industry dead even if it continued to pump out products, so long as those products no longer had any artistic merit. The incestuous nature of the production cycle of otaku anime practically guarantees this will be the case.
Which isn't to say good anime never gets made, but that pandering to otaku both in Japan and outside (both like the kind of shit you're talking about) doesn't lead to more of it. Ironically to your post, catering to Westerners would likely mean producing more "serious" anime; Cowboy Bebop being the classic example; which would likely elevate the medium rather than ruin it.
tl;dr get fucked idiots
>>28805560
Not really much about vidyagaems because I didn't start actually getting into em until the mid-2000s because i was broke prior, but I feel you
Before marvel movies started coming out, chads used to make fun of me for reading comics in school, now they're acting like its the coolest trendiest shit ever, saying "i love marvel comics, batman is my fav xD"
I want to hurt them, I want them to know suffering in its purest, unadulterated form. I want them to beg for death. Obviously I won't do anything illegal, but I think they deserve every bit of pain in the world.
>>28807117
Which industry do you think has suffered worse and is crawling with more posers, comics or video games?
>>28807330
>suffered worse
Video Games. Gaming is kinda fucked because of all that shit that went down with gamergate, and a bunch of lameass SJWs trying to content-police
The same happens with comics, but to a much lesser extent, and only the really mainstream ones even have to deal with it. There isn't much content policing going on with comics except for the normie-tier titles like Superman, Batman, and most Marvel bullshit. No ones shit on DC too hard (yet) and for that i'm thankful.
Id say that the poser ratio is about equal. You hear a lot less about it from the comic world because its not nearly as popular as vidya.
>>28806870
Japan is very interested in exporting anime and manga for cultural influence, but more to other Asian countries. They have a massive fanbase in China and Korea that loves it and will make them more money than the West will.
I really wish the "nerd culture" trend hadn't blown up the way it did, but honestly what could compensate for it if it wasn't as popular as it is today? There's also nothing remotely "nerdy" about today's nerd culture and it's all just consuming shit.
>>28805746

A dually the thing that pisses me off is that everything needs to be political and a big fuck you to the other side but the extremist left will quiet down soon and I will have some peace until they get replaced by the extremist right, at least then comedians will be allowed to perform again so less of two evils I guess
>>28807573

I am sick of hearing people I work with talking about their dubbed Miyazaki movies and how "repetitive catering" is killing industries when they indulge in the same repetitive catering to but in a different form
Miyazaki made basically the same movie over and over
Anno wrote garbage pseudo-intellectual plots that were basically the same every time
And people have the audacity to cite them when the anime industry today is 10x more diverse than it used to be
Anyway, yeah, I'm sick of the things I like being casualties too
Though I can at least retreat to jap shit because the japs refuse to cater to casuals in any industry
>>28807491
Holly shit black women are desperate.
You would need to be physically deformed to get rejected
D&D and tabletop gaming as a whole is still not accepted in the mainstream. It's still a target of mockery in pop culture, in fact.
>>28807650
I see /tg/ complain about progressive shit in d&d and magic
>>28807603
That's what I love about indie comics, you know how everyone tells women to make their own videogame or movie?
Indie cartoonists have so little notoriety that nobody in the new media cares enough to harras them and women who want feminist indie comics make them and I don't have to read them.
Indie comics and podcasts are the purest form of entertainment
>>28807666
Progressive shit doesn't necessarily make it mainstream. Wizards might be trying to get their stuff into the mainstream, but it doesn't mean it has.
Sweet trips, btw.
>>28807674
Which indie comics? Don't say you like any Canadian shit.
>>28807491

>>28807650
D&d is not mainstream need but it's close
Most groups I've seen have girlfriends or women hanging around the main group barely trying or using it to get attention
Give it a few years
The only thing I could see not getting casualties in tg is warhammer since its way too expensive for most normalfags to buy into casually
>>28807627
If you don't get that Miyazaki movies aren't about the stories but about the beauty in the art and animation you are beyond retarded

You can thank CoD for turning games socially acceptable

You said you haven't been on the boards in 3 years.
It's pretty well documented that Tumblr and Reddit groups have organized to subvert particular boards. Some of the Reddit ones have even provided free VPNs to their goons.

>every aspect of our culture has been stolen from us and turned into a mainstream malformation of what it once was
This is the governing principle behind a global economy.
Like a famous comedian once said, everyone fucks each other until we're all grey. This applies to all cultures that enter a multicultural agreement, too. No culture can survive free global exchange of information. Languages and accents are usually the first thing to go.
What you see happening to "nerd culture" is what happens when global networking gives everyone access to low-hanging fruit... Everyone fights over it until the creators cave and make Captain America gay and change Thor into a woman.
One thing in common with all cultures that combine is that the product is never sufficient for the demands of either culture.

This. If you want your fandom to be safe you must keep it complicated. Take CS as an example: at first you had to know machine code and how the hardware works in order to program. As time passed new languages were invented to make the process of programming faster and easier. Remember how anyone who was a programmer was looked down upon and laughed at back in the day because they were "NERDS XDDD"? Well, now being a programmer is cool as shit because you can make big $$$. And since programming isn't as difficult as it used to be, every faggot can pick programming up. Ask the average CS student what's happening inside the computer and he will tell you "It's magic". While the "nerds" are working on quantum computers, the big shots are working on tinder and Facebook. Of course the normalfags are not the ones to make the game changing advances in computer technology, but they will be the ones that will get rich and famous.
If you want to stay safe - stay complicated.

I've always really enjoyed the whole Star Wars setting and have many fond memories of it as a kid playing the games, watching the movies, collecting stuff and reading the books and whatnot. I know I'm far from the only one, but back then the movies were the "mainstream" thing and the books, comics, games and all that were for the much smaller audience that wanted to go deeper.
But these days businesses like Disney have ramped up their marketing machines to make all this nerd shit cool again. All of it. The comics, books, movies, games, collectible figures, everything. Back when I was in school I used to read Star Wars books in secret, hiding the cover because I was too afraid of people laughing at me for reading stupid nerd shit.
Now the same people who laughed at me for being too into a stupid fictional setting are all too eager to show their nerd credit by seeing The Force Awakens TWICE! Omg what nerds they are! They even got the Kylo Ren hoodie and a pin with his helmet on it XD
I hate what this "nerd culture" has become. I don't mind people coming and going from the hobbies. It's not an exclusive club. I just hate how fake it all is. I could rant and rave for hours about Warhammer or Star Wars or Tolkien stuff or the Elder Scrolls or Elric or a whole bunch of other stuff, but even now with this crap being popular and with no stigma attached people still can't generally keep up with me on it.
It's all fake. It's watered down to appeal to the largest amount of people possible for maximum profit. Star Wars has been gutted and will be milked dry, like super heroes are being milked right now, until finally people stop going in 40 years because they've seen enough of Han Solo and Darth Vader to last several lifetimes.
I detest the very idea of a "culture" coming from these things. I generally loathe and avoid conventions like comicon and planetcon. I like what I like and would prefer it if people stopped trying to ruin them.

These faggots are posting in this thread.
All you're seeing is the product of democratization and globalization in the modern world.
Now every idiot has access to all the information in the world, every idiot can have their voice heard and influence the content that gets made, that gets popularized, and the culture surrounding them. Subcultures can't exist anymore because everything is instantly commodified and democratized. Information overload leads to more stupidity, lack of creativity, more homogenization.
The only solution is systems like National Socialism. Otherwise you'll have to accept that everything will eventually degenerate to international capitalism and overdemocratization and be subverted, whether it's the internet, or games, or 4chan. If there's no system to enforce standards, it's inevitable. It happened to music which went from the Beethovens and Bachs to whatever is popular now, it happened to art which is now the clusterfuck that is "modern art", it happened to Western European culture, it happened to Hollywood and TV, nowadays it happens at record speeds and levels because of the internet. Nowhere is safe because mob rule, catering to the LCD, propaganda, and global control are the name of the game.
>>28810097
While you're mostly correct;
>It happened to music which went from the Beethovens and Bachs to whatever is popular now,
This is wrong. Music changed because people were trying new things with music, not because the big bad evil globalization has a hateboner for Bachs
>>28810486
The means to create and cosume music became much more widespread. Now that the masses have access to the means of music creation and consumption, the quality of music has diluted by the quantity that is produced and by the quantity that consumes it.

>Did they stop making comics and video games?
The complaint is not that they are not being made, but that many of the big name comics and vidya are not like they used to be and have been soulessly gutted to pander to SJWs and normalshits.
Thor is a woman.
Ms Marvel is A FUCKING PAKISTANI SHITSKIN.
These are not the characters that used these names in the past, but weak imitations.
Don't you look me in the eye and tell me they are still making Thor comics when they're using the fucking female """Thor""" that they made purely for MUH DIVERSITY.
