Follow-up: Do you have any idea why these types seem to be in scifi specifically? Or are they all across genres now and we just don't notice it because we're fixated on Patrick? Are horror writers mostly trannies and fat barren women as well now?

Sorry for the double post: It's not in sci-fi only, but it does lend itself toward weirdos. Everywhere there's a niche hobby these types have invaded. Comic books are bad (though you can argue that's sci-fi too) and board gaming has some assholes trying to ruin it too, though with board gaming there's a better split because it's such a family-oriented hobby.

But at the bigger levels you see Hollywood is a pedo cesspool and pop music is just a vehicle to churn out whores.

I try to cover and expose all the crap happening in all these spheres, which can get tough to keep people engaged cuz usually a group is hyper-focused on one and doesn't care about the other elements of culture at all. The fight needs to happen on all fronts though.

This is literally John Scalzi's entire career in one sentence.
When I was in high school and wanted to be a writer my biggest fear was being a derivative hack with lazy, half-assed angles on ideas and concepts I like, after seeing the kind of dreck that actually does get published, fuck it, I'm just gonna do Batman but he's like Lou Grant in a LOTR-type setting, he's gonna fight the evil emperor Monald Grump from the race of orange ogres. Oh, and I identify as a genderfluid dragon otherkin so those SFWA pervs have to see to it I get a sweetheart deal with Tor. Get on that, Mary Robinette Wart-Face.

I guess I disagree. It’s better to point it out in one group at a time. Trying to keep everyone’s attention on all fronts is a lot harder than things they’re interested in. They’re more likely to notice the same bullshit in other things, and once you can save one community, you can move onto another.

The biggest problem is that they think these are character defining traits. Mostly because many of these people are autistic and have no understanding of social awareness. So they find something that can be easily claimed, and use it as a personality trait. Even look at Chris Chan. At his core, he’s still the same retard who likes sonic and spergs out. In order to define himself more he “transitioned”. He’s still the same love quest retard but he acts like he’s a completely different person. Sonic changed to my little pony. That’s about it.

You're right there if I wanted to grow faster I'd be smarter and just stick to one topic. lol

But man there's so much going on and I really love sci-fi, comics and board games so I want to tackle all of them. I don't think it's really possible to save any of these establishment groups, I just try to burn them down and then do my own thing and hope it catches on.

Institutions should be burned down, and never rebuilt. Cultures of communities change constantly and can be saved with time. Look at the democrats. They used to defend swastikas and free speech. Now if you say the wrong thing, or don’t get vaccinated, you’re a literal nazi who should be removed from the world.

Remember when " punk rock" was lefties hating the establishment? Now it seems like the right fits that description more.

That’s a cultural politics thing. Hating government and being consistent with it will always mean you are on the right. Retards claiming things doesn’t change that. Just now the republicans think they’re standing up to the government, until they regain control. They both want the same thing. None of them are right wing and they haven’t been for a long time.

That would break his mind lol. I live in snow Africa now and few years back Doug Gilmour was at a Jays game people kept coming up to him, I had no idea who he was, so I asked "who are you", he looked genuinely wounded, lol. I imagine the pig thinks he's at least as big as some NHL'er near hall of famer.
Doug Gilmour went into hockey Hall of Fame in 2011 lol. Was a goddamn warrior on ice
