    I hope the things you like get mistaken in the news as white supremacist-related, then nazis all pile on until nobody can enjoy it any more.

      It’s usually the other way around. The nazis slowly corrupt a community that consists mostly of one of their target groups, pushing out people who are aware of their dogwhistles because, well, they’re clearly nazis, and is not going to recognize that or listen to you, as they wouldn’t make a good target group otherwise.

      Then, if they succeed, at some point it gets bad enough that the media notices, after which the nazis go “look at the silly liberals, thinking everyone is racist these days” and get a lot more open, thereby pushing out the last few people who were initially oblivious to there fascism, or forcing them to endure fascist rethoric to enjoy their hobby’s community.

      K-On is one of my favorite guilty pleasure shows, and for some reason saying that now makes people suspect I’m a Nazi.

      I ain’t letting them have this one. It’s a stupid show about high schoolers drinking tea and playing music, dammit.

          Memes. They hijack pop culture and turn it into a dogwhistle, like if you’ve seen people randomly saying “is that a jojos reference?” underneath some worryingly bigoted comment on youtube, they’re trying to indicate that they’re a fellow right wing asshole. For a long time “subscribe to pewdiepie” was used. Both references had some nazi connection, like jojos had a nazi character, and pewdiepie flirted with nazi stuff in a deniable way.

          The point is that it’s silly and innocuous so that if anybody tries to call it out then they can just gaslight them and point out how silly it is, and they’re clearly making something out of nothing.

          “Gay coated” is just an amazing eggcorn that I have never heard before.

          So eggcorns are misheard phrases that are then reinterpreted in a way that still makes sense in context, and that video makes the point that they’re not actually wrong, and sometimes they can compete with the original phrase.

          The original term is “gay coded”, as in the creators have used commonly recognised “code” to signal that the characters are gay.

          But I actually love the idea that they’re just slathered in the gay, just lubed up head to toe.

            I’ve always seen this referred to as “bone apple teas” for many years, but “eggcorn” is a better single-word term for it.

            And that was a good video, thanks!

              I’d say they’re different to bone apple tea because that’s a nonsense phrase whereas these could conceivably stand in for the original.

              Eggcorn in particular has somewhat replaced acorn in a region of the US where those words sound the same, and the reason it’s not wrong is because it is a corn - a seed - and it does have an egg shape in it, so “eggcorn” is descriptively accurate.

          Gay-coded, but yes, and it was directed by a woman working at one of Japan’s most employee-friendly studios.

          But Nazis aren’t really famous for their intelligence.

    Happens to me all the time with music. Be jamming out to a song I’ve loved for years, right when my fav. artist dropped the album. Then tiktok plays the one hook from one song on their album and people always ask “Oh! Did you hear that on tikTok?!” … No…no…no 🙄

      That has happened to me so much in recent years, both with clipped songs and bands/artists I like becoming popular. I don’t hold myself with any music pretention, and the vast majority of my “underground” discoveries are just random chance and Spotify algorithm. There is no way I have found to explain “no, I’ve been listening to them since [insert album]” that hasn’t been met with some form of hipster comment.

          I mean, there’s definitely a skill to finding new good music. I’m not very good at it but I wish I was, it’s kind of difficult.

            My experience has been different. There’s such a wealth of good music out there that I hardly know where to stop. Almost every time I see an artist perform, I want to buy their album.

            Now, finding new good music that’s also popular is another thing.

            Or maybe I legit have bad taste in music, but if so I’m ok with that because I’m having fun.

              I think it’s definitely possible that the range of music you like is wider than mine, which is definitely not a bad thing. I guess that’s part of my problem, I know how to find a lot of music, but I don’t enjoy a lot of music i find.

                I also tend to latch onto certain things and become a bit obsessive. For example, I’ve listened to pretty much everything recorded by Asian Man Records since like the 90s haha

                The only genre of music I don’t much care for is pop country, and there are even exceptions to that

        Maybe you don’t have to tell people anything at all about how you discovered good music?

        “Oh, did you hear about them on TikTok?”

        What?

        “TikTok. You probably heard that song on TikTok.”

        Oh ok. I really like their new album. I also enjoy [insert other music you like].

        “Yeah, I heard it on TikTok. I really love the 20 version I’ve heard replayed thousands of times.”

        Cool. Have a good day.

      And why does that impact your enjoyment? Did the song change? Did your ears change?

    Back in the 90s, saying the earth was flat meant you were open to talking through hypothetical science and creating wild theories. You knew the truth, but you never wanted to break kafabe. The sheer sillyness was part of the fun.

    Today, saying the earth is flat means youre a flat out moron who lacks other critical thinking skills. It’s a warning sign that you also have other troubling thoughts.

      See, this is what I thought we were doing back then too, but I’ve got a different hypothesis. I believe many of the people we were talking to back then actually really did believe it. I don’t think people were any more level-headed back then than they are now – we just assumed they were joking because that’s what we were doing.

      I think Grand blue is fairly well known in the US because of their expansion into other game types. Plus the anime. The fighting game is marvelous.

        By any chance, did you watch it when it first came out? Lost was made to be binge watched in an era of television before that was commonplace. It holds up much better if you can watch an episode every few days, instead of once a week.

        Season 4 is actually regarded to be one of the better seasons of the show, the beginning of season 3 was awful though. Also they do flashbacks throughout the whole show
