>>8417662sort of, i think the thing is part of a greater trend, people aren't actually as stupid as the people in power like to 'assume' they are.
think how much entertainment culture portrays politicians as corrupt, we 'know' they are, we just rarely were mad enough to do anything. now though people are finally getting so mad at allt hese little things over years they will make trumpa real candidate, and Europe will vote to leave entirely on 'fuck you that's why'
Nerd culture has an extra unique hurdle though, we aren't 'valued' but we are exploited because we're newly profitable to the 'preferred' demo. we get tired of basically beign told 'our' stuff is important enoguh to steal, but not enough anything about it needs to be preserved (fuck the character you liked, making this a woman will get the tween demo, fuck your opinion, he's gay now because it tests well.) it's the same deal in 'our' stuff, years of being pushed, devalued, yet still 'expected' to sit down shut up and accept everythign you love beign changed to appeal to fairweather people because they are 'better' than you. that is the kind fo treatment that even if minor, left to fester will get worse and worse, and breed angrier and angrier outlooks as you keep doing it.
