I remember being at a house party in college and this rotund, blue colored hair specimen of the opposite sex was deep in her cups and felt an ineluctable need to tell everyone that she was an English major, that Shakespeare was gay and misunderstood, and that the catholic church was as oppressive as her host, who was refusing to let her have any more Coors Light, lol.

It's true.

For me it's pop culture fantasy/science fiction books. Game of Thrones, Star Wars, The Hunger Games, The Hobbit, Harry Potter.

A lot of these series were actually quite good, reading them as a kid and as an adult was a pleasure. Somewhere along the way the general public got hold of them and it got twisted into this idea of appealing to the lowest societal fantasies, were people get tattoos of their favorite series and base their entire world view into this woke infantile philosophy of good versus evil and fighting the man as if they're the protagonists of their fictional work.

On second thought, it was probably the film adaptations that did them in. Except for Star Wars of course, but that was always kind of the most entry level scifi.

Some guy named David Mattingly, he drew a bunch of fantasy art in the 80s. My older friend introduced me to him,

Truly the most based time period.

I used to despise Homestucks, but now everything seems so trite and commodified that’s any work with even a little popularity goes down the shitter with large swaths of people not genuinely liking things, but doing it more for the “society of spectacle” type deal. No one is ever sincerly into things anymore. In fact, I think I MISS homestucks because they were so absolutely devoted to their shitty webcomic. Out of all the homestucks I met it was a small minority that were into it just to be a part of something. Now everyone and their mother are into everything we got taunted for liking in grade school.


So I guess my answer is capitalism. Capitalism has the worst fanbase.
