memes

Tfw you realise the country you’re living in has its own fandom for something and they’re ridiculously welcoming

ENA, kinda? I look at fanart and memes on Pinterest once in a while but not anything else 🙇‍♀️

MotoGP. I've never met or interacted with anyone else who enjoys it. I freaking love it

I've found fanbases are often split between the best and worst people around without much in the middle. It usually comes down to WHY they enjoy the thing.

Star Trek space travel and the social commentary versus pew-pew. R&M science fiction concepts versus being a drunk asshole. Warhammer as satire versus ...whatever they think it is.

Now look, you can think lasers are cool or that one jerk is funny, but if that's all you got... yikes.

A lot of it is either power scaling or gooning for stories. For tech it's a lot of gatekeeping and trolls. Not worth it most of the time.

The Last of Us 2. There were some obviously heavy parts but I thought it was still good. Then I found the subreddit of people losing their shit over it and quickly left 😅

F1 fans seem like a pretty fun crowd though. I may be wrong. I don't really watch... People doing things.

I watched Dropout and it was kinda interesting.

Then I joined the fandom, asked a question, and my god, what toxic motherfuckers.

F1 fanbase is so terribly polarized these days. Especially on reddit. Apparently you can only like one driver and hate the rest but one the most - looking at you George. I think a lot of this comes from the new 'fans' who only watch DTS and have no real clue or care about the history and development of the sport. Now I must say as a follower for one 20 years, I don't like the new autodrive cars, I do hate MBS, and the direction the liberty media is going.

Edit: the thing I hate the most is that the removed the 3 decimal places on the timing sheets, but only for the main race. For P1, P2, P3 and qualifying it is still OK. That is the dumbest dumb down ever in the sport.
