Okay hi Weeb Wars I've missed you guys I've got a quick rant.
Do y'all notice that the people between the ages of say....25-45 who have made "BEING A NEEEERD" their entire brand and personality are the absolute most insufferable people you could encounter? Take Armzgurl for instance. Take all of the people she's ever associated with. All these old guard anime fans, the people who have been gatekeeping conventions.
I really can't stand them.
Not to PL but someone in my family associated with those types a lot because that family member and their friends (like me) frequented the convention scene.
They're insufferable and almost all of them have skewed politics because they believe that their fandom utopias can be achieved with socialism or some bullshit like that. They live in constant denial because they're so detached from reality.
Now, that age range intersects with the ages of people who would have been exposed to Vic in the peak of his career. I notice a pattern of resentment towards Vic because a lot of these people wanted to be voice actors or have some stupid reason for resenting him based on the characters he portrayed and now they're all KickVic because it's an excuse to shit on a guy they decided they didn't like because he was so popular.
Anyway, that's been on my mind lately. Hope you guys are well and early Happy Thanksgiving just in case I fall off the face of the planet again.
