Hobbies ruined by other people thread - And corporations, and trends, and so forth.

[AMHOLIO]

The Trans thread was talking about how we needed a coping and support thread for people who's hobbies were invaded and made much harder to enjoy by other people, notably troons in that thread of course.

Has your hobby been ruined by the trans invasion? What about a crop of SJWs or consooomers? Maybe some groypers co-opted it and you want to die of embarrassment now? Or maybe it has become too popular and corporations and scammers have taken to fucking you over? Complain and bond about it here.

You mad man you actually did it.

I've not had to much of the loony troons touch most of my hobbies yet (they don't require being social) but i've seen a few trannies start creeping into the sewing discussions on line specifically asking (baiting) questions like "I'm a trans woman am i safe here to show off a corset" and some other shit clearly trying to get arsepats.

The cheese making community is full of people trying make a quick buck by starting up a micro farm, but have no general food science understanding or to even basic level cooking experience but want to make enormous wheels of cheese "because it looks so yum !"

Fuck now i'm just getting mati thinking about these lazy cunts.

*cheese tax included

I still do a lot of reversing and general honest to goodness cracking/patching and it’s a lot of fun.

However……..
The troons have really made the InfoSec/hacking scene cringe, it used to be a lot more fun meeting people.

Oh and speedrunning, that also got ruined by troons.

Oh and video games… which got ruined by women and troons.

Oh and raising animals, that also got ruined by troons.

Oh and art; the furries, troons, children, all ruined.

Animation, but I can’t even make anything with an animal talking without someone being like, “furry”.

Crossdressing; used to be funny on occasion to shock friends and family, now it’s just troon shit.

Smoking, now the damn faggots think vaping is SO COOL and I’m so old and behind the times.

Gay seggs, it was fine until everyone started doing it (that’s a joke btw)

Enjoying a nice day at the park; pedos ruined that one for me. Now if you read a book and too many kids are around mothers ask you to leave BECAUSE A MAN CANT JUST READ A BOOK AND ENJOY THE MOMENT ANYMORE.

FUCK I HATE THEM ALL

Talking about guns on the internet got ruined by the slav slap fight and a flood of shills, that were no doubt brought on by realizing that selling tacticool stuff is one of the few ways to trick men into consooming. Nearly every guntuber is part of the leviathan media shill group, every cheap piece of milsurp was bought up by (admittedly shrewd) speculators, and now the only thing anyone wants to talk about is min maxing a rifle that came out in the 50s.

 

[Rommelbutt]

I used to enjoy watching speedruns. Now it's just full with trannies and they groom anyone into being a tranny. Any person who has issues with themselves and can be easily influenced will be targeted. And they infest any community. And if they can't infest it, the community is deemed transphobic and slandered. Which leads to constant drama.

There wouldn't be so many mentally unstable faggots if trannies couldn't spread online freely like a virus. They turn any troubled person into radioactive poison.

 

[T-21]

I'll start with mine. In this case, it's a tranny who encouraged cheating in some STALKER fan games known as STALCRAFT. Not even Eastern European games are safe from them.

I can’t believe it, I was about to write up an OP but then thought, hmm, maybe @AMHOLIO will do it, and what do you know — I was right!

I used to draw a lot more when I was in roleplay/tabletop communities; I also didn’t mind DMing but in hindsight it was clear that being surrounded by loonies was impacting my mental health. After fighting with my group over some inane bullshit, I got outcast and I never looked back.

I suppose I can’t completely blame the trannies for my reluctance to pick up a pencil now, but online art communities are a cesspool of troons and children and it doesn’t really feel like a space I would be welcome in anymore. Sort of like trying to fit in at a high school at 25.

(Nowadays when someone is under 20 and lists “likes to draw” as one of their hobbies I immediately assume they’re terminally online.)

I really do like worldbuilding and designing as well as running a story for others to enjoy, though. It’s just that it tends to attract miserable company with no social skills.

 

[LinkinParkxNaruto[AMV]]

i'd be harder to think of what hasn't been ruined. Social media has ruined every hobbie, every art, every subculture, every scene, every form of expression, everything is tainted by megacorps, normalniggers , whores and their eternal virtue signaling and highschool popularity contests and every niche community will be trannies and redditors all the way. can't even have a niche anymore.

I swear everytime I see some art space online it's just a cesspool of people accusing each other of pedophilia or isms. Often even children accusing each other of being pedos.

Pedo paranoia is a real problem in Current Year America. But it may unfortunately be justified. For example: "transgender" grooming.

Although the incident you described may also be a symptom of Clown World wanting to treat all straight men like potential criminals.

They turn any troubled person into radioactive poison.

Like I said before, it would be nice if Current Year could end, and Clown World could stop being Clown World - if even possible now.

I feel this so much. It's genuinely hard to find good hacking/reversing articles nowadays without being bombarded with "trans rights!!!" and other uspol. Maybe it's just twitter and it's orbiters, but often when I find some good writeup and then check out other work of the author it feels like diving in a septic tank. Even the ones who are not in US will spam my feeds with some US transgender legislation bullshit. Like, dude, I dont give a fuck, I came here to read about hacks not political sperging.

The fact that most of these individuals are also doublethinking consoomers ("the large c*rporations are literally hitler", sent to Twitter from my iPhone kind) makes it extra cringeworthy. My ban list is long and grows every day.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

There's still this place, which is like a "Web 1.0" forum. But as you've seen, SJWs have been trying to get this place shut down.

cghub and conceptart,org where good communities but died as soon as social media took off and that hole never got replaced. There is no real equivalent now.

This. I used to draw and write stuff - my ex-friend was my beta (but she got enveloped by wokeness), I kinda participated in some nerdy communities and fandoms. We had our - often politcally incorrect - laughs and jokes, shared theories and opinions. Now it's a minefield, every post is walking on eggshells. Those spaces are infected by fetishistic fujos or G/Aidens, policing everything and everyone, while participating in the most degenerate or cringe kinks/aesthetic. They're stuck in arrested development, unable to grasp adulthood, they live thru the "lives" of fictional characters and cling to scraps of childhood/adolescence, when everything was simple and the world was their oyster.
Also, this troon bs is everywhere to the point it's anarchronistic - there are people looking for trans rep in Chowder, ffs.

I pity the young, socially awkward girls who fall into these communities nowadays, because it seems they usually end as one of those two types of womenchildren, unless they limit their Internet use at some point and start enjoying the real world.

Also - pet owners. Especially rats. Sure, there are some weird individuals among cat-lovers, but rat owners are a true troonfest and they insert "queer" bullshit everywhere they can and their poor pets are no exeption. I left a few facebook pet groups due to troonery and constant LGBT+ sperging.

It's really getting hard to enjoy yourself online. Luckily, troons are usually terminally online, and too focused on cooming and consooming to bother with open-air activities. Where I live, at least.
I still miss the "old Internet". A place where you could bond over hobbies, laugh at stupid shit, create and share. Where people with different backgrounds or views could function in one place and laugh at stupid shit or discuss hobbies. (Thank You, Kiwi Farms, for giving us this wonderful opportunity). Years ago Jim was right - In 2016 we were witnessing the end of the Internet as we knew it. Social media and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

Knitting is a complete dumpster fire

One of the founders of ravelry (the biggest online knitting community) casey/"cassidy" forbes literally trooned out in a pathetic attempt to dodge criticism for his shitty redesign and now is banned from interacting with people on his own site lmao

People get up in arms about nebulous charges of racism that make Tumblr fan art drama look like a garden party. Here's a fun intro article https://quillette.com/2019/02/17/a-witch-hunt-on-instagram/

Warhammer and gaming in general have turned into a shitshow of the lowest common denominators of society.
Gone are the wonderful DYI projects of old.
Instead you get a reddit tier barrage of midwits opinions and ideas.

 

[rel=alternate]

I don't really partake in online communities except for this one, so I might be out of touch.

But does it not all comes down to trying to suck up to the bigger authorities in your field?

If we take drawing, I am sure there are enough people who do not give a single fuck about politics or gender that a splinter cell could be made. If you like to draw, you don't need to be in the main discord or whatever. It does not change anything for you.

If you want Sempai to notice you, you need to suck the tranny tit though. And that's awful, but you're retarded to begin with.

You fucker, I shouldn't write threads for other people ever again.

If I were you, I'd look at some IRL art clubs and art classes. Sometimes picking up a new medium and meeting people IRL can inspire you to be more productive and give you at least a new experience to try! There's also in person art festivals and you can meet some interesting people there, check for them as the year goes by.

I've become more tolerant of troon artist but for reasons unexpected: if you hang out on image only sites like instagram and ArtStation, you can skip past the incredible trans bullshit of twitter and tumblr. Comments are kept to descriptions, so all you have to do is ignore everything.

(Nowadays when someone is under 20 and lists “likes to draw” as one of their hobbies I immediately assume they’re terminally online.)

Yes. That's all.

I really do like worldbuilding and designing as well as running a story for others to enjoy, though. It’s just that it tends to attract miserable company with no social skills.

I was talking about this in a chat the other day: sometimes you enter a space and you're the most socially and mentally stable person there, and as a kiwi farmer, that's a bad thing. You can either stick around and try and do tard wrangling or leave for normal pastures with a larger variety of normies, which is pretty much the better choice.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

It's really getting hard to enjoy yourself online.

I guess it's good I don't really publicly interact on the internet (or at least on the American internet), aside from a small number of discussion boards - like this site.

Social media and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

I really do think that without "social media", Current Year could've been just "the present" instead.

Funny you say that, I’ve also owned rats before. I’ve been fortunate enough that my local Facebook rat groups are full of old ladies (who can be crazy in their own right), but mostly free of identity politics.

They feel very counter-culture, that’s for sure. Funny thing is that 90% of people I’ve witnessed owning rats are biological women. They’re like a lite version of cats, and I’ve had a lot of fun with them despite the constant battle with respiratory illness.

The gays like to claim their rats are nonbinary and/or transgender lesbians or whatever but honestly, I don’t care. It’s like giving a gender to your squishmallow or beanie baby. Unless they’re housing their rat who has an intact ballsack with some females because they think he feels like a girl uwu, in which case they’re so retarded they shouldn’t own pets in the first place.

I do find all these DNI stickers pretty funny, though. Maybe I did feel a little bad at first but they’ve lost their edge.
