trust no god damn moron who goes “wew lad” cause they’re all like this

hey quick question, when did actual legit fascism suddenly evolve? wasn’t there a huge trend just a few years ago to bash on nazis in fiction? to depict americans as the glorious heroes who defeat the crazy scientists and sometimes robot/zombie nazis? isn’t that what happened in world war 2 (I mean sure minus the supernatural stuff)

it began to change around when fascists realized that they could manipulate the whatever-offends-my-parents nature of disillusioned teenage nerds on imageboards to create a self-perpetuating internet army

around the time of gamergate, in other words

Gamergate was just it going mass production. That knowledge has been a thing for a while.

This is from a book that came out in 2010.
