Aside from videogames, choose your own adventure (cyoa like on r/makeyourchoice) prompts are also pretty rife with shitty things. Aside from the excessive sexualization of women, there are also several instances where authors enforce a gender binary and heteronormative romance.

In a subculture based on customization and choice.

Oh man, wrestlers are the fucking worst. Like, they know how gay the sport is, and instead of embracing it like bodybuilders do, they pick up like 6 layers of homophobia and a tough guy attitude as a defense.

Like, I made a comment that tucking your hoody into basketball shorts looks dumb as hell and got told basically that fashion was for f*gs.

Like dude, we’re skipping clubbing on a Friday night to roll around in singlets with sweaty dudes, caring about fashion is the straightest thing I’ve done all night.

Also, if I, a queer can wrestle some jacked lean dudes and not get aroused, then you as a straight dude can take a chill pill and admit its kida gay and that’s okay.

So much insecurity. Jesus. I know a ton of straight dudes who wrestled in school and was disappointed to find so many of them to be homophobic.

Time to bring back Ancient Greek nude wrestling so the guys wrestling in tights can look straight by comparison

Unfortunately, pankration will never be as gay as Turkish Oil Wrestling, the pinnacle of all wrestling and the only sport where the Rusty Fishhook is a legal hold

so is it possible to 3D print a gun that you can fire more than 3 times yet?

You can print all the plastic parts. You still need a steel barrel etc. “3d printed guns” is mostly nonsense.

The Vietnam War is also swarmed by irony poisoned zoomer nazis

Weird to see zoomers stan the USA in like the war that proved beyond a doubt that the USA were war criminals.

Football, ultra culture tends overwhelmingly fash.

History has already been mentioned. If you talk to a self proclaimed “history geek” chances are that they’re interested in one of three things, Rome, the crusades or WW2, and all for bad reasons.

if someone refers to themselves as a “history buff” or anything like that then they’re usually some /r/historymemes tier shithead who only knows the most superficial elements of those three parts of history, for sure. i’ve found that people who actually know and understand a bit of history will show that they’re knowledgeable about it when it comes up in conversation naturally but don’t identify with the idea of being a “history nerd” because we all actually understand that we don’t know shit about fuck and the complexity of the subject is more than any person could truly grasp.

like, the more i learn about things, the more i realise that history is a completely subjective discipline and there’s infinitely more that we don’t know than that we do. one example being with ancient history, you hear about egypt and mesopotamia so much more than you do about e.g. norte chico or the indus river valley civilisation simply because the former two have been studied so much more (in the western school anyway) and left behind far more that’s of use to modern historians (written records, more substantial archeological remains, and so on).

I think it would be more efficient to list non-reactionary fanbases.

Is digital art reactionary? I feel like I’ve seen people of all stripes try their hand at it.

I’ve had a really good experience with contemporary classical music fans. Since they tend to grow so much out of campus culture of schools of music the right end of the fanbase culture tends to be NPR lib which is a lot more bearable a personality type than true CHUDS
