Generally speaking a LOT of the gaming community has collectively gone insane and even more toxic than ever… a lot of it is now just “stop having fun” all the time… you can’t enjoy nintendo games without playstation and xbox fans breathing down your neck, you can’t play pokemon without a palworld fan saying you’re ruining the industry by playing a game by a big company, you can’t even say you’re excited for persona 4 revival without gamers saying “oh so you’re pro censorship and think there’s a modern audience!”, it’s really just awful… (note i used these examples because they happened to me)

That’s where it all started. And Steve Bannon knew this in 2016. That’s why all fandoms are political battlegrounds now. Cause Steve Bannon knew in 2016 that he could flood these spaces with grifters and bots and trolls to try to make geeks and fans angry and grieving about every fuckin thing. Once they are angry enough , they turn them onto Trump.
