It's really kind of sad to see the fandoms I've participated in over the years degrade into toxic "muh genders muh racisms" things.

It's even more sad to realize that the people that welcome this type of behavior don't seem to realize these people aren't here to participate in the fandom, but to make it more acceptable to their values.

Once the people like me, who are there because we liked the concepts of the genre, have left, it will be nothing but these people who are there to change it into their idea of life. When it's fully converted, they will leave and the whole thing will fade into memory with only a handful of founders and die-hards to wonder what happened to the crowds that used to attend.

Some of us were here for the spaceships and explosions. The minute you started sticking your dick, or lack thereof, into it, it's something different and best of luck to you.

These types of places inevitably degrade to shit holes.
Back in the days of /b/, there was a lot of organization, shared humor, general drive and comfy frenships.
There's a reason that place was filled with porn, /pol/ was created to divide us and the supposed "hacker group, Anonymous" sprung up.

The entire point was to derail our capabilities, to curtail our under-the-radar expansion and to ensure we never got close to doing it again.

If you're thinking that small masculine gatherings largely popularized by their welcoming atmosphere and genuine appeal to intelligent young men in search of identity were ever organically divided and conquered, you're wrong.
This goes all the way back to the Hermetic Masons who were once noble men and who shared their brotherhood so that people wouldn't try to stop them. This is why they became so secretive.
A certain group of people have made it their life's goal to be certain young intelligent men don't have any chance of forming tight knit groups to do the very thing the founding fathers did - figure this fucking Game out.

The stuff I'm interested in seems to have pulled back into smaller groups where you have to know the others to be a part of. Whether or not that's a good thing remains to be seen.
