    UlyssesT doesn't like three things:

    1. The treatbrained

    2. The Redditbrained

    3. The techbrobrained

    Hexbear hates the Redditbrained and the techbrobrained about the same as him. Everyone here loves shitting on Slava Ukraini Redditors and the cybertruck. We all love UlyssesT when he's shitting on Star Citizen or AI art. However, Hexbear is also very treatbrained, so he butts heads with people here over treats.

      I can sympathize. i dont like excessive worship of pop culture either. i got into a small back and forth about that crappy deadpool and wolverine movie a while back.

      i have my pop culture weaknesses as well, but when people get obsessed with movies like batman it makes me cringe a bit.

      i think someone on here once implied that since i was shitting on pop culture i was almost by extension shitting on people who are neurodivergent.

        I just dislike the conflation between a hobby and pop media consumption, which is just one of many types of hobbies and I find it disturbing that people are so glued to their particular pop media consumption to the point where they can't just switch hobbies. You see this most clearly with 2024 Gamergators. I'm not taking the grifting content creators but the actual people who are still on /r/KotakuInAction. Like, in your scree about how games have sucked for decades and how it's taken over by the woke nu-male soyboy DEI SJW t-word that's running gaming into the ground, you never once thought about just dropping gaming and finding a new hobby filled with fellow travelers like WH40k? You never once thought about just getting into MMA with other fellow reactionaries or joining a gun club where you won't see a single strand of dyed hair? Why do you still care about an artistic media that you've long decided has gone to irreversible decline?

        i think someone on here once implied that since i was shitting on pop culture i was almost by extension shitting on people who are neurodivergent.

        I toyed around viewing being treatbrained as a form of addiction. Most people would say that people who can't stop spending money on gacha games are addicted, so why not expand this idea to pop media consumption in general? Of course, if you want to say they're addicted to pop media, you can't shit on them for being addicts.

          Can you not direct them to WH40k please? We already have enough of a reactionary problem as it is without getting the video game crowd in on it too. It'$ been getting better, but if you keep assuming it is full of reactionaries, it will eventually only contain reactionaries.

          GamersTM will never give up games, but will continue to bring up how woke they are and still play them.

          They love those treats too much man.
