    It's simple, the Fallout show is a financial success, therefore, it is not woke.

    The show is going to fail because it will be woke!

    *The show does well*

    The show is doing well because it's anti-woke!

    These types of people remind me of the Christian moms of the 90's that wouldn't let their kid watch x-men because it was satanic.

      I still remember the first time I ran into an adult who was upset I liked Pokémon

      Was a strange experience to have someone three times older than me telling me I was being attacked by demons

    I hate this kind of video so much. The hyperbole in caps, the pandering, the nonsense. I don't know if I can even unpack what's gross about it.

    But apparently there are a whole lot of people watching them.

      I've often wondered if they have any moments of self reflection that this is what their life is like or if they've bought into their own propaganda.

        I think it’s a lot of “I am getting hits and sweet sweet ad revenue cuts ergo my positions must be correct.” Money and exposure makes right instead of might makes right.

        There’s like a million of these videos. I’m sure they’re all fascists, but I doubt most of them truly care that much about these things. It’s easy money. I would do it too because all you need is to complain over a clip of you playing call of duty or some shit.

      Conservatives like to act smug about how the luny lefties are always so angry, so violent, while conservatives are enjoying tranquility. But the truth is they’re largely content with the status quo of real life, so they’re not stressed about it. The only thing left to focus on is their treats because that’s where things are “different”.

      Having been reactionary in my youth I can tell you I was always angry. And I would seek out videos that made me angry. I enjoyed being angry. It's the lowest rung on the dopamine reward ladder and it's very easy to trigger another hit.

      They are hatred addicts.

    Why do the TITLES for these videos HAVE randomly capitalized WORDS?

      it's usually the verbs and some culture war keywords bullshit. it's because you have to get ANGRY when reading it so they get some ragebait clicks, but their audience can barely read so they have to do this shit.
