    Lemmy. There’s some good stuff here and also people who think you should die in a fire for being straight and white.

        Its very unfortunate how judgmental and toxic the loud voices have become. I could see one responding to you “How dare you betray your people, you’re not one of us, die die die”

        Making threats just because someone doesn’t check all the same boxes is insanity. I believe the whole point was to not have any box, yet here we are with new boxes every to keep track of week.

    I was way into Musk when he was the face of Tesla and SpaceX. Less so when he started getting weird. Jumped ship before he started getting real Bond villainy.

    Minecraft community. Love the game. Community turned into a bunch of toxic self-righteous a-holes. I had the displeasure of hosting a pvp server. Most people were alright but it only took a charismatic unemployed 20+ year old to rally half the server against the owner because we wouldn’t ban their enemies from the server.

    And the wider community that just whine that not every update is the Nether Update or Caves and Cliffs. Mojang messed up with 1.19, but it’s not that big of a deal and they seemed to have learned their lesson. (except for chat reports… Eugh) The Minecraft movie actually looks fun, just had a bad first trailer. So what if it fails. It won’t impact my enjoyment of the game. You can’t really add too much onto Minecraft because you can easily screw up the game. For example, using fireworks to boost elytra was a small feature in a pretty minor update, but I think it was one of the worse decisions, as it ruined any incentive for transport infrastructure.

    When I was smaller, I was in a group that larped as nations, generally ww2 to copy hoi4 in Roblox

    The issue was that it was extremely toxic and competitive when it was literally played as if it was multiplayer DND roleplaying

    Because it was Roblox, it had a fuck load of underage people, racists, pedophiles, man children, doxxers, script kiddies and an extremely toxic community

    I never interacted too close to it and instead stuck around the more educational parts where people discussed history itself, and I eventually got into discord nation roleplaying by creating my own server with people I knew

    If you are curious, look up World Conquest in Roblox and browse the discord

    Anything Anime. Used to watch a lot of it. Every now and then, when I get a recommendation, I still check some out. But holy hell, I will never again engage with any community. Never seen anything so toxic, standoffish and whiny at the same time.

      The Haruhi fandom forums back when season 2 premiered were a shitshow, even before Endless Eight. I tend to avoid anime fans on the internet after that. However, when the new Spice & Wolf season was airing, I ventured into some fan spaces and was surprised at how pleasant it was. Probably helps that the books and show are both pretty wholesome. Didn’t even see much lusting after Holo. So it might just depend on the show.

        It also depends on the community a lot. The anime community on lemmy ([email protected], shameless plug) has been super chill overall. I think it’s in large part due to the lemmy userbase skewing older than your average social media user.

      The borderline pedophilia in so much anime is what turns me off. So many popular series are lolicon degeneracy but heavens forbid you try to call it out, or the anime fans come out in droves to tell you that you’re an unappreciative normie who just doesn’t get the themes and how profound they are.

      I still watch some series, but I simply cannot engage with an anime community ever again.

        All the over sexualized characters, regardless of age, makes it damn near impossible to recommended much to any one. Even the “clean” shows suffer due to the bad rep. I get Japan is more open about it (ironic considering the censor laws), but some shows definitely cross the wrong side of the “adult” line and need to be publicly rediculed for it.

        Its also good to remember pretty much every western TV show has borderline porn scenes now too. Ever since they moved away from cable regulations, they’ve been getting bolder.

        If we’re gonna normalize one (too late, both are), I’ll take the animated one that doesn’t involve real people (well the voices actors have to act that shit out, but at least their whole body isn’t on full display, ever watch GoT?).

    Warhammer 40k. I’m still a part of it. There are some cool and smart people in it.

    But there are also a large group of raceist, misogynist, jerks. Then there are the people who are incredibly annoying to play against because of poor social skills. There is always at least one guy who really needs a shower.
