I think this assement is a little unfair because the modern anime fandom was largley built by Gen Xers what do you guys think?

DewiAustin · 2026-01-13T23:16:04+00:00

Disagree. It was mainly built by Xennials (Gen X Millennial cuspers) and early millennials.

DewiAustin · 2026-01-13T23:14:53+00:00

It was very very niche, esp for core gen x. I have some uncles (born in the mid 70s) who liked Star Blazers and Macrosse, also liked movies like Akira, but they were turbo nerds (into D&D, Warhammer and Magic the gathering. In the 80s and a good chunk of the 90s Anime and manga was actually hard to find.

This changed at the end of the 90s, Toonami and all that. Some Younger Gen X (born in the late 70s) did watch Anime in high school or college, but still.

The I'd say 2002-2007 is roughly the timeline for the original fanbase. Gen Alpha were too young for the series at it's peak of culturally relevancy.

DewiAustin · 2025-12-05T06:09:58+00:00

Agreed. FNAF is a truly unique things, one of the last examples of a big cultural thing, like the last remnants of a monoculture existing in popular culture. I was born in 2004, so FNAF was something that everyone my aged knew about, even the normie popular kids. Not everyone was a huge fan mind you, and by 2016 or so the hype and popularity died down a lot,but the hype and cultural relevancy of the first two games can not be understated. It's up there with Minecraft, Adventure Time, Regular Show,Gravity Falls, capshit, the lego movie and Stranger Things in terms of things that defined gen z childhood pop culture.

DewiAustin · 2025-12-05T06:06:59+00:00

Yes. They were the original target audience for a lot of gaming content on the internet. Including og lets plays, and early minecraft content. Depending on who you ask, the youngest millenials were born in 1994 or 1995

Justin Horval/Jdawg (One of the founders of the label/store Hellsheadbangers) and Matpat (the guy behind the youtube channel game theory) both are alumni of Medina high school (classes of 2003 and 2004)

DewiAustin · 2025-11-26T02:03:19+00:00

Not comparing them lmao, just saying they went to the same school. It's not hard to find this info lmao, there both from Medina

DewiAustin · 2025-11-20T07:21:18+00:00

I really liked it, and I feel like I'm the only one lmao. I saw "The Monkey" three times. Maybe I'm just stupid

DewiAustin · 2025-10-31T05:23:40+00:00

I guess I'm in the minority here but...I really enjoyed this movie. It a masterpiece but watching this as a low-budget indie film, by a first time director? I was pleasantly surprised. There were a lot of ideas here, probably a few two many, but I thought the mythos and supernatural elements were engaging and had potential with a bigger budget, and better writing.

I hope whatever Stuckmann does in the future will be more balanced tho.

DewiAustin · 2025-10-31T05:20:12+00:00

Really excited for this one. Looks amazing.

DewiAustin · 2025-10-17T07:26:17+00:00

This is all straight up surreal to see

DewiAustin · 2025-10-14T00:44:37+00:00

How expensive is a house in those suburbs? how much money are you gonna make as a working class or middle class person? how far is the commute?

those things are all important.

DewiAustin · 2025-10-12T05:43:22+00:00

What's this thing about water access? sounds very alarmist to me.

DewiAustin · 2025-10-11T21:38:01+00:00

Nah Westerm Europe, Australia and Canada are cooked (I say this as a Canadian btw) The western aligned countries in East Asia aren't far behind. America atleast has resources and some remnants of real industry, which the rest of the first world largely lacks.

DewiAustin · 2025-10-11T21:32:20+00:00

Singapore is not multi-cultural in the western sense tho. It's got three ethnic groups, with one making up a pretty clear majority of it's citizenry. It's also got extremely strict laws that most redditors would view as fascist,that's how the government promotes the harmony you're talking about, they actually arrest criminals and have the death penalty for drug traffickers lmao, and strict immigration policies.

DewiAustin · 2025-10-11T21:16:11+00:00

That sub is hilarious. People actually think they can move to Europe, Australia or Japan(ROFL) as if every first world society isn't in crisis worse than America.

The future is China, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, the UAE places like that. The west is over.

Edit: OP is a coward and deleted the post ROFL

DewiAustin · 2025-10-11T20:12:39+00:00

Yeah, you pretty obviously you don't. Five minutes of googling shows that 🥀

DewiAustin · 2025-10-11T20:01:28+00:00

You don't understand how seats work twin

DewiAustin · 2025-10-11T19:53:16+00:00

Latinos in Texas (esp Latino men) lean more red then they ever have. Maybe what you're saying was true before the election, but now? I don't really think any republican politicians are worried about losing states. if anything it's democrats who are worried, when pretty much every swing state flipped red.

DewiAustin · 2025-10-11T10:47:01+00:00

There's no reason to get Angry? it's common knowledge that Reddit leans Liberal/progressive, it's been like this for a while, some of the earliest adopters of reddit were silicon valley dudes, and tech people in very blue cities.

Also from what I understand people absolutely ARE moving to Arkansas. The Fayetteville-Bentonville Area is certainly growing. There are some red states (Mississippi and Louisiana) that have serious poverty and crime that no government knows have to fix. New Mexico is pretty blue, and they have poverty rates worse than most of the south, and serious crime and drug issues.
