If only. Like Nutshell said, there's lots of people on there who've been posting for years and years and years. That guy from the beginning of episode ranting about the furry-transsexual slip-n-slide? He registered his account in 2004.

This episode should be tagged "teenagers?".

True dat. If your project is failing, give it furry aspects and make sure the furries catch wind of it. You will drown in money.

Did Lemon not know the word "pogrom", or was the standards of what came before that word in the passage so low that he naturally assumed it was a poorly written rendition of "program", because frankly, I wasn't even expecting a word that "advanced" so to speak to be in that person's vocabulary.
I knew a friend who was all over this in 2005 or so, I just knew it as a harmless goofy forum thing with RP boards where you dressed up this ugly little pixelated doll.
Its really hilarious knowing that people are sitting on their asses with these cookie cutter anime avatars earnestly extolling the manly virtues of slaughter and bloodshed when they probably couldn't even make it through a 10th grade PE volleyball game. Its like when people were sitting around on James Cameron's Avatar forums whining about how much they value and love nature.
Also, it's weird seeing this MRA stuff on here, I never even thought of Gaia Online as having even the slightest amount of male appeal, I never even considered that this board had a large male userbase until hearing this reading.

I expected a lot of things out of this episode, but disgusting far-right-wing bigotry was not one of them.Can I just take a moment to say how distressing it is to hear arguments from teenagers modeled after the reactionary rhetoric of Fox News and AM hot talk radio? I would hope that the millennial generation would reject this form of dialogue, but it seems they've taken to it happily. That this line of thought comes alongside adorable little anime avatars makes it even more absurd.

In the past people who stayed in the same town they were born and did nothing with their lives were called "townies". In this internet age what do we call people that stay on the same forum or internet communities and do nothing with their lives? Forumies? Myspace users? Needs work-shopping.I'd just call them sad.

I wonder where the Gaia moderators and admins are?

I have no trouble believing that a lot of the people posting on there are in their teens, or at least, in the late-teens-early-twenty-college-age sort of years.
I know a number of people in that age range who are really heavy into alt-right/neoreaction/whatever bullshit. And they all seem to really like CS:GO. That sort of alt-right stuff seems to really get people who are, say, maybe anime nerds but also really into firearms and milsim stuff.

I think it starts with normal "I want to feel like I have the key to understanding the world." A lot of people need to feel like they're surrounded by unenlightened masses if they want to feel like that. The super alt-right stuff afaict is just another way for people to tickle their "I knew I was better than other people!"-bone based on some existing prejudices. If you had different starting views you'd probably start identifying super strongly with leftists to look more sophisticated, stuff like that.
