Cuck has an interesting and amusing life in the political circles, as an insult adopted by the Conservatives to insult weaklings in their own ranks. Nevertheless, I don't think a political doc would be appreciated at all.

It's annoying as hell everywhere else.

I wanted to do a Freep document, because they actually are pretty funny even if they are terrible people, but I found it hard to actually collect good quotes that weren't either really short or really racist.

Off the top of my head I can only think of one good, long-form post that would be worth putting in. And that's a fairly old post (it namedrops the H1N1 vaccine) where someone theorizes a civil war started by small cells of True Patriots, that slowly grows into martial law as they recruit others from the obviously sympathetic military that get sent to stop them, that at some point start publicly executing Obama supporters.

I recently picked up a PS4 and was doing some basic reading on well-reviewed games from the past two years and whatnot and holy poo poo I didn't realize the stupid #GG thing was that drat ubiquitous across all sites and boards and whatnot. I think it took three clicks to go from a reputable review site to something worse than stormfront.

I assumed it was an insanely-vocal super-minority but I guess it's an hyper-insanely-vocal sorta-minority?

I know someone who had to close accounts because she retweeted an article that a coworker wrote. She did this on a twitter connected to her work as a video game programmer.

That's Gamergate, a lot of assholes making a lot of noise.

Gamergate, if you could separate out the worst, most explicit misogyny, is a much funnier subject than freep or antivax types, because ultimately the thing they care about with such intensity is relatively frivolous, and yet they are such monumental assholes about it. Even with context they are pathetic to outsiders, not that they can't ruin things by being shitheads.

I'm not sure the Venn of "hilariously mad about pixels" and "writes more than a two-line YouTube shitpost" isn't close to a regular circle. The longer stuff that can really anchor an F Plus episode is usually just depressing.

What fascinates me about Sherlock fanatics is the crazy tumblr crowd also fits into the ones who made up the asexual episode.

You think they would be offended with authors shipping an asexual with someone else or whatever the gently caress.

It's just not worth it though, since they rub shoulders with legitimately dangerous people who go after anyone that slights them, like Milo Yiannopoulos writing articles to direct harassment at anyone gamergate hates no matter how unnotable, or 8channers doxxing every single GG target they can find. GGers retaliate hard, especially against women.

Gamergate stuff also brings out the people who like yelling really loudly about why nobody should care and the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Basically, it ruins everything, they should never do an episode on it.

I'm working on a new episode now. There are some other things in the works. We did a lot of non-podcast projects last year, but I want to get back to basics. Also, I keep trying to get Anna to join in on a F Plus recording. She's the only one I live with.
