There was a webcomic that listed manhood trials or rites of passage in order of pain, with one with bullet ants towards the beginning, and something like "having to pretend to like baseball" near the top. I just spent like ten minutes trying to search it without success.

It sounds like something from XKCD or SMBC. Also while nobody likes baseball, everybody likes getting drunk in a baseball park and intimidating people from out of town.

I found this SMBC comic, which is just a graph, that mentions pretending to like baseball, but doesn't mention bullet ants.

Can't find anything on explainxkcd with those keywords.

That is it, exactly. And I was even searching for SMBC specifically.

It's rampant consumerism for its own sake which Huxley took issue with. There are people so utterly consumed with their favorite collectibles that they ignore what is going on in the world and even shirk some or all of their responsibilities. There isn't any need to censor anything to them because they aren't even paying attention in the first place.

Huxley was worried that all of society would get to that point. Consume, collect, and distract yourself from the real world because reality sucks. Those with power wouldn't need to worry about being tyrants as nobody would even look at what they were up to.
