like a lot of extremely online nazi bullshit it's incredibly unlikely that anyone would pick that up as just a thing people say if they don't hang around a lot of extremely online nazis, but if you call em out on it it's on you to prove they're a nazi and there's no way to do that without sounding insane

I dunno where I've picked it up but I've been calling people 'friend' online for many years and I've never been or hung out around Nazis. I'm definitely in punch a Nazi camp so this could also just be a coincidence.

Fren though, never used so maybe it's gotta be the both? I lean on it just being a general online thing they picked up themselves because they are all also extremely online.

"fren" is like any other thing in that yes there is plausible deniability about it but 95% of the time someone uses it it is obviously not a dog whistle and the fact is that actual shitheads will use it in tandem with other dog whistles to distinguish themselves because they tend to be very stupid.

Isn't "fren" for "friend" an online neonazi thing? From when they had a nazi subreddit all in baby talk in an attempt to avoid scrutiny.

so i went down a rabbit hole on the twitter for the platform they're shilling

they had an event called a "megacube" which involved clicking at pixels on a cube to progressively reveal what appears to be a sponsor logo or some poo poo

when the clicking is done you repeat the process for a smaller cube that is inside that one and which also has a dumb logo that now takes more clicks to "mine"

there are 100 cubes in this matryoshka skinner box

whoever clicks the most gets "a prize"

I don't know much about Seth Green, but I do know my aunt, who was raised by my holocaust surviving grandfather, is a rabid qanon nut so I don't think any particular identity makes someone immune to Nazism.

I mean he's probably not one, but also people should avoid using codewords that Nazis love, even if they're not themselves Nazis.

Exploration is ill-advised.
It really is basically Beanie Babies or tulips without actually having physical products that someone might have a use or value for as cute stuffed animals or pretty flowers, and with barely any effort required to create them, meaning you get a market swamped with insane nonsense. Like a gacha game without the 'game' part. It's like kids drawing their own Pokemon cards or whatever and then adults try to legitimately sell them as real cards.

What's really interesting is seeing how NFTs in particular have not evolved so much as failed to evolve. There was that one posted the other day that was like 3D gorillas and the first thing you see is one rising up with the same stupid laser eyes as the Bored Apes. Like there is virtually no thought put into the idea of elevating the craft as such, it's total derivation. Keep the ape part, but make them gorillas this time. That's the key! The same basic conceits of the aesthetic are all there. "NFT" in the public consciousness is essentially now "a portrait of a silly animal" even though in theory there shouldn't be any specific strain of theme or composition of what an NFT even is, and there is even a pretty wide swath of NFTs that are actually cool art pieces. The sheer tastelessness of the crypto community poisoned the well from the start. I think the whole concept of NFTs would have been much, much more widely accepted and embraced if there had been some kind of prevailing aesthetic that wasn't on par with those old superhero creator palettes we used to gently caress around with in like 2005

Regardless, they would still be receipts for JPEGS. There is no ownership, no utility, and no value to NFTs.

well, yeah, its not art, its not people wanting to be a patron of the arts, the oinly requirements are a generic base and the ability to churn out as many variations as possible with the least amount of effort,
I had a conversation with an artist friend of mine about her minting nft's and we concluded that its anti art if anything.

its interesting seeing the parralels between nft's and star citizen.
