A nerdom divided, the disconnect between fans and creators - DRH S1E22

Dead Red Herring Podcast - Episode 22





There is a great divide within what we might call nerdom. Today,
it's more politics than story in mediums like movies, comics and
games. Being a fan is no longer just appreciating entertainment,
it's equally or even more taking a stance for politics and
ideology according to certain people. Now we see the consequences
of the progressive infection, how you no longer can have
entertainment without a ideological whip cracking somewhere and
if you oppose it, you might find yourself on the short end of the
stick. But it's not only in the fandom, creators and publishers
have also been infected and this leads to total destruction of
once great IPs and franchises. 


This is more or less a rant from my perspective on the issue at
hand and what I think could be done about it. Give it a listen
and tell me if you agree or disagree. We need to come back to
civil discussion, not keep slinging mud all the time.


 


This is not for the easily offended, you have been warned.
