  • It’s both. The western economy is in a slump, people are getting disillusioned and that creates the perfect environment for populist ideas like Fascism to pop-up. The right has wisely noticed the power of social media and they’ve been flooding the web with propaganda, couple that with bad-faith actors like Russia taking advantage of the situation and you’ve got yourself a bunch of young, gullible people with no positive outlook for the future being dragged into all sorts of extremism with false promises of change for the better. Not to mention all the boomers coming out of their closets as full-on fascists now that the right has been extremely vocal in favor of said views.




  • Disregarding the absolutely unplayable and broken, I think it’s a toss up between the 2008 Alone in the Dark or Final Fantasy 15. I’m more inclined towards the latter because I haven’t played the former since release. It’s just a godawful RPG, if you can even call it that, the game basically plays itself, has no depth whatsoever, the open-world is meaningless and empty of anything interesting. Not to mention the story is both dogshit and a confusing mess nonsensically split between different DLCs, movies and god knows what else. Definitely the worst big budget RPG (again, if you can even call it that) I’ve played so far, it’s borderline insulting. The worst of it all? It was my first Final Fantasy and it was so bad it killed any interest I had in the series.



  • I think that’s more to do with the writing quality than anything, really. As you’ve said, there’s Shonen stuff that isn’t just generic Highschool drama stuff, like HxH and JJK as previously mentioned, but I tend to enjoy Seinen more than the average Shonen because the themes and settings are more relatable to me as an adult.

    And I’m not going to lie, I kind of have a guilty pleasure for some edgy stuff every now and again.
