Try being a Warhammer 40k enjoyer. Some people forget that humanity are STILL BAD GUYS in 40k.

We come from the land of the ice and snow, from the midnight sun where the hot springs flow

Something about people finding someone who shares their interest in hobby and immediately starts to question them politically amuses me.

As someone who casually enjoys 40K, it has a tendency to attract some of the most rancid people. OSR has this problem too sometimes, but its not nearly as bad as 40k. And the general RC hobby. Part of the reason i don't fly fpv drones as much as I'd like too, can't stand the chuds at the airfield I've never met a more unhappy group of people, and they don't even fly anything there either!

Yeah I'm not here for this. I just felt this massive wave of fatigue wash over me as I read it.

Like it or not you're going to run into weirdos in just about every hobby. All preemptively judging people does is teach people to keep to themselves. We're already building up a society of loners where people struggle to connect to each other with various other causes(loss of third places for example). We don't really need something like this pushing people further apart, especially when that ultimately drives peoples empathy for each other down too.

Not as bad, but people interested in Ancient Greece / Rome / classical studies tend to be somewhat conservative. It's (to some extent) the only part of academia which is overtly conservative.

But yeah, you can do a lot worse, that's relatively mild
