[QUOTE="BortimusPrime, post: 990012, member: 2248"] Honestly fantasy stuff like comic books, D&D, RPGs, etc. are essentially lost to the culture at this point. Frankly there's no conspiracy at work to steal fantasy escapism from fat white male nerds either. What happened is that fat white male nerds created this stuff, but to their misfortune fantasy escapism is just the sort of subculture that appeals to the blue-haired pervert brigade. While a 14 year old white kid wants to roleplay a Paladin to pretend he's a guy with pectoral muscles instead of adolescent gynecomastia, Rainbow from tumblr also wants to roleplay and has no tolerance for the vestigial masculine fantasies that existed in the genre. So the nerds either have to remake themselves into appeasing eunuchs like Sensitive Joss Whedon, or abandon the subculture in favor of more productive hobbies like hen teasing or scrimshaw. Ultimately this isn't a bad thing. Think about how many millennial males burned away their youths with World of Warcraft. I say let this crap go to the wierdos, and they can segregate themselves from the general population in the future with virtual realities that let them indulge their fantasy of being a unicorn with an inside-out pee pee.
