I know I sound like an absolute classic hipster right now who's bitching about their favourite band going mainstream and acting like it's ruined...

Sorta.

But I also get what you're saying. Since Fallout 3, it's not like "Fallout" was exactly fringe, but it's still really weird seeing it be relatively mainstream, and them pushing the various Fallout games and the show and everything.

Nothing has changed, except they released a seemingly mediocre Amazon show. But suddenly everything is Fallout!

...but I'm really feeling empathetic towards those guys right now.

Yup, it does put things in a new light, when you phrase it like that. We mock hipsters, and for some good reasons, but it is also annoying when the thing you and your pals like are suddenly invaded by...normies. Fucking normies. In that context it certainly is easier to empathize with hipsters. Gatekeep, gatekeep, gatekeep.

I bring up Ukraine because...

The really sad part about Ukraine in general is...a bunch of people are still dying over there, but it's much less Current Thing than it was, so the hardcore Slava Ukrainists don't even give much of a shit anymore, because they were actually just Current Thingists. I'd actually respect them more if they were still shilling Ukraine hard. I remember that struck me during one of the big offenses, when it seemed like a ton of people were dying. I was just like...at this point, I care more just on general anti-war grounds, than the staunchest Ukraine supporter. Bruh...your side is out there fighting and dying, and you don't give a shit. It was pretty depressing to realize that those fucking normies were even more useless than I had assumed. And that's a low bar.

I'm not either side, and I'm mostly just anti-senseless-death, but I think Ukraine is a corrupt shithole, and Russia has its problems but I can see where they're coming from. So when I, an accused "Russian Sympathizer™," care more about the Ukrainians being slaughtered than the retards with the blue and yellow flags...yeah...not a good look.

...pretending they love Fallout...just because it hit the trending pages.

Again...gatekeep, gatekeep, gatekeep.

You know it's going to happen with Warhammer and the shills will be out in force next right? We've all seen it coming but I feel like the Warhammer bullshit is going to sting particularly hard.

Man, it's depressing. They ruin shit I'm not even super involved with. I've barely played the tabletop, don't have my own miniatures or anything, but generally enjoy the setting. I'm a self-professed casual enjoyer.

I don't have any bona fides, but Warhammer must be saved...but probably won't be. They'll get another one, most likely.

These people don't fucking have hobbies so they've got to go and ruin everyone else's and that goes for the people who aren't leftists as well.

I call these scumfucks 'locusts' for a reason.

Ohhhh fuck no, I don't want to see all the cosplaying noooo...

At least you can't woke-up 40k too bad in the visual sense. It's not 40k at that point. It's part of why it withstood the assault as long as it did...it's about fucking Space Fascists. Gay Sparkling Tranny Space Fascism just doesn't have the same ring to it, or visual recognition.

Warhammer is falling, but I believe will still put up a fight. Because the setting is inherently based.

I think it got the Skyrim rub with basic fans knowing Fallout is a thing and thirsting for more since that last game sucked.

Also, Fallout 4 sold really well and a basic bitch game if there ever was one. Perfect for the mainstream audience.

Again, it's not exactly fringe, but it's no CoD, or Battle Royale Flavor of the Week, or anything, either.
