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 but I'm really feeling empathetic towards those guys right now. I bring up Ukraine because it was funny how everyone with access to an internet connection suddenly had an opinion on it even though they obviously couldn't point to it on a map much like with Israel-Palestine.
It was this sort of thing that got me pretty red pilled on the commentating crowd because even people who should have known better to shut their mouths and at least do some studying first had to pump out their videos to meet the demands of the stupid keyword algorithms.
Same thing is happening with Fallout now and all of a sudden the fucking hair twirlers are pretending they love Fallout and videos are going to be pumped out left and right talking about how amazing the Fallout games are just because it hit the trending pages. This wouldn't be such a bad thing by itself because it would fade off eventually but now you've got these fuckers who are going to sit there trying to flex to everyone who the biggest Fallout fan is.
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. 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.
Ohhhh fuck no, I don't want to see all the cosplaying noooo it just entered into my head what they're going to do for Halloween :(
That is both one hundred percent accurate, and beside the point.
What I'm getting at is, the most ardent "Ukraine supporters" seemingly stopped caring, even as more and more Ukrainian bodies got stacked high. Fucking pisses me off, and I'd actually respect them more if they had any sort of attention span to care about Current Thing for longer than they were told to.
That might be the funniest and saddest part...I still don't think Russia even wanted all of Ukraine anyway. I think they might very well have been satisfied with Donetsk and Luhansk...those ethnically Russian zones that Ukraine had already been bombing the shit out of for a decade, and that seemingly wanted to join Russia. They already took Crimea and Sevastopol. They don't need Ukraine. Perhaps I'm wrong, perhaps they would have kept going. There are tons of resources to take there. Either way, you're right, it's not our conflict to begin with.
