My instinct is ESL. He uses past tense "was" but rarely conjugates the following verbs to also be past tense. This strikes me as Chinese grammar where verbs are not conjugated themselves, they just include a grammatical particle that signifies the sentence is past/future tense.
was view - X
was known - O
to be make fun of - X
was view - X
was perceive - X
This may be pedantic, but I would also start the quotes at "that" in "that one group of people."
That article is just filled with weirdo phrases that aren't present in English.
to the very tattoos on our very skin
We wouldn't say "very" twice here
Post 1960s AD
We wouldn't say "AD" in a casual article like this, and we would call it the 1960s.
the image of the Geek/nerd/Trekkie, is one who is highlighted by his artifacts, his living room is always shown full with action figures, spaceship modules, and a obsession with a fictional universe than anything but real.
Highlighted by his artifacts? "Full with" instead of "full of" "a obsession" "than anything but real."
JUST IN THE FIRST PARAGRAPH. This article is insane.
like all mega Hambugerian corporate I.Ps it must be under H.R regulation to be “inclusive”, whatever “inclusive” actually impose to means.
That so great about vague words, they could mean whatever the powers at be want them to be.
with the release of Marvel’s the Avengers, the year 2012AD was pronounce as the year when “Nerd Culture Become mainstream”.
As stated in the classic film Man In Black “A person is based, but people are cringe”.
What in the fuck am I reading.
As “Nerd” stuff take took-over the Hot Topics, and began to inflect all those other mall stores,
He's badly referencing a quote from the first MIB movie.
Edwards : Why the big secret? People are smart. They can handle it.
Kay : A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow.
As badly worded and autistic as that point comes across, he's not wrong. Take a bunch of seemingly based individuals, put them in a group, and massive cringe will emerge quickly. It's called "podcasting."
Eh.... I don't that's the dunk you think it is. I haven't been in a mall in about ten years※ but I would not be surprised at all if there is Sailor Moon, MLP, and Rey-Wars junk in Hot Topic.

※Scheels doesn't count.
I mean the whole article, it's filled with so much bizarre Engrish and it then turns into talking about Gnosticism towards the end.
For anyone curious (and brave enough), here is hot topic's website today: http://archive.ph/HZycK
Of course it'd be fucking One Piece.
