@default_friend I feel like you guys are kinda making the same point. This reads as complement rather than rebuttal

Collected thoughts on the dinergoth piece:

@default_friend I also disagree with separating out the Juggalos. The Juggalo is 100% a subtype of this type of person. They're not *all* Juggalos, but some of them for sure were/are.
It's an "all submarines are sandwiches, but not all sandwiches are submarines" thing.

People keep asking me for my opinion on the dinergoth piece … I have several but will keep it confined to the subculture taxonomy

Ok I’m awake again. Yes. You should. Sam let’s talk

Last comment for now: wrong…

A big factor (and one of many) is that once you go from being an industry/production based society to a service/consumer culture is you don’t identify with what you make but rather what you consume. Downwardly mobiles are always behind so whatever was/is chic, is cargo culted.

Since it’s 3AM I’ll leave it at this for now - I seem to remember the clientele at EB Games, Journeys, and FYE in 2004, vividly… The Sci-Fi Channel’s forays into anime, the type of girls who played MTG in the back of the hobby shop, FurAffinity, and the teen attendees of NYComicCon and PantheaCon… more later…

@LeahLibresco I think it’s more complicated than that (not said with glee, here!) — see VRChat and Roblox

Article I wrote for @tabletmag a few years ago that circles many of the same themes. Mainly for people confused about the true crime framing:
Helen Lewis@helenlewis
It is very strange to publish an article on the gender dynamics of mass shooters and not mention that the two "female" shooters used as flagship examples here were biologically male. Males commit more than 90% of violent crimes.

@Bonecondor @helenlewis @pegobry_en It’s called TCC and it’s distinct from true crime. I’ve reported on it at length for years.
English
@helenlewis @pegobry_en I find it really strange that they called it the “true crime community”. True crime is the ecosystem about real crimes and investigations of them. Whatever subculture/community they’re actually trying to point at, it isn’t the tiktok girlie who wants to solve every murder

I have been dreaming of this day for a long time.
Arena is now a book publisher, and our first volume, "Silicon" is open for preorders.
It's quite unlike anything you've seen: a coffee table book capturing the ecstatic beauty of silicon technology. arenamag.com/silicon

we've reached peak journalism: Vanity Fair wanted to write a feature story about Dario but never got an interview so just asked Claude to make it up

Be Not Conformed—René Girard at the Intersection of Athens, Jerusalem, and Silicon Valley—is out on April 10. It's a new volume of 17 original essays from stellar writers, including @default_friend, @justindeanlee, @anecdotal, and @ByrneHobart that I've edited over the past two years.
(Since it seems relevant: I just ran a search for "Antichrist" in the page proofs, and it turned up 44 results...)
Read more (link in reply), and strap in.
