>>2419327Simple. The same thing that happened to the woods happened to /out/ - the normies found it. You can blame the burgeoning prepper strain of American politics as people feel society buckle and groan under the weight of its contradictions, sending the /pol/tards here in droves, and Covid forcing yuppiefaggots to hit the trail or shrivel up in their apartment from lack of contact with their fellow gay entities.
Something very similar happened to /lit/ a few years ago. Once the masses discover your subculture, it's co-opted, repackaged, and sold before you can blink. And you suddenly find the people surrounding you are, again, unbearable yuppie faggots and double-digit IQ Billy Joes. Nerd and video game culture is yet another example. This shit has been going on since the beginning of time. The herd stampedes whatever it finds.
