>>15580271Legitimately i think it's a very interesting thing to study, people who make corporations their entire personality. Corporations who would happily grind them into meat slurry if they thought they'd make a profit from it. Personally i think it comes down to the death of local communities, social groups and social media making it infinitely easier to mark yourself as a fan of x y or z before any other trait, and then because epople get social validation through that it becomes a larger and larger trait that a person latches on to. Weebs and furries were seen as rightful weirdos 15 years ago, but nowadays they're kind of low tier next to people who go hard on disney, musicians or any number of literal who social media influencers
