>>35627943It's a hostile takeover and has been for the last 10 years. I've seen dipshits say that spergs aren't nerds, because the term 'nerd' has changed connotations to low IQ teenagers to mean a person who likes shit like anime, rather than a weirdo in a dark brick and mortar traditional games and comic books/anime store, rolling the die for his female elven warrior which he has drawn fanart of to get fucked by the tentacle monster.
The 'old fanbase' of nerdy middle aged men is being driven out by trenders and ironic weeaboos, hence the hostility. It is a "war" of "ethnic cleansing" against a "native population" by outsiders who want what they have.
