Something Awful This Way Comes ft. Nate Bethea
Added 2021-11-23 11:31:31 +0000 UTCThis week, Nate (@inthesedeserts) comes back on the Posts Pod to tell us about some internet history, and this little forum you might have heard of called "Something Awful". Following the death of Something Awful's founder, "Lowtax", Nate tells us how the forums shaped much of contemporary internet culture, ranging from terms like 'doxxing' and the ubiquity of trolls, to Lolcats, gifs, and uh, a lot of racism and Nazi insignia. But, it did also give us Dril, so who's to say if it was good or bad???

I would really, really love to have an episode on the history of fandom with a long term fandom person as a guest. Lots of people - men in particular - think very, very poorly of it and I would like to see a somewhat (of course not entirely, fandom can be dreadful) positive view on it.
