>>576 >Their taste can also be vary shallow and navie perceptions of what counts as progressive/good for whatever cause their shrilling for at the moment in the first place. Glorified tokenism and shrilling that they often like in heavy dosages will easily look dated in a generation or so reguardless if things are right, left or centerist leaning at that time
It goes way beyond the point of politics. I know they want to force and shoehorn them into being progressive. The main problem is the excessive hype out of them as you said. Who will remember SU for having a lesbian couple? Me probably because I've seen the overyhype in /co/ and mentioned a lot but another who has no idea about SU, will most likely remember it because of the characters or the songs. It can serve as a shilling point at the time, but at a long term, try it again and see yourself failing at attracting anyone.
>Youtube is more a reflection of mass media and culture rather then leaving it's own mark. It will be interesting to see how it ages It's basically an instant product that only Celestia (or our goddess Umbridge) will know how it will reflect over time. Only a couple of memes like He Man will be reproduced over the years. I will dare to say that 4chan has a longer period because of its constant repetition and culture surrounding them. The others are just...there for a while. The content that will be remembered over time is usually the most unexpected one that wasn't meant to be one. A good example of it: "An A press is an A press, you can't say it's only a half." "But first,we need to talk about parallel universes".
The parodies and popular explosion from it was overwhelming to watch....but that's cheating because /v/ helped.
