Weebs are just a subgroup of nerds. And every group of people mentioned in this comment section(gamers, furries, ecc.), too. Nerds are the natives of the Internet. Stop fighting each other.
But the broader visibility out of the niches is a more recent phenomenon. I’m around the net since the early bulletin boards thanks to my really forward looking parents. And jeah. I’ve seen shit early on. But furries are something that I’ve first encountered in their recent form in the late 2000s early 2010s. Andnthat was about 20 years after the first acoustic coupler sounds rang through my parents living room. And I sure as hell didn’t shy away from all the places where they could have been encountered.
The natives of the internet are mainly coders from universities, they were the first ones online and they built the protocols we use to communicate. Their code is still in use. They wrote the RFC’s that govern everything.
I used the internet before it had images, it was simply text. So nah. Also this is extremely distasteful and disrespectful to indigenous peoples, even for a shitpost.
….People pointing out that it is potentially offensive to make disposable jokes about actual genocide and land theft of indigenous peoples just to make a lazy punchline!?!?
I might as well go cancel my dog next, nobody is safe.
