Either an article that gave some objective measure of these things would be interesting or a book that gave a lot of anecdotes and details around a particular phenomena like this might worth the read. But for an article like this I can only shrug.
- zozbot234 7y agoI mean, you'd expect some heavy cliches seeing as it's describing a pretty well-known social phenomenon - usually called entryism. And the really sad thing about it all is that it isn't even sociopaths doing it. It's your average "cool" kids, basically MOP's who are just a tiny bit better at the popularity-contest game. Actual sociopaths wouldn't know what to do with your average geeky subculture, even one where the normies have started to show up pretty heavily. So the "filter" is working quite well actually (it's one of the things that attract savvy normies to geeky subcultures in the first place!), it's just not nearly enough.

Yes but the point is that the things that people think they already know and understand are the things whose truth we should be most dubious about. These kinds of reactions could just as much be our own automatic, reflexive sorting of people into in and out groups rather than the way things are actually happening at any one time.
