Tl;dr – Do you think most of the “geek”/”nerd” culture you see online and on other people’s profiles has little difference from SJW culture?
At this point, I think anyone who was an actual nerd/geek who didn't always consume "popular" media growing up would recognize that, in the past six years, a lot of people in what was then and is now sort of becoming "popular" media who may have started out as "edgy" and actually entertaining have progressively shown their true colors over the past 6 years. And if there's any list that honestly puts it all out there on who in modern social media is a SJW, it's OneAngryGamer and his "Traitors of America" list:

If you look at the majority of the e-celebs on the list (because of course the popular companies are gonna be liberal), you'll notice a profile; does non-essential work that doesn't contribute anything of real value to our country, they complain about how America is every -ism, and Republicans are every -ist in the book, and a lot of them are revered in geek/nerd/outcast culture. They all support every other this or that group except for the one that they themselves are part of.
Now, I don't know about you, but honestly, if it came between I:
+Being able to speak his mind, +To be who he wants to be, +And, quite frankly, to just be myself
As opposed to:
-Having to be the voice of several brands and a platform for the ability to make money obsessing over what are, to be quite honest, mostly children/teenage/young-adult-at-most pieces of media, brands, and various other "objects," that companies are looking to sell, regardless if it's you saying the words they want you to say. -Being told that I have to devote my time to this or that lest you draw the ire of not only the company, but your customers as well, who, in the case of these YT celebrities, given how much they change with the tides of what’s popular to “stay relevant,” isn’t really them “being their own boss,” as much as they like to boast about to their NPC subscribers. -Running the risk of having too much information about your private life coming out due to your status as a “celebrity” coming with rumors, people talking about this or that behind your back, drama, and everything else in between.
When looking at both of these lists, and given my observations about most of these Youtube creators in addition to other related individuals/organizations, it makes you wonder if the leftists are using people like SomeCallMeJohnny to promote “All Lives Can’t Matter until Black Lives Matter” in the beginning of his latest video in addition to other people using the same catchphrase like this art-oriented girl here (who’s only a customer service manager who I can imagine complains a lot about customers being “entitled” when I’m sure it’s just her being bad at her job):

Given all of this, am I the only one who’s noticed that, over the years, a lot of “nerd/geek” culture is just the same thing as SJW culture, and that there’s nothing original about it in any form?
IKR!? I mean, outside of some individuals like James Rolfe of AVGN fame who actually pursued film and managed to become successful and hasn't really said anything super political (no, I don't count the SJW media getting their panties twisted over him not really liking the direction of the Female Ghostbusters and how he simply just wanted to see a Ghostbusters 3 with the original cast, Harold Ramos notwithstanding due to his death), most of these guys started out as copycats doing the same thing he was doing because it was the thing to do in the late 2000's.
Then, this opened up a wormhole to where, if the AVGN can get all angry, why not get analytical with stuff like Game Theory, theories about Pokemon/Sonic/Silent Hill/whatever else was popular enough to be a video topic that, given the correct production values on someone's free time, they could have gotten a bunch of viewership...except that viewership was mostly of people who came for the content they were interested in, not the Raycon/VPN/BLM charity promotions/price discounts that you see in every popular Youtube creators' videos nowadays.
And given that these brands they're getting sponsored by all tend to be very liberal if not outright leftist in their support in the wake of recent events, it really puts into perspective the idea of culture being downstream!
