I used to really like Alternate History because it tickles that autism spot about thinking about historical events in a counterfactual manner. The problem is after you are no longer new to it, the genre becomes extremely gay because every mainstream Alternate History thing has the Whig view of history as its assumption so it's just thinking of novel alternate paths to the globohomo gayplex, unless it's a dystopia like the Draka series which is intentionally structured as a morality play of "le evil Chuds" doing everything in the most sadistic way possible because that's what happens when democracy dies in darkness.

@LouisConde Hey now real communism’s never been tried you know

These faggots will poo-poo the idea that somehow Nationalist China could have ever won the Chinese Civil War, or that the Republic of Vietnam could have limped along into the 21st Century but will gush over a timeline where America has a Communist revolution and it works because they're Trotskyites. It's so fucking stale

@nierenstein You can do Axis Victory timelines, but only if they're portraying the New Order as a hellscape filled with cartoon villains which inevitably collapses because liberalism is the teleology of humanity.

@LouisConde Every time alt history comes up I'm reminded of my friend talking about people getting banned off forums for doing "what if the Madagascar Plan was carried out" because arguing that the Germans ever might have wanted to do anything but total genocide counted as Holocaust denial

@LouisConde also that's probably a troon
-
@SaltWraith Yeah but that's because transgenderism is the Opioid epidemic for autistic people

@LouisConde This is so dumb, who does he think ended segregation, let alone slavery? The South?
