R: 73 / I: 11Soy culture and the centralization of the Internet
<words words words just put the gems in the thread bludSoy culture can only thrive in a world where anything deemed Right-Wing is frowned upon, and specifically a world dominated by Far-Left ideals and post (judeo) modernist takes. While our world is definitely not a Right Wing paradise, it's also not the same world we knew a year ago.
So what happens when the world moves on, but the culture that was specifically crafted for the old one doesn't?
Easy, it gets rewritten or outright dies. In the case of soy culture, it also depends on the changes of the Internet, and the inherent centralization that X the heckin' everything app is providing, which leads to a bit of contradiction.
How did soy culture become popular on Twitter if it grew up in completely hostile places?
YouTube would be an example, it's incredibly rulecucked but most of the pillars of soy culture are archived there. The answer is that soy culture, real soy culture can only exist in a semi-obscure state. Soy culture was never meant to be mass-appealing (just enough to make the 4trooners seethe) since the masses were, well, soyboys. And yet here we are, all because Twitter is now the Right-Wing site, and soy culture is distinctly RW. There are currently more people who know soy culture on the wider Internet than actual users of the street (formerly 'party).
An app like X is everything an imageboard wants to be: easily accessible, multitude of topics and a fairly free sense of speech. It's not perfect but it doesn't need to be, as long as it's designed as an everyday app, it has notifications, accounts, etc. It even outcompetes Reddit.
You have seen it with 4cuck, X rolled around and every 4cucker who hated da social medias and zoomers soon found himself on X. And it has happened to soy sites too. I could bet a thousand dollars that (You), the person reading this thread also has a Twitter account.
>What does it mean then?That soy culture becomes subservient to a social media.
>And is it bad?Why would anyone use obscure imageboard forums if X provides the same thing but with shiny blue bubbles that tell you when someone replied to you.
But here comes the catch: vibes and feels. The Twitter users KNOW that they're not the real deal so they find themselves in this delusion where they keep browsing the their curated goy app but also want to feel part of the group, and since those people outnumber natives 10:1 it becomes easy to explain things such as the decadence of gem and coal, in favour of aryan or troonslop, why now every 'jak that has to mock someone is brown, purity spirals etc.
It can be excused to an extent for us since we have an entire community that we interact with, on multiple sites, but the Streety? Why would the Streety ever do that?
In fact it doesn't willingly but because of a mix of factors I've listed before.
Soy culture can't move on (slopjaks would be a great example) > soy culture gets cherrypicked by the increasing masses of RW normalfags > displacement begins and so on and on
Just think of the latest additions to soy culture: gigachads riding a fly, total NAS and giga was already squeezed out by 2021, hunky twink sex machine, it's just a jartycuck but since they don't have anyone to blame but themselves it is a thing now. In the entire year of 2025, this is what soy culture produced, NAS and some FOTM self-loathing image.
So how could this change?
It probably won't but as long as Twitter.com exists, things will get worse, until you'll see the aging 'party screencap Twitter threads not in an attempt to mock the wholesome tranny who made the post, but to share it with your SoyTwittersisters and comment upon the latest Twitter Drama.
Not like the Internet will keep existing in the format we know in a year or two geg
