Interesting piece by Alice Sibley and @joshuabowes.bsky.social about how the far right in the UK are using Grok.

The gift of reading is the best gift of all 📚

Great piece by @joshuabowes.bsky.social on how the far right appropriates anime aesthetics and sometimes the wider subcultures of anime fandom.

A really interesting read, that hints at the potential correlative appeal to loneliness between fan service in anime and the extreme right.

Outstanding work by @joshuabowes.bsky.social, an up-and-coming extremism scholar. Ties together Gamergate, anime, chan culture, idealization of Japan as an ethnostate, and far-right ideology.

After months of thinking about anime and extremism, I'm pleased to share my latest work for the Global Network on Extremism & Technology (GNET). gnet-research.org/2024/12/19/a...
