What's the worst, most dweeb thing you secretly love?

the slop tap is back on, lets get a big open embarrassing thread going

What's the most cringe-inducing, not discussed in irl circles shit that you actually think "No, I actually love this"?

For me, it's the Tuvan Republic National Anthem. This shit goes incredibly hard, but loving it does make me feel like a child who blasts the soviet anthem out of a bluetooth speaker in school to be annoying.

I've never even played EU4, this just rocks enough to show up in my youtube suggestions.

What's your secret shame of enjoyment?

Everything I like is cool because I make it cool by liking it 😎

I don't mean this as a flex or anything lol, but I don't get too worried about what I like. Maybe it's the autism, but I just like what I like and don't mind talking about it.
- Same! I put pineapple in my pizza because I like it and do not care what anyone thinks, they aren't eating it.
  
  I mean I genuinely believe this one is fake and a meme. Nobody has ever gotten mad at me for having Hawaiian pizza, but maybe that’s a west coast sensibility
  To the extent it’s real, it’s just some NY Italians doing a bit

I've no shame so I can't join in 😔

- extremely cringe

I read so much fanfiction holy shit. I'm on a Danny Phantom kick right now.
Did you know Danny is transmasc? At least, that's the phandom consensus.
- I read so much fanfiction holy shit
  me toooo! went back on cyberpunk 2077 kick after a half a year to gobble up all the new fics. Songbird/FemV is the goat pairing and you cannot change my view
- If you haven't heard this already you must hear it now
  
  I have! 💕
  Also, Danny is exactly the kind of teen that listens to nu metal.

Trench Crusade. It's not that I wouldn't discuss it, but nobody in my real-life circles would bring up something that I can use to casually ask them "What if we cloned Christ and cannibalised the clones to gain his powers so that we could stop the forces of hell that have invaded the holy land?". I'm not Catholic, none of my friends are Catholic, I can't just ask them "Is Warhammer 40k not Catholic enough for you?".
- Which faction would you run? I’m torn between the crunchy fun of NA fireteams, the sheer amount of creative nonsense the IS allows. And the sheer bullshit the courts have available. The artillery witch speaks for herself as a reason to run heretics, but the lore is kinda weak atm.
  
  Oh Trench crusade is super promising. If I had to start I would either go with Heretics or the Iron Sultanate....kinda depends what my buddy wants to play though.
  I assume the lore is gonna get stronger/deeper with time. They are churning it out at a steady rate afaik.
  
  I don't know how the tabletop game would play out- my only Warhammer experience is through the video games and reading about the lore- but the Iron Sultanate and Cult of the Black Grail both have such fun units.

My fiancé is French 😂
- I am French
  and there is nothing more dweeby I can say
  
  Damn
- New site tagline?

gigachads are funny; but gigachad lenin is hot. lol

i find myself watching "react" content late at night when high some times. Then I see my history the next day and am like what the fuck. Why did I watch this
- that's pretty fucked, at least watch like angular or express content too to mix it up sometimes
  
  wish it was anything other than brainrot about music teachers reacting to nu metal

I used to like amvs, like pre timeskip Naruto vs Sasuke with Linkin Park's In the End playing. I say that out loud, whatever. What I like currently and don't talk about is anime inspired music. Fabvl, Divide Music, and AmaLee make their way into so many of my playlists. There was this person, AniLifts, who puts anime speeches over hardstyle that gave me a bunch of PBs on squats and deadlifts in the gym. You pretend the hardstyle is in your muscles and you can lift anything.

And I'd be foolish if I didn't mention Fabvl's brilliant portrayal of Kakashi, Obito, and Minato. Note that you MUST listen to Kakashi before Obito.

- Did you know that Andrew WK made an album of Gundam songs?
  
  And that it fucking rules? When I get set up and can get sampling and playing and recording my Zeta Gundam album is gonna tear people apart.
  
  WHAT
  
  WHAT?! How have I not heard about this before? Gonna go listen to it immediately
  
  I found it and I'll give it a listen! Thank you!

I love other women

competitive pokemon battling. Well, I don't really enjoy it that much anymore but it's just something I kinda do when I need some mental stimulation but too low energy to focus on a book or something pokemonshowdown.com
Used to regularly be top 500 in randbats and OU so I used to be pretty into it, keeping up with the meta, etc.
- What gen? I’m on the top 100 ladder for ADV/Gen 3
  
  I played OU gens 5-7
  Randbats like half the gens between 5 and now

Unironically really enjoy a bunch of 90's Eurobeat and regularly listen to it while working. I don't care if they're meme songs, they're sick as fuck.

I listened to this absolute banger in my car recently and for like the past week I've been jamming out non-stop to meme remixes from 10+ years ago. One of my favorite genres of music for sure.
C'mon, let's go find an octagon!

- Fun fact: Mowtendoo is now the co-founder and CMO of the largest US-based VTuber agency, VShojo.

I actually enjoy watching south park
- One of the most interesting uses of that meme format. How bold! An artistic adventure
  
  MLP is really good, too
- Some crimes can never be forgiven westerner

I've started sometimes watching old Dunkey videos when doing something that doesn't require my full attention.

Lips of an Angel is an objectively terrible song and yet I'm voluntarily listening to it right now
- ...terrible to who?
- I blame Nina/Mata. It's not the kind of song I'd normally listen to but I can't help but feel warmly about it by association.
  But at least we got an Enna cover out of it! I could listen to her sing just about anything. (also that Fauna cover](https://youtube.com/watch?v=0gD3nvk_h5M) where she realizes in real time that it's a song about cheating lmao)
  I guess that reveals my own probably-most-dweeb thing: VTubers. Not that I'm particularly secretive about it on here (although I usually use spoiler tags in the General Megathread to protect the innocent as well as give myself a false sense of privacy), but while my IRL friends know about it it's not something I can actually talk about with them. Idk, I think it's fun for people to become anime and have neat outfits and stuff, and while they're not much different from normal streamers for the most part, there are some VTuber-specific conventions that I like, particularly the emphasis on music and visual art. And while the corpo VTubers are under some restrictions that are super annoying, one thing I actually like is that they don't/can't do react content; I get the appeal, but it's just not for me, and I find a lot of streamers lean way too heavily on it.
