Victoria and I have been deep in the internet fandom trenches for a decade, so, we're talking about being raised by the internet and how it was actually beneficial for our knowledge of the world. We discuss our very early introduction to internet culture, leading into 2010s Tumblr feminism and social justice warriors and how we think the push of alt right ideas re-emerged online (blame PewDiePie).
