No.
GOTO Hell is BASIC.
For me, it was simply that “BASIC” was spelled in capital letters. That’s generally how you spell it when referring to the programming language…

I hope the things you like get mistaken in the news as white supremacist-related, then nazis all pile on until nobody can enjoy it any more.
It’s usually the other way around. The nazis slowly corrupt a community that consists mostly of one of their target groups, pushing out people who are aware of their dogwhistles because, well, they’re clearly nazis, and is not going to recognize that or listen to you, as they wouldn’t make a good target group otherwise.
Then, if they succeed, at some point it gets bad enough that the media notices, after which the nazis go “look at the silly liberals, thinking everyone is racist these days” and get a lot more open, thereby pushing out the last few people who were initially oblivious to there fascism, or forcing them to endure fascist rethoric to enjoy their hobby’s community.
K-On is one of my favorite guilty pleasure shows, and for some reason saying that now makes people suspect I’m a Nazi.
I ain’t letting them have this one. It’s a stupid show about high schoolers drinking tea and playing music, dammit.
Memes. They hijack pop culture and turn it into a dogwhistle, like if you’ve seen people randomly saying “is that a jojos reference?” underneath some worryingly bigoted comment on youtube, they’re trying to indicate that they’re a fellow right wing asshole. For a long time “subscribe to pewdiepie” was used. Both references had some nazi connection, like jojos had a nazi character, and pewdiepie flirted with nazi stuff in a deniable way.
The point is that it’s silly and innocuous so that if anybody tries to call it out then they can just gaslight them and point out how silly it is, and they’re clearly making something out of nothing.
“Gay coated” is just an amazing eggcorn that I have never heard before.
So eggcorns are misheard phrases that are then reinterpreted in a way that still makes sense in context, and that video makes the point that they’re not actually wrong, and sometimes they can compete with the original phrase.
The original term is “gay coded”, as in the creators have used commonly recognised “code” to signal that the characters are gay.
But I actually love the idea that they’re just slathered in the gay, just lubed up head to toe.
Happens to me all the time with music. Be jamming out to a song I’ve loved for years, right when my fav. artist dropped the album. Then tiktok plays the one hook from one song on their album and people always ask “Oh! Did you hear that on tikTok?!” … No…no…no 🙄
That has happened to me so much in recent years, both with clipped songs and bands/artists I like becoming popular. I don’t hold myself with any music pretention, and the vast majority of my “underground” discoveries are just random chance and Spotify algorithm. There is no way I have found to explain “no, I’ve been listening to them since [insert album]” that hasn’t been met with some form of hipster comment.
“I’m not intentionally trying to be better than you, I just happen to be better than you at finding good music on my own”
Oh wait you said not be met with a hipster comment
I mean, there’s definitely a skill to finding new good music. I’m not very good at it but I wish I was, it’s kind of difficult.
Maybe you don’t have to tell people anything at all about how you discovered good music?
“Oh, did you hear about them on TikTok?”
What?
“TikTok. You probably heard that song on TikTok.”
Oh ok. I really like their new album. I also enjoy [insert other music you like].
“Yeah, I heard it on TikTok. I really love the 20 version I’ve heard replayed thousands of times.”
Cool. Have a good day.
And why does that impact your enjoyment? Did the song change? Did your ears change?
It sounds like you care too much about the opinions and experiences of others.
Back in the 90s, saying the earth was flat meant you were open to talking through hypothetical science and creating wild theories. You knew the truth, but you never wanted to break kafabe. The sheer sillyness was part of the fun.
Today, saying the earth is flat means youre a flat out moron who lacks other critical thinking skills. It’s a warning sign that you also have other troubling thoughts.

See, this is what I thought we were doing back then too, but I’ve got a different hypothesis. I believe many of the people we were talking to back then actually really did believe it. I don’t think people were any more level-headed back then than they are now – we just assumed they were joking because that’s what we were doing.
GOTO Hell isn’t correct and will lead to a syntax error
20 GOTO 4311 is technically correct but you’re actually going to hell for writing your script this way.
