It’s reddit speak. It’s this sort of waffling, half ironic, noncommittal tone instead of directness and confidence. But it’s spread from reddit to the whole bugman left.

The average person is opposed to all the things he listed, because they were told to be. Does that mean
>This is actually super mainstream and all the normies are gonna go out and buy it in droves?
No, that doesn’t follow.
>Also the SJW idiots are a vocal minority, most aren't actually that fucking extreme
It’s not about SJWism, anti-rightwing sentiment is the mainstream, default position.

the racial anxiety, the unabashed exotic orientalism, the aestheticised trauma of modernity and technics, the fixation on biological degeneration and violence, the contempt for woman, and the throbbing homoerotic undertones were precisely what made those tales 'weird' and tillitating to the 20th century american boys. Pulp fiction reflected in popular form the same eldritch vibrations that were being picked up at the time by Spengler, Nietszche, Marinetti. The art style and themes are like a pop art american interpretation of the european decadents, art deco and expressionism, Robert E Howard witnessed the first Texas oil boom in his youth.

Nerd culture is an infantilising means of dealing with modernity and screening out all psychosexual and historical horror with cheery ironic pop culture. The emphasis on moral purity and didactic politics is to be expected. Nowadays, alienated youth seeks tilitation elsewhere. Now that I think about it, seems like Nick Land and co. really are our Lovecraft. The problem with SF is the people who write about wonderful things and strange new worlds ended up being the most banal and sheltered people around, focused on representing themselves as sci fi writers upstanding members of a liberal community, ie. the total inverse of the CCRU's hyperstitional LARPing which knows you have no choice but to represent real life through sci fi.

Pulp carries the heroic mythos, which was pushed aside in the arts as it was "fascistic", but the attempts at subversion always failed because of how primal the pulp is.

Even in something that early dominated by leftists as comic books - Capitan America is obviously superhero from the jews, for the jews, for these who understand the implications of his character but for a 12 years old boy reading comics he's that cool guy dressed in American colours and symbols who beats up Germans(or other perceived enemies). They don't look at it as a symbolic refutation of The American Ideal defeating the Nazis, they see it as warrior of our tribe beats up warriors of other tribes. Judge Dredd is obviously a caricature, but that caricature caught on because when taken on face value, people kind of liked the dude. He's square but in 1960's or 1970's, with the rampant crime explosion, you wish your local policemen were similarly shaped.
