The "cool hacker" stereotype was an invention by Hollywood. Real life hackers were obese, greasy dorks wearing oversized loungewear to work and arguing whether LISP or C was the better programming paradigm or some other stupid minutiae.

Plus media always showcased hackers inputting commands into a black tty screen. When in reality its sysadmins that would be doing that and actual pentesters use gui tools on kali.

R. U. Sirius was a larper who had a failed music career and slightly successful publishing career who read Neuromancer and decided that cyberspace was the "new punk rock" and tried to position himself as the Malcolm McLaren of cyberspace

Actual hackers looked like this

The "hacker" subculture was just a means to sell products to consumers who had no need of them. Look at the OP pic and count the number of almost useless niche gadgets.

Hackers became infested with the troon and anime virus.
Kill anime, remove troon infestation from brains and return to normal.

Members of The Inner Circle, a group of mostly teenage hackers who were arrested by the FBI in 1983 in one of the first crackdowns

Hackers should be mostly-straight monsterfuckers (slitfucking allowed). No anime, no trannies, no girl monsters, no furries.

Media has planted the seed that women are the true girlboss hackers! Men in tech are now portrayed as incels, which is only marginally true, as most of those incels hopped on HRT and are now unfortunately trannies.

We started living in the dystopian cyberpunk future and realized it was pretty fucking gay.

They were all arrested or suicided out.
>Where did it all go wrong?
They attracted attention from the governments.

Fleet week is upcoming, then - now they're closed.
