UK Lolitics and AI

Once upon a time, in the year 2010, a coalition government formed in the UK, and at the same time, probably in the Rose Garden, the UK lolitics fandom came spontaneously into being (mostly on Livejournal, some vids on Youtube). If Fandom is always a critique on Canon, there's no better example than UK lolitics fandom, where G to NC-17 and everything from murder mystery to steampunk AU fics were written anonymously in very long fic threads in the lj comm with the tagline "WE ARE CREEPY, BUT WE FEEL QUITE BAD ABOUT IT." Arguably, it's essentially a Fandom of Satires.

I mention this now because the main pairing at the time were the central figures of the central coalition government. Let's keep to the spirit of Anon and not name names, but "Clameron" was actually a thing. And somehow, in the way where chaos will always return order due to human need for narratives, at the time, a "Canon" emerged from RPS of literally, the highest order, that's one third Realpolitks, one third fandom fantasies, and a third of what turned out to be semi-prophetic musings of the fandom.

Never mind that Boris actually became PM, it seems that now one half of the pairing has retired, the other instead of fading into obscurity as once upon a time real-life might've been predicted, he's SELLING FACEBOOK AI TO DEFENSE COMPANIES.

I am very tempted, at this point, to go back and find the cyberpunk plot where there was, indeed, futuristic weapon trading, if only to reassure myself that it's only a story, the world won't end. A fandom cannot be a Cassandra. It's just confirmation bias. After all, unique among all the fandoms of the 2000s, and 2010s, it was a fandom built solely to deal with dread (by being creepy)
