Geeks + G*mers, I recognize them, a reactionary channel that tries to appear normal by having a bland sounding name.

They do this as a strategy of setting their standards as the cultural norm for the group. Audience members go on to act like what they heard is totally normal, and it normalises the behaviour and views.

Eventually the end goal is spewing rword and nwords as totally and completely normal behaviour, thus shift cultural norm.
