I am obviously a huge Stroud fan, and get that you aren’t supporting the group, or saying you agree with their views, but still referencing them brings attention to the group and is pretty cringe.

If the Vikings fans called themselves Kirk Kousins Kids, or chiefs Kadarius Kelce Killers, or Arryn Rodger’s Nationals people wouldn’t be chill about it.

Just because the “Proud Boys” have a stupid name doesn’t mean they aren’t a huge hate group and using their name to represent us is dumb and makes us look bad.

    Do we wanna name our fandom after a group embarrassed in january? Sounds like an invitation to the football gods

      Touché but imo it’s just fine as an obscure internet meme satirizing pop culture like /r/the_darnold. I wouldn’t be okay with this becoming some cultural force for this team or something Stroud has to hear all the time
