Does anyone know how all these yuppies and fandom tourists got into Doom in the first place? It used to just be autistic baby boomers and some Gen Xers who played it when it came out. Now it's Millennial and Zoomer trannies and shit. I don't get it.

It's pretty hard to pinpoint exactly when these people arrived, when I first heard of doom it was around the very early 10's. I never saw these retards before and most people who are into doom and I happened to see are metalheads and edgelords so that's why I thought that's what Doom community consists of. But those aren't the people you see on Doomworld so maybe it's a special case.
What I'm certain of is these some of these guys are even there as early as the 2000's but they aren't into this lefty degenerate rhetoric and were on the right side of the political spectrum like Scuba Steve and to lesser extent, Rachel/Eruanna if you go by his trolling days.
Speaking of Rachel, there's a moment of small basedness in this:
By the gods! Rachel being rational? Anyways, this is a really funny situation. The mod lets you have Isabelle as a companion where she'll throw items at the player to help and kill some enemies. If you look around there's an easter egg of Isabelle sucking the player's dick. There's sprites and coding inside the file, but it's not entirely visible to anyone unless you know what to do, that is by summoning some "pickup" item and getting it. Then getting close to Isabelle.
It's an easter egg and anyone who doesn't know how to dissect the files won't see anything, but on the other hand, why put something like that there? Oh, the author is a furry, that's why.

Doom was huge, bro, there had never been a videogame like it by December 10, 1993. The shareware was free, coming with the full first episode, and you were encouraged to share it with anyone and everyone, so on top of really high sales figures, so many people got exposed to Doom because you could get (part of) an incredibly cool and super advanced game for free.
Hell, if you already had a decent enough computer at home, at school, or your workplace, here was a radical game you could try out at no cost. Another big deal was the online multiplayer, which got vastly more accessible with the launch of the DWANGO service (following shortly after Doom 2 and Heretic), letting you play multiplayer with random people in your region. That's not to talk about all the console ports, and all the media controversy over the violence and satanic imagery.
On top of being groundbreaking, it also set in stone many of the important ground principles of first person shooters, for being one of the pioneers, it does its job at an incredible level of competence. The game is still really fun today, and you can see that by shoving the game into the hands of a zoomer today, where they'll actually fucking get it, which isn't something that can be said for many, MANY other old games which are immortal classics in their own right. Then there's the whole part where if you like the game, there's now 28 years of fan made content, some which is incredibly good, better than the original game itself, many times, so if you want more, you'll never run out.
I could keep going with factors like how by the late 90s this was a good game you could run flawlessly on a poverty computer in the third world, and pirating it was trivial, so you see it linger there as well, but from my autistic tl;dr ramblings, you get the picture that this was a great game which was very widely accessible, and which never truly went away.
Thus Doom already has a huge legacy and word of mouth from older generations, then eventually comes Doom 4, in 2016, and this brings in a lot of new attention to classic Doom again. For a long time, the core fanbase which still played it actively had narrowed down some, but part of ZeniMax's marketing was to shine a spotlight on the original games and play a lot on nostalgia (in a pretty shallow way, admittedly), but as they made it even more available with some good ports, that strokes more interest.
I think that a lot of these dicks do have a genuine love for the game, few of them are posers (certainly not the ones who have been regulars on Doomworld since the 90s and 2000s). I'd be very surprised if a faggot like Alison or Rachael didn't actually enjoy playing the game and modding it, because they've been around doing so for a long time.
Rather, these people were always assholes in one way or another, or they were crazy all the time, and as they grew older, and as this stupid cultural war potatoes out of control. they bare their true colors.

I imagine it's also due in part to how Doom is at an intersection between programming autists (Doom's engine is open source) and retrogamers, two groups which themselves are full of trannies and the like. Doomworld being run by goons only amplifies that.
I'd think it's just that people these days are too afraid to be a little more real with themselves these days, for a reason. Any scrutiny or criticism is taken as a personal attack, and... we can see how this ends up being, where even mentioning someone in a negative light on an internet gossip forum makes them lose their shit, because one can't do that anywhere else anymore. It'd probably come under some bullshit like bullying, transphobia or whatever else of an excuse to ban you, where it wasn't even the point of the problem.
Now add on top of that the whole tribalism and suddenly they're okay with kicking their """friend""" into a curb who was only used as an emotional sponge to carry their burdens, but the moment he couldn't take it anymore - they had to chimp out to the point there was nothing to salvage there. The sex pest is just the cherry on top, cause they'd probably feel more inclined on protecting him.

The Doom troon clique and lefty clowns like to talk about harassment and the like but everyone was mum about Term. Lately there hasn't been anything about him too and his departure wasn't even told by everyone on the servers, or their forums. Yeah, they know exactly who that sex pest is but are quiet for some reason and it's not the good kind.
Who do you think is the sex pest?
It's pretty hard to guess since it can be pretty much everyone with the stuff we have right now, which is pretty much almost nothing but if I'm to approach it with the silence with Term's problem I'll take a guess its one of the "major contributors" in the doom community, possibly a known modder or hell one of the devs of the sourceports.

Brutal Doom attracted a lot of new people to classic Doom, /vr/ having threads about it also helped (a lot of doom memes came from there), and finally Doom 2016 brought most of the millenial/zoomer fanbase.
Before those (around the late 00s) there were younger people in the community, specially around Skulltag before it became shit, but the majority of the fanbase were in their 20s or older.
I think it was due to the release of Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal. One look at the r/Doom subreddit page and I think you'll get what I mean.

When Brutal Doom has come. At this point the changes in population patterns start to become visible but nobody would give it that much of attention. "Hey it's just the game and we all enjoy it, right? right?!"
Well these days any game is about finding something offensive or not woke, whine about that. It's not about entertainment, because these assclowns don't need this. They need fame and cash, even if that was build on bones or blood of others.
And I noticed a moment here. Since some exhibits like major arlene or bridgeburner become famous among Doom community all the stuff start to gone to shit. They got fame, money, and they showed their true colors. Truly, greed and pride can get you that far that you'll lost your human-self.
They're getting money?
Someone makes a huge level with bright color contrasts and monster floodfills, difficulty levels aren't implemented, and the map takes like two fucking hours to complete. If it doesn't win a Cacoward outright, it gets a runner up.
Sunlust was cool as fuck, but the people aping very select parts of it with close to zero thought to encounter design is somewhat of a plague.
