What Hollywood, Mass Media, and Commercial Ads get Wrong About the R/C Hobby
About this episode
This episode discusses the misconceptions and harmful stereotypes about the R/C hobbyist community perpetuated by media and corporate strategies.
Just like skateboarders and TTRPG (Tabletop Role-Playing Game) players, the media gets the R/C model vehicle hobbyist community wrong on so many levels. Why does this persist? In this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast we go over these harmful stereotypes and how some manufacturers help to promote these ideas with their corporate strategies for maximum profit at the cost of the reputation of the hobby and the community.
