There used to be this hierarchy of nerdy stuff. The comic nerds looked down on the war gaming nerds who looked down on the tabletop nerds who looked down on the larpers. As a comic reading, war gaming, roleplaying, larper I always thought it was weird.

This is what I hate about any kind of hobby culture and have always been hesitant to identify as any. The amount of toxicity that comes out of what is supposed to be entertainment is unreal. So many people demand respect for their esoteric obsessions yet refuse to respect anyone else’s. Like, in the end none of it matters so just enjoy what you like doing and let others enjoy what they like doing. Why bother spending your limited time and energy hating on stuff when you can just ignore it?
