Re: Complain about nerd culture here

[comradesmiler]

Could you sound any more like a hipster?

Re: Complain about nerd culture here

[(Anonymous)]

Most definitely.

Re: Complain about nerd culture here

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think skepticism towards marketing and a concern with quality makes you a hipster.

If it does, then hipster me on up, I don't give a shit.

Re: Complain about nerd culture here

[(Anonymous)]

Not liking bad quality things doesn't make you a hipster. Assuming that anything that is well-marketed must be bad quality and lording yourself over anyone who likes something that is mainstream, however, does make you a hipster.

Re: Complain about nerd culture here

[(Anonymous)]

That's not what the post said, though.

The post said that nerds like things that are well-marketed regardless of their quality. In other words, nerds like things that are well-marketed regardless of whether they're good or bad. Not that all well-marketed things are bad.

Re: Complain about nerd culture here

[(Anonymous)]

Yes it did say that. Here, I'll copy paste.

"I'm so tired of nerds obsessing over the super marketed movies and games. It feels it doesn't even matter the quality, throw enough money at making some hype and it's like racoons to trash."

Sentence one: OP is annoyed at nerds who really like mainstream things.
Sentence two: They can be good quality or bad quality (opinion) but they'll still like them if they are famous.

Thus: OP hates mainstream stuff and judges nerds who like mainstream stuff. OP is a textbook case of hipster.

Re: Complain about nerd culture here

[(Anonymous)]

Nothing in there could possibly lead you to the conclusion that OP hates mainstream stuff. That's not there in the slightest.

OP is saying that they are tired of nerds obsessing over things because they think that said nerds don't care whether or not the thing they're obsessing over is good or bad. The thing they're objecting to is clearly the marketing surrounding the movies and the way people obsess over them. Not the movies themselves (except insofar as some of those movies are, in fact, bad).

Re: Complain about nerd culture here

Lol either you're OP and you're changing what was said or you're really pushing here. OP flat out said she hated that people liked things that were highly marketed (mainstream). OP is a hipster, sorry, end of story.

Re: Complain about nerd culture here

[(Anonymous)]

OP said she hated that people obsess over things regardless of their quality.

No matter how much you want to try to twist it, that's what OP said.

Re: Complain about nerd culture here

[(Anonymous)]

OP hates that people rush to like famous or well-marketed things regardless of quality.

This doesn't mean OP hates all famous things. OP might like some famous or mainstream things themselves. What they hate is the fact that people will blindly love everything that's hyped.

And the theme of FS today is: people who want to be salty reading things into comments that aren't there.

Re: Complain about nerd culture here

[(Anonymous)]

you sound like a marvel fan

Re: Complain about nerd culture here

[dethtoll]

100%.

Re: Complain about nerd culture here

[(Anonymous)]

NA Logic is not your strong suit here, seriously.

Re: Complain about nerd culture here

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, they could.

Let me try:

"I don't think most people today really experience cinema. Not the way it is supposed to be experienced. It takes a really aware person to truly let cinema into their souls they way I have."

God I hate myself.

Re: Complain about nerd culture here

[ketita]

You took one for the team.

hahaha +1

Re: Complain about nerd culture here

[elialshadowpine]

I think I owe you a beer (or drink of choice, if you hate beer) for this one.

Re: Complain about nerd culture here

[(Anonymous)]

aww i hate you too ♥ :P

Let me give it a shot!

[dethtoll]

I refuse to watch movies, let alone lower myself to watch them in the theatre. If I wished to hang out with a bunch of illiterate proles devoid of talent or taste, I would visit my local library to talk about the latest chapter of 50 Shades of Grey (or hang out with my grandma.) My, what depths these banal idiots will sink to in an attempt to fill the empty void that is their lives. They make me sick. Sick!

Real art these days is found in the last place you would expect it: the internet. Once a bastion of lonely porn trolls living in their parents basement subsisting on Cheetos and other sugary snacks I would not dare put within 10 feet of my mouth, it has recently become a true beacon of the artiste. The thinkers. The individuals. The outcasts. The mavericks who dare think outside the box. People like me.

I typed this on my iPad. It's an Apple product. You might have heard of it, but I doubt you can afford it.

Re: Let me give it a shot!

The fact that it's you saying this pushes this whole comment 100% into Poe's law territory.

Re: Let me give it a shot!

[dethtoll]

I don't even own an iPad and I fucking love Cheetos. Try again?

Re: Let me give it a shot!

[(Anonymous)]

XD

Re: Let me give it a shot!

[(Anonymous)]

there's no sugar in Cheetos. bleurgh

Re: Let me give it a shot!

[dethtoll]

that's the joke
