Re: When people not in fandom ask you about fandom things

[personal profile] blunderbuss 2013-12-06 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
It's becoming more and more of a thing, since my dad is slowly starting to like more geeky things and he's started reading reddit.

Just last month on the Daily Show he heard Jon say the word 'fangirling', and he paused the TV for a second to ask me what that was. I explained it, but the worst thing is not only has he told other people about it, but he uses it wrong. It's both adorable and embarassing at the same time.

It gets even worse when he asks why something on the internet, like twitter, is so damn popular/what use does it have, and I have to respond that I have no goddamn clue. And then he's like 'But [name] this is your generation's stuff, how do you not know?' and I say 'Dad a lot of people of my generation like stupid shit, don't ask me why cuz I don't get it either'.
