Not understanding other peoples interests

epgc3fyqirnbsx

Everyone is different and variety is the spice of life, we know this and know this to be good. But are there some things that other people are into that you just can't understand, especially things that some people seem to be reeeaaaaly into

What inspired this was references to all these japanese animations, and references to 4chan that you get here quite often which seems to have a lot of that sort of stuff (amongsst a hell of a lot of other stuff) all over it

I just dont get it, some really odd and sadistic stuff that seems to be cool becuase its all animation. We all enjoy a bit of escapism but some of this stuff is just fúcked up imo and each to there own but damn...
I gets my escapism from a good buke

I was gonna say another one is someone being really into a particualr band and buying into them as a sort a philosophy but then I remembered that I was a little Nirvana wanker back in the day and liked the sound of Guns 'n Roses but didnt like to say it cos Kurt thought they were too commercial and yada yada yaa.
you grow up and realise it's just catering to taste anyway and it's all pretentious.
Arcade Fire fans I'm looking at you

And Star Wars, fúcking Star Wars, and Star Trek for that matter....
Right, sar wars were good ole flicks, the age old good vs evil saga, brilliant, makes a good flick but ffs they were just films not a fúcking lifestyle
Some seem to get so far into that craic, whoare probably the same people who sweat over world of warcraft, that they reject tghe real world to be heroes in a little realm that anyone who doesn't understand it is a simpleton. Comic book store guys all over the place

But maybe I'm just being ignorant, these are just things that I can;t understand

And here we'll have a few comments on why I can't understand why you'd bother writing such a post

What's wrong with Star Trek???

Sauve

As granny used to say:
"Sure wouldn't it be a very boring world if everyone was the same"

I suppose it just depends on different tastes and what gets one persons interest going might not even register with somebody else...

Nothing is wrong with it. People quoting it and turning up at Star Wars premiers holding up banners saying "Star Trek forver Star Wars never" is pretty odd though

I mean people who are really into things and reference them at every chance they get

yeah, that is odd.

you know, I used to watch a lot of anime too, it's not sadistic or odd most of the time like

Some people are fanatical about games, others are fanatical about religion. Personally, I prefer the ones who stay indoors all day to the ones who kill in the name of God...but that's just me.

I just think it's a certain personality type that causes people to become obsessive about things. Some people don't really give a shíte about anything or anyone, those people kinda suck. I guess it's all about finding a balance between caring too much and not caring at all.

Edit: Watch Fanboys, it's hilarious.

I don't really understand football.

I get sport in general, I'm not saying I don't understand competitive sports, but it's like the whole 'world' of football, I just don't get. the crazy fans, the overpayed footballers you know?

that and wrestling.

There's nothing really i'd be totally mad about to the point where i'd be going to conventions or meet ups about them..not that i can think of anyway.

Most people call them matches, but convention sounds cooler tbh.

I'd love to meet someone to go to a convention with me, it's called the mediocre average joe convention. We just wear what we would usually wear and talk about real world events and what happened on x factor/bitch about how X factor is on TV all the time

It's not really any different to people congregating in a huge badly made hall once a week and listening to a man wearing a dress tell stories from a book that 2000 years ago someone wrote for the craic and others saw they could make money from.

It's a crutch. It's not doing any harm unless you actually get near Skywalker ranch or whatever and then you'll find yourself with an arse like a vase full of dying roses in a shallow grave...just like them other folk I mentioned.

That sounds terribly exciting.

I just think those conventions are a chance for lonely nerds to go out and meet other lonely nerds. It's all just a bit of fun at the end of the day. I'd really love to go to a Comic-Con someday. Not because I'm a huge comic fan or anything, there's just an incredible number of really hot girls in spandex at those things and I'm a pervert.

Yes but if you turn the camera on yourself there is sure to be something you hold a little more dear than everyone else.

What are your thoughts on accepting a 200 euro note for a fivers worth of petrol for instance?

I know, I was just taking the mick, played most of the games when I was younger.

The only one I didn't like was the one where you went forward in time, and everyone kinda turned to zombies, that was just a very strange game and scared the shít out of me when I was a kid.
