Yeah, having an opinion on something makes me a hypocrite. So it's okay if people on this thread can crack jokes about people who watch Twilight movies or Jersey Shore, or people who basically do nothing with their life whatsoever, that's okay. But if I disparage something like Top 40 music, that makes me a meanie. And if I identify these people as normaltards---the ones who get uncomfortable with others just because they don't fit into their own category and call them"immature"---that makes me a hypocrite? If someone was to say that video games are "stupid," that's fine with me. That's their opinion. I think listening to Lady GaGa is stupid. If somebody says they listen to that silly bint, you won't see me suddenly clam up and react like the person is a freak of nature. The last place I worked at in America, I was stuck in an office with a group of ladies who were about as "normal" as you can get. They were courteous to me when I moved into a cubicle in their office, but once the Star Trek posters were on the cube walls and the X-Men figures were on my desk, all the sudden they were reacting to me as if I was a serial killer or a child molester. If one of them had something to tell me, her face would be so uncomfortable as if she was straining herself to shut off her peripheral vision while looking at me, lest she look into the eyes of Medusa. So I think I am entitled to rolling my eyes when I listened to them gabbing about "Oh, what a cute top you have on!" or "Did you watch American Idol last night? Oh, I can't wait to have the mass media tell me who I ought to listen to next!" I still treated them with far more respect than I got from them.
If you spend any amount of time connecting with nerd/geek culture, you will know that there will always be an issue with the so-called "normals" (ie the people who look down on you for your hobbies). People who grew up as nerds have always had to struggle with those who maintain the status quo. These people consider themselves to be "the norm" and they act retarded. Hence the phrase, "normaltards." You can live a plain vanilla lifestyle as you want, and I won't mind it at all. But once you start judging me for being different, that's where I take issue. Understand?
