Having gone to lots comic book, sci-fi/fantasy, furry and brony conventions, fen/fannish folks are as varied as humanity itself. Not everyone is going to be a looker. Frankly, the older you get the more one realizes it doesn’t matter. Like what you like.
@Aponty
are you in defense of those who judge others they’ve never met for liking a show they’ve never watched?
@Zennistrad
what’s more unsightly is that any of us would distance ourselves from others on this same ride for falling short of being a pack of good looking male models dressed by fashion labels.
our image may be why we get so much shit, but how seriously can we take those who think someone is worth mockery or contempt for being ugly? or fat? or having a neckbeard? or wearing a certain hat?
sure i’d also feel perturbed when someone thinks they know me because they know a stereotype, and the offense i’d take is little more than being called jack instead of john.
my problem isn’t with our image, but with those who’d even believe the things people tell others about us without even getting to know us .
