Community Talk #5 - Social Groups/Stereotypes

[§elices]

I have to go to summer school, but before then, no school for me.

I'm a geek and proud of it! Sure people laugh at me sometimes, and insult me, but I use sarcasm to throw it in their faces, so I'm good.

If you're a geek then can you help me with my math homework?

You see, this is why I hate stereotypes...

Seems like school's more interesting than stereotypes / social groups

[HAZARDZ0NE]

Ive got almost no friends (so no social groups,do the math).

I would classify myself as a pessimistic loner and a punk (as in juvenile, not the other "punk"). That's me in a nutsheell.

Just use google to help you out. I'm in all advanced classes (I'm even in the Gifted program), though my geeky focuses are mostly centered on Sci fi/fantasy stuff. I'm sort of like a less pathetic Stuart from Big Bang theory.

We already have/had a topic for school and it was quite active.

EDIT:Here it is: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2127
It's in "General".

I'm sorry, I couldn't help it.

Sorry I haven't been on, I had a convention to go to and then I got really sick.
Anyway, I'm in all sorts of group. Otaku, Mibster (someone who plays marbles), Comic Book geek, Pegasister, and Drama club girl. I was also in girl scouts until 7th grade.
Being a vegetarian has some really annoying stereotypes. People think I'm a stuck-up, environmentalist, hippie chick freak, who preaches about saving the rainforest. I really don't care to that great of a degree. I mean yeah, I've fussed about endangered insects and animals, and I hate that people hunt and over use resources, but I don't go shaming people for it, and try to convert people. A lot of my friends have legit reasons for why they can't be vegetarian, and I don't push them.
I'm definitely a stereotypical Otaku. I cosplay, go to conventions, read Manga, watch Anime, and have a Gaia Online account. I draw little chibis, and eat Pocky. I even listen to a little J-Pop (even though it's 90's J-Pop, Pizzacato 5 is awesome) and do the Carameldansen.
I don't think Mibsters are well known enough to have a stereotype.
Now for a little controversially stereotype. My Great Grandmother is an Eastern Star (Free Mason) True story.

Wow! Illuminati AND Pegisister. You just lost any respect people had for you.
