Oh, that's very much understood. There exists, in pretty much any of my hobbies, those practitioners who I REALLY do not want to be associated with.

Some fandoms seem, for not always obvious reasons, to attract a disproportionate number of, shall we say, questionable fans. Though how that one happens is somewhat clearer, as noted above WW2 history buffs have a larger than normal percentage of kind of problematic people.

My nephew continued his tirade for a little while longer, but she kept shooting him down with witty comebacks until he gave up and left.
"So...you're telling me...that I can have all of your figs?"

Humans have been eating bugs for as long as we've been humans. (shrug) I don't see what all the fuss is about, I guess it's a cultural thing? It's lost on me, though. They sell these crispy mealworm snacks at a specialty food store here in town--they're like rice crackers made from ground mealworms instead of ground rice--and they're wonderful (the BBQ flavored ones are amazing.)

There are some areas where specific insects or insects bits are considered a common snack choice. Honeypot ant abdomens, for example.

If "pineapple on pizza" is a metaphor for personal preferences in D&D, I wonder what "wasp eggs in figs" would be a metaphor for? What would be something unintentional and unpleasant, but you didn't actually mind it until someone called attention to it?

Or alternatively, you accept as just the price of eating the figs because you like them. There's a lot of equivalent of that in the world.

Weirdly, I would say that invoking a youtube video makes an opinion less worthy of deference.

There a handful of good things on youtube- weird people doing God's work by shooting instructional videos on how to fix water heaters. Ze Frank. And maybe a handful of halfway decent sources of information and/or infotainment (SciShow for example, or Wendover). Oh, and watching Greg get absolutely hammered on How to Drink.

Other than that, it's a vast wasteland of underinformed people with Hawt Taeks that are underbaked at best, stupidly dangerous at worst.

Now, now. There's also people playing video games that are fun to watch but that you don't have the patience to A) Buy and B) Learn well enough to get the fun out of playing.

You know, if you responded with this to a heated exchange I was participating in, I'd have trouble being mad.

When the issue you think may take an afternoon to troubleshoot is fixed in an hour.
