Cultural Stereotypes: Difference between revisions

** As well as the denizens of [[Mark Trail|Lost Forest]] -- which—which is rather bizarre, since these days, [[Green Aesop|over-the-top environmentalism]] is more generally associated with elitist, middle-to-upper-class liberals.

People with more money than you suck. There are a broad variety of ways that they can suck, but mostly it's because they have ''more'' than you do. They have more stock options than you, a bigger house than you, a fancier car, probably someone to clean up after themselves, and worst of all, they don't seem to be doing anything to ''fix'' that disparity! At the one end of the spectrum you have the heartless bastard rich guy, whose money might as well be literally coated with the blood of all the little people he's gleefully slaughtered to get where he is. At the other, you have the hopeless geek who's turned his geekiness into a business; he may have more money than you, but at least you can pat yourself on the back for not being a ''nerd'' like he is. Somewhere in the middle you have the snooty, know-nothing [[Upper Class Twit|Upper Class Twits]]s; these are very popular, but not strictly necessary, as the rich are very rarely portrayed as having earned or deserving their money, even if they built the company that made it for them from the ground up with their own two hands.

* For the most part, the "old money" crowd is treated as a bunch of inhumane, amoral [[Jerkass|Jerkasses]]es who don't give a fig for the rest of humanity in the ''[[Global Guardians PBEM Universe]]''. One of the regular themes was a heroic scientist creating some amazing breakthrough that made him "new money" wealthy, and then having to deal with the "old money" types sneering at them.
