{{quote|This is a site populated by militant movie buffs: sad, pathetic little bastards living in their parents' basement downloading scripts and what they think is inside information about movies and actors they claim to despise yet can't stop discussing.

{{quote|I can't tell you how many times I have visited the Official [[Unreal Tournament 2004|UT2003]] forums and have seen subjects such as "Suggestions for next patch" or "List of necessary changes or the game will DIE!” I find it funny that these self-proclaimed "game developer wonders" think that they know more than the guys that make a living out of this industry.|'''Zenny at BeyondUnreal Capture, [http://web.archive.org/web/20031229142432/capture.beyondunreal.com/onearticle.php?id{{=}}66 Be Like Baseball]'''}}

{{quote|'''Anon 1''': How does /tg/ feel about the fact that the Augmetic Engine-Plate armour in [[Rogue Trader|Hostile Acquisitions]] almost perfectly matches the description of a [[Powered Armor|Spartan suit]] from [[Halo]]?
'''Anon 1''': Quote: "While hardly being designed for agility, engine-plate is extremely resilient, being composed of heavy ceramite-bonded plasteel plating over thick layers of vulcanised rubber and flakweave."
'''Anon 2''': [[Older Than Print|brigandine.jpg]]
'''Anon 2''': Gee, it's not like composite armour made of different materials and then layered over one another to increase sum total protection is a new idea, right guys?
'''Anon 1''': It's different. A flexible, protective rubber/mesh under heavy steel plates is basically exactly what MC wears.
'''MR. RAGE''': ALSO "LITERALLY EVERY SCI-FI SUPERSOLDIER IN THE LAST TWENTY YEARS," SO, THERE'S ALSO THAT.

{{quote|"The thing about fandoms is that there is essentially no barrier to entry. Most regular hobbies have some requirement before you can join. If you want to join the guitarist’s social club, you need to be able to play the guitar. Fandoms have no such barrier, you just say “I’m a fan of X, so I’m in your club!” There’s really nothing that keeps the cancer out. Fandoms are how people with no social skills, talents, or literally anything else that would make them a part of something try to shoehorn themselves into a “community” that no one can say they can't be a part of. Whatever autistic crap they bring with them gets wedged into the box of the fandom, until it becomes an accepted part of it.
Many fandoms, especially geeky fandoms, are also major carriers of the [http://www.plausiblydeniable.com/opinion/gsf.html Geek Social Fallacies]. As such, they are very reluctant to expel anyone, because ostracizers are evil, friends should unconditionally accept each other, and the group friendship is more important than anyone else’s comfort. Because of this, what eventually happens is the group is held hostage by the must cancerous people in it, often to the point that their autism becomes the group identity, as the normals are scared away."
