ludious: ignoring you because time after time you say something really shitty to me (like just now, when you misunderstood my post as i explicitly said arch isn't the type of person i'm talking about) and then occasionally PM me apologizing. i'm tired of it. arch and i are friends having a conversation and nobody needs you coming in and turning the chat hostile. if chat ever gets snatched up, it'll be for exactly shit like this.
arch: right, i agree. it's a very tenuous line. pretty much all of the interests i have now (except maybe, cars?) i've had since childhood so i never really 'grew up' but i guess i didn't really do a lot of stuff-kids-do growing up, anyway.

How come the conversation on man-children is gender-exclusive? Surely there's some kind of female equivalent to the behavior described in that thread. Twilight Moms, maybe?
Is it just that the forum is disproportionately male?
Little Nemo in Slumberland is one of the best comic strips of the 20th century.
FACT.
you read comics? What a man-child. I bet you can't even get a job.
You know, the man-child thread and the other thread about stereotypes of basement-dwelling nerds have totally blurred together. I've been reading them both and can never remember which posts were where.
edit: Elendil: I know! I know. Let me fetch my supersized hardcover of Little Nemo and we'll read it instead.

yes
edit: also, actualy looking into that thread, what it is describing is a media trend and my kind are woefully underrepresented in media, so there it is.

I have not even gotten into this, but rest assured
This heat is pissing me off. I haven't been able to go for a jog all week because it's north of 90 degrees outside, and I can't hear my tv over the sound of my fans blasting me in the face.

I say shitty things from time to time chu, you do too. And yes, I apologize for them. But, I don't feel I've done anything uncalled for this morning. All I know is, as usual, Will has everyone stirred up with his judgmental bullshit and you're defending it. But please, ignore me.
yesterday I put a bunch of sticks on the frame of my coworker's monitors as a joke. Now I'm afraid they might be stuck there. I hope they were really cheap.
Also I know the now-canonical example with those two threads of not-socially-getting-it is "cat ears," but I think every time I've seen a girl with one of those cat ear hoodies, part of my brain immediately went full patriarchy and I visualized sex with the hoodie still on.
Possibly this makes me a man-child and/or weeaboo.
And I think I dare say that it's a pretty big gap between chewing on a piece of lego and then sticking it in your nose and having a Lego Millennium Falcon in your bookshelf.

I almost said this exact thing in the man child thread
I know a girl who wears cat ears most of the time. She's not a weeaboo. She has mental health issues, and identify more with cats than humans.
She's the nicest person I know.

I guess I don't watch enough anime for me to associate the cat ears with weaboo. It just makes me think Josie and the Pussycats. So my thought tends to be "Oh hey, a Hanna-Barbera fan".
I can't fathom not owning a single Lego. I always figured that Legos just spontaneously appeared in homes with children, like a swarm of plastic locust.

yeah twilight moms are creepy as shit
but yeah as a cultural phenomenon, it's generally seen as a male trait
partly it's that culturally, infantile traits in women have been more tolerated or even sometimes encouraged over western history.
so a grown women hoarding precious moments figurines or beanie babies isn't seen as that strange even though it's just as lame as a grown man playing with gi joes.

All I know is there are plenty of "man children" I'd trust with raising children far more than their suit-wearing counterparts (not a shot at will).
I have in mind a few suits I've know throughout the years. They dressed nice and went to fancy dinner parties and did the whole schtick. They also had children who all seemed to be brats
But really that isn't a surprise when daddy is too busy playing golf all weekend to nurture his kids.

No. It makes you a furry. Fuck.
Damnit!
How am I going to make one of those full body Disney type animal suits? I don't even own a sewing machine.

Back in subschool a couple of guys bought one of the large sized GI Joes who was dressed as a Navy Chief. They started making little videos of him in forced perspective staged scenes and made a facebook page for him.
I don't know what my point was. It does sound kind of childish and stupid, but I'm also trying to think of some other "adult" passtime that isn't just as stupid or moreso.

Well, I guess of those two, vivaldi. Like, you know, spring, summer, and them other two. It's cute enough.
And since I'm living in a hotel right now, you can be damn sure I'd avoid if the latter were the case.

The fact that she's nice leads me to believe that she isn't very cat-like at all.
Edit: Case in point.
