Comicon 
Bible study[/quote]

As I guy I agree.

Ren Fsir girls are usually overweight and weird.

Comicon women are either thirst traps that post their sl*tty outfits on social media for attention or they’re gross nerds with blue hair and sweat stains.   If they’re attractive women they have an army of simps that follow them.

Bible study - self explanatory.  Although my friend used to pick up girls from bible study all the time in college.  He was Jewish which made it even funnier.  I have no problems with people going to church and stuff, just not my thing.  If you go that’s cool but I won’t be going to that or bible study.

I’m also going to add Disney fans to the list.  Disney itself is a crap company but if you’re into all that Disney stuff it’s just weird.  I out that in the anime camp.  Both are just weird

Wondering which of these is true about this PP:

1. He's never actually been to any ren fair, comic con or Bible study and has never actually interacted closely with people (women or men) who do those things. So he bases all this stereotyped blather above on what he thinks he sees on social media and what other cool boys tell him to think.

2. He's been to a ren fair or a comic con (I'm wagering he's never gone near a Bible study). Maybe even is into those hobbies (but afraid to admit it here). And he's the "gatekeeping" kind, who believes he knows The One Right Way To Be in those worlds, and being female is not that right way. Lots of nasty gatekeeping used to be present in comic con/cosplay/gaming in particular, from certain men who expect women in those spaces to behave in specific ways palatable to men who think they own those worlds, or at least, who think they should run those worlds. I'm NOT saying that all, or even many, men who are into ren fairs and/or comic cons are gatekeepers--that's not true (any more) and I don't deal in broad, ugly stereotypes like PP. But such gatekeeping men in those hobbies definitely do still exist. But I'm wagering PP is in the "Never done any of the above, but still have a strong opinion about those who do!" camp.

Not touching his Disney slam because I just don't know or care enough about "Disney adults" to opine on them. But clearly, this PP knows quite a few personally, since he's weighing in with his informed, expert opinion...right? [/quote]
