I grew up in a football town. There was definitely a dichotomy between the popular kids and the "nerds" back when the term was only used as an insult. I think people have to remember their local experiences are only indicative of their locale, not the world at large. The same likely applies here. Won't be true for everyone, so the post is at least wrong in that regard, but the person who made it probably just didn't consider their experience is the same as everyone else's either. permalink fedilink source parent [+] hoodatninja@kbin.social 1 point 3 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] pjhenry1216@kbin.social 3 points 3 years ago (7 children) Based on just browsing social media, this would be more accurate if it were stated as a spectrum and the two extremes hate each other.

So it does happen. I'm confused. If you claim to admit it happens, why then state you don't believe it happens?

Sure it might not be across the country, but most teenagers don't get to venture outside the town they grow up in, so if it's like that, it makes up most of their world. So yeah, that it happens is enough for some people as that would constitute their entire teenage life. I don't understand why this is difficult to grasp. I literally opened and said it's a spectrum and the people do exist at either end and that obviously implies it's not everywhere. So half of what you said isn't even treading new ground or refuting anything. It's not major if it doesn't happen to you. It is major if it does. This is super simple even a child should understand it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [+] hoodatninja@kbin.social 1 point 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] LinkOpensChest_wav@beehaw.org 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) When I've seen complaints about "normies" using Lemmy, it has more to do with people who are enlightened centrists / freeze peach warriors bringing their diseased takes here from reddit I don't think it has anything to do with which specific hobbies people enjoy, especially since we can't even see that through the screen.
