Nerds™

In also saw some SG1 cosplayers once

Me and my Jaffa bros at the Renn Faire:
The Renn Faire actors tired of sci-fi nerds' bullshit:

this is so fuckin cool I want to do that too lol

Y'all need to watch the Lower Decks episode where a planet of Ren Fair people are existing in the Star Trek universe. It absolutely killed me 😂.

like i think it's fun, but ren faires have trekkie days. go on those days.

I had a really good conversation about this sort of thing with someone who has been to Wasteland, the Max Max-style cosplay festival on the US West Coast. They are reportedly very strict about people always being "in costume" or "in character" (ie: dirty, post-apocalyptic-ish) whenever outside private camp spaces.

I find it pretty ironic that the Deathguild folks from Burning Man are out there, running an event that enforces mandatory culture. Subsuclutre implies depth, nuaunce, context, space to fuck with things.

It's all play, which is what all this ridiculous stuff is supposed to be in the first place. If you want a shallow simulacrum, go to Disneyland.

So there's a group of people that all mutually agreed to play with each other in a certain way, and you'd rather they play by your rules instead?
- Reading is hard, isn't it?
I want a shallow simulacrum of Mad Max. I want several halfhazardly welded vehicles around and I want somewhere to do burnouts with them or hang off the jutting bits and I want to be suspended with metal cables in front of a speaker array and be given a fire breathing triple necked guitar.
I also want fire and ambulance services standing by of course

  Pitch it as a training event, give new EMTs some opportunities to check off a few boxes in the trauma category.
- Reasonable Max
- So... demolition derby?
- VIP-Halla welcomes you with open arms. Craft services are in the circus tent.

why are they sorry?should i apologize for finding things funny?

? no one is sorry?
- The first two words of the screenshotted post is "I'm sorry". I glanced over it at first because it's just a turn of phrase, and actually had to go back when I saw the comment you're replying to to check lol.
