Before I'm accused of hypocrisy, I should point out that I find most of the Star Wars discussion here quite boring as well.

Different matter altogether.

But you guys who think HotRod was the rude one, I'm at a loss for words.

They both were, sure, but that's not what I was talking about.

My only issue with the whole debacle was what Tobar brought up: the weird cliquishness (even though I'm sure most of the OT.com people were just bored and trolling as usual because lol making people madbro) and the lack of tolerance of fellow nerds with different interests.

I'm sure just about 80% of the people I know in real life would rather put a bullet in their own heads than have me put on an episode of the hypothetical Adywan's Revisited Podcast where he talks about the minute differences only people who have watched Star Wars frame-by-frame would ever notice* and how he fixed them, and just about 90% of the people I know are Star Wars fans. Just like I'd rather put a bullet in my head than listen to some weeaboo blather on and on about whatever anime is popular right now.

I don't mean that we should all hold hands and sing kumbaya and love each other as brothers, I don't even think you need to respect what they like, but I feel like we should all be able to identify with the fact that they're obsessed with their stuff like we're obsessed with preserving a forty-year-old film; I mean, if nothing else we're in a glass house swinging on a wrecking ball like Miley Cyrus.

Yup.
