Elitism and You.

[Aries_Split]

I'm pretty elitist of the people who decide to barge in, on my multiplayer games.

If I see any leet speak, you're kicked.
If you write "u" instead of "you", you're kicked.
If you lack common sense while in-game, you're kicked.
If you stand around doing nothing, you're kicked.
If you don't meet my expectations or if you don't play equally better as me, you're kicked.
If you don't speak a word of English, well, you're kicked.

Yeah, I'm pretty elitist.

You must have fun in your 24 player maps with just You.

And Eggo.

Those are steep requirements for people on the INTERNET.

Im an elitist not by words, but by actions. Probably not what the OP was looking for, but oh well.

I normally find myself correcting people in terms of grammar and when it comes to random technology trivia.

Random tech trivia? What kind of processor does the Xbox360 use and what is it/ are they clocked at?

It's a tri-core derivative of the PowerPC architecture, designed by IBM, clocked at 3.2GHz, I believe. Also, the term "bug" was believed to have been in use since the 1920s, but Grace Hopper, one of the implementors of COBOL and later a Rear Admiral in the US Navy, had the first documented use of the term.

Wrong, grace hopper wasn't the one who first used the term. Not even the first recorded one. I was pretty sure and i checked wiki and whaddya know.

I know sucks to be a phailed elitist doesnt it.

Hopper was not actually the one who found the insect, as she readily acknowledged. And the date was September 9, but in 1947, not 1945.[6][7] The operators who did find it (including William "Bill" Burke, later of the Naval Weapons Laboratory, Dahlgren Va. [8]), were familiar with the engineering term and, amused, kept the insect with the notation "First actual case of bug being found." Hopper loved to recount the story.

I have elitist tendencies when it comes to politics and video games. I try my best to be polite though.

Heh? Do I get to be a non-white person if I don't like just about everything on that list? Maybe this is the list for American-whitey?

"Stuff White People Like" refers to a specific American cultural group -- not necessarily "rich", but highly privileged. Most American whites don't actually fit the pattern. That's why the "white people" label is provocative here: the people who like this stuff don't think of themselves as part of an ethnic subculture. They think of themselves as kind of, err, "metacultural" -- cosmopolitan, connected to all of society, the creators and arbiters of the national culture. And there's this tacit idea that everyone else would do the same stuff and like the same things if they had the same level of cultural privilege, too -- people treat the Stuff White People Like as stuff that's objectively better and more refined than other stuff.

Basically, the kind of white American who doesn't like things on the SWPL list is the wrong kind of white person -- the guy who drinks Bud Lite, votes Republican, uses racial slurs, opposes gay marriage and gun control. SWPL white people really, really don't want to be like that guy. That's why calling them "white people" is transgressive.

I'm not elitist; just part of the elite.

 

[Simriel]

Being the taoist that I am, debate and elitism aren't something I exercise unless I'm very tired or cranky. In that case, it's usually on the subject of language that I correct people.

In my normal, more levelheaded state, I just let people live with their mistakes in judgement until they realize that they didn't get it quite right. They tend to learn a bit better that way.

I am so elite, im an alien! with a plasma sword!

LEMON GRENADE!!!

The arbiter is now a lemon grenade.

 

[notyouraveragejoe]

I tend to be an erratic elitist. This means there is not one subject that I consider myself elite in (well except maybe English Literature since I hear people spout bullshit and I can't help but correct and/or verbally castrate them) and yet I am elite in the random topics I can be. This tends to be just because I have a large amount of random knowledge stored in my brain for no real reason. Because of this a lot of people call me a smart ass to which I reply:

"I am smart but it has nothing to do with my ass"

(Cookie to whoever gets the reference)

It's not really elitism when 99% of people out there are borderline retarded.

There's a fine line between fanboyism and elitism, even if there is a line.

I dunno, I like to play Devil's Advocate in many situations, and quite a few people on this forum hate me for it, even if I'm just trying to un-slant their opinions. If you've seen my infamous thread, you'll understand what I'm talking about.

Nah, Eggo just plants flame bait. If you ignore him, he will go.

However, he knows a heck of a lot about computers, which makes me appreciate him as an Escapist.

 

[MercenaryCanary]

I'm the anti piracy advocate here. I yell extensively at anyone who justifies stealing shit from people

Buts its free...
The elitist in me likes to talk about why other people are wrong. Then I start to correct people's grammar.

 

[tobyornottoby]

Elitism ><

If someone is acting elitistic(?) by saying their opinion is better than others, that's when I have to speak up

I am elitist by admission and I believe that, in a way, most people are.

1 of the 4 slides of that Meyers-Biggs-Jung personality thingy is Judging - Perceiving. I think it has to do with that

 

[darkless]

Politics and Geography always get me.

Oh and spelling, punctuation, grammar...OK I think i can just say if it has nothing to do with computers I know next to nothing about it.

Games in general.

Also, for some off-topic:

From The Spoils CCG [http://www.thespoils.com], via Athena Card Search [http://www.metatime.net/athena/].

And yes, that is meant to be elitism in this sense. That's from the Gearsmith trade. One-third of their cards are named or feature 1337 somewhere. They even have a Series of Tubes card.
