It's because ignorance is cool. Especially in the USA.
lol - I'm from the U.S.A., but I don't get called weird. If anything, people look up to me in the fact that I play chess; it is something they usually know little about, but believe it is for the smartest people. If people think you are nerdy or weird for playing chess, then that probably says more about the circle of people you are around than it does about the game of chess.
people would prefer to bully you over liking yugioh instead
It's their problem for thinking that. A reasonable person would not think that chess is weird. I'm sure most people don't think that chess is weird. Just ignore them, because they are stupid.
ignoring them is insufficient. you have to at least call them a retard and tell them to f-off, or else they will continue to see you as inferior to them in the dominance hierarchy and will get others to view the situation in the same way
Why are you arguing with me?
because you are wrong
How old are you?
none of your f-cking business
Well, as someone who has been around for 30 years, the kind of strategies you suggest do not work.
ok beta cuck
Claiming dominance doesn’t equal dominance.
dude. r u legit f-cking retarded? LMAAAAOOOOO
Using cuss words and diminutive terms on other people doesn’t make you any cooler. And having a very long LMAO doesn’t make me feel attacked. Grow up.
Complaining about him without pushing back isn't making him win any less hard.
