>>878071In all thing (even non competitive) there's always elitist know-it-alls who try to build superiority over people who genuinely enjoy the hobby.
Example, adult baseball league. I can't say I've met a single person that's worth his weight in horse shit that plays adult baseball. They probably were in bambino league as a kid, and maybe made junior varsity in high school, now act like they're gods gift to the sport, and they will absolutely let you know about it.
Example 2, bikers. Spandex suits, ultralight frame bikes, has 3 alternative helmets for different aerodynamics, and this is a fucking "hobby" for them. Elitist faggots who you can't have a conversation about riding a bicycle with because of extreme autism faggotry.
Example 3, online gaming, ie league of legends. Faggots who will spend hundreds of dollars on skins to make them think they play better. Will blame their errors on other people who are playing the game just fine, and almost certainly enjoying the time spent more than the elitist cumlord with delusions of superiority.
The /out/ version is thru hikers. No big deal. They don't enjoy the outdoors the same as you or I, because they created competition and superiority out of nothing. Nothing at all.
