That's why I don't talk about it around anybody I know doesn't like Transformers on the level I do.

But still, it doesn't really matter. In a few years, you'll never see them again, and all that will matter is your career and sex.

can't waste energy letting trolls get to ya. nope nope nope

personally, as an extremely confident woman who loves transformers and trek and oh so many other wonderfully geeky fantasies, i'm mostly received with intimidation... sometimes girls who think of me as a threat will try to stab, and I always throw right back wither with "damn straight, you never met a geek like me before" and ask them if they have anything that they love so much that it makes them cry and laugh at the same time, anything that really makes them love being alive. of course, the answer is always no, because people who go out of their way to insult people who do love something just have really green eyes. that leaves them pretty speechless usually, as bullies expect you'll cave instead of punch back.

:lol:

Most of my friends are just fine with me liking Transformers, probably because they're pretty geeky too. I've generally gotten more positive comments than negative ones if I bring up that I'm a fan of Transformers. In fact, I think my Spanish teacher likes me better now that she knows I like the series, since she's a big fan of the movies. It's just something that we can bond over.

Now, my family on the other hand is a whole other issue. They all think I'm nuts, especially my younger sister, who is convinced that anything involving giant robots must only be for five-year-olds -- especially the toys. The only thing that she thinks is more childish than me liking Transformers is liking My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. My mother's stance is that since I'm the one with the money, I can spend it any way I want. She just wishes I wouldn't spend so much money on toys. But hey, I can live with that.

Hilarious :lol:

I get teased a little from my friends for sure but it's mostly just them taking the piss.

As of late, and i don't know why, but people have been commenting on how intimidating i am size wise and attitude wise to them when i meet them at a bar or party. Sometimes i don't mind giving this impression but it's not really me and i've been telling people lately about my TF hobby and my all around nerdness and remarkably they think it's really cool and respect it. Even the girls

Maybe when i divulge that aspect of myself it disarms them a bit and they warm up to me. So in reality my TF collecting has saved me from insults.
