So something I've noticed and encountered is people who think just because of the way they discuss comics, animes, or entertainment (because they write like say a long essay on why Vader's redemption was good or something" general that somehow makes them an actual "intellectual" and think they can speak on actual real life topics with little to experience or more so than other people.

It's obnoxious as they think discussions over meaningless stuff makes them "smart" and act like arrogant fools who refuse to realize that they aren't and think they know more than actual experts. Like I knew some idiot who tried to say I should be "ashamed of graduation law school" because my "arguing and debating skills" on comic issues such as should Deathstroke be a Batman villain, how old are the Batfamily, who should the next Batman be, were "bad" and that 'spamming comic panels was exceptionally awful behaviour for a lawyer'.......because yes I should care more about what some random non-lawyer thinks on Batman over actual lawyers who judged my skills in situations that are relevant to law school/the legal profession and deemed it good enough.

Hit dog hollers.

People like this need to go outside and get some real life experience.

Someone once gave me this rant on a comic forum over comic book 'debates' such as should Deathstroke be a Batman villain, which made me see how pointless arguing online is

""....your argument and debate skills are shitty and you honestly should be ashamed of the fact that you somehow got through law school with that level of skill. Spamming panels over engaging in thoughtful conversation and using them to actually back a point up, refusing to listen to what others are saying, and deliberately refusing to READ THE ROOM and understand that making people uncomfortable to the point that they disengage from the conversation isn't the same as making a valid point are all exceptionally awful behaviors to have as a lawyer."

Still mad.
