Some parts of the programming community has always embraced counterculture/things the public sees as bizzare. Surprise surprise, it's also the part that spends a lot more on the computer than even the already addicted average programmer. So they tend to be godly at the craft compared to us lesser mortals that still maintain some normal social behaviour and they can produce amazing stuff like this. Be thankful for it.

As someone who is weird along many dimensions, I do expect people to treat harmless weirdness as normal. Expanding the set of acceptable behaviors to encompass all harmless ones is an important part of social progress.

Maybe consider that the loudness you resent is the result of reflexivity, and in a world where no-one would flip an eyelid over such persona creation and whatnot, there would only be the loudness you'd mistakenly perceive.

I'm wondering if you call authors using pen names "weird".

If I ever at all did youtube videos of anything at all, I would more likely than not adopt some persona (and give it a weird accent to boot) so it would distinctly be not "me".

What’s “normal”? You?
