There is a word that has escaped me for as long as I can remember. Literally. I know the word but within the context of me trying to explain how I don't care much for "Patriotism" then willy nilly applying that to fanboying. I never could pin down what I meant.
I do that often though, I know what I think I mean or I can feel that it is the right general area but it is not home.
I was reading a comic on twitter today, it is fucking awesome. The guy released the book and although I have not checked how much it is because I can assume it costs a lot. It was nice of him to share some pages. This is the Comic Thread and this is the comic that reminded me:
So, maybe as a reminder to myself that people who freak out over a favourite band or some idiot that is excited over their team playing, a parent who can't shut up about their child or the obvious classic where they think their country is just the best. I am more of the mind the more local it is to me the more shit it is, so seeing as I live in South Africa then there is, fortunately, nothing good about it.
So glad I figured it out because now I can say I do not care much for peoples pride, combine that with excitement and they downright irk me.
Then again. I do understand pride maybe not "their pride" and I experience it, unfortunately, but like all good things, it is best to not do it in public and within moderation.
