I agree... But also the online 'hacker community' (whatever that means) IME tended to be filled with people supposedly 'outside' social norms. Even the 'straight white males' are of the slightly socially awkward video gaming variety. Not your erm generic ones. And they are all obsessive over stuff.

Almost put me off when I was considering careers but people in real life are much more diverse with a variety of interest. And they don't live/breathe/eat code.

I'm an autistic woman with ADHD but because my interests are typically girly people don't believe it...

Also to add nothing wrong with video games, I can't do woess very well but what I mean is they tend to have some 'identifier' that they're proud to not be like all the 'normal peoplw'

I don't have any quirky interests. I like trash TV and doing my nails. Somehow that's not acceptable
