Note: Elitist not in the bad sense, but someone with much more knowledge and experience than the lost.
With over sixteen years worth of experience in gaming and its sub mediums, several hundreds worth of anime seen, ongoing activity in visual novels, overall knowledge, and experience as a partial writer for specific groups, I effectively fit the bill for an "elitist;" though I never liked to entitle myself as this. As someone who never bothered to interact with the mainstream audience, (being tied to small groups of people I know) I only have a gist of an idea of how the masses think. I want to be a part of this "mainstream audience" to better understand how these people think, for a big article I am planning for a future application somewhere.
And because it's fun because I was once a novice myself.
Because I have such a different viewpoint on things from "casuals," I find it difficult to interact with them. I've tried feigning stupidity and being an asshole, but neither worked out for me in the end.
