Are PC elitist the worst?

Just as annoying as any elitist/fanboy. I can remember some pretty bad ones in real-life, but they are generally decent people if you try to avoid mentioning console gaming to them. Then there are the ones who play MOBA's and shit all over you if you make a single mistake. They are bad.

But console elitists are also very annoying, especially when they use ignorant arguments like "PC has no exclusives", "you need a $2000+ PC to PC game" and the classic: "I don't PC game because I like the comfort of my sofa/TV". Maybe some of those people aren't really elitists, just uninformed gamers living in blissful ignorance.

The ones I know in real life may not be horrible people, but their attitude does transfer to other debates as well.  Can't talk politics with them because they also have a pre-set mind about that.  Of course, these are just the ones I know.  Which obviously constitutes of about only 7 or 8 people (so far).  Online I know probably 5 or 6.  So the group I know is barely representative.  However, it's much easier to talk to fans of any other console (that I know) because they tend not to try to shit on everything and actually listen to what you say (gaming or non-gaming stuff).  I'd like to meet a PC gamer (in person) who I can actually talk to.

I'm sure you've talked to quite a few . Gamers don't always advertise themselves and their preferences.

I haven't met a lot of Xbox/Nintendo fanboys in real life so I can't comment on their behavior but if they are anything like some of their online counterparts, I doubt they are any better. Can almost say the same about Sony fanboys, because most people here are simply Playstation fans and not fanboys per se (at least they don't come off as such), due to Playstation's absolute domination. The Playstation fans just live together peacefully, where Playstation domination is the norm and not a big deal for them really.

Hmmm, if you are saying PC elitists, I know who they are for the most part.  PC gamers in general, I'm sure there are more.  I mean, in a sense I am PC gamer as well since I play games on the PC.  Or, well, I mean gamers who primarily game (or exclusively) on the PC.  There's a big difference in attitude in what I've seen.  I actually don't really know any Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo fanboys in real life (that I've talked to and know about).  But, the fact that it's so easy to find the PC ones is odd to me.  I really only find the fanboys of the big three here.

The best PC elitist I've talked to at least recognized some of the points I made, while most of them ignore them completely.  The thing is is that my experience is that you can't have a normal discussion with them.  If it isn't something they can debate with you, they say  "I don't care" or something really rude.  Someone I know who plays Nintendo mostly is willing to talk, at least.  

Of course I'm sure that the experiences others have are different, but I wish I didn't have to deal with these kinds of people.  It'd be better if they were more uniform of a group.

edit: I just noticed when I said "here" it sounded like I was saying vgchartz.  I meant online.
