"Windows Kid"
8/11/2023
When it comes to growing up in an online space. I grew up to be the "Windows kid" type. one of the reasons I got into it not because I was passionate about windows or any of that. I got into it because I thought that I was the only child in the world to obsess/be fascinated about stuff like old operating systems and hardware. I used to think I was the coolest kid in the world because of it...until I was 16 years old. I remember being recommended to use deviantart to upload stuff I made in photoshop there, My deviantart is still active but I'm considering deleting it due to just how much I despise going to that platform, it's I entered a zone thats radioactive without a hazard suit. I found a BIG community that were just me, toddlers to adults who mess around with windows operating systems and such. I've seen it being VERY common with the BFDI/Object Show community to be specific. I know absolutely nothing about it so I really cannot give my opinion and prespective. though I do know that they tend to be in the lower bottom of fandom hell, I'm talking about the "dudes with a mediocre artstyle who are enthusiasts about things like classic disney cartoons, go animate, BFDI, Old Roblox, Windows,Thomas the Tank Engine, etc etc" I really hate to express negative opinions but I'm just SO glad that I dodged a bullet of me becoming one of them. they usually end up being man children or weirdos and sometimes just straight up nazis. I used to know someone who falls under the stereotype. there are moments where I do say hi to them but I just feel totally uneasy being around them since they are sorrounded by the exact same people I almost ended up becoming. thinking about it makes me nauseous for some reason. maybe because I can smell how their room smells like. ough the horror...
