This is something I'll never understand. If I won the lottery tomorrow I'd disappear in a puff of smoke. You wouldn't catch me dead making a Tweet about it, much less fighting people over random bullshit
It all comes back to "Drama Kids" from school. And I don't mean people who love to spread drama, but I mean theater kids. They LOOOOVE the spotlight, hence why they went into theater. They crave the attention, and they're willing to put themselves out there for it regardless.
Oh yeah, those theater kids and their notorious disdain of LGBT and other marginalized groups.
You're saying you've never met or known a theater person who wasn't a total piece of shit? Because I've known a few myself. They're the star of the show, regardless of what's going on around them.
That's what I'm talking about.
I believe the technical term you’re looking for is narcissist, “theater person” is bit of a broader metric.
If anything, theatre person is a narrow metric. There are people who have never stepped a foot in theatre but they're narcissists.
Well no, I was just making a joke about the stereotype.
So in your ideal world, there are no actors, artists, musicians, public speakers, or any other people whose work involves being in front of an audience? Can’t wait to live in your beige cubical farm of a metropolis.
