There has always been deviants, and there have always been two kind of deviants: the ones that figure out how to blend with the masses while retaining their identity, and the ones that meet sad ends at the wrong side of a pitchfork.

At least the second method seems to have become much easier with the advent of the internet (first probably too, but that's a whole other subject).
- crpatino 11y agoRight, I'd considered those to be part of the first group, but the differences are too obvious to not grant a cathegory of their own. At the end of day, though, it all boils down to claiming a niche in society. If you fill a niche, your excentricities will be tolerated, otherwise you will be labeled as "other" and ostracized.
