I am not sure why there is so much hate and vitriol against Peter Molynuex's ... uh, what did you say, "arty farty". On the comments for the Engadget article, there were lots and lots of incessant comments about his pretentiousness. People reacting with cringes. What is up with that? It's like listening to a bunch of middle school kids at an art museum.
- dreen 13y agowell, because, sounding pretentious is a negative connotation. pre·ten·tious /priˈtenCHəs/ Adjective Attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed. I have no hate for PM, he is a cool guy. But sometimes he is needlessly pretentious.
- hosh 13y agoThat doesn't answer anything. I know what pretentious means. What I don't understand is why people _don't_ think what Molyneux is doing is important, or have culture. Why do people _feel_ hatred and shame for him?
