There's also a distinct difference between someone asking "Who?" or someone showing up in a topic saying, "I've never seen that movie or played that game." There are definitely people like Vlado who get off on purposely not having knowledge or experience. Being detached or purposely disengaged is worn as a badge of distinction among a lot of people. But it's easy to conflate the "Who?"s with the "Ha, I don't waste my time on this shit, and I get off on saying so"s. I tend to not engage either, personally, but I also don't mind looking something up on Google if I'm not sure what it is. I think, as much as I hate to say it, that you have to judge the comment by the user. If it's someone that often enjoys intentionally currying clout in their own minds by being disaffected by the world, then you know they're not asking because they actually give a shit.

Like, I get it. Jake Paul is a scummy guy with no real value to society, and it's fun to dunk on him. But I think there are better ways to do it than making yourself look ignorant.
