google defines snob as a person with an exaggerated respect for high social position or wealth who seeks to associate with social superiors and dislikes people or activities regarded as lower-class.

i think its safe to say because of how our economy works (capitalism) a lot of people tend to be snob since being successful is everything while being a NEET is a loser and not to mention society value too much hard work that can go from rags to riches story (or the american dream is being spread world wide more)

and the saying that tell me your friends are then i tell you who you are is implying to only be friends with successful people too to not get infected by laziness of the poor or losers

how about your thoughts? and do not discuss ThatAnimeSnob he is already permanent banned here on MAL anyway but ye he is a fine example of a snob or being elitists when it comes to anime at least

You mean people who desperately want to be seen as part of the blue blood or aristocratic class?

I'm not physically rich enough to be a snob. I'm also not mentally rich enough to be a snob. I think it's fine to be a snob unless you're being annoying , otherwise I don't care.

As someone who lives in a all white neighborhood, I hate snobs. Too many people here try to flex whether it be with cars, clothes, etc. People even flex with Camaro's here, but Camaro's cost like 26k. Our mom van is more expensive.

Tend to find snobs boring and lacking company. So no, I am not a snob and I don't care much for them.

I have never considered myself to be a snob, but I know people with social anxiety are often mistaken for being a snob. If I ever did come across as being a snob, it would not be intentional, despite any antisocial vibes I may give off IRL.

maybe a lot of people define snob in broad way like anyone that likes to reject any person can be viewed as a snob

i can somewhat understand the view of the public about mentally sick people being anti-social though even though the mentally sick do not intend too deep inside

I just always know that there's a reason behind the reason why people may act a certain way. For instance, if someone is mean and hateful, I look at it deeper, and realize that their hate for others stems from them more than likely hating themselves. Looking at life with that kind of lens allows for those feeling like they are being hated on to understand the reasons behind those actions.

I think snobs are one of the worst kinds of people, especially the ones you encounter in school. I've personally never been attacked by one, but they do go out of their way to bully and make the lower-class people's lives a misery.

I hate snobs. I respect more middle to middle upper class activitites/people. I won't disrespect lower class people but atleast in my country not a single one has any interest in being educated. Like they just don't know how to behave.

But being a snob is just plain out arrogant. However at some point when you have so many bad experience with the lower class, being a snob is the only option. However in this country the upper class is even worse than the lower class, like in any country in the world. The upper class in the Dominican Republic is the perfect face of arrogancy. They see themselves as untouchable. For example the son of a government official fought a police officer and the car rammed it, left unpunished. A famous model caused a big ass long clogging in the streets because she was talking to someone in the sidewalk. She refused to move and eventually people started honking and she just took out a gun and shoot two warning shots.

So I'm not a snob, just a selective arrogant.

That's not even close to what that expression means.

The implication is that, for example, if you're the type to mostly befriend and associate with troublemakers and the like, you're likely a troublemaker as well (or will be influenced in that direction.) It's similar to the whole "birds of a feather" thing, and has nothing to do with ostracizing the poor.

Yes, it oversimplifies things if taken too literally, and yes, there are snobby individuals who would interpret it the way you do, but they're nowhere NEAR as prolific as you seem to think they are.
Important Note: I no longer - in any way, shape, or form - consider myself a moral nihilist (even in my old, convoluted definition of the term). I very much do believe there is such a thing as objective good and evil. In addition, I apologize for any of the posts I've made that are rude, aggressive, or otherwise unbecoming.

I've always striven to walk a path befitting a follower of Christ, and now recognize some of my old comments here as misguided if not outright wrong. If you happen upon them, pray do not let them darken your view of the God I serve. He is kind, even if I, at times, have not been.

how about your thoughts? and do not discuss ThatAnimeSnob he is already permanent banned here on MAL anyway but ye he is a fine example of a snob or being elitists when it comes to anime at least


I've heard about this dude once, mind telling me the more details of how he got perma, perhaps threads with his reply/quote/thread will do if you have one... Thanks in advance as always.

Anyway, I'm still dependent on my parents so I actually dunno, if you're speak more on MAL terms, then I guess I'm neutral. I mean, they have their own worlds and I have mine, why should I bother with his when I have mine and the opposite?

i do not know the details of his permaban but i heard he is causing a lot of trolling arguments on his profile so MAL decided to permanently ban him since his reviews are trolling material to begin with anyway, he does not post in the forums actively just him making a lot of reviews

I came from a middle class family and am now a broke af college student so. I don't think I'm able to be the dictionary definition of a snob.
But I also grew up in a hick-ass town so I knew a lot of poor/low class kids. And as far as I could tell, as long as they weren't assholes or weirdos, people treated them pretty normal here
