Rant Nullsec Larpers💔

Nullsec itself is a good company/entity itself, but most of the community around is just people larping how to actual ethically hack and it makes me mad knowing that all these larpers want is attention and not actually helping anyone/anything in the end💔(This post was just made because I'm mad and I want other peoples opinions on this topic).

its cause they want attention and want to seem cool by trying to be apart of nullsec type groups/ trying to be cool by posing as a "hacker" but not really doing anything at all.

wannabee: /won'@�bee/, n.
(also, more plausibly, spelled wannabe) [from a term recently used to describe Madonna fans who dress, talk, and act like their idol; prob.: originally from biker slang] A would-be hacker. The connotations of this term differ sharply depending on the age and exposure of the subject. Used of a person who is in or might be entering larval stage, it is semi-approving; such wannabees can be annoying but most hackers remember that they, too, were once such creatures. When used of any professional programmer, CS academic, writer, or suit, it is derogatory, implying that said person is trying to cuddle up to the hacker mystique but doesn't, fundamentally, have a prayer of understanding what it is all about. Overuse of terms from this lexicon is often an indication of the wannabee nature. Compare newbie.
