To Know Too Much

It's a fact and you're just going to have to come to terms with it: knowing certain things is going to make you gay.  If you're a man, a good example would be sewing (or grooming, or Buffy the Vampire Slayer); if you're a woman, it's harder to become gay but a good example of something that would make you a male-homosexual-style social pariah (i.e. an unattractive but disquietingly still sexual woman) would be vibrators, cats, or Twilight.  Avoid vampires in either case. 

Maybe you acquired intellectual curiosity early in life, and you're trying to gain information about everything, particularly things that seem like social phenomena that matter deeply to some people.  Maybe you have the mistaken belief that learning will enrich your life.  Don't fall for these lies.

Be a smart information-consumer: if you're unsure whether a particular knowledge base is gay, check out a popular internet forum.  If the guys there hate it but are willing to post long, punctuated screeds about why it is awful, it's just fine and you may learn more about it without becoming gay.  If, however, they're simply using offhand references to someone with this interest metonymously to represent people of low character and social standing, then you will immediately have to give up playing Pokemon, and disavow and/or forget everything you have learned about it. 

If this is making you feel qualmy, be assured that thinking less of someone because they know more than you is perfectly natural, and, why, just everyone does it sometimes!  Yes, even Phil Nugent.  When directed toward the educated of means and privilege, it is a regular human trait called "anti-intellectualism", the source of the term "over-educated".  When directed towards the knowledge bases of school-leavers (e.g. sport, making a lamp), it is called "elitism".  When directed toward those with specialist subjects, it is called "being a normal person with girlfriends and not a creepy autistic-spectrum shut-in".  When directed towards women with domestic or personal-care interests, it is called "WIN A LOAD OF MAN-GADGETS".  All of these groups of people--riches, poors, nerds, women--are vile, and have helpfully signified themselves as such by having different priorities from you, probably out of spite.  If it's not spite, well, maybe they're just too dumb to know how stupid knowing all that stuff makes them look.
