Now it's nothing but video-game-playing-bi-curious-college-roomates-fucking-pokemon-while-having-emotional-outbursts bullshit. I don't want to be associated with any of that crap, and that's why I think I'm changing my work. Guilty by association and all that (something I want to avoid).

Look around; you'll find some decent folks who aren't nutjobs and still retain a pretty good grip on reality. They just tend to stick to the shadows these days and likely aren't as vocal as the screaming mimis are.
