Here is a couple of excerpts from an article called "15 types of Annoying Steampunks" steampunk.wonderhowto.com/foru…

I picked out a few to paste here. Do with them what you will. By the way I am firmly #2. With a sprinkling of a few others. And make no bones about it, lol.

1. The Nerf Modders

These folks love to paint Nerf weapons and use them in their costumes. Generally speaking, these are un-modded Nerf weapons that have been painted to look Steampunk-y. No matter how good these guns look, they are still instantly recognizable to everyone as Nerf guns. Nerf Modders usually don't care to spend the time or money to make more impressive props, so they often find themselves fighting for legitimacy within the community.

11. The Complimenters

The Complimenters are the opposite of The Downers. Anytime someone posts a picture of themselves or of something they made, the Complimenters will jump on to say something unhelpful like "Oh, that looks great!" instead of providing any real, useful feedback.

14. The Self-Taught

The Self-Taught have learned some kind of skill all on their own, either by trial and error, reading books, or watching YouTube videos. They are very proud of the skills they've taught themselves, and as a result they refuse to accept criticism from anyone, even from professionals in their field. The Self-Taught firmly believe that they have discovered the best way to do anything, and won't be told otherwise.

Oh dear, haha.

I'm a bit scared to read that list in its entirety (you'd think the steampunk community could use all the solidarity it can find??) :P
