You cannot force creativity on people anyway, it's a trait just like intelligence is.. Some people have bundles, some have none and most are middling between. Smugness over thinking alot of people liking one thing and you wanting to "break the mold" coz you are so special points out an character flaw I find far more lacking than a percieved lack of creativity.

Ohh you like a popular video game? Why arn't you writing a book or painting a masterpiece? That must hurt your hipster sensibilities... Or does this rule only extend to other people and what you personally do and do not like? :P
Please point out a contradiction. I referenced my original post about personal glamour no-no's when talking about how I would find another person's glamour boring. I pointed out what I thought was boring or otherwise lacking in creativity/consistency because someone asked. There is not a contradiction between people liking something to the point of ubiquity, and other people finding that "something" boring because it's so ubiquitous. People are allowed to think differently, they're called opinions. The thread discusses why so many players are content to wear the same thing as the next person (the previously mentioned "ubiquitous" example).

Specifically to being smug: Let's say, you like coffee, I like tea. I can think, "Man, you don't know what you're missing out on", because that's my opinion. I can think tea is the best thing in the world, and think you and all the other coffee drinkers have bad taste. I'm allowed to think that because it's my opinion, just as it might be your opinion to think my tea tastes like laundry water, and you assume I have bad taste.

My ring? I like color over plain white (diamond with color flashes, but otherwise white). My ring reflects that. And you know what? I picked it for myself because that's what I wanted to do, and I love the thing. If I had a diamond, I wouldn't feel the same way because I prefer color over plain white (the purple sapphire gives me color flashes, too, and alexandrite changes color depending on the lighting, it's really neat).

I think you're getting an entirely different tone from what I intended, that's fine, I never was here to appeal to you or change your mind. I stated my opinion in the thread and pointed out an example of someone I FELT was exactly the type of person this thread is about. Then they and I had a dialog, not terribly inflammatory I think.
