Vintage Applefags Are Insufferable

Why are vintage Applefags so insufferable? >be at computer con >looking through the vintage models, Ataris, Spectrums, Amigas and Commodores >all nice people their late 50's or 60's, easy to talk to, clearly have a normal amount of passion for these old things and are invested in keeping them alive because they grew up with them and cherish the time >come by the vintage Apple computers >early-30's something dudebro hipster locks eyes with me as I'm looking at his table >"HEY DUDE LOOK AT THIS, THIS IS THE APPLE MACINTOSH 5 (A)SS. YOU SEE THIS IS A ONE OF A KIND MODEL BECAUSE STEVE JOBS REALLY HATED IT AND SENT WOZNIAK TO THE PENIS EXPLOSION CHAMBER FOR MERELY THINKING ABOUT IT IN HIS VICINITY BUT WOZNIAK DECIDED THEY SHOULD RELEASE IT ANYWAY AND IT SOLD 3 BAZILLION UNITS"

A 4chan-style greentext describes a visitor at a vintage computer convention meeting friendly older enthusiasts, then encountering an overconfident early-thirties Apple hipster who invents an absurd Macintosh history involving Steve Jobs, Wozniak, and a “penis explosion chamber.” The joke mocks insufferable Apple fanboys who turn ordinary vintage hardware into exaggerated pseudo-lore.
