Sometimes sword nerds can be a little defensive about their hobby, and might be inclined to repond with something akin to "no, YOU're weird!", whenever "normies" regard their interest in weapons with some suspicion.

Personally I can understand why it can seem a little odd to folks outside of this particular community. In the vast majority of cases a fascination with the martial side of history is perfectly benign, and there is no need to begrudge anyone else what they enjoy. But can we really blame people for jumping to conclusions? Ignorant conclusions perhaps, but understandable. :)
