Ask HN: Am I anti-fun for not liking Nerf guns

Depends on the context. If you're (as I suspect) talking about not liking playing with Nerf guns yourself or not appreciating people using them around in you a professional environment, not at all. If you're walking around complaining about children playing with Nerf guns, maybe just a little.

No, you're an adult. I don't personally know anyone that's been into Nerf since the mid 90's.

Nerf guns are a rather narrow definition of fun.

Context is pretty important here and we have none.

But if you don't like it in an office setting that might be understandable depending on circumstances.

The proper response might be .... to shoot the perpetrators with some sort of foam flinging weapon...

I like the easily concealed "jolt". Walk by a cube, one shot to the back of the head like a professional does it and you just keep walking.

Nerf guns in the office is the worst, I don't understand what's the obsession with nerf guns in "start-up"s. It's incredibly distracting and sometimes dangerous, everybody just abuses it and list it as a "perk" to attract frat boys to work for their company.

In an office, fuck off, no.

At home? I have a cat that loves chasing nerf darts. I'd raise an eyebrow with you if you questioned my owning one or two. It's just too damn funny to watch the cat go nuts and then look at me like I'm the bad guy when the dart stops moving.

Just play along. Do you want to be rejected for being a bad cultural-fit?
