NPCs are using the word weird because it's their latest programming.
Funny thing is you can show them how programmed they are and all you'll see is a recalibration of their senses as they do some mental gymnastics then they go back to their default state.
When people call you WEIRD the correct response is yes.
Exactly. Lean in. It takes the power of the insult away instantly.
Own your weirdness.
"I used to think that anyone doing anything weird was weird. I suddenly realized that anyone doing anything weird wasn't weird at all and it was the people saying they were weird that were weird." - Paul McCartney
