Unfortunately I can't argue with that.

In turn, if you ask someone in person you'll find that Brazilians are under the general impression that the emulation scene is populated by arrogant assholes.

Brazilians who are into computers generally love retro gaming and emulators though, especially Atari 2600, Megadrive, NES, SNES and arcade games. Even people that aren't into computers love retro gaming. I've fixed many an office or family PC with one or more emulators installed on them.

I'm not pretending, just defending...I've been here for 5 years now and I'm starting to understand the huge language- and cultural divide that exist between Brazil and the English speaking world. There is no reason to learn English, there is a superficial curiosity "Isn't it very cold in Denmark?" but most Brazilians are not really concerned with what goes on outside of Brazil. Or in the emulation scene.
