<p>When talking of someone who is really into a thing, especially aspects of
it that are often thought to be off-putting such as jank in old video
games or the hassle of maintaining a trash-picked bicycle, a term I've been
using more and more recently is "pervert" or, if in company who are not
familiar with the usage, "pervert (positive)".</p>
<p>I am not entirely sure where I picked it up.
I would want to say I remember <a href="https://kayin.moe/">Kayin</a> using it, but
I'm not entirely sure.
I did pick it up within the last couple years, so Cohost is a pretty
reasonable guess for where I picked it up from.</p>
<p>I'm interested in hearing about others' usage of the term with same or
similar meaning, so send me an e-mail (see <a href="https://ahti.space/~nortti/">my home
page</a> for my address) if you've encountered it.</p>
