Oh, I see it.
Why can't we edit topic titles?

Cool story, bro. What do you want us to do about it?
It's a trope. A storytelling device that commonly shows up in media. It is very, very common for loners to be considered freaks in media. It sucks, but it's true.
We can't delete tropes because someone gets a little hurt over it. This wiki is about documenting all tropes, not just documenting PC tropes. Why do you think we have stuff like Token Minority and Disposable Woman?

I don't think he's asking for the trope to be deleted, just complaining about it's existence. Perhaps it bugs him?
OP: I agree about the first trope, but I think the latter can be used yo good effect.

Many ineffectual people are loners, but not all loners are ineffectual.

I don't know what the US is like now if Bohemians are considered freaks; they're pretty common amongst continental European students, or at least that certain attitude embodied in the ideals.

We have a thread for this kind of thing. Here you go.
...as well as the Ineffectual Loner trope. These tropes are strongly discriminatory against more introverted and reserved people.
