Our newest hire is a gangly 23-year old cosplayer who's very openly and loudly queer - and sounds all too proud when she points out that "everyone she knows is queer" - and has no ability to converse about anything other than books ("omg i just bought the whole witcher books series, and also I speak Quenya") and her D&D escapades including the hundreds of hours of audio recordings of every session with the same faefaggotry sparklegobbo character. Most of the staff is in their mid-30s to late-40s, so whenever we're talking about other hobbies or life choices, she's either sternly quiet and stares into the wall, or loudly attempting to steer the topic into her narrow arena of nerdcore narcissism. She always talks 60% louder than whoever else is participating in conversation, and always laughs/reacts like a goddamn anime character or youtube shill. She's a lanky goblin with an aggravating social skills deficit, but she had precisely the technical profile our department had looked for for a very long time.

tl;dr - it's not just when surrounded by their ilk that these people are decibel douchefucks
