I am reading a computer article about virtual machines.

My question is that what "sad" means in the sentence below?

I don't think it means "unhappy", because the writer says that he loves virtual machines.

I love virtual machines (VMs) and I have done for a long time. If that
makes me “sad” or an “anorak”, so be it. I love them because they are
so much fun, as well as being so useful.

He means to say he doesn't care, even if he seems pathetic or geeky or introvert, He still love VMs anyways.
