I'm still confused how anyone can get mad at anyone for this. In my book the nerd image is still a bad thing that sane people want to get rid off and people who knowingly choose to appear nerdy without having any genuine knowledge of or interest in nerdy stuff are simply ridiculous. They aren't taking away something cool from us, they are making complete asses of themselves and we should just enjoy their stupidity.

you cannot get rid of the nerd image, if your hobbies are considered "nerdy".

Vin Diesel somehow gets away with being a gamer. Think about it.

What's wrong with having a "nerd image"?

I can't believe we are arguing about "nerdism". XD This is both the most wonderful and most bizarre forum on the web. :D

Damn hipsters.

nothing, it's awesome. i love talking about nerdy things with my coworkers. Yeah , nerd pride. let's protest for more rights, while hating everyone who has a different opinion.

I think he is making fun of people who think they can be someone by dressing a certain way or buying something.

Eh? Well, I avoid hate, it's bad for the digestion, but I'll march with the nerds anytime. ;)

allright attend nerd bootcamp then and learn how to get bullied and avoided properly.

I think he's actually getting mad at others for enjoying the "privileges" of this specific subculture without genuinely being a part of it.

oh come on you saint!

Actually we're discussing nerdelitism.

Thank you. Apparently those many hours of playing Saints Row weren't a waste of time after all.

I hate your, sympathetic way of avoiding arguments. and somehow also love it...

Nice to see that my "charming asshole" approach also works on the internet.
