Forums - Gaming - You're Not such a Nerd: Commodification of Nerd and Gamer Sub-culture

 

I found this video and I want to see what  you guys think.



Around the Network

Was expecting it to be a load of crap, but found myself agreeing with what he was saying.



While I do like TBBT, it really does show show the aspect of a nerd negatively, blowing it out of proportion and even not showing/mask the real problem of being a nerd.

A was a lad growing up not being fit in place I live, even to the point of taken my lunch at school not knowing and boy did I get beaten by outing the person... made me even more introvert until I met someone.

So yeah, the american way commercializing this nerd and geek trend/thing is not the best way... It's not addressing it, more poke fun at it.

One point i agree with is the passing gripe at people who post on facebook "i did X, i'm such a nerd."

Always want to reply "no, no, you're not."

I hope this addresses people wearing those stupid black rimmed glasses, even when they don't have a vision problem.

To be frank, I'm bispecled and they are a hassle to me, I envy people who do not need them. But seeing people wearing them just for the purpose looking "nerdy", I'm not sure if I have to feel praised or offended? ~_^

Do they even know how frusterating to even have one? -_-'

I honestly felt cool for a second wearing my friend's glasses, I felt like they suited me. Then I was cross-eyed for half an hour, not so cool.
