I mean it's nerd blackface basically if I'm being only slightly hyperbolic
There's no centuries-long systemic oppression and denigration of "nerds", blackface is a terrible word choice.
It gets the point across and I don't really care to come up with a substitute, you're just ignoring it to argue sensitive
Clearly you've never watched a 80's-90's movie set in a highschool
I’m gen X. I’ve seen them all. FWIW, the nerds usually emerge victorious.
What, you mean the theater nerds made themselves the hero of their own movies? Big surprise
Lol, yeah. That’s the point of the movies s/he cited, the opposite of what s/he was trying to accomplish.
What did you expect?
victorious as in lose their virginity
Found the fucking jock
I’m in my basement, with collected 80’s Robotech and Transformers toys, a 3D printer, a self-built watercooled gaming PC, a linux PC, boxes of decades of tech junk, a printed Darth Vader helmet I’m trying to finish so maybe I can go to a ‘con suited up, a backup of all of my favorite movies like Better off Dead and Princess Bride…. And I’m on Lemmy.
Yeah. Total jock.
But go ahead and make up whatever suits you.
