Re: Complain about nerd culture here

[(Anonymous)]

I really hate a lot of male nerds. I will actually avoid them.

(To a certain extent, female nerds, too, especially the more loud and personal-space-invading fangirls.)

I know this is bad, and you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover... but in my head I'm expecting them to say something sexist. So many of them just seem so bitter and angry and wanting to prove their masculinity, it's kinda sad. A lot of them are super elitist, too.

I'm tired of encountering that BS in fan circles so now I just avoid big social things like cons. I just want to enjoy my stuff in piece.

Yeah, I find cons so embarrassing and so many of the people there have no self-awareness, I find it easier just not to attend. I wanna nerd out with other nerds, but it's so difficult to find people irl who don't take it too far or make it the only aspect of themselves.

or make it the only aspect of themselves.

oh man, that last bit gives words to what i really dislike.

so many of them make their geeky interests EVERYTHING about themselves, and it becomes this all-consuming obsession. like a substitute for actual personality.

nayrt It is usually men who have the time/focus/social void to do that, and I feel sorry for their kids/partner should they reproduce.

In anime fandoms, it's usually women who do that from what I can tell. Save for the guys who are all about shonen anime/manga, anyways.

Re: Complain about nerd culture here

Yeah, this was a large reason why I stopped going to my local comic shop's monthly artist get-together. All the guys there pretty much fit the characterization of the stereotypical male nerd to a T. At least two girls I knew there were edgelord try-hards who had that "I'm not like other girls" mentality and I didn't get along with any of them. Just wasn't worth going to, and my permanent switch to digital art only helped hasten that choice.

I only go to cons just to see celebrities I like, do a couple panels, scope out the artist alley and/or dealer rooms, then spend the rest of the con doing stuff outside of it with my friends. That's it.

That really sucks. :( That sounds like a really toxic environment and I wouldn't want to be involved in that either.

I basically do the same at cons, though the cons I go to are so small that people there tend to just be very friendly. I got into a friendly debate about characters with a guy I waited in line with for an autograph and we shook hands afterward. :D

It depends really. I'm always amused by my boss because he is simultaneously a shipper and a 'problematic' typical sexist male nerd. I've never got into a fight with him, but I have brought up pro-feminist things from time to time when we discuss movies, etc. and it is always tricky trying to talk to him about this stuff. He's gotten a bit better though, but he does still carry a lot of antiquated ideas about gender roles and what not.
