I'm curious as to what fandoms you define as "non-nerdy" especially since apparently SPN is in the "nerdy" category

[(Anonymous)]

I'd argue that it can be in that as "mainstream" as it is, it does attract a lot of nerds.


The thing is, most SPN fans haven't watched the entire series 400 times and most SPN fans probably don't know every single minor character's name. That's when an interest becomes nerdy/fandomy.

(I'm not into SPN, but am the equivalent with other fandoms. Like Harry Potter - a lot of people love Harry Potter, but I know my House, I've re-read the series dozens of times, and I've written way too much fanfic. That's when it becomes nerdy.)

*shrug* I don't consume most media I enjoy more than once, and I don't know every minor character's name...I don't think that means I'm not a nerd. I nerd about them in other ways, and some of the stuff I enjoy is nerdy to begin with

By that logic, someone who watched every football game of their favorite team and knew all the stats of the players and could recite past championships and epic failures and knew all the coaches for the last two decades would be a nerd, and make football a "nerdy" fandom.

I mean, yeah, sports nerds are totally a thing imo, but the mainstream perception of "nerdiness" is not there.

[(Anonymous)]

I know like, very few people in SPN fandom that aren't 1. Scary as hell about their fandom, 2. On the level of evangelical about buttsex between an angel and a human.

There are some people that casually like it, but it's almost never my experience with the people in fandom. (Same with Doctor Who.) I've had fans of both fandoms full-on yell at me, in person, for just politely expressing that I didn't like either show. Not even a "scary as hell" like I just used, but a "It's not my kind of thing."

I don't even really experience this kind of shit with other mega-fandoms, like Harry Potter or Game of Thrones.

I think "nerdy" is things anon dislikes and "non-nerdy" is things anon likes.

lol, could very well be the case.

Our brother (who took IMMENSE stock in his non-nerdiness) was appalled, APPALLED that anyone would think his interest in LOTR was nerdy. He was there for the fight scenes and THAT WAS IT NERDS. And sure he was into video games, but it was all NON-NERDY games, like HALO, goddammit!

(Yes, we teased him about this. We were the nerdy one of the family. We had been awaiting this opportunity for EVER.)

...man, OP, I'm just saying, if you're being like my brother, I feel utmost pity for you.

...you're not my brother are you? I thought you left the Internet, bro.

[diet_poison]

honestly, he sounds kind of insufferable |D

[lb_lee]

He is a bit. Though he's gotten better since his teen years, in some ways. He seems to be realizing on some level he's not as "normal" as he always thought he was.

[diet_poison]

That's good!
