Re: Nerd Elitism

[herpymcderp]

I suppose I'm slightly elitist about people who call themselves nerds without ever having been the subject of derision because other people identified them as nerds. ...In that I have an almost knee-jerk NO YOU AREN'T response. I'd never actually decide anyone was a fake on first impression, because how the hell would I know?

My rational self realizes that the changing definition of "nerd" is just a sign of the times and I should be a bit happier that people can be nerds without necessarily being picked on because of it. Also, I know it's a bit hypocritical of me because I was a relatively "cool" nerd for my last few years of highschool.

Just the last vestiges of being bullied rearing their ugly head, I guess.

"You're not really a nerd, because nobody made fun of you!!"? No. The prerequesite to being a nerd is to be nerdy about something. Reaction to your nerdiness has no factor.

Kiddo, back in my day being a nerd was something that got you lit on fire very literally.

And?

It's a GOOD thing that nerds aren't marginalized the way we used to be. Why would you act like one has to be abused or bullied to be part of a group? It kinda makes it sound like the abuse/bullying is a necessary rite of passage and not an actual bad thing. :/

Re: Nerd Elitism

[herpymcderp]

Uhhhh... That's exactly what I just said in my original comment? My lingering definition of being a "nerd" is something I still associate with being subject to bullying, but I also just said I realize it's a good thing that's no longer as much of a problem.

Also in my original comment I made sure I mentioned I don't actively decide who is and isn't a nerd. It kind of follows that I'm not treating anyone differently.

Re: Nerd Elitism

[diet_poison]

Well, in your original comment you made it sound like you were thinking about and correcting this knee-jerk response, but in the comment I replied to, you were just a straight-up ass. Calling someone "kiddo" is rude and condescending and definitely makes it look like you're judging them. (Hence why I responded to that comment with criticism, and not your first.)

Re: Nerd Elitism

[herpymcderp]

Sure. That's true. But that anon who responded to me ignored the part of my comment where I hashed out those details, as if they just read the first sentence and decided that I was judging whether or not people were "nerds" based on whether or not they were bullied.

So yeah, I responded tersely to someone not taking into account what I actually wrote.

Re: Nerd Elitism

[diet_poison]

I expect they were responding to the kneejerk reaction bit.

Re: Nerd Elitism

[herpymcderp]

Considering someone has been trolling me for the past three weeks idk what to think about these kinds of anon comments anymore.

In that light, you're probably right. I guess I should apologize under the assumption that I'm misreading intent.

Re: Nerd Elitism

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, herpy, you flatter me so. I'm 33. So, "kiddo" not so much. Thanks for being a condescending ass, though.

Re: Nerd Elitism

[herpymcderp]

K

Edit: It's probably too late for you to see this, but I apologize. I was probably misinterpreting your intent with your comment. I assumed you were trolling or deliberately ignoring parts of my comment, and that was shitty of me.

Sorry, anon.
