BBT is pretty damn bad too. I can't remember where I heard this but I heard or read it described as "geek blackface" and I think that sums it up pretty effectively.

[philstar22]

That's what I meant. Seinfeld is bad, but BBT is worse.

[(Anonymous)]

+1. Seinfeld was occasionally funny but mostly mean and dull. BBT is just plain terrible.

[(Anonymous)]

described as "geek blackface" and I think that sums it up pretty effectively.

Yup.

Or as I like to say, making geek stuff "safe" for the masses.

[(Anonymous)]

Cool. We totally need more gatekeeping in fandom.

[(Anonymous)]

It feels pretty disproportionate to me to invoke blackface when talking about BBT and geeks. And it's also totally unnecessary to actually make the point you're trying to make - that BBT consistently views the nerdiness of its characters as ridiculous and that it's usually the butt of the joke.

DA

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah. I prefer to put it as "BBT tries to be a humorous show with geeks, but really the geeks ARE the joke, over and over again"

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I'm pretty moderate in my social-justice-iness, and even I'm pretty uncomfortable with invoking blackface for something like this.
