Maybe your desire to not find shit out is the reason you don't know shit?

[(Anonymous)]

nerf - verb, (slang) to water down, dumb down or especially weaken, particularly in video games.

Wild to me someone wouldn't know this, but maybe it's specific to video game circles? It's been around forever.

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt - it must be subculture-specific; I've never come across it before.

[(Anonymous)]

The lack of that knowledge could be subculture specific, to whatever subculture you belong to. That is possible too.

[iff_and_xor]

I think the term has moved outwards from its epicenter of “video game players”

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I've heard it many times in non-gaming contexts.

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt - honestly, I think it is fun learning about my own bias, like things I assume are common knowledge that aren't always.

[(Anonymous)]

Like a Nerf gun. Toy guns powered by air and firing foam darts.

To "nerf" something is to make it less effective or powerful, usually used in a gaming context.

Orrrrr...

[(Anonymous)]

They could buff everyone else. Because let me tell you, Wakanda, the real Wakanda, is already nerfed in the MCU.

Re: Orrrrr...

[(Anonymous)]

Comic Wakanda is kinda, you know, evil though. Like for real evil. I'd rather not have that.

Re: Orrrrr...

[(Anonymous)]

DA - are they? I am not too familiar with comics Wakanda. Maybe I should look em up.

AYRT

[(Anonymous)]

Whatever their moral standing is, that's not the issue in this secret.

The complaint is that Wakanda is op compared to the rest of the MCU and needs to be nerfed. In reality, it's already been severely nerfed in the MCU—like incredibly nerfed. In the comics, Wakanda has been building towards a powerful galactic empire for years.

Re: Orrrrr...

[(Anonymous)]

Top be honest, they coime across as pretty evil in the MCU too, for those who are paying attention to the things they actually do and have a knowledge of the region's history.

[erinptah]

I don't think it's "they want it to be analogous to real-world Earth" so much as "the writers aren't all caught up on which parts are supposed to be more-advanced."

So you get people defaulting to writing things they're familiar with, even if logically the characters should've been using something more magical/sci-fi that's available from Stark Industries/the Wakandan Outreach Center/Pym Technologies/the New Asgard consulate/their cousin who's a sorcerer/whoever.
