Notes:

Somebody's been spamming the submissions post with old secrets, apparently (for what actual purpose, I'm not sure). Just give me a heads up and I'll take the repeats down.

It's not funny and nerd stereotypes are so twenty thirty years ago

Seriously, everyone I was friends with in high school and myself -- we were all nerds and our lives didn't even come close to resembling that, and none of the nerds I've ever known were like that (doesn't matter what kind of nerd either -- fandom nerds, science nerds, whatever). I know it's just a tv show but the whole "shy nerdy dudes who don't know anything about getting laid or having a social life" thing is stupid and played out

Ah, okay. I'm not a huge comedy fan so I don't mind if it's not funny (which I actually think it often is). I also don't mind stereotypes because I feel it really works here. I don't really think of it as a show about a bunch of stereotypical nerds. I just think of it as a show about a bunch of interesting and smart people who are just trying to leave their mark on the world in their own little ways. So I guess it just comes down to perspective.

I hate the nerd stereotypes on different and competing levels. On the one hand, not all nerds are like that, and I don't like that almost all nerds are being portrayed that way. On the other hand, it's playing social difficulties and loneliness for laughs, and I hate that so much.

For "shy nerdy dudes who don't know anything about getting laid or having a social life" they sure get laid a lot, and have a decent social life.

I was always nerdy and awkward at school and I kind of love that there's a show that has made such people into the main characters and it's not always to emphasise how wrong and undesirable they are...though yeah there's elements of that.

But I'm from England and even though I got given hell at school for being a geek, maybe I didn't have it quite as bad compared to over in the States because I've noticed that over here most people love TBBT but when I speak about it to people from the States most of them hate it and bring up the portrayal of geeks/nerds as the reason.

It would be nice to have more female characters who have those interests who aren't as emotionally detached as Amy though. I also have a problem with the Penny/Leonard thing for many reasons.
