'Nerd culture' has simply been stolen.

All of the original creative minds that made it great are retired, dead, or have simply been bullied out of the industry one way or another.

This happened at the exact same time these little rich kids stopped calling you 'nerd' and instead started calling you 'dudebros', and then just 'bros'. The second your identity became positive, and theirs became negative, they simply took your identity from you, and forced theirs upon you, and used their media connections to do it.

It's like 90's/2000's high school never fucking ended. The people attacking you now are the same fucking people who attacked you then. The only difference is that now they do it while wearing your best friend's corpse as a skin suit.

So true and explains “girl gamers” as well.

I remember when Pokemon Go came out, there were all these people on Facebook talking about it.

Most of them were the same people that used to bully me for playing Nintendo games.

I completely agree. It is why I disagree with any assessment that there's not enough bullying in schools or bullying would stop this evil. These people are bullies. They hate you and want to make you suffer and if you dare fight back they'll wail about how you're the bad guy.

I’ll check this out when I get home. But I’ve given up on newer stuff. It seems that the obsession over ticking boxes has overtaken good stories. Or look at the gaming industry

Film Threat? Chris Gore?

Wow. That’s a blast from the past.

Yeah, nerd culture is over.

The stuff I grew up loving has been replaced by a checklist of faggotry.
