Even better, girls are way cliquier than guys. Not acting like being a nerd is a big deal, its a common interest that a group of people can bond over. And its very current, so your argument is the equivalent of saying "Youtube probably won't be around in a few years, so your channel and views don't even matter"
My argument wasn't equivalent to that at all. You said a few posts ago that some people jump from social group to social group on a yearly basis, meaning they'd only be around to annoy
your social group for a limited time. Let me make a better example of what I mean. I love Lord of the Rings. I own all the books and the movies and many of Tolkien's other works such as
The Silmarillion. Obviously, I'm a fan. Was it kind of annoying to me when other fans who have only seen the movies or
just got into it because it was a big thing when The Hobbit came out in theaters? Well, yeah, there was minor irritation, but those people are just going to pass on through until the next Iron Man movie comes out. So there isn't any reason for me to complain about them. Also, fandoms in general are f
ucking annoying and ruin most things so I try to steer clear of people who take media too seriously.
I don't play CoD, I don't enjoy playing against bots and people who feel the need to just be annoying
So you really don't have any reason to complain about "fake" nerds who only play CoD, do you? They're not harming your gaming experience in any way.
I realize memes have been around for a long time, but not in the capacity that they are at and the locations where they're being posted. Its like /b/ exploded.
Memes have long been an annoying thing on the internet. They're not going away anytime soon. Most places you see these things are on social media sites now. You aren't obligated to have to be around those people.
I know 1337 speak is a nerd thing....that was the point.
So you're admitting that nerds came up with something incredibly annoying. And actually, when I think about it, I haven't seen
anyone seriously use 1337 speak since, like, the early 2000s. So that's kind of a non-issue.
I'm a signed rapper, played football on a semi pro level where I'm from, and consider myself a nerd by definition so you implying that I have narrow interests is incredibly wrong.
I never said you had narrow interests nor did I intend to imply that. I was simply saying that, for myself, I don't affiliate myself with any one social group because I have a variety of interests and friends. To be frank, most social groups wouldn't want me because I'm not highly invested in most of my interests. They're interests to me, not a lifestyle. I'm not serious enough about those things to be welcomed in those groups. I like what I like and I don't care what other people like them.
'You know what is worse than these people saturating social groups? Conceited people who think they are too grown up and so well rounded that they are above all social groups and need to educate those lesser minds who associate themselves with a "brand"
That's quite a lot of vitriol you have there. Tell us how you really feel.
