I don't know what it is, but the people I know in person suddenly become intolerable when I see them on Facebook. I just can't take the sappy motivational graphics after a while. Not only that, but people also become hyper sensitive to even the mildest of criticism.

Fortunately not too many ponies on my feed. If there were more, I think I would've had to kill someone by now.

But i'm curious, you say nerd like it's a bad thing. I think that might qualify as the pot calling the kettle black.

I was referring more to the stupidity of of the marcos themselves, rather than the material they are referencing. (though I am not much of a fan of internet memes either)

As far as I am concerned being a "nerd" isn't really good or bad, it's just a social category I prefer not to relate to.

Just because someone likes Pokemon doesn't mean they are into other stereotypically nerd interests, am smart, dislike social interaction or anything else of the sort. Some stranger off the street can think my interests are nerdy if they like, but that doesn't mean I have to embrace the label. I don't have to talk about a show I don't care about just because some relates it so something I do like.

Point is, I don't want to pigeonhole myself for the sake of fitting into a subculture.

And I use gender neutral pronouns not he.

It's not really unique, it's just a sprite taken from a video game.

It's a colloquialism. I don't have anything against Dr. Who. I have seen a few episodes and it was pretty cool, but I don't have any sort of investment in.

It's probably the most overrated television show in existence.

It used to be really good but nowadays I agree with this statement.

Honestly I think they were going for mass appeal in season 5 and onward of the new series. I had never seen a whole lot of mainstream Doctor Who fans before then, as most of them were just quiet nerds and stuff. Now I see people wearing doctor who shirts and buttons and stuff all over the place. Whenever I try to use Sparknotes for English work, I see all this crap about "Are you are real DW fan??? Take our test to find out!!!" and "How well do you know Matt Smith?" and that's how I know something has changed.

Many Doctor Who fans would probably watch Breaking Bad and complain about it being boring.

Apologies, I have a major beef with much/most British tv. Its universal average to shittiness being the beef.
