I hate to be the critical ass hole, but I fucking hate people who try to play the cute nerd act. Being a nerd use to be a bad and unpopular thing. And today’s culture associates anyone who doesnt party, isnt highly social, and has the slightest interest in video games as a nerd. And these phrases don’t really have anything to do with “being a nerd”. Here’s why:

1. Nerd’s arent all insomniacs. It’s retarded to assume that a person who is nerdy stays up all night writing fan fic and playing D&D. That hardly associates directly to being nerdy.

2. Reading makes you a nerd? Trying to force that idea is why reading is so unpopular these days. I hate that being educated is now associated with negative opinons.

3. I’m certain that if a child said that, you wouldn’t call him a nerd. Star Wars is often a nerd culture thing, but you have to keep in mind how many people pretend to be obsessed with star wars just to be “such a nerd lol”, yet don’t know the difference between Boba and Jango Fett.

4. Lets just stick with number 3 for this one too.

5. I think the idea that nerds are smart, witty, and sarcastic people is created solely to make nerd culture more appealing. Not all nerds have quick and clever statements like sheldon. Once upon a time, nerds were anti-social castaways.

6. Do you know how many people use the term noob now? It’s like people who use fail and owned, but hardly use the internet or play video games. We generally pick up popular phrases from our friends without questioning what it means. People just like to use words that are popular.

7. This one is far to common and easy to rant about these days. The “gurl gamer”. People have accepted gaming as a fairly universal and acceptable thing in this era. With the Kinect and Wii, gaming is family oriented. But the second a girl wants to play call of duty she’s a “gurl gamerrr” and she is so nerdy and lame and all the guys will want her now. The fact of the matter is, video games are as common as people who use the internet.

8. Really? Cause need connection to the internet makes you a total nerd. Or maybe you just need to use the internet. Especially since iPhones are so common and internet is just more convenient. 

9. I’ll be honest, I don’t even get this one. The only thing that comes to find is the fact that actual CD’s are nearly extinct since digital format is the way of the future. So I guess that kind argues it right there?

And I dont think anyone relates tattoos, piercings, and plugs as nerdy.

FINALLY!!! I’ve been waiting for someone to say this without being blatantly rude, but this is exactly how I feel.  Most real nerds are unattractive, smelly and anti-social.  The few of us who exist and mingle within the realms of “normal” society are seen as creepy or weird.  We’re the ones who you come to in class when you don’t want to do your own work or dump all of the work on in class projects.

Five years ago, this girl would have been Emo/Scene because of it’s popularity (hair piercings and tats give that away). ten years ago, she would have been goth or punk.  Were it the early 90s, she’d be wearing plaid and smoking a joint while listening to Nirvana.  In the 80s, she’d be snorting cocaine off of whatever surface was closest to her because it was popular.  She would have been one of those early 70s pseudo-hippies that did more harm than good to the counter-culture.  in the 60s, she would have swooned for every douchebag with a suit, a bad haircut and a guitar.  in the 50s, she would have been married at 17 and pregnant with 5 kids (as well as being depressed and alcoholic.) in the 20s, she would have been a flapper.

TL;DR, She’s a “nerd” because it’s cool.  she would have been anything if you told her it was cool.  And it makes real nerds (moi) angry to see shit like this.

This entire thread makes me laugh so hard. Guys, didn’t you know I’m just a stupid hipster bitch trying to capitolize on nerdy shit? No. I was that kid in Jr. High that didn’t really have any friends, I was the weird ‘art girl’, I drew fantasy art in my notebooks and wore hand-me-down clothes from my big brothers (who were obsessed with Star Wars and LoTR) I had braces for way longer than was socially acceptable, glasses that weren’t custom fitted so they were crooked as shit on my face (my ears aren’t quite level) and I froze in social situations and didn’t hit puberty till I was 17. Highschool didn’t get much better for me, I got really into anime and was considered an ‘otaku’, went to conventions and cosplayed (got made fun of REALLY hard at school for that) I had no friends, sat in my graphic design classroom during lunchtime, struggled emotionally, and eventually dropped out of school.

Now here I am, a young adult that’s into RPGs, Science Fiction/Fantasy books, X-Men, Star Wars, and Comic art. My main is a Troll hunter dual spec’d for BM/MM. If you look closely my tattoos feature Wonder Woman and ASoIaF references. I got pro-activ, some custom fit glasses, and those braces finally came off, but because I don’t look like a ‘nerd’ I’m not even accepted by geeks. I am sitting here getting picked on by dorks.

I am not accepted in 21-year-old-girl community because we have no common interests.
I am not accepted in the tattoo industry because I’m not into metal music and motorcycles
And now I am not accepted by nerds/geeks because I’m covered in tattoos and made a light hearted video making fun of internet “nerds”.

Nerds/geeks/dorks complain about bullies and not being accepted but you guys are not any better at all.

Newsflash, nobody worth anything “fit in” in highschool- and TADAAA, the real world isn’t any better. You know who I fit in with? People I decide I want to be friends with. Did you know that when you are hanging out with people and you get that sinking feeling that you should just leave because you aren’t fitting in to the group, they are all thinking [nothing]. They are just hanging out. In fact it’s entirely more likely that they are thinking the same thing about themselves that you are. 

You know what annoys me about you? All of this. Everything said about each of those pictures is true. It makes you look like the vapid poser-nerd bitch who really has no clue, but doesn’t know how to Fit herself into a group of friends and just be happy there- So you sit at home and create this social pariah of a personality that gives your awkward behavior some definition.

there’s nothing wrong with being awkward, with not knowing what to do in social situations. In fact up until this little social media vomit of yours, there was nothing wrong with what you were doing.

You say that you aren’t accepted by the “tattoo community”.. Really? Are they having club meetings now and you can’t get in unless you ride a harley? Well count me out, I have a bitchin’ tenspeed. don’t be fucking stupid.

You don’t fit into.. the.. WHAT? There is a gender based age group oriented club now too? Well just about every one of my friends that shares genitalia with me wouldn’t be allowed in either, then. We get into shouting matches about MvC3U team builds, watch anime, and have a generally good time.

This is so infuriating. I have run into bitches like you before. You know why you don’t fit in? You wont let yourself “fit. in.”
Stop calling yourself a nerd.
Nerds quietly accept that CD’s are getting close to past their use- But I still have a loader CD with W7 on it just in case that shit breaks down on me.
I had my 47 year old aunt ask me what my wifi password was on thanksgiving. Are you saying she’s a nerd now too?
Nobody says noob anymore besides Bros and children who aren’t aware that nobody says noob anymore.
You are rude.
You aren’t witty and hilarious
OMGYOUOWNA[blank]FETTHELMETOMG *puke* Fett was a douche anyway. You’re not cool because you like star wars. Everybody likes star wars. 
The books are always better. Everyone and their mother fucking knows this.
Only nerds pull all nighters?
I… really?

TL;DR?
Go away. Just go.
don’t come back.
