Nerds

(I know this topic has been made, but it's dead.)

You know who you are! You're the pasty-faced, girl-shy, and out-of-shape guys who love reading sci-fi and watching shounen anime! Rise, my brethren! Gay, straight, black, white...it doesn't matter! You are all nerds! We are all nerds! And we are awesome!

Look buddy.

Nerds are better then Nerds.

Go play Kentucky Route Zero. Now.

Excuse me, I happen to be a pasty-faced, out-of-shape, boy-shy girl, thank you very much.

Be not afraid...

Why yes, Nerds are cool too.

When I was a kid, I used to put them in Coke. Tasted kinda sour and a few got stuck in my throat, but it was good nonetheless.

Oh, uh, hey.

I don't particularly like shounen anime

But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas.

I don't have a clue about anime.

Eh, I liked Monster (the manga) and Haibane Renmei and, although these days I consider it a bit of a Guilty Pleasure, I enjoyed Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (the second part, mostly — the first part I found disappointing). Aria started interesting, but then it got too repetitive, and there was that horrible cat-like thing. Oh, and I tried Death Note, but just could not get into it.

And that's about the whole of my anime and manga knowledge.

It's an example, dudes.

And if there is one thing that nerds like, is to quibble about definitions and examples

Haha, you're right!

Hey, I'm not that pasty faced, I have racoon rings around my eyes, and I'm proud of liking Shōnen series!

Watch Symphogear

For some weird reason, I keep reading "pasty faced" as "pastry faced"...

Not all of us are white, y'know.

I, for instance, am Hispanic.

Oh, I agree, it's pretty obvious that there are nerds of all ethnicities. The "white" thing is just because that song is a spoof of stereotypical rap music.

Anyway, to be honest, I always considered "Hispanic" a subset of "white", a bit like "Scandinavian", "Southern European", "Germanic" or "Slavic"; but eh, it's not like this sort of classification makes any damn sense anyway, and it is irrelevant in any case.

Fucking love that tune.

Us nerds shall inherit the earth. If not, we'll make our own.

We will one day make the world one big cellar!

But how will we reproduce?

Cloning, or growing children in a Vat. No need for sexual interaction anymore, and 70% more efficient.

Heck, who needs to reproduce? we could just discover how to make ourselves immortal.

Hm. Nerds rarely reproduce (although that has been known to happen), and they spread their breed mostly by turning common people into nerds. Many of them fear the sun, and most of them seem to hate Twilight.

Nerds are vampires.

(A lot more examples probably exist, but that's the one that came to my mind right now)

Being a nerd was a lot more fun when Hipsters didn't pretend they were nerds without knowing the first thing about... anything nerdy ever. They already took our glasses. Goddamn Hipsters.
