Does being a nerd condemn you?

Yes

No

Let's be honest, nobody likes nerds, and the subcategories that come within, from comic and manga readers to gamers and cosplayers. So we are bound to be a social group highly by stereotypes and forever being treated as a sub-social group?

  • Firstly, the term is "geek", unless you know you're specifically talking about "nerds", there is a difference. I classify myself as a geek. I am socially outgoing, but have my personal tastes when it comes to gaming, "geekness", board games and card games. My friends in real life know I'm a Bungie fan and there's no worrying about it. It doesn't really matter in the real world. Be who you are and enjoy life. This is just more a stereotype argument than anything. It's more a concentration in a subject area. You're so focused on one are of your life that you're willing to spend time and money to make a living off of it. By that logic shouldn't all college graduates be considered geeks and/or nerds? Nothing to be shamed about.
