maaaan, didnt really mean for this to spark a lot of talk was just trying to write something quick cause ive been so tired lately. thanks to everyone who read and i appreciate the feedback.
though i do realize that there are worse things on tv and many more things to be worried about, i just wanted to write a quick piece about what i thought that show does. it wasnt really a doom and gloom thing or condemning the show or anything like that.
I also understand that it is satirical in its nature, or a parody or anything you wanna call it. Maybe im not making it really clear to most of you, I write these things to talk about them, not so much as a soapbox for how my own personal views. Maybe i should start posing these things as questions.
Would you concede that perhaps this amalgamation of characteristics is so jumbled that the average tv audience would key on only the most recognizible things like for example gaming?
But, being a gamer myself who is no way shape or form socially inept and having many friends who are also hardcore gamers I can attest that i have no personal prejudice towards gamers. I also stated in the article that I realized that these people were more than gamers and that wasnt their only identifier. Though you are completely right in saying that you could draw similar conclusions about physicists, but the show also lumps so many different personality traits together that the point could be made about anything.
At the very least I would concede that the argument could be made that its Nerd Culture itself that is being inaccurately portrayed.
CAN O WORMS
but thank you beej, the reason why i write these is to talk about it. and you sir have brought up the best point ive seen on any thing ive put up here.
