I mean it's nerd blackface basically if I'm being only slightly hyperbolic

    There's no centuries-long systemic oppression and denigration of "nerds", blackface is a terrible word choice.

    Clearly you've never watched a 80's-90's movie set in a highschool

    I’m gen X. I’ve seen them all. FWIW, the nerds usually emerge victorious.

    I’m in my basement, with collected 80’s Robotech and Transformers toys, a 3D printer, a self-built watercooled gaming PC, a linux PC, boxes of decades of tech junk, a printed Darth Vader helmet I’m trying to finish so maybe I can go to a ‘con suited up, a backup of all of my favorite movies like Better off Dead and Princess Bride…. And I’m on Lemmy.

    Yeah. Total jock.

    But go ahead and make up whatever suits you.
