"nerds have always been this way!"
yeah, we have ... that doesn't make the behaviour any more appropriate.
gods forbid we try to be better people.
this entire thread is you folks masturbating about the freedom to dunk on someone instead of just ignoring it.
I’m pretty sure the only person talking about nerd culture always being this way was me and I was actively and explicitly advocating for people not behaving this way instead of engaging in toxic behavior.
