"Lots of people enjoy what I have to say" AHAHAHAHA! You're so desperate for validation you even think I care if others find me funny.

See, but you're lying because I'm not any of those things and yet you keep saying I am.

Says the person who stalked me, today.

Only morons use hashtags, thanks for proving that right again.

People do not like that I pointed this out, and apparently it's "hipster" to dislike the fakes who try to act like they're part of a community.

So you're asking for concrete examples for something that's an intangible social construct? Look at the Big Bang Theory for crying out loud, also look at it and the responses to it for what nerds think. There are people who HATE it as a mockery of the things they love, comic books, science, etc. while at the same time…

Yes, the nerd community as a social construct not "fans of Star Wars" which was always mainstream and popular. Nerds can like something mainstream. I never said ONLY tabletop gaming, it was an example of something not popular.

Aw, the poor racist is back for more!

You're missing the point, this isn't just about Star Trek or Star Wars. Those are specific things and are moreso cultural institutions than niche nerd things.

Nerds as a cultural thing was niche until "recently" (relevant, 10-15 years) versus the past. Ask anyone who lived around that time, video games and more obscure things were not mainstream or even close to it. The 21 Jump Street remake riffs on this, as the nerdy kid is now the popular one where the jock was in the…

That was about "nerds" or "nerdom" as a community, obviously. It was in response to "nerds shouldn't be snobs" not anything to do with Star Trek.

You can be a hipster and a nerd, just like you can be a metalhead and a hipster. Both nerds and metalheads are defensive about their communities and try to keep the fakes out, this isn't new.

I've been really nostalgic lately, and I found my old Game Boy from 1989 at my parents house, and it works! The plastic screen cover fell off and I cannibalized another for the battery cover, but I'm able to play Pokemon Red for the first time in like, 15 years?

In my hypothetical, they didn't give the show a shot. Like the people who tell me they'd never read books because they're boring.

Is there a problem with that? The people I'm talking about wouldn't watch shows like TNG because "lol their boring" so who gives a shit about them? I'm not talking about people who saw JJ Abrams version first and may be open to watching the others after that.

Boring!

Anything with a once small community that has become diluted and mainstream has snobs.

The comments here show that Kotaku's reputation for having a dumb commentariat is well deserved.

Actual nerd, as opposed to "lol I watched the Star Trek reboot I'm such a nerd lol" type.

Can we talk about how perfect this picture is with the headline?
