I just think this whole thing of calling people nerds based on their looks and/or taste is stupid. I mean, in Japan reading manga and watching anime is a common thing. Just because people like things out of the ordinary that doesn't make them nerdy. And people definitely aren't nerdy just because they're fat and have pimples.
I am sorry if I offended you, it wasn't my intention. This thread is all about having a sense of humor about the hobbies we partake in and the type of people that typically are into them. By saying something is nerdy doesn't mean it is 'stupid' by any means. This all comes from a conversation my friends and I were having and how we noticed that typical video game fans are much less nerdy than anime fans, and there was like a food chain of nerdiness from minor nerdiness to extreme nerdiness.
I don't think that fat = nerdy. Plenty of jocks are now fat and they aren't nerds...:p
I don't think I look nerdy at all, but I know that when I don my Rifts T-shirt I am being pretty nerdy...
Either way, those who don't understand call us nerdy because they are just jealous we have the balls to be into this stuff.
