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

It gets the point across and I don't really care to come up with a substitute, you're just ignoring it to argue semantics

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.

What, you mean the theater nerds made themselves the hero of their own movies? Big surprise

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Lol, yeah. That’s the point of the movies s/he cited, the opposite of what s/he was trying to accomplish.

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.
