Instead of being fit from sports, we got NFTs. And even if Chads were notoriously sketchy towards women, it's not like the nerds are any better. In fact, there's probably a third the amount of jock incels compared to nerd ones.
Nerds have given us the means for better computerized planning, but jocks would have given us physical fitness needed to defend ourself from counter-revolutionary reprisals.
Nerds: :wojak-nooo:
Jocks: :wojak-nooo:
Working class: :sicko-yes: 🤝 :yes-comm:
Ironically the reason why nerds are particularly obnoxious nowadays, is that a lot of them became petty bourgeois or haute bourgeois in the late 80s and 90s and created the tech hellholes like Silicon Valley.
Though of course, my joking aside working class unity of Jocks and nerds is the best outcome.
why do women choose physically fit confident men who are sexist and not me an unfit and self conscious man who is sexist
- the dilemma of the nerds in the 80s
...and of the 2010s/20s
Fitting, considering there's a widespread 80s revival in pop culture these recent years.
well nerd culture never went away it's just confined to high schools which is where it comes from
They were both archetypes created as a collection of shorthands to express underdog status vs dominant status. Insofar as they ever existed in the real world, they existed after those images propagated. I don’t know for sure, but I would guess the legitimate trends which gave birth to the nerdy stereotypes were rooted in various bigotries perpetrated by or against certain communities. And I would also guess that those communities bare little resemblance to the archetypes we know today other than certain clothing.
I don't think it's that they don't exist still I think they just have always only existed in high school
Oh I wasn’t saying they didn’t exist anymore. Just that the archetypes resembled the original things they referenced so little that by the time people did recognizably fit them, it was because they were familiar with the imagery and were trying to match it
I don't know I remember it being pretty similar to the more grounded versions of how it's presented. It's just that grown adults pretty much can't be nerds anymore as it's very much a highschool only experience.
And as with all things people who define themselves by what they were like in highschool suck
the jocks are the red team that tells you exactly how horrible they are, the nerds are blue team which promises something better but in fact once in power acts exactly as the jocks would've. Neither Alpha Beta nor Tri Lamb will bring about better conditions for the student body, Adams College itself must be fundamentally changed
Alpha Beta nor Tri Lamb
Considering this post was partially inspired by Revenge of the Nerds, which I saw years ago, let's just appreciate the moment to say that that movie series is really fucking creepy. Also the second one apparently has 3,67/10 as an average score on rating sites lol
i cannot believe that there have been more than one revenge of the nerds. it seems there are four
In case you hadn't noticed, most of the jocks are fascists, now.
The mean girls became a maoist revolutionary front.
Hell yes I support the troops :rosa-salute:
Each comes from a different clique: Claire Standish, snobbish and extremely popular; Brian Johnson, a brainiac; Andrew Clark, a jock on the wrestling team; John Bender, a rebellious teen; and Allison Reynolds, an introverted outcast.
Nerds and Jocks both lost, because they grew up and had to enter the workforce and became at once, consumers. They were as an age group both catered to and tantilized by corporations by hiring from both cliques and trying to narrow their likes into singular focus. Call of Duty comes around, and it's both appealing to nerds and jocks. It has the strongman appeal and the video game aspect. The jock culture was placated in the nerd activity so they stopped going out and getting fit (or just didn't do it as much) because of that cultural satiation. Didn't have to go to a gym anymore, could do it from home. Both groups shared some of the toxicities especially towards women or lgbtq+, and so were easy to merge that way.
