Big Bang Theory is a terrible show.

It's not because of "nerd blackface." Fuck you :reddit-logo: for making that the presumed reason for anyone to dislike that show.

It's a misogynistic, cryptoracist, ignorantly ableist (setting back public understanding of autism by years) and lowkey homophobic unfunny mess that is written like the script was printed on plastic sheets made from melted down Funko Pops. Also, the :my-hero: worship is insufferable.

    I kind of appreciate Big Bang Theory for the wrong reasons. Yeah they're gross caricatures, but they're caricatures of annoying nerd professors who are obsessed with consumerist doo-dads and read superhero comic books at 40 years old. When I first watched the show I though the characters were supposed to be horrible, not endearing.
