It is when you there's no byproduct from doing it other than supposed "health". Now, if you do the same type work actually performing work like building or farming then you are doing something and getting healthy. Exercising for the sake of exercising is just masturbation. You need to work for the betterment of the community. Doing so will make you healthy.

Fuck it, I'll do it for posterity.
Whatever the fuck you do that helps your community, you're merely helping others so that they can get back to their masturbatory hobbies. With this knowledge in mind, if you're still aiding in your community, you're only doing it because it feels good to YOU to help people, uncaring of what they do afterward. The act of helping your community then becomes your own form of masturbation.

You have to keep in mind that Nerd Culture or the commercialized version of it is nothing but a smokescreen for liberals and people who went to university or people who are in far too much debt, they want to reassure themselves that they made the right choice in wasting thousands upon thousands on a social science degree but are told to keep buying nerd shit because it'll make them appear smart and like they've made the right decision. They are wearing a chain around their neck and it is only getting tighter as they walk around in a circle while companies pressure them into buying crap like Funko Pop and tricking them into rebelling against the system with shitty YA movies when they are conforming to political leftist beliefs that is really destroying their soul, nerd culture is a way to crush individualism.
Xavier Foster
I don't know about you but I feel like I'm going to go fucking crazy if someone or critics mention how good the latest Marvel, Star Wars or Harry Potter movie was.
Julian Perez
Is Capeshit and nerd culture too big to die or will something come along and replace it?

Sebastian Barnes

Mason Stewart
It stops being 'nerd culture' and just becomes culture. It is already happening.
Jaxson Powell
It won't go anywhere. The internet has made it so less people are going to the theaters. The mid-budget film which may or may not be a diamond in the rough, is dead. Teens-20 somethings only go out to the movies when it's a big social event. i.e. capeshit.
Juan Ward
I think theaters will eventually go away and in a bed to stop piracy movie companies will just stream the movies in your home for a limited time only before it becomes available on BD, that way Capeshit unfortunately continues to thrive.
>Mfw literature is too advanced for nerd culture enthusiasts >Mfw good literature along with art house kino are being benched while commercialized YA books and the latest copy and paste superhero film are pushed forward more and more >Soon religion will fall and most places of worship will be podiums for Harry Potter or Star Wars fans to preach their love to commercialism

>All Capeshit movies should be open to all forms of criticism
Interesting. I've really noticed how bitter people are if you even point out a legit flaw in comics or Capeshit movies at the height of its popularity, like when TFA came out and Sup Forums instantly noticed how much of a carbon clone of ANW it would be but normies reared their heads and screeched MUH CHILDHOOD CAN BE NO WRONG, HOW DARE YOU!
Luis Lewis
>he doesn't realize that Sup Forums is the epitome of geek culture
Most geeks end here after a being a while in the internet. Overzealousness never ends in the geek heart, be it for childish movies or to bash geek lowforms
Gavin Adams

Jackson Gray
OT fags are the worst with this. ANW and ESB seem to be perfect, religious holy texts to them but for some reason they like to bash ROTJ a lot. They really did huge amounts of damage more than people who despise the prequels to fit in since everything has to cater around them.

The irony is that these are probably the people who bullied others who liked Star Wars or Star Trek back in the day and they now only find it socially acceptable because it's the hip thing to do now, cunts.
Hudson Gray
I agree with these sentiments and hate comic/geek culture, but Simon Pegg sure does have a lot of gall talking shit when his career is based entirely on nerd culture.
Xavier Evans

Leo Davis
Since Millennials are mostly SJWs and extreme lefties and since Capshit is I wonder if this is going to be one of the causes as to why their offspring will eventually adopt Conservatism as a sort of rebellion or counter culture much like how leftism was the counter culture of the 60s.
Either that or those unfortunate bastards all turn into Chris-chans considering they are automatically born with a phone in their mouth rather than a pacifier

The worst part of this is they never try to immerse their kids in actual nerdy shit like gekiga comics or gypsy jazz, it's always the same mass marketed shit you can get at walmart. What's the point of cultivating your child to obsess over boring media
Daniel King
That goes for a lot of things. Like you can't even criticize a TV show without someone telling you to "stop watching it if you don't enjoy it".

Anthony Gutierrez
Why are Capeshit fans so bad at finances? I've noticed a pattern here where they are pretty much obsessed with buying this shitty merchandise in an futile attempt something might be worth lots of money. Feels like it could be a coping mechanism for them. I wonder if there is an official study to show how much I'm right but it could be interesting.
I need to get round to buying Goodbye eventually, no idea why that's released in a hardcover while his other books are in paperback. A hardcover A Drifting Life would be amazing.
