Why did our nerd hobbies and interests need validation from normalfags who ridiculed us for years before it was suddenly hip for them to use as an identity piece?

...

>not posting the Sup Forums version

Because normalfags are the textbook definition of 'trendy'. They latch onto whatever is popular without giving a second thought about it. Most of them don't actually have hobbies; rather, they simply scratch the surface of whatever they're latching onto for the sake of virtue signaling/to feed their massive egos/etc., and then they move onto the next big thing.

because of the popularity of superhero and fantasy movies

Why does this picture make me feel sick?

Consumerism is a cancer

I'm actually impressed that they managed to shoe in every single bit of essential basic-ass "geek shiek" pleb shit.

This is reddit made.

Get some glasses faggot

Look harder, Magoo.

Because those nerds were wannabe normies. I.e. the worst kind of nerd. Self-loathing shitheads. Easier for them to make their hobbies cool so they can get social cred by default instead of fixing their shitty personalities to be more likable.

Oh shit yeah, brendan and uncle mel is there, still, chloe is not on super sayan mode.

>Sophie next to Dan
Noooooooooooo run sophie run!

it's nice that who ever made it included sophia,
guess our efforts in making sophia threads aren't
in vain

Simon Pegg was right, it's a method of control. Infantilize full grown adults and turn them into pathetic bugmen consumerist wretches.

Touche, good friend.

100% the wife fucks black guys while the cuck watches the whole ordeal.

>i don't have a personality or i have a shit personality so i define myself as 'nerd' aka one who consumes a bunch of media, toys and games

Grow up.

>gatekeeping watching movies

the absolute state of necklards

Where are the crab legs?

I'm too tired to be angry at normies today, make this thread again tomorrow and I'll have some answers.

Comics appeal massively with Tumblr tards and then they started hiring them.

>Holly

Lost it

2008 happened.
>COD4
>Iron Man
>facebook becomes popular
>Sup Forums gets filled with newfags

But what finally did it, was social media and smart phones.

You are thinking of 2007.

why has this post got all the (you)s but the one above that posted the exact same pic has none?

Must've got my years mixed up but my point still stands, that was the foothold for normies (and corporations to commodify geek culture to this extent).

>our
no
>hobbies and interests
obsessive substitutes for an inner world or social life or skills
>need validation from normalfags
you make new threads every day about capeshit, the worst kind of movies and you froth at the mouth over celeb gossip and disneywars and fap movies
>who ridiculed US for years
I was never under the impression that they stopped but I guess when what differentiates you from most people is your interests and the type of media you consume, you're a really easy person to assimilate back into the hive
>identity piece
it pisses you off that your fake object-based worldview can be appropriates, yeah?

The presence of Jordan Peterson alone makes this one at least 100x better than the original

It's "geek chic" user.

Lads, I can't find best Emma in this! What the hell?

Anyone else think it's weird that this was posted two times but only the second one got any replies?

Sorry, I'm from Sup Forums, spelling is beneath me.

What irks me is that Frodo is the best man and not Sam

>Army Dog
It's not gatekeeping; it's maintaining standards.

cringe

Clean your room user.
Stop watching porn.
Stop browsing Sup Forums
Stop frogposting
end your life

damn Mike and Jay why are you so drunk couldn't you have waited til after the ceremony

Thankfully they have yet to be successful at killing /tg/.
Not for lack of trying, mind you.

probably because /tg/ likes actual nerd shit
instead of the retards in this thread trying to cry about spiderman being somehow less mainstream when they were 6 in 2004

It took me longer than it should have but I spotted a difference between these two

Once I saw the falcon, I started looking for Robert. Was very happy when I found him.

>le anti post modernist lecturer ends up in a post modern piece of art
>one of his vapid underage acolytes fails to pick up on the double standard he pushes by praising it
It's like poetry.

/ourguy/ harvey needs to be added

I've stared at the picture for over 10 minutes and can't find Peterson anywhere

we used to have a culture. Now we just have soyboys.

"nerd culture" became massively commodified.

What a beautiful ceremony

Agreed, I kinda enjoy the top more due to the problem child 2 poster honestly

Lots of people liked the same shit you did growing but didn't become autists unable to connect with other human beings.

Sup Forums died years ago with an influx of Sup Forums and reddit and Sup Forums posters

now there are people who think Winter soldier was a serious political thriller and fury road/dredd/pacific rim were good films

Aside from programming and maybe some homebrew pen paper games. When was nerd "culture" not about buying stupid consumerist garbage? At least stoners who played guitars made their own music in high school, while the jocks improved their bodies. What did nerds do besides stifle their growth as human beings for cheap plastic toys or trashy paperbacks?

1000/10 post

>us
lol

Because a couple of guys who liked that shit in school and got bullied or outcasted for it, grew up, made some money, maybe got jacked either natty or via gear, and were like "yea I like video games" and every Stacy with a Real House Wives fantasy looked at each other and exclaimed "SO DO WE!!!!" Thus, video games, comics, fantasy, etc. all became cool because the people who liked it when it wasn't cool became cool themselves. Women are directly responsible for society's condition because they determine its priorities based on who they are willing to fuck, so you have them to thank.

dude le epic board culture xD haha funny

kill yourselves, pedophile scum.

Nerds haven't been picked on for liking comics/movies/games for decades. Most people here weren't picked on for liking nerdy stuff, they were picked on for being insufferable autists. Who picked on you in the year 2000 for liking the X-men movie? Everyone liked that shit. Who made fun of you for playing Halo in 2001? Fucking nobody that's who. If you're talking about collecting toys or playing figurine board games, of course you were laughed at. You were a teen/ya playing with toys. That's not a cultural norm that's changed much. Just be glad that the market produces a lot of goofy shit like that for you to buy. Maybe in the 50s or 60s you would have gotten your ass kicked for it but not in the early 00s. If anyone here was in high school or middle school before the late 90s/early 00s, you need to get a life and get off Sup Forums. You're too old to be here.

Nerds get picked on because they're unsociable asshats. They act stuck up when asked to participate by others. They act too good for a simple high school party even when everyone is nice. they have such a persecution complex they think everything is about them. You really think Chad gives a fuck about your goofy shuffle at a school dance? He's trying to get laid. Get over yourselves. You build walls and then get mad when nobody goes through all the work of getting you to come out of your shell. That's on you.

tl;dr fuckhead learn to be succinct or die

tl;dr: your post is why nerds get picked on it's barely a paragraph faggot.

im not a nerd fuckhead ill fucking kill you

the only thing you'll kill is all hope of getting laid you beige power ranger

what the fuck does beige power ranger mean

you're the fucking nerd here

>i am the Sup Forums police
>everyone else is an autist, not me

>Ben Garrison

>I'm actually impressed that they managed to shoe in every single bit of essential basic-ass "geek shiek" pleb shit.

No DC characters though...

i remember this shit started happening around the time of the matrix

by now it's just a fact that 'nerd' shit is for general audiences. Nerds were just keeping the seat warm for them, this stuff actually belongs to them.

where i dont see it

the only logical step is to go even more esoteric

>not me

No I just spent a lot of time with nerdy friends. Sup Forums is pretty normie these days anyway. I just hate nerds who want to blame everyone else for their personal issues.

How long did this take?
