Remember when everybody in the 2010s tried to be THIS guy? Kinda dorky and non-threatening type
>>
>>220374387
Sheldon is not non-threatening. He’s not strong or particularly violent, but he’s relentless, merciless, and easily angered.
>>
I don't recall a lot of people actively trying to be him. I do recall a lot of people being told by their friends and family that they were him, despite not being.
>>
>>220374387
Low key every middle class white guy being this cringey reddit chungus dork is what pushed white women to get with black guys.
>>
>>220374387
Nobody watched this show and it was actively hated for being huge step in bastardizing and corporatizing nerd culture. It’s directly responsible for a lot of bad shit

Buck pls

How did it 'bastardize' nerd culture?

>they casted a gay guy to play an autistic guy
makes you think how similar gay mannerisms and autistic mannerisms can be...
>>
>>220374557
I know my history. The show is a faithful reflection of nerd culture and attitudes. Nerds just don't like being seen that way.
Then and now, nerds are into MtG, D&D, video games, and often work in STEM.
They're also, frequently, small and shitty people, needlessly competitive, and poorly socialized.

If anything, the show was too kind to nerds. What about the nerds that have terrible hygiene? Only Sheldon gets with a nerd-appropriate gf. The other women are way too hot. They need to be frumpy 5s.
>>
>>220374387
No. Sheldon was someone to laugh at. That was the whole point of the show.
>>
>>220374481
"Nerd culture" was cancer from the beginning. Get into actual culture like classical music, literature, philosophy, history, painting, anything REAL.
>>
>first day at university
>engineering degree
>half the class wearing big bang theory t shirts
>keep hearing "BAZINGA" from across the lecture hall
>the one girl in the group loudly telling everyone how much she loves Big Bang Theory
It was all downhill from there
>>
>>220374387
My nickname was actually Sheldon. People thought I was so much like him that they called me him. Crazy.
>>
>>220374722
>I am like Sheldon
It's over for you
>>
>>220374387
I don't remember this at all, maybe it was just you
>>
>>220374760
i think he's very cool
>>
>>220374435
your porn habit is not reality
>>
>>220374783
He's insufferable. If you've never dealt with someone like him you might not get it. If you are him you might not get it.
>>
>>220374790
he is better than everyone else though. his condescending to them is deserved
>>
>>220374857
That's because it's a TV show. If he wasn't it'd come off as too mean spirited. In reality these types are never particularly competent.

>spawned two successful spinoffs
Pretty impressive.
>>
>>220374387
No. Probably because I didn't hang around retards.
>>
>>220374568
Damn, you must be gay as shit then.
>>
>>220374387
It's called performative male and all of reddit is still like this
>>
>>220374677
First day of law school it turned out everyone but me had enrolled because they were fans of Suits. Most of them dropped out within 3 months.
>>
Did you just watch the big bang theory or something?

This is the guy who argues with you on reddit.
>>
>>220374431
I'm okay with my grandparents calling me Sheldon. They love me

>>220374387
Remember when everybody replied to these threads with variations of his classic catchphrase?
BOTSWANA
>>
>>220374481
How many interracial couples have you seen in real life? And i mean real couples, not some stacy taking advantage of some nerdy beta black boy to pass algebra. Stop watching porn, friend.
>>
>>220375820
wtf
>>
>>220374387
If you're talking about IRL, fuck no that was never a thing. If you're talking about tv and film? Fuck no, that also was never a thing. If anything everyone was trying to be that fag Michael Cera. That faggot dominated the late 00s, early 10s playing the same lame ass quirky character.
>>
>>220374431
Sheldon probably made a lot of people realise they're neurodivergent. I sure didn't know what the word meant before the show aired but now I do and I'm it.
>>
>>220374387
my mom watches this and i often wonder which character she thinks i am
>>
>>220375820
I remember you from that thread the other day, man. How's it hangin?

several girls I had sex with back then said they liked me because I reminded them of Sheldon
>>
>>220374387
No, can't remember anyone who did
>>
There was a period from like 2008-2013 where nerd culture was seen as cool and girls were actually into geeky guys like Sheldon, it was post-Portal but before gamergate and Trump

OH SNAP

OH THERE GOES GRAVITY
