Gaymers, Geeks, Nerds And Other Names
As we continue to discuss the merits of gaymer on the forums (with some heated discussion), another debate rages over with our straight brothers about the term nerd. It starts at Dr. Free-Ride, but I ended up picking it up at the Bourgeois Nerd, talking about Cosmic Variance’s take about it here.
Sean’s take on it from CosmicVariance is:
It’s just that I’m not entirely on board with the program of reclaiming “nerdliness” as a badge of honor, as gays have managed to reclaim queer and so forth.
We got to show our straight brothers that pride is important. Well, as a queer and a geek, I say stand up and be proud to be a “nerd.”
