soggybagel posted:The whole fake nerds argument is so loving tired and annoying. Certainly people pander no one is denying that. But I'm so loving sick of some internet poop socker going off on some message boards or something decrying how someone who god forbid is actually attractive and appeals to more than just a narrow band of miscreants is a poser and a fake nerd. If anything this should be flattering. But yes, pandering exists. And it bothers people including myself because it is lazy and often the attempts are transparent. But someone like Olivia Munn doesn't bother me one bit. In fact I'll defend her any time of day simply for the reason that she is someone who is working in entertainment who happens to obviously be working very hard. I hate the whole fake nerds argument as well. Like in Olivia Munn's case, if you're a host at Attack Of The Show daily, for YEARS it would be dumb to not try to please or serve that audience--thats your main audience. Its grating to hear personalities say they're "huge nerds" (it has become the new "I was hideous as a child" refrain) because they've seen Star Wars but so what?
