Okay boomer.
What, you like the way nerds act, these days?
You enjoy hearing people bitch and moan about what's canon and what's not canon?
You didn't think it was just a little embarrassing, when "Star Trek: Lower Decks" did a one-off joke about a Space Koala God, and people GENUINELY FREAKED OUT, DEMANDING TO KNOW IF THAT SHIT WAS NOW CANON, IN THE STAR TREK UNIVERSE, and actually got into heated debates, about it?
That's not fucking cringe behavior, to you?
Hell, I didn't even touch the whole racism and sexism thing. Again, I'm not under any fucking illusions about the past. I know oldschool nerds were mostly heterosexual white men, with some creepy attitudes about a LOT of things. But godDAMN, things have gotten next-level racist, sexist, and intolerant.
To my eternal shame, the realm of the nerds is the ONE AREA where a lot of the young people are seemingly becoming more bigoted and chauvinistic, compared to the oldheads. Fucking depresses me off my fucking ass, man.
So yeah, you call me whatever you want.
Italics, bold, all caps
Hmm… are you the person in the comic? Is this new canon?
