They want hot ladies that don't follow modern fashion trends or hold any power over the stuff they like.

Basically someone who looks like whoever was hot when they were growing up, who thinks their hobbies are great and supports them but doesn't give them any guff.

Like a lot of dude want hot nerd ladies, but only if said nerd ladies don't have any opinions or thoughts of their own.

Because what they mean is “Why won’t women gently caress me for knowing all about comic books?”

A group of girls are auto-sjw's what the gently caress. Nerds should be creamin themselves over these ladies.

Part of why i love Overwatch is getting to see nerds self own by attaching their fragile masculinity to a game with a talking gorilla amd a British person with all their teeth.

You're all missing the point: these women getting into nerdy hobbies don't want to have sex with the guys already there, and therefore are not fulfilling their function and thus unwelcome.

I think that's what it boils down to for a lot of these types. They don't just want women being a part of their communities, they want women to have sex with.

I remember being the only "openly" nerd girl in my group D&D comic readers college friends (considering my cultural background and where I live on, girls liking comics,action movies or playing video games was "un-lady" a few decades ago). Most of them stopped talking to me because I was never interested in dating any them, at all.

FYI They were annoying while trying to hit on me. From super shy shy nerd guy who was literally shaking when talking to me, to the guy who recently was slowly stepping in to stalker territory.

I've noticed that its more of an older people in general thing rather than an social media idiot thing, though of course there's a lot of crossover between those two groups. My theory is that before texting and facebook, they only communicated via text in formal letters or work emails so any writing with proper punctuation reads as serious and thought out. When they want to write more conversationally, they add pauses as if they're thinking about what to say next because that's how they'd say it in real life.

Except they do want to have sex with them. Nerdy girls are plenty sexually available to their friends and peers, just like other girls. There are plenty of women out there that would love to spend a day gaming and loving.

What the subset of nerd guys you're talking about really want is something that will prop up their fragile masculinity and sense of inferiority, and treat women like some magical item that once possessed will grant them that. So, much like the INCELs that get sex and then claim it doesn't count because reasons, there are a ton of misogynistic nerd guys who get girlfriends and still claim women won't date them because they're shallow bitches prejudiced against geeks.

Also none of the aforementioned nerd guys are really desirable. They think the reason they can't get laid is because they don't have nerdy girls who will worship at their pedestal, when in reality they're unhygienic slobs and/or massive assholes.

Pretty much every girl I'm friends with is a giant nerd, some more than me. I'm pretty sure boys and girls are into nerdy interests equally; the girls are just regular human beings who don't want to gently caress every sweaty fat guy at a Magic tournament.

True, but I'm trying to get away from the usual framing that girls just aren't choosing to be with these guys because it's really irrelevant. It's a cult of masculinity that makes a virtue out of social ineptitude, and guys will self-sabotage and deny their own lived experience in order to fit the image of the martyr they feel like they are. I've got an old high school friend that went full MRA and likes to whine about how he never really got attention from girls because he was a dorky teen. Dude actually spent highschool making out with emo girls who were interested in his moody artistic side until they gave up on him ever wanting more and dated one of his friends instead.

In an effort to cut down on IoSM, Norwegian broadcaster NRK is implementing a multiple choice quiz that readers will be forced to complete before being allowed to post, in order to ensure that they've understood what the article was about.

http://www.independent.co.uk/life-s...s-a7607246.html

Norsk Riks Kringkasting posted:

Stories that use the quiz will see people presented with three short multiple choice questions that they must give the correct response to. So, for instance, people might have to correctly answer what an acronym that is used in the story stands for, for instance. The creators of the tool – which for the moment is in use on NRKbeta, the broadcasters' tech page – hope that it will ensure that everyone knows what they're talking about before they actually start talking about it.

"We thought we should do our part to try and make sure that people are on the same page before they comment," journalist Ståle Grut told Nieman Lab, which first reported the news. If everyone can agree that this is what the article says, then they have a much better basis for commenting on it.”

“If you spend 15 seconds on it, those are maybe 15 seconds that take the edge off the rant mode when people are commenting,” said Marius Arnesen, editor of NKRbeta.
