All the "fat people hate" people who go unbelivably far with going after fat people, these aren't well adjusted normal people, these are caved-in chested cystic-acned skinny nerds who were bullied their whole lives and now they wanna give what they got to someone lower on the social hierarchy than they think they are.

Some kids that got pushed into lockers aren't upset they are getting bullied, they're upset they aren't in a position to be pushing other kids into lockers.

Furries might be weird and gross, but at least they seem to be a genuinely welcoming and accepting community of weirdos Every furry community I've had the misfortune of being exposed to has been hilariously cliquey, extremely bigoted and every bit as hateful as other nerd subgroups like gamers. With the added persecution complex of being furries. The bulk of them tend to have a weird popularity system based entirely around worshipping whoever pays/produces the most for art of their fursona and thus agreeing with whatever batshit ideas that person might have. Nerds just tend to be terrible people.

No no the one with Father Brown where the punch-line was always "which was nice" but in that one bit it was "which was Nice" as in Nizza.

On the nerd/weirdo groups being arseholes thing: I reckon its more a hugbox mentality. A simple YAY us, and BOO them issue, where us is everyone who identifies with our particular brand of weirdness/social isolation, and them is everyone else. This breeds cliqueyness, which makes the group tighter knit, and more hostile to "outsiders". This cliqueyness turns into factions within the group, each claiming the other faction are really outsiders and not "true" whatever nerdy poo poo they identify as. Factionalism turns to drama, and drama leads to the bullying, shunning, and harassment of perceived difference. All the while everyone involved will loudly claim that they are not like teh bullys and jocks that they initially were trying to getaway from. But most importantly, I think nerds, (or gamers, or furries, or whatever), are arseholes that ruin everything they touch because if you base your entire personality and self image, and identity on one thing that you consume, (vidja games, comics, a cartoon, pretending to be a three tailed fox etc.), then you are a shallow, immature, and not well rounded person. These are the arseholes who cannot tell the difference between "Hey Dave, I like you as a person, and think you are fun to hang out with, but you know that cartoon show you like? Well I don't think it is that good." and "Hey Dave, everything about you that you inherently hold dear is poo poo and worthless. I hate you and all you stand for." So yeah, it is not surprising that they get cliquey and bully-y.

BrigadierSensible posted:On the nerd/weirdo groups being arseholes thing: Five Geek Social Fallacies was mentioned at the top of the page, but it describes what you're talking about. Basically, nerd groups that traditionally include a lot of people outcast from normal society end up unwilling to criticize any members of that society for poor behavior, lest they be accused of being "bullies" or engaging in ostracization. This is why every nerd friend group has at least one member that practically everyone hates but nobody is willing to say "Get the gently caress out."

Also a factor that people who are used to or perceive being bullied, shunned and oppressed are, naturally, on the defensive against outsiders, and soon come to overreact to any outside criticism or changes as a continuation of that bullying and oppression. Trying to call out bad behaviour within the group gets either shouted down as not important, or worse, a divide-and-conquer false flag/double standard imposed by outsiders. It gets worse when you have different kinds of these groups interacting with each other, because then you end up with two bands of people assuming the other is hell-bent on harassing, abusing and silencing them, and thus there is to be no mercy shown in what they seen as defending themselves.

Too true on this. I used to belong to a pretty nerdy Trekkie heavy online creative writing group that was horrible with this.

I knew my time with the group was going to be limited when we were bullshitting about our time in high school and I admitted I was pretty much a party girl who was out every weekend unless I had to study for a big test and everyone couldn't wrap their heads around someone who fit their definition of popular actually liking nerdly stuff. The guy who admitted he was on the football team caught the same flack. I ended up leaving the group when we were discussing writing in a cartoon style theme and some were wanting to write MLP stuff. Some of the group had reservations because of how sexualized the bronys have made it and drat if the two pushing for MLP in the group kicked up a fuss about people having issues with it and refusing to even concede that there were valid concerns being brought up. It was my "I'm done with this" moment after too much nerdlier than thou bs over the years. Looking back, a good chunk of that group were pretty broken people.
