I refer to it as geek culture black face.
As a nerd I loathe that show, itβs vapid. You nailed it.
I'm a Nerodivergent geek, I had lots of people tell me "you will love this show" so I watched some and now I wonder how those people really see me. So that's kinda fun.
Yeah, that's what I told my grandmother when she wanted me to watch it. It was like the show was portraying nerds as other people see them when we start gushing about a niche interest.
βNerdfaceβ I have called it.
Wow, that's incredibly succinct and accurate.
This is a great way to put it! Totally agree
