excited for the vaatividya deep-dive on the Jirard lore

I had a friend compare Big Bang Theory depiction of nerds to blackface...I don't think it is that bad but I think Big Bang Theory is not a true depiction of nerd culture. Also I live in the middle of no where with two kids ages 12 and 14. My 14 year old gets bullied for liking anime and doing cosplay. Also she gets bullied for not fitting in with the conservative jerks around here. She stands up for minorities and stands up people of all sexualities and yea she gets bullied quite a bit. It sucks. I think though the concept of being bullied and what behavior is bullied is different based on where you live etc...

Also I want to add, I live in small redneck town that still has confederate flags hanging up in some areas...

Pretty sure weebs and furries are still high on the bully list

To this day I still refuse to get a Facebook. That shit is too toxic with people who haven't yet had the revelations that you guys have and are still posting south park ass shit. That being said, my friends did find a super old Instagram of mine once from when I was like 14 and just roasted me MERCILESSLY for how "iM nOt LiKe OtHeR gIrLs" i was, haha

I spent so long being afraid to even consider myself a furry because people were just so mean about it. When I got my fursuit last year and posted it openly, I had a friend that I had known for years outright tell me that he had 0 tolerance for furries and felt like he needed to no longer associate with me. It honestly hurt a bit but the friends that truly mattered have been so supportive. Even my friend who is terrified of mascot costumes actually enjoys seeing me suit up ^_^

Good on you for not dealing with Facebook. I deleted my Facebook two and half years ago and couldn't be happier. I still use Instagram (owned by Meta/Facebook), but I don't interact with it in the same way and due to the pages I follow, I don't have to worry about "doomscrolling" at all.

If it makes you happy, that's what matters.

It's interesting to me, as an overweight guy listening to a gaming show of larger than life people, that Brett didn't really touch on the still rampant bullying that happens based on your body image. Perhaps he meant specifically behavior and not someone's appearance / traits, but I am certainly interested to know if or to what extent the Bros have dealt with fat shaming.

Dude, dont let the assholes get you down! It may not be for everyone but that doesnt mean its somehow awful or gross. I feel like anything going against the "norm" is gonna get backlash, but i always say its because theyre envious of the confidence to take a leap and be yourself, even if others may consider it "weird." If others dont like it, they can move on and never interact with the community, just like any hobby or lifestyle. The hate is totally unwarranted.

I honestly didnt even think about that and i dont know how, because i was definitely fat shamed as a kid. I wasnt even overweight or unhealthy. My doctor said it was perfectly normal for me to be in the weight range i was in, and once i sprouted up in 8th/9th grade, the weight redistributed anyway. Im still on the chubby side, but have no health issues related to it. But it was so rampant i remember even when we got school physicals being told by the NURSES that i was overweight and could suffer from childhood obesity. Being fat not only got me bullied by my peers, but also was a reason for my school to tell my parents i was unhealthy, even when my doc said otherwise. Real shitty man.

Has furries become less sexual though and more cosplayish or comfort in certain gear? Like if people into hentai switched to tentacle wear or outfits. Seems culture shifting moves way faster for younger gens, which is interesting.
