mitchcorvus asked: John Green isn't all that bad you know, “…because nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff… Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-can’t-control-yourself love it. Hank, when people call people nerds, mostly what they’re saying is ‘you like stuff.’ Which is just not a good insult at all. Like, ‘you are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness’.”― John Green
I do like John Green. There’s just an annoying side to the nerdfighter thing that I have a major problem with.
Also that quote seems like “nerds vs. hipsters,” which isn’t really a fight that needs to happen.

But the point with the nerdfighter thing isn’t “we’re better than [someone]” it’s “we’re proud to be ourselves and we’re not ashamed for liking any of the stuff we like!” there’s really no strings attached to it…
