[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole thread is gross. Here we are, all adults discussing the coolness or nerdyness of our children. What the hell is wrong with people?[/quote] I am on a first name basis with the owner and several regular patrons at a board game cafe, and I have paid over $50 for a set of metal dice. My child is a nerd, and I can recognize other nerds when I see them. [/quote] “Nerd” is a legitimate subculture that has commonly known characteristics and a history of oppression that leads to a sense of healthy solidarity. “Cool” is inherently a bigoted ideology that doesn’t have a static meaning but rather shifts according to who can exploit economic or interpersonal power imbalances. It is less of a subculture and more of a pseudo religious ideology that can be used by manipulative people to satisfy their own ego. Parents discussing their “cool” kids is…not very cool.[/quote]
