On the other hand, I'm completely unamazed that a show that reinforces negative geek stereotypes while passing itself off as an accurate and fair representation is incredibly popular.
- potatolicious 16y ago> "while passing itself off as an accurate and fair representation" ... Wait, what? You know you're talking about a sitcom, right? The whole point of the show is to be ridiculous for laughs.
- burgerbrain 16y agoI'm referring to the GPs attitude towards the show. Despite the near constant stream of jokes at geeks expense, people still somehow think it isn't making fun of geeks.
- mbreese 16y agoIt's a sitcom. That's what they do... don't take it so seriously. My point was that people other than traditional 'geeks' find the show amusing. They get the humor. Geek-culture has gone mainstream.
- scott_s 16y agoI don't think that's accurate. They're laughing at us, not with us. They don't need to understand "geek-culture" to laugh at us. We just need to be different.
