It's not a "thing"; one of the most cogent (and informative, and insightful) criticisms of BBT is given barely any notice as a link entitled "Sheldon is autistic", which just goes to show that the author probably didn't read it all (there is so much more than autism issues in that article; it's at http://butmyopinionisright.tumblr.com/post/31079561065/the-problem-with-the-big-bang-theory http://butmyopinionisright.tumblr.com/post/31079561065/the-p...). The question is not "should I hate this because everyone else does?" but "is BBT really a champion of geek culture, or is it pandering to the anti-intellectuals like every other show out there?" Read the article I linked and decide for yourself.
