Dare I say that it's so upsetting the way media shows "nerd" characters, cuz I really love need people and Irl they're absolutely not the way they're portrayed in movies/shows/books/etc
And those pieces of media often make people have negative prejudices about real nerds
They're often being shown as some annoying arrogant "urm actually☝️🤓" type of people who have no sense of humor, aren't even slightly social, don't care about their appearance, trying to be some teacher's pet, think everyone around is stupid, know nothing about smth that's not their main interest, extremely misogynistic, don't have their own opinions and just blindly follow rules and etc
And ofc there are such people, I've probably even seen two or three, but this type isn't even that widespread, I knew and were friends with many of nerd people and all of them were really nice and regular people who just happened to also be smart, enthusiastic and knowledgeable about a particular subject and etc. But it didn't stop them from being open-minded, socially active, versatile, funny, creative, well-looking, charismatic and really interesting people who def will reach everything they want to in the future. I really loved them and loved talking to them
I seriously want media to portray them as normal people as they are and not just walking negative stereotype
