This might illustrate the way Sheldon, and others like him, have been treated:

Wouldn't it have been great if the guys had met women with the same interests as them. They could have really explored nerdom. I think they would have met lots of like minded women at comic con, online, in comic book store, train store,etc.

The show would have been a cult classic. They could have explored the culture in an informed and hilarious way, instead of dumping the concept and turning BB into a lesson where everyone eventually tries to be normal. Where nerdy likes and obsessions are just a growth spurt rather than a real identity.

They have too much self loathing to find someone like themselves attractive. But yes it is a missed opportunity. I have many comic book loving, marvel loving, lotr, doctor who, DC, zombie loving ladies on my tumblr. I personally can't stand to read comic book but love to endlessly listen or read discussions about the art, the mythos, the characters of comic books.

It is weird, what is considered normal for a man to do. If I stand in the rain watching twenty two multi-millionaires kick around a truncated icosahedron, that's okay, but when I told a woman recently that I like PC gaming, she said she thought it was silly. The games I play require complex decision making, and precise control. I believe that it will be too dangerous for humans to go across the cosmos initially, and that robots controlled by the best gamers wiil take the missions. Also advancements in science, has changed our lives immeasurably over the last century. Science and it's application is taking us into the future. (I caught the end of a Brian Cox night. He said there needed to be more programmes about science and science fiction on TV). We can now kill fictional Charlie Brooker.

My students like yelling the word "waterpark", because with their pronunciation it sounds like "what the f*ck." They also call Hangman "DIE GAME!!!" and they want the little stickman to die. And they remind me of BBT sometimes, because they're obsessed with rock-paper-scissors and will continue doing it until you stop them...

ETA: I should've given some context, my students are elementary-school ESL kids, and it's usually the older ones, like the 6th graders, that try to pull some cheeky stuff...

Oi Australia, enough of Bushfires, drought, floods, poisonous snakes and fist-sized-spider infestations.
Give us something NEW you bollocks!
