"I disagree, I think that a certain niche-ness is implied when calling someone a nerd. Why aren't people into sports, or makeup called nerds? Because it's mainstream and more socially expectable. Calling someone nerd is meant to be a form of asserting that that person stands out, or has weird interests. Harry potter is mainstream in the book-reading space, but not with the entire world. It's also a poor example, because Potterheads are weird and I don't like them." JM explained. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Oh, but here's the thing: I would argue that people who are into sports, or makeup, or anything that mainstream are in fact nerds. They don't admit it because the general connotation of that word from a bygone era was negative. But we're in a new era now. An era where being a nerd is cool. And those people who are super into sports, or makeup, or fishing, or whatever it may be; they have just as much a vested interest in those hobbies that another person might have into Brandon Sanderson's works. "We're in a new era, ladies and gentlemen, where everyone is a nerd, whether they realize it or not. Unless they have no hobbies, in which case they're boring. And our good friend Edema Rue is anything but boring." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
