one of the things that has been pointed out to me a couple of times by a couple of people is the duality of nerd culture. on one hand there is the out right rule of consumerism. everything in nerd culture is a product. that be a movie, a collectible a comic or a convention. its all about putting money in someones pocket. the good is the consuming of what you as a nerd love and cherish. the negative is that kind of consumerism leaves fandoms flat and void of good content. it also leaves people with a strange sense of blindly following cause the only way there going to get what they want to to follow blindly.
community is the opposite of that idea. its about quality over quantity. more about who your with than what you consuming. living your life out with others a lot like you doing things you all love. playing games or watching a TV show. more that just consuming, you end up discussing what your watching. laughing over a bad game move. or getting lost in conversation. you tend to beat consumerism with each other . like a super hero team beating a cold heart
ed organisation that has infiltrated society under our noses and is starting to rise up and take over.
kind of sounds like agents of shield trying to defeat Hyder. they came out of no where and had a upper hand in slowly breaking down society. the agents were caught of guard., felt betrayed but stuck together and won. had some loses but won. that's life. we have this nerd community that is holding us up. bad things might happen but we are proud to stand side by side with our friends and our fandom.
