Banning books is such a childish idea. Ignoring ideas does not make them go away.

Because comic books, video games, and Dungeons and Dragons have become so firmly embedded in popular culture, the word ‘nerd’ just doesn’t get thrown around as much. The word itself originated in the 1950s, with Dr. Seuss, of all people, though word etymologists, or word nerds, if you want to stick to the theme, believe that it was used among US college students at the time.
By the 1960s, the words had spread around much of the English-speaking world, mostly to describe someone who was particularly bookish and studious. This is somewhat strange since many people avidly read comic books at the time, but only nerds were singled out for abuse based on their hobbies. In general, the trend seemed to be simply to bully those who professed an interest in things like science fiction and fantasy.
A slightly alternative theory is that in the 1970s, nerds, or knurds were people in college deemed to be boring since they would prefer to study, than, say, drink. The eagle-eyed among you may have noticed that knurd is just drunk spelled backward, which isn’t really that clever. Regardless of its ‘true’ origin, the word entered the mainstream lexicon from the sitcom ‘Happy Days’ where it was used regularly.

As it often is with human cruelty, people with high-functioning-autism or Asperger syndrome were often also lumped together with ‘traditional’ nerds and mocked as such. While now a nerd is seen as someone who is perhaps a bit obsessed with science fiction or fantasy, at the time it was a common pejorative for people who struggled socially. Stereotypically, a nerd would have glasses and be buck-toothed, despite neither of these features being at all related to comic books or autism.

I like that soooooo much! Awesome sentiment . I will remember it forever and pass it on to my grandchildren. My own children never listen to me as they already know everything. 🤪👍🏻👍🏻

He slayed the mystery sky demon...known only as the mythical God Dhron.
But slowly and surely, topics once seen as purely for nerds started to gain mainstream appeal. Comic book movies now dominate the box office for over a decade, while almost all young people and many adults play video games from time to time. Nerds also found allies among celebrities who sometimes would reveal ‘geeky’ hobbies during interviews. After all, if Vin Diesel plays Dungeons and Dragons, maybe it’s not such a ‘lame’ hobby after all.

I only learn better if I’m able to attach personalities to what I’m learning. I’ve been able to do well in math and physics because of each formula’s unique personality. Able to learn chemistry by attaching personalities to the elements and same with bio. I start reaching my limitations when it comes to languages because the rules don’t match with anyone’s personality at all
The changing economic landscape also had a part to play. Previously, the wealthiest business people were titans of industry of finance gurus. Now tech companies dominate, and these are often founded and operated by people who fall into the more traditional category of geek or nerd. Being very smart with computers is now a common pathway to success and many self-proclaimed nerds ware their hobbies as a symbol of pride.

Robin Hood is still one of my favorite Disney movies. And probably to blame for that phase of my life where I was absolutely a furry.

I remember my college days. I took a Philosophy class, and it was SO boring (and I was so young and unused to college; I'd been homeschooled from 8th grade on) I'd fall asleep in class. I got really embarrassed by that, so I stopped showing up to class. Then I learned our entire grade hinged on one written final exam. I showed up for the final exam and aced it. Passed the class even though I'd attended maybe three weeks' worth of classes total XD

The funny thing about science is, that the more you learn/read the more fun it gets. The sad thing about science is, that when it really gets to be fun you're an old age pensioner and cannot use it for anything but amusement.
