The most hilarious part is that this video portrays the male 'gatekeepers' as the antagonists, and the female 'nerd' as the hero. Bitch is trying to get into a club full of losers, then bitching when she can't get in. They're all pathetic; men and women.
@@eoincampbell1584 Excuse me? The video is presenting a scenario and I'm critiquing it. What's the problem?

But based on the way it is presented, why would she want to be part of that group? Both of these parties are stupid, and neither should be seen positively.
In defense of Um Actually, a show like Sex and the City wouldn’t qualify on account of being a modern day drama. Obviously one can be a nerd over a drama, but male-centric modern day dramas (at least AFAIK) are also excluded. I don’t think they’ve done questions about the Sopranos or Breaking Bad, for example. If I’m wrong about that, then there’s no excuse for the exclusion. That said, Barbie and Beanie Babies should totally qualify.
F. I. R. E. Fair question. I was thinking more in terms of it being a toy and being equivalent to Transformers or GI Joe. Also, the franchise has grown to include video games and animated films.

i was hanging out at a party where my friends and i were talking about marvel heroes and just the regular back and forth that happens there. one of the guys that was by us laughed about how nerdy it all was (but not in a mean way) and said he didn't understand the interest in it. later i heard him talking to one of his buddies about some gun he bought and all the different variations to it and how some models have different calibers (some such details i don't know much about) and then talked about the history of it and how it evolved from different guns and i laughed and explained to him how the stuff he was talking about was just as nerdy as our stuff. after some back and forth he realized how in the end its just useless information about something that doesn't really matter but we just happen to be interested in. good times.
Honestly I think the beauty of being a nerd is sharing the experience with fellow nerds, sharing experiences and learning about new things. To be nerdy is to be passionate about what you love, not gatekeeping Sci-Fi and Fantasy
most nerds i know would agree, i have yet to meet someone who doesn't define a nerd in this way, yet i hear about many people talking about how nerds wont let women into their nerd-spaces. look at gamer gate for example, can you find anyone who was saying they wanted women out of their gaming, excluding the counter-movement, of course. (fine young capitalists) nerds are one of the most tolerant groups around, rather, they care the least about these kinds of things until they start losing, at which point they say anything to try to get the other person mad.
I appreciate the sentiment but technically everything discussed here is Geek culture. Now my wife citing her expansive knowledge of biology and the strange qualities creatures have due to evolution then that is nerdy

Way to get get wrong. Nerds are practitioners. They aim to achieve things related to their particular subject. Booksmart doesnt translate into actual practical/tangible achievments. If anyone, the geek is booksmart.
@@roqulere No. No, no, no. People not knowing words well enough to differentiate them doesn't make them the same word. Jealousy and envy are still different.

If you've never had that experience, I can understand your concern, but I assure you the writer is addressing something well known and experienced among many of us.
Gotta love this. I’m a girl and a huge superhero and video game nerd. I can relate to this sketch. Especially how people think girls can’t like certain stuff
Nerds lean towards academic pursuits and knowledge, and are studious and intelligent in a chosen field. Geeks are fans or enthusiasts of something, focusing on trivia and memorabilia.
I don't think any of this stuff is nerdy. It's geeky. Geeks are consumers of media and pop culture. Nerds are academics who indulge in intellectual pursuits. One day the internet will understand.
This sketch actually helped me realize that I do this, too. It’s so easy to dismiss something nerdy by a woman especially if it’s tailored *to* women but everyone is a nerd about *something* and it doesn’t have to be everything that *I* find interesting because *I* am a nerd.
Yeah, see, it also seems to have been different depending on where you live. I always learned a nerd was really into stuff and being a geek was about academic interest. But I've seen tons of people that say it's the opposite. It might also be that I'm from The Netherlands, where the English term "nerd" was commonly used, but "geek" was not. So they would just use nerd interchangeably for either.
I’m nerdy for something that mostly only get recognized as “oh yeah that one scary kids film from the 80’s” or “oh yeah that one scary kids show on Netflix” and that is the dark crystal. I can recite each clan’s territory, capital, totem animals (with only one exception), patron tree and the maudra they had during age of resistance

Life was simpler when Nerd was a pejorative. The Gatekeeping is silly, but I am sympathetic to those who feel that now the term is rehabilitated that it can appear that everyone who derided you now wants a share of the identity you suffered under. Even if this isn't the reality.
@@eoincampbell1584 They are basically the same thing, but action figures come from previous canons. Also, the fact that Action Figures are a femine thing masquerading as a masculine one makes them more nerdy imo
Same with being a woman in gaming. Doesn't matter if you're a gamer or a game developer, you're always going to get death threats and told you're not good enough.
*Geeky. Nerdy is when you're really smart. Geeky is knowing a whole lot of shit about a particular topic. That's why you can be a science geek without being smart (you just know a lot of science)
The only kind of girl that can be a nerd is the main protagonist in a romance Disney film where they take off their glasses at the end and are all the sudden beautiful.

The meaning of being a nerd died the moment this word became a pop-culture label instead of an insult. Noone's a nerd any more- especially those who want to be.
coming up next: Are you sjw enough? every person who considers themselves to be a part of a group draws the line of what makes someone a part of that group somewhere below them. And I have stong opinions on barbies, fight me.
geek and nerd are synonymous also taking into account that the language is dynamic, today both words encompass in their daily use even more activities or behaviors than we could have described a few years ago, including mainstream ones, as long as they are identified with certain intellectuality or field of knowledge in "nerdy fashion". Whether it's science, pop culture, or different art forms. Several subgroups have tried to appropriate the terms to indicate for example in nerd = science or geek = technology / hobbies / pop culture. But in reality they are not technical words but socially marked slangs by social use, even if some do not wish to, they are currently synonymous used to cover a large number of behaviors and expressions on many different types of knowledge, not necessarily scientific ones.
I thought we agreed to dissolve the Council of Nerds. Literally. In vats of acid. ...What? That wasn't the Council? Then which nerds did we dissolve in acid for their close-mindedness?!

@@gaming-machine4692 It means Social Justice Warriors. Basically, it's a group of people who, as nerds believe, want to replace all the white males in media with women or people of color or both. The excuse they make for this kind of thinking is that they're not racists or misogynists but simply want to maintain the artistic integrity of the franchises they love which coincidentally means that all protagonists should be white males and everything else is SJW propagnda. Nerds who have a bit of common sense try very hard not to associate themselves with those racists

Excuse me? The video is presenting a scenario and I'm critiquing it. What's the problem? The premise is stupid for two different reasons: it targets these spiteful nerdy men who don't want to include women in nerd culture; and it praises a woman for wanting to be part of that same group. But based on the way it is presented, why would she want to be part of that group? Both of these parties are stupid, and neither should be seen positively.
@@ajnode There are female nerds who like fucking action figures like GI joe. You can like GI joe and still have a vagina. You just can't like barbies.
This is Rekha's appeal to Um, Actually
It's a spiritual sequel to "Are you Asian enough" which was one of the funniest sketches. You should check it out!
In defense of Um Actually, a show like Sex and the City wouldn’t qualify on account of being a modern day drama. Obviously one can be a nerd over a drama, but male-centric modern day dramas (at least AFAIK) are also excluded. I don’t think they’ve done questions about the Sopranos or Breaking Bad, for example. If I’m wrong about that, then there’s no excuse for the exclusion.
That said, Barbie and Beanie Babies should totally qualify.
Um, Actually is the same thing, except more like in a 'the cobert report' kind of way. They're both punching 'up' at nerds.
@@Malkav65
Wait, is Barbie not a modern drama?
F. I. R. E. Fair question. I was thinking more in terms of it being a toy and being equivalent to Transformers or GI Joe. Also, the franchise has grown to include video games and animated films.
I also hate that you can't be a nerd and are seen as a fake fan if you can't recite a Wikipedia page worth of information about it
And even then, I know every word (EVERY. WORD.) in every line in every single song of the Death of a Bachelor album (and about a third of Pray for the Wicked), and people, after _years,_ are still quicker to call me an emo than a nerd.

i was hanging out at a party where my friends and i were talking about marvel heroes and just the regular back and forth that happens there. one of the guys that was by us laughed about how nerdy it all was (but not in a mean way) and said he didn't understand the interest in it. later i heard him talking to one of his buddies about some gun he bought and all the different variations to it and how some models have different calibers (some such details i don't know much about) and then talked about the history of it and how it evolved from different guns and i laughed and explained to him how the stuff he was talking about was just as nerdy as our stuff. after some back and forth he realized how in the end its just useless information about something that doesn't really matter but we just happen to be interested in. good times.
Honestly I think the beauty of being a nerd is sharing the experience with fellow nerds, sharing experiences and learning about new things. To be nerdy is to be passionate about what you love, not gatekeeping Sci-Fi and Fantasy

My Little Pony, the 1986 movie, was produced by the same people who brought you the animated 1985 G.I. Joe TV series and 1986 animated Transformers film ... which can be considered nerdy boy things.

Nerds lean towards academic pursuits and knowledge, and are studious and intelligent in a chosen field. Geeks are fans or enthusiasts of something, focusing on trivia and memorabilia.
I like my definition of nerdy. It pop culture related and you got beaten in school for it, your in my nerd club. Welcome :D
“Welcome to the club, we have jackets.”
I don't think any of this stuff is nerdy. It's geeky.
Geeks are consumers of media and pop culture.
Nerds are academics who indulge in intellectual pursuits.
One day the internet will understand.
The difference is vague and they can be used interchangeably you don't need to be picky about it
I love how Lily is basically in character from the Game of Thrones Therapy where she is still into Sex and the City
She just can't let it go. That's why she's in therapy.
This sketch actually helped me realize that I do this, too. It’s so easy to dismiss something nerdy by a woman especially if it’s tailored *to* women but everyone is a nerd about *something* and it doesn’t have to be everything that *I* find interesting because *I* am a nerd.
I was just teaching my yr 12 Media class about gatekeeping. I'll have to share this to them. Great sketch.

THANK YOU. Y'all people have lost your dayum minds
Yeah, see, it also seems to have been different depending on where you live. I always learned a nerd was really into stuff and being a geek was about academic interest. But I've seen tons of people that say it's the opposite. It might also be that I'm from The Netherlands, where the English term "nerd" was commonly used, but "geek" was not. So they would just use nerd interchangeably for either.

geek and nerd are synonymous also taking into account that the language is dynamic, today both words encompass in their daily use even more activities or behaviors than we could have described a few years ago, including mainstream ones, as long as they are identified with certain intellectuality or field of knowledge in "nerdy fashion". Whether it's science, pop culture, or different art forms. Several subgroups have tried to appropriate the terms to indicate for example in nerd = science or geek = technology / hobbies / pop culture. But in reality they are not technical words but socially marked slangs by social use, even if some do not wish to, they are currently synonymous used to cover a large number of behaviors and expressions on many different types of knowledge, not necessarily scientific ones.
