Lately, I feel like basic people have been labeling themselves "nerds" or "weirdos" simply because they like a specific anime, for example—largely due to the romanticization of these terms, and the fact that these individuals likely never faced bullying for actually being "weird." In my view, the very people who used to bully others using these labels are now adopting them in a romanticized way, yet they still pass judgment when they encounter someone who is genuinely "weird" (by their standards). |

Honestly, I'm mixed too. I don't think people should be made fun of for their interests n all but at the same time, a lot of people that feel socially outcast or different from their peers for one reason or another fall back on these "weird" communities to finally find acceptance and a safe space to be themselves, and basic people trying to participate in that community feels like its just taking that safe space away! |
