(DG3) When Nerds Become the Bullies

Friday June 30, 2017 11:30 am to 12:20 pm

Trolling, sexism, elitism, body shaming, and gatekeeping. Did anyone predict this would infect a culture based on acceptance and a mutual love of a "nerdy" topic? Nerds have been bullied since the term got coined and banded together to find a community that accepts them. That community has changed, being a "nerd" is cool now, those that used to bully are accepting the new culture and the bullied are now the bullies. What can you do? How do you defend those being bullied? How can the culture get back to its roots? Join us in a discussion by nerds, but for everyone.
