@white_male @sickburnbro I think the point is the prevalence of what VoxDay called "Gamma" or "secret king" behavior is the default in pop culture, and we need to model aspirational stuff so people can see how an example besides [Dweeb outsmarts jock and saves the day]. The normalization of revenge of the nerds type stuff is an external social signal to low effort dweebs that they don't need to try, when reality is the opposite.
