Found this interesting reading and wondered what fellow wiz thought of it. It occurs to me that wiz communities may be an example of the reforming nerd culture which this proposes is necessary. We reject a lot if stereotypical masculinity, are exclusive and reject posers, and sometimes even form a sense of pride around our traits.
Are there any other nerd subcultures like this?
Cannot easily relate to HBB since they prob all get laid but there is a comfort reading woes highlighted by the gender normally scorning us for them.
That comfort makes me suspicious though. It is that same feel that let us welcome SJWs. I find HB nerdiness more convincing but still realize I should try to foster a skepticism of it. Hoping more experienced wiz could give a fresh perspective lest I am bewitched by money sucking sirens. Have not donated but might have had I been wealthy.
Am critical of their AVFM association. Paul Elam engages in the same shaming tactics against male sexuality that feminists do when it suits him. He is quick to creepshame SavannahApe for having a criminal conviction past and call him a pedophile. A stinging insult for those of us into MLP or shoujo. Makes me suspicious of him having chad elements. A succubi pacted to wiz purposes should not side with one embracing such normy biases for PR purposes just cuz his site got popular.
