For me personally, hands down it is people thinking George Lucas came up with his grand vision for the original trilogy in the 1970s. I won't go so far as others do to totally discredit Lucas (like insisting the most beloved film in the franchise came from somebody else), but I will cling to my guns here and maintain the truth, which we've all seen from Chuck's reviews. It is only with the prequels he had a grand vision in mind.

The thing about nerds and geeks etc. is that very few nerds and geeks nowadays are actually nerds and geeks. They're normies who like things that have been rubber stamped by society as being nerdy or geeky and as such have taken on the identity as a matter fitting in. I think that is where the ''fake nerd'' stereotype comes from, particularly with women, as it is rather annoying to watch someone who shrills about what a geek they are just because they have a Superman T-shirt and play Fortnite but otherwise have zero investment beyond that.

Basically what i am saying is that this stereotype is definitely dying, but there are certainly still nerds and geeks (mostly male) who absolutely still fit that description and as long as there are the stereotype will not die. And frankly, I think anyone who has been to a Warhammer shop and seen someone with fluff on their top lip get territorial over the paint job on a toy knows the type I am talking about. Its also these people that start wars on the internet about ridiculously unimportant shit such as whether female dwarfs have beards or not.

I don't know if this counts, but that theory that James Bond is in fact many different people needs to die. Yes, its silly that the man started his career in the 1960s as Sean Connery and ended it in the early noughties as Pierce Brosnan (making him a senior citizen) but this is also the franchise that contains villains with teeth that can eat steel cables, literal voodoo gods that cannot die, women that can see the future with cards, men with three nipples etc. It was never meant to be a serious franchise until Daniel Craig took over as a whole new Bond.

The evidence that he is one guy is littered throughout the films, the most prominent being the repeated references to Tracy Bond and all of the returning gadgets in Die Another Day.

Though if I were to actually contribute to this thread, I guess it would be that the Imperium of man is an explicitly Facsist state, it's way too decentralized to really be called Fascist, Authoritarian definitely but not explicitly Fascist. Then again (I swear that's my catchphrase on this forum) people often conflate Fascism with Authoritarianism.

Yeah, hardcore nerds will be those who are ostracized by society. I'm a voraphile, and very few people will understand me on that. Kinda the same thing.

Just retire the word fascist unless being referred to the ww2 Axis powers.
