Theatre kids and nerds were entirely different groups. Theatre kids want everyone to look at them, they're overly dramatic, like drama, it's in the title. Dorks, nerds and metal guys with long hair just wanted to be left alone and look at cool art of dudes using battle axes on dragons.
Dorks, nerds and metal heads made all these types of games. Theatre kids just infested it when it became popular enough to gain attention by making themselves the face of it. And now we have quirky millennial writing plaguing everything.

"Very little time in the Odyssey is spent in the perspective of a woman"
O illiterate founder of Greece, the goddess Athena (a female) drives the entire story from start to finish. Her fingerprints are on every page.
The entire point of the story is that mortals, in spite of all their pride and greed, are the playthings of the gods and therefore must be humble and behave honorably or they will be punished. The male god Poseidon is the antagonist, and the hero is Athena, who repeatedly leads the otherwise helpless characters to resolution and peace.
This knowledge could be yours, if you read the book

The casting conversation for Supergirl:
"Is she extremely attractive?"
"No"
"OK, not a must-have. So she's athletic?"
"Also no"
"So then at least we got someone world-famous!"
"Nope. She's unknown"
"Oh. Well, she must have a great vibe"
"Nah, she will insult the audience repeatedly."
"So then she must be a HUGE comic book fan?"
"Nope. She will say in interviews she basically doesn't know the character"
"Well, Superman is all-American, she must totally hold up American values!"
"She's Australian."
"Hmmm...she's hired!"
<fast forward 2 years>
"Supergirl failed! How could this have happened? It must be the fault of the audience."
"#Supergirl is just the latest in a long line of disappointing movies — or, in the worrying case of 'Batgirl,' axed projects — centering a female superhero since Patty Jenkins’ impressive 'Wonder Woman' back in 2017. Why can’t Hollywood get it right?" asks @MarlowNYC.

Lying about Gary Gygax won't ever change the fact he co-created Dungeons & Dragons. Intentionally trying to harm his legacy won't ever lessen his influence on the hobby. You can kick and scream all you want, but the man's legacy is forever. 🎲

I don't know who to break it to, but games of Commander are going 6-8 turns without the help of any of the cards that were banned today.

I am truly gutted that Jeweled Lotus was banned by the @mtgcommander. I have met literally thousands of players who LOVE this card and who truly treasure it in their EDH deck. It's unfair to do it after 4 years & now it's unplayable anywhere.

People like you made it literally impossible for men to have any spaces/hobbies/clubs/interests/groups or social spaces of their own. People like you mandated that women MUST be included in everything they think and do. And now people like you berate them for not having the very things they're prevented from having. People like you are the problem.
if men’s mental health mattered (to men) they’d be creating safe spaces for themselves and each other, pursuing therapy, and creating community. instead, they perpetuate the very behaviors systems that have handicapped them in the first place, refuse to support or create community amongst each other, severely damage the women in their lives who try to care for them, and attack women online for not doing the work for them in replies to tweets like the one below lol.
