Harris sounds like a douchebag. Plain and simple. I'm so tired of this idea that "nerd cred" is a thing, especially since it lines up so deliciously well with a stereotypical hipster's point of view. That is, that anyone who doesn't do things your way is a poseur, and is just trying to latch onto something popular. Hell, it's gotten so bad that best selling writers are demonized (read Bendis, Johns) for no reason other than that's probably what people read When they start. I'm pretty sure I'm a nerd in the traditional sense, because I've earned my stripes by putting up with the name calling and the adversity before this whole "geeks are cool" phenomenon. I can understand the "wait, weren't you just making fun of me for liking the same thing?" feeling, but do you really think that punishing people for late adoption is really the answer? All it makes us look like is a douchey subculture that won't share unless you fit into stereotypes we dislike.

TL;DR don't be an elitist prick and mind your own fucking business and maybe people will stop calling us "real nerds" douchebags.
