      it’s a really weird and wild veer off course from the salient take of “most nerds are actual evil soulless monsters” to the weird and brainwormed idea that “my idea of Socially Acceptable Interests and Socially Acceptable Amount of Interest is objectively right and is the foundation of adulthood (i don’t infantilize autistic people btw i swear!!!)”
