i saw part of an episode where one of the neckbeards sexually harassed Penny, said it was okay because he was lonely, and then she apologized to him for being mad.

turned it off and will not watch it again. death to all bazingas.

One my fiance’s friends in China recommended this show for learning English. She liked other schlock - Friends and Monk were entertaining enough - but we tried to watch Big Bang together and episode 1 was enough for us… I guess it was the pilot but that’s somehow more confusing, that it actually got picked up.

Be glad you stopped watching there, that guy (Howard) does a lot more sex pest shit on the show. And Penny sets him up with one of her friends, despite knowing all about his sleazy character.

Incredible writing, I know. Chuck Lorre masterclass

I had a roommate that absolutely loved it and I’ve consequently seen at least the first 5-6 seasons several times over.

I had a similar experience where the most :LIB: and the most :scared-fash: of my extended family (they’re married to each other) said that I must be a big fan of The Big Bazinga Theory because I’m into nerdy things like… reading. :joker-shopping:

Nerdy things like…reading.

How the hell did the US ever become a global hegemony if attitudes like this are a non-isolated incident? I’ve dealt with this attitude before.

My pet theory is that anti-intellectualism in the US wasn’t really pushed until the 60s onwards, therefore its effects have most been felt after US global hegemony.

Every autistic person has heard this. Just like every person with dark hair and glasses has heard “you look like Harry Potter”.

I’ve also been compared to Hagrid, and as much I as I’m tired of hearing about those mediocre TERF YA novels I have to admit it’s kinda true

The one thing I refuse to let go of from my childhood love of HP is my love of Hagrid tbh.

And yeah, I’m sort of sporting a Hagrid look these days myself.

An ex of mine literally fetishized autism, told me I reminded her of Leonard. She did not like hearing that Sheldon was better than Leonard but that I didn’t like BBT anyway. Months after we broke up, she posted a picture of Leonard on Facebook, saying how she wished more people were like Leonard
