10 Extreme Cases of Nerd Rage<\/h1>\n

A handful of the many things that have made our geek blood boil.<\/em><\/p>\n

By\u00a0Jennifer Bergen<\/a><\/p>\n

Nerd rage. We’ve all experienced it. Perhaps you feel it in a darkened movie theater while watching a timeless graphic novel unravel before your eyes (ahem,\u00a0Watchmen<\/em>). Maybe you feel your temperature start to rise when a Joss Whedon show is cancelled. It might even be because that hobbit looks a little too\u00a0uncomfortably\u00a0real<\/em><\/a>. Whatever the catalyst, something you love has been degraded or insulted in some way and your anger, offense, or indignation may result in a destructive Hulk-like rage. Or, more likely, you turn to Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, and the comments sections of blogs to unleash these feelings of fury on the world.<\/p>\n

Not that every nerd is sitting around all day finding things to complain about. There’s even what we like to call “anti-nerd-rage,” which is exemplified with Bronies. When one thinks of a fanbase, it’s common to conjure images of bitter cynics who attack everything that’s wrong with the subject they hold dear. However, the fanbase of the animated television series\u00a0My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic<\/em>\u00a0boasts a remarkable amount of optimism and sincerity.\u00a0Bronies<\/a>, show us that nerd rage can sometimes work in a positive light. That being said, maybe the Bronies are among the things that ignite your rage.<\/p>\n
