Kwiminyaka engamashumi amathathu eyadlulayo, abazalwana beqela leAlpha Beta kwiKholeji yaseAdams eArizona bafundiswa isifundo esiqatha. IAlpha Betas ibingabafo bakho abathandanayo — beembaleki, kodwa bengabaxhasi abanesidima abanesidima kunye nelungelo elibakhokelele ekubeni bayikhathalele imithetho yoluntu oluchubekileyo kwaye babangcungcuthekise abanye kwabo bafunda nabo ngokubabiza ngamagama nokutshabalalisa. Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, iAlpha Betas zazingalawuleki kwaye zazidinga ukwehliselwa isikhonkwane.
Nangona kunjalo, xa iqela labafundi ababejolise kulo ngokugculelwa beboshwe kunye ukuze bahlawulise, izinto zaya zisiba mbi. Nangona ezi zikhalazo zaba bafundi zazisemthethweni, iindlela zabo zokujongana nabaxhaphazi babo zazingekho. Beqonda ukuba abanathemba lokwenyani lokuthatha aba bantu emfazweni (inxenye yesizathu sokuba abazalwana bakhethe aba bafundi ukuba batyhalele ngenxa yokuba buthathaka kwabo ngokwasemzimbeni) okanye nakwimfazwe yeepranks (kwakhona, kunokwenzeka (Ngokuzenzakalisa ukukhaba iidonki zabo), abafundi baqulunqa isicwangciso sokuhlasela iAlpha Betas ngaphandle kokuzibandakanya ngokuthe ngqo.
Bawuthatha umlo baya ePi Delta Pi, ubuqhetseba ukuba zonke iintombi zika-Alpha Betas zazingezabo. Ngelixa elinye iqela labafana langena endlwini lisongela kwaye ligrogrisa abasetyhini, elinye iqela laqala ukufaka iikhamera kuyo yonke indlu yobuqhetseba ukuze lifake imifanekiso yabasetyhini abahamba ze-ngokucacileyo, ngaphandle kolwazi lwabo okanye imvume. Eminye yale mifanekiso kamva yasasazeka phakathi komzimba wabafundi, kwaye kamva, ubuncinci kwaba bafundi bahlasela ngokwesondo intombi kaMongameli we-Greek Council (uAlpha Beta ngokwakhe), bemnyanzela ukuba amjoyine kwindawo efihlakeleyo kwaye emva koko samdlwengula ngelixa abanye abafundi bonwabele indibano ebukekayo.
Ngokunyaniseka, le ayisiyiyo indlela abantu abaninzi abalikhumbula ngayo iyelenqe lowe-1984 Impindezelo yeNerds , imovie ethi, ngokwe Ugcino lwedatha kwi-Intanethi Ixabisa i-40, i-900 yeedola kuhlahlo-lwabiwo mali lwe- $ 8,000,000 kwaye ichazwa ngumsebenzisi omnye we-IMDB njenge-An Instant Classic ye-Underdog kuthi sonke. Leyo yindlela endandiyikhumbula ngayo imovie, ndade ndayibukela kwakhona kwiminyaka embalwa eyadlulayo, okokuqala ndakuba mdala, kwaye kwangoko wabethwa yindlela ifilimu edlala ngayo ukuxhaphaza ngokwesondo kunye nohlaselo lokuhleka. Kuyinyani ukuba ii-nerds ziyaphakama kubaxhaphazi bazo kwaye ziyazixhobisa, kodwa banako kuphela ukwenza oko ngokuhlukumeza abasetyhini abanolwaphulo-mthetho lwabo oluphambili kukungakhathali kunye nokungathandwa kakubi ngamakhwenkwe.
Abanye, kunjalo, baya kuphikisa ukuba ndizithatha ezi zinto nzulu; yinto nje yokuhlekisa ekhampasini yesini, yokulila ngokuvakalayo. Kodwa andinakukunceda kodwa ndive ukuba le movie inento esinokusixelela yona malunga neenkcubeko zethu ezijikeleze ubundlobongela, ukungaziphathi kakuhle, kunye nemibono yobudoda. Sonke siqhelene I-jock esisidenge / umfana othandana nomntu ongathandani naye kunye neenwele zakhe ezi-moussed ezigqithisileyo, ukujonga kwakhona i-Ax Body Spray . Thina yazi laa mfo ungumfazi ongaziphathi kakuhle ohlekisa oosisi bakhe ngeziqhulo zodlwengulo. Kodwa ndiyacinga, ngamanye amaxesha, ngempazamo sicinga ukuba lo mfo unxibe isikipa seLight Lantern onokucengceleza IMonty Python kunye neGrail eNgcwele xa iyonke ayinabungozi. Usoyika ukuthetha nabasetyhini, siqiqa, ngenxa yoko akanakuba nenkululeko yokuba nelungelo okanye ilungelo lenkwenkwe. Kodwa iziganeko zamva nje, ndicinga ukuba, kufanele zisenze ukuba sibize ubulumko obuqhelekileyo ukuba bube ngumbuzo.
Ndiyisidenge mna. Ndifumene ingqokelela enkulu yencwadi. Okwangoku kukho Iigremlins ibhokisi yesidlo sasemini kwitafile yam yegumbi lokutyela. Ndisadlala Mntundini Kombat II kwiSega Genesis yam. Kwaye, xa ndandimncinci, ndandiqinisekile ukuba ndiza kugwetywa ukuhlala ndiyintombi ubomi bam bonke. Ukuba ubundixelele umntwana oneminyaka eli-17 ubudala ukuba, ngenye imini, ndingathanda ukuthandana nomfazi wam okrelekrele kwaye mhle-njengokuba ngoku ndinjalo-ngendicinga ukuba uhlekisa ngam.
Kukho ubuxoki obuthile i-nerginal nerd eyizixelela yona ukuze ikwazi ukumelana nokusilela kwayo kwimpumelelo yothando. Obunye bobu buxoki abunabungozi ngandlel ’ithile: Amantombazana, ngokwendalo, awazixabisi iingoma ezibalaseleyo okanye Idabi leenkwenkwezi -Kungoko bengenamtsalane kubalandeli abanjengam. Olo luhlobo lobuxoki endizixelele lona, ngaphambi kokuba ekugqibeleni ndivume ukuba iingxaki zam zisuka kwintloni zam. Abanye bobuxoki bunengxaki ngakumbi: Abasetyhini bonke bayinto engekhoyo-abanakubona ngaphaya kwe-acne yam okanye ubunzima bomzimba ukuba bayixabise indoda endiyiyo, ezantsi. Ukunyaniseka, ngekhe ndazixelela obu buxoki ixesha okanye amabini, xa ndandikwishumi elivisayo osisiyatha, ekufuneka kuqatshelwe, engazange alandele ukutyeba kakhulu okanye amantombazana amdaka ngokwakhe. Ukusuka apho, ubuxoki buba mandundu ngakumbi: Abasetyhini bakhohlakele-banomdla kuphela kwi-jock assholes, kwaye bayakonwabela ukuphatha gadalala nawuphi na omnye umfana ovuthuza kwi-orbit yabo.
Andifuni ukuziphulula emqolo apha, kodwa andizange ndizixelele obo buxoki bokugqibela. Kodwa ndiyazi uninzi lwabafana abaye benza, kwaye ngubani osenokuba usenza njalo. Aba ngabafana abakholelwa ukuba abafana abalungileyo bagqiba okokugqibela kwaye bakhalaze malunga nokuba umiselwe ngumhlobo ngabafazi ebomini babo. Aba bantu bakholelwa ngokwenyani ukuba banetyala ngabasetyhini-isini, ewe, kodwa kunye nokuzinikela kunye nothando olugqwethekileyo lothando. Aba bantu banesithukuthezi kwaye banxunguphele, kwaye, endaweni yokuba bazihlolisise ukuze bafumane ukuba kutheni le nto, bagqibe kwelokuba ingxaki ngabantu basetyhini.
Siyibonile le psychology in UElliot Rodger , Umbulali oneminyaka engama-22 ubudala ochaze izizathu zakhe kwividiyo ethunyelwe kuye Youtube : Kule minyaka isibhozo idlulileyo yobomi bam, okoko ndafikisayo, kuye kwanyanzeleka ukuba ndinyamezele ubulolo, ukwaliwa kunye neminqweno engazalisekanga konke ngenxa yokuba amantombazana engazange atsalwe kum. Amantombazana anike uthando lwawo, kunye nokwabelana ngesondo kunye nothando kwamanye amadoda kodwa akaze kum. Sibona oko kuthiwa Ukuthatha abahlali baseGcisa, phi Abafana abanxibe ngokuhlekisayo abathi ngamanye amaxesha babonakale benganyanisekanga ngokwasemphefumlweni abafundisa abafana-abangaxakekanga kwiindlela ezilungileyo zokukhohlisa owasetyhini ukuba bacinge ukuba banomdla. Kwaye ngakumbi nangakumbi, siyasibona esi simo sengqondo kwinkcubeko ye-geek, phakathi kwabathandi beencwadi ezihlekisayo, abadlali bevidiyo kunye nabanye abathi, ngokwembali, bachongwa njengama-nerds.
Kuninzi esele kubhaliwe malunga Iglasi -Umkhankaso okwi-Intanethi wokuthoba isidima kunye nokuthulisa abantu ababhinqileyo kwimveliso yevidiyo. Le nto yaqala xa umphuhlisi womdlalo wevidiyo Zoe Quinn ’s Isoka langaphambili latyhola ukuba uQuinn wayenebudlelwane obunothando nentatheli yomdlalo wevidiyo eyakhokelela ekufumaneni umdlalo wakhe Ukufuna uxinzelelo . Eli bango lakhawuleza labonakaliswa ukuba linobuqhophololo, kodwa oko akuzange kumise iqela labalandeli bevidiyo abadidekileyo ukuba bamhlasele kuTwitter-ukuveza ulwazi lomntu kunye nokusongela udlwengulo. Abaxhasi beGamergate baya kukuxelela ukuba intshukumo ayisiyonyani, kodwa inyani malunga imigaqo yokuziphatha kwi-journalism. Ezi mabango ziyaphikiswa yinto yokuba amalungu entlangano emva koko ajolise nakwimithombo yeendaba yabasetyhini UAnita Sarkeesian kunye nomphuhlisi womdlalo UBrianna Wu , Bobabini abasetyhini, kwaye akukho madoda asebenzayo kwinkcubeko yokudlala (hayi nkqu UNathan Grayson , intatheli ityhola ukuba inike uQuinn ingxelo entle ngenxa yolwalamano lwabo, bafumana uhlobo lonyango abafunyenwe ngaba bafazi). Amabango nawo aqinisekisiwe, ewe, sisongelo sokudlwengulwa.
Njengentshukumo, iGamergate ibonakala ngathi iyafa. Kwiiveki nje ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo, yayiqhelekile into yokubona abantu bekhusela umbutho, kodwa okwangoku phantse wonke umntu uyavuma ukuba impikiswano yayincinci malunga nokuziphatha kwi-journalism nangakumbi malunga nokuba amantombazana angavunyelwa na ukuba abe kwindawo yokugcina izinto. Kodwa nokuba abantu bayayeka ukusebenzisa iGamergate njenge-hashtag, kubalulekile ukuba thina-kwaye xa ndisithi, ndithetha nabanye abantu apha-sikhumbule intiyo ekhoyo phakathi kwethu.
Ngeendlela ezininzi, ishishini leencwadi ezihlekisayo lenza umsebenzi olungileyo wokuzithengisa kwabafazi nakumantombazana. Kubonakala kum ukuba baninzi abadali ababhinqileyo abasebenza kwizihloko eziphambili ezivela kubapapashi abaphambili kunangaphambili. Eda ucacise kutheni oku kuyimpazamo ifumana unyango olukhulu lwesikrini, njengoko injalo UCaptain Marvel (owasetyhini ovela kwiMarvel Comics, hayi umntwana ojika abe ligorha xa esithi uShazam-nangona, ewe, naye ufumana imovie). Kutshanje siye sabona Iqela le-X-Men elibandakanya bonke abalinganiswa ababhinqileyo . Kukho i umfazi omtsha ophethe isando sikaThor kwaye usebenza njengothixokazi weendudumo. Kubonakala ngathi sivela kude ukusuka kwimihla apho uMfazi oMangalisayo wayehlala khona unobhala woMbutho Wezobulungisa waseMelika , okanye kwiminyaka engamashumi amabini eyadlulayo, xa umbhali wencwadi ehlekisayo UGail Simone wenze iwebhusayithi yakhe Abafazi kwiifriji, Ebalaselisa uhlaselo kunye nokufa kwabalinganiswa ababhinqileyo ababesebenza njengamacebo okukhuthaza amaqhawe angamadoda.
Sisenomsebenzi ekufuneka siwenzile, nangona kunjalo, njengombhali kunye nomgxeki wezenkcubeko UJanelle Asselin ngekhe ndikuxelele.
Ku-Epreli ophelileyo, uAsselin ubhale uhlalutyo lweqweqwe elizayo Iimpawu zentsha # 1 ye Izixhobo zeComic Book . Isigqubuthelo, esitsalwe ngumzobi uKenneth Rocafort, sibonisa umlinganiswa oMangalisayo wentombazana ngaphambili-kunye neziko, ukhetho olunokuqhwatyelwa izandla ukuba bekungekho le nto yokuba le ntombazana ikwishumi elivisayo itsalwa ngamabali amakhulu ahlekisayo, angenangqiqo. Ngokukrakra, sithetha kakhulu kunentloko yakhe, izinto zokufakelwa ezilinganayo zikaPamela Anderson. Kuyahlekisa, ayisiyonto nawuphi na umzali anokuthengela umntwana wakhe, kwaye uAsselin wathetha lukhulu kuphononongo lwakhe.
Andiqondi ukuba kukho umntu oza kundibamba ku-Twitter malunga nesi sincoko, kodwa u-Asselin wakhawuleza wakhukhumala ngamazwana amabi, ahlaselayo kwizimvo zakhe malunga nokuchaswa okumangalisayo ngokwesondo komntwana ovela kulonwabo lwabantwana. Okugqwesileyo kwezi zindululo kucetyisiwe ukuba ebengakulungelanga ukugqabaza kweli qweqwe (ngaphandle kokuba enesidanga semasters sokushicilela kwaye uneminyaka yamava okuhlela). Abanye basebenzise igama lobufazi njengokujongela phantsi, becebisa ukuba utyhala i-ajenda yabasetyhini. Abanye basebenzise ubuyatha beLimbaughism feminazi ukumhlasela.
Kwaye, ewe, izoyikiso zokudlwengulwa zaqala, zamkhokelela ekugqibeleni wabhala Kwisincoko esapapashwa ngo xojane , Wonke umntu obhinqileyo endimaziyo onalo naluphi na uhlobo lokulandela kwi-intanethi uyahlukunyezwa, kwaye uninzi lwabo lufumana izoyikiso zokudlwengulwa. Ibe yinxalenye yokwenza ishishini ukuba ubhala kwi-Intanethi kwaphela.
Ngokwenene ndiziva ngathi ndinayo nayiphi na ikhowudi yokuziphatha endinokuba nayo ngenxa yeencwadi ezihlekisayo endizifundileyo njengomntwana kunokuba kunjalo kwiminyaka yenkwenkwana yesibingelelo okanye iCub Scout. Ndicinga ukuba abanye abalandeli be-comic baya kuthi into efanayo. Le yinxalenye yesizathu sokuba ndizibone zoyikisile ezi zongezo zokudlwengulwa. Ndifumana ukuba abantu bayazithanda iingoma zabo eziphezulu kwaye abathandi ukuzibona zigxekwa, kwaye ndifumana ukuba oku kugxekwa kunokuziva kungumntu omncinci-Ukuba le nto ikwabelana ngesondo, ngaba ayilandeli ukuba ndingumntu ongathandani naye ngokungayithandi? Kodwa ukusongela ukuhlaselwa ngokwesondo akubonakali ngathi luhlobo lwento iGreen Lantern okanye Mnu.
Ndicinga ukuba kuya kuba kuhle kuthi thina banandipha inkcubeko ethandwayo ukuba samkele ukuba, ngamanye amaxesha, inkcubeko ethandwayo inokuba neziphene. Indlu yezilwanyana ngumboniso bhanyabhanya ohlekisayo, kodwa amaqhawe omfo othandekayo ayinto ecekisekayo, ngakumbi kwiindlela abaphatha ngazo abantu basetyhini . UVan Halen wayeyibhanti enkulu kwakudala, kodwa ividiyo eshushu yoTitshala isasebenza ngokwesini. Kwaye iincwadi ezihlekisayo ze-superhero-kudala zenziwe ngabafana-azikho, ngokwembali, ezibonisa abantu basetyhini ngokukodwa. Ngokwenene akukho sizathu sokuba uMfazi oMangalisayo alwe nolwaphulo-mthetho kwisuti yokuhlamba, okanye i-Spider-Woman to thaca iesile lakhe kwiintshaba zayo. Olu khetho-lwenzelwe ukubona kwendoda-alunakwenzeka kwaphela, kwaye kufuneka lulungiswe.
Ndiyaqonda ukuba i-nerd's young nerd's awkwardness around women. Ndiye ndafumana ixhala elifanayo eliye laphenduka umsindo kwabanye. Ngethamsanqa, ndaya ekholejini ndaza ndathandana nabantu ababesetyhini ababendixhaphaza ngokulahlekisa abantu abaninzi abangabafazi. Ndiyayibulela lonto.
Ngoku ukuba uninzi lwabasetyhini luyazibandakanya kwimidlalo yamahlaya, imidlalo yevidiyo, kunye nezinye iindlela zenkcubeko ye-geek, ndicinga ukuba abantu abaninzi banokuzuza ngokuva izimvo zabo, kanye njengoko ndincedakeleyo kubuhlobo endabenzayo kwikholeji. Ndiyazi ukuba utshintsho luyothusa, ukuba ukuphinda uqwalasele iinkolelo zomntu kunokuba nzima kakhulu. Kodwa kufanelekile ukuzama. Abahlobo bam abesilisa, akukho sizathu sokuziva sisongelwa ngabafazi kunye namantombazana afuna ukungena kwiklabhu. Abekho apha ukuzokuhlekisa okanye ukukwenzakalisa. Balapha kuba Ababuyisi Sixhiba kwaye Ilizwe lokwenziwe ngemfazwe ziyamangalisa. Ke masiphelise wonke lo mnqweno wokuziphindezela xa owasetyhini evakalisa izimvo zakhe ngezi zinto sizithandayo sonke, endaweni yoko sizama ukumamela . Yinto uSuperman anokuyenza, emva kwayo yonke loo nto.
Umsebenzi kaWilliam Bradley uvele kwi-Utne Reader, kwiSikolo esiQhelekileyo, eBrevity, eMissouri Review, kwiNyaniso-ngaphandle nakwezinye iiwebhusayithi kunye neemagazini. Incwadi yakhe ethi Fractals-ingqokelela yezincoko ezinxulumene nothando, ukugula, kunye nexesha lokuphila kwenkcubeko ye-dorky pop - ivela eLavender Ink.
