Nerd Culture Infographic Series

Nerd culture is a widely popular mainstream subculture. It has many sub-sects and communities that branch out, creating a twisted, 8-bit root system. However, the roots in this tree are knotted and rotted in some areas. And this rotting has poisoned the morals of some of these larger sub-sects and communities. Especially in the world of gender politics.

Most botanists would remove these roots and study them in order to try and cure the rest of the trees that are effected. And my dissection comes in the form of infographics.

In this short series, I will be looking at two prevalent sub-communities in contemporary Nerd Culture:

• Video Game Culture

• Cosplay Culture

Through these infographics, I will be exploring:

• How gender plays into these communities

• What problems face the community and the industry

• How it has changed in the past years

• Etc

This dissection will get messy. But what's research without a little mess in the name of all things nerdy?
