Nerd culture is one of many different branches and sub-sects. And even within those sub-communities, there are divides between all different flavor of nerd that you could imagine. We put ourselves into tinier and tinier boxes that the labels on these boxes end up being longer than the boxes themselves.
Well, I say no more. It's time for nerd culture to unite. For us to cast aside those stupid labels we've put on ourselves in order to fit into our nice, neat categories and to come together as one big, awesome culture.
The #NerdsUnite campaign is a Twitter and YouTube campaign that is meant to create a stronger bond as a subculture of nerdy individuals. The hopeful outcome of the campaign is to break down the dividing walls between the sub-sects and their segregated populations.
#NerdsUnite applies to anyone in any community in nerd culture. You can be a gamer, a cosplayer, a comic book nerd, or just your run of the mill average nerd. Your race, gender identity, sexuality, etc doesn't matter.
The campaign will start on Twitter, but will eventually have a dual presence on YouTube. Videos concerning stories, tweets, or anything else concerning the campaign will be welcomed on the site. Hopefully, spreading like wildfire across the internet.
Give us a tweet using #NerdsUnite. Tell us why you're a nerd, what it means for you to be a nerd, or just give us a shout out! Let's come together and show the world that our final form is truly nerdtastic.
Hey Undercover,
ReplyDeleteI'm a little confused by this piece. You give a vague idea of the goals and style of #NerdsUnite, but I don't really feel like there's any concrete end goal or process. I would love to hear more about how the founders of #NerdsUnite would stoke the fire of the campaign to get it rolling, and how they would galvanize the folks that get involved. Better job with the punctuation here, however!
