COL706: Nerd Culture: Then vs Now

In this episode of Cubs Out Loud, the guys get down and nerdy. Remember the 80s film franchise ‘Revenge of the Nerds’? Back then, ‘nerd’ was used as a bullying term. Fast forward four decades later and nerd culture has become a thing. Listen in as the cubs discuss nerdom as a whole entertainment industry. But, is the current interest in all things nerdy an actual shift in overall perspective and acceptance, or have things moved into an inevitable cash grab as the nerds of the 80s are now adults with disposable income?

Nerd Culture: Then vs Now

Those that lived in the 70s & 80s remember the film franchise ‘Revenge of the Nerds’. Back then ‘nerd’ was used as a slur. Fast forward to four decades later and nerd culture has become a thing, a whole entertainment industry if you will. But is the current interest in all things nerdy an actual shift in overall perspective and acceptance? Or have things moved into an inevitable cash grab as the nerds of the 80s are now adults with disposable income?

Submission from BuilTABear:

Hey Guys! I am listening to your podcast COL514: Trans Bear Listener. 

First — GOOD JOB! Thank you for bringing up the topic of trans guys! Please note — not all trans guys are the same or have the same needs, critiques or sensitivities. MANY (not all) guys who are earlier in the process (first 5 years) can be SUPER SENSITIVE about just about everything and often have NO idea they are being that way.  I know it’s not politically correct to say that – but it’s the painful truth. After a handful of years living life passing as a cis man we learn to understand the whole world is not out to make us all miserable or be disrespectful to us. ugh. Some guys can really be hard work. Just like any other community, there are some cool guys and some really ODD guys.  Mileage may vary :-0   

I thought I’d share some of my thoughts about what your email guest had to say: 

  • FEMALE genitalia = In my general experience I agree, we usually prefer words like birth born parts, genetic bits, front business, ANYTHING but being reminded about the emotionally painful word “female” when you are talking about a trans guy. Testosterone makes some pretty significant changes to it and it’s not “standard issue female parts” after a short while anyhow. 
  • JUNK = agree, just ask the guy what he wants his junk called (don’t offer options – just ask) 
  • Bottom Surgery = not being attracted to someone who has had bottom surgery. 

Again, those who HAVE HAD bottom surgery are often super sensitive about rejection (as might be expected!). There are some trans guys who have had bottom surgery realizing folks (including other trans guys) are NOT into them BECAUSE of the lower surgery choice. VERY ouchie. Very VERY ouchie (I’d imagine). That’s a lot of work mentally, surgery and money to go through to realize you just put yourself into a VERY narrow date scene.  I know of two trans men who committed suicide because of this topic. Saying I’d never have sex with a trans guy who has had bottom surgery is simply unnecessary and rude. It’s like saying “i’d never have sex with a guy with a small penis”  — you might think it in your mind and maybe have a general desire for guys 6” or more, but going around admitting you’re a size queen is not pretty. Hope this helps!

Kindly, BuilTABear

  • Re: COL562: What is. . . Pleasure? – TheNaishproductions. To some extent Cellphones are glorified portable dopamine dispensers. Not convinced people actually use them as a communication device or more for the narcissistic posting of Food, i’m here & you’re not and the ever impressive “Best Night Everrrrrr!!!” photos. 
  • Re: COL562: What is. . . Pleasure? – Oan R. – Was the self-harm road really the best way to go about talking about pain and pleasure? That was a bit triggering. Edit: I don’t know, maybe I was hearing that wrong. 
  • Re: COL562: What is. . . Pleasure? – Oan R. – About the mask thing: for autistics, sensory issues come into play. Although I haven’t had any issues myself, there are people who have had issues.

Facebook Comment/Post:

  • COL427: LTAK: Flogging – Ches Clark A pal said we look like a K-pop group. 

  • COL430: Labor Gays – Henry Mazade Sometimes a man in a suit will turn my head especially if his pants are real tight and you can see an outline of his goods. Working in home improvement I always enjoyed contractors who would come in with holes in their pants at the right spots or they come in commando showing the head of their cock. Always a good time for drooling. Great for fantasies
    • Tony Bossaller In general, the uniform is what it portrays in a guy. I’ve seen some blue collar and white collar which are both awesome.  Blue collar just tends to be a big snug. White collar can be made tailored to be even moreso.
    • Jeremiah Adams Blue collar.
    • Pugsley Michael Urness Oh yes. An average guy in a military uniform is much more likely to get my gaze..
  • COL431: OTR: Amusement Park – Cisco Salgado I will definitely watch later. Now, we are celebrating our wedding anniversary. Hugs for all the cubs.
    • Chester Beltowski We had some technical difficulties with the sound, but eventually it got ironed out. -chester
    • Cisco Salgado No wonder! I started watching but couldn’t hear anything and then we started brunching. I’m glad it got fixed
