Nerdfighteria is not a Utopia. →
This post is to address those people who feel they have ‘lost faith’ or ‘no longer feels safe’ within the Nerdfighter community.
Nerdfighteria is a great, AWESOMETASIC community founded upon amazing likeminded people. And the actions of one person does not change that fact. But on that same note, that doesn’t mean we should put each other on a pedestal. We need to realize that just because someone calls themselves a Nerdfighter or is heavily involved in the community that they are not fallible. The Nerdfighter community is large. Its associations are larger still. As much as we would like to believe that Nerdfighteria is a Utopia; it is not. This situation involving Mike proves that. Even so, that is no reason to suddenly become ‘hopeless’ nor should it ‘shake your view’ of this community. The negative actions of one does not, and will not define us as a whole.
I just wanted to share this with a larger audience.
I would also like to know everyone else’s take on this. I will be temporarily enabling anonymous questions in my ask let’s have a civil discussion about this.
