a while back a girl i was talking to (ended up dating later on) listened to me sumarize all of jojo's bizzarre adventure parts 1-7, she wasn't a nerd either, she didn't watch anime hated, video games but she was still really into me. Despite that i still went on to be ashamed of playing video games and watching anime to the point that i'd act like i didn't know what they were because my friends said it'd "scare away the hoes"

its true

Its not being a nerd or no if youre ugly youll be the lame nerd if youre fine youre the nerd black women like😂

First of all you get 2 men when a black man is a nerd 😭 I love it!

the majority of yall are GEEKS and not NERDS

"They're all talented" Yeah, you lost me there bud.

got tis recommended 2 months after- as a black girl, its cool to see smaller channels like you discussing divisive topics in such an elaborate way. your video style is cool too? I hope you will grow soon.

8:29 Hey ill also like to add that majority of the time when it came down to "picking" your character it was also very limited in skin tone. (Relating & connecting)

The animation is so cute! As a black girl nerd, being a nerd is not unappealing at all, being a hateful jerk is lmao. I get so excited to talk to other nerds about our shared interests but bc im a girl they start to shit test me etc. its so unnappealing I love my irl blerd friends though ❤ it warms the heart twice to meet someone who gets you on such a deep level

I don't know if this is on topic but i just wanted to say something. In secondary school/high school, I had an interest in anime (which I've had for a much longer time but not knowing what it was called). As I became more attractive in secondary school, more people began to take an interest in me. I often shared my interest in anime which got me laughed at most of the time by people who don't watch it and approached me. I now made a "friend" who was also interested in anime. He did some weird stuff though😂 (but I didn't really complain because that was what he liked and was interested in). After a while, he started acting weird but I found out later on that he "liked" me (which i brushed off because i knew nothing about romance and wasn't interested). Then it hit me some time later that this person did not really like me for me but for the imagination of me he had in his head. Whenever we were discussing on an anime topic, he shared his POV on some stuff and i listened. But when it was my time to share my POV, it got ruled out as stupid or not valid. He talked to me extensively about so many anime waifus that he was "down bad" for or found attractive which i listened and laughed along but doesn't pay attention whenever i talk about a male character or tells me to change my profile pic if i put a male character. He talked down on his other friend to make himself look good, he was acting so weird as if he'd won a price whenever i say hi to him amidst a group of people I don't know (I can't greet people i don't know cuz i was socially awkward). There were more but it didn't take long for me to realize that the "like" that he "likes" me is the person that he thinks i am in his head without individually trying to get to know me. He was just interested in the fact that i also liked anime and was pretty and nothing else. There were some other things he did which i was uncomfortable with but i couldn't really speak up because i didn't have enough confidence in myself at the time. I still get mad thinking about those times because I really thought i made a friend who i shared interests with and could speak about some things on different perspectives but it wasn't that. Looking back, i was just convenient for him and his ego because i was kinda close with him (I didn't really know how to make many friends because I'm kind of socially awkward😂). And it's not like he wasn't good looking at all. I just felt bad that someone was just using me for an ego boost rather than getting to know me (at least how i saw it). Moving on to university, I'm less socially awkward and talked with some people. Most of the time, they aren't interested in what i like or respect it. I even got called weird a couple of times because i didn't conform to the image of me i had in their head. And the funny thing is that they still try to get me close to me after making fun of me in many ways and seeing we have nothing in common. I feel insulted by this because it's like I'm not being seen as a person but as a decoration to show off to people. And that was where it hit me that not everyone that wants to get close to you, has innocent intentions. Though there are some people that i had good times with. So what i have to say is that it doesn't matter if you are a nerd or not, attractive or not, or whatsoever. There will be people that won't accept you for who you are and expect you to conform to the image of you they have in their head. And there are people who won't want to associate or accept you because you are not what they want even if you share many things in common. It's not about being a nerd or not. Some of those so called "nerds" still end up treating some people badly even if you share interests with them. So no pointing fingers at women or men when we are both equally the problem. Rather than looking at everything through the lens of gender differences, look it it through the lens of people being people regardless of gender. Not everyone has good intentions for you as you may also have for them. Make sure to not allow anyone to disrespect you and if they do and still want to get close to you, have it in the back of your mind that they won't be a solid part of your life. And also, don't change yourself for anyone (except if you are a horrible person, you need to change but for self improvement. Definitely😂)

I don't know if Im a nerd or not, but I grew up in the south. COuldn't hang out with blacks. They were pretty much all the same. Thuggish gettho trailer trash. Their were some nerdy blacks, just not into anime, comics of the such. So I just hung out with the white kids, no judging or hazing. Just having fun talking about games and other shit of that type. I moved to vegas though, but I just gave up trying to socialize.

" Mismanaged insecurities from rejection" you did an excellent job making this video

Ahem. Meagan thee stallion. Otaku Hot Girl. That is all. But like, still get the swag up bois. Donald Glover, Juice Wrld, Uzi, hell even Big Cochise (criminally underrated btw) and ppl like RDaf world and retrospectro/nilesyniles did all the hard work for yall. Im 32. I was 12, 20 years ago and it was way harder. I been loving the black nerd rennisaunce.

I don’t understand why we continue to use encompassing statements like “Black Women don’t like nerds” as if that’s all Black women. Now I wouldn’t go as far to say that everything is this video is right , but for the most part, Pillboy got it right. Black women nerds got the same treatment as Black men nerds. The problem is the black nerd community as a whole has a tendency to point the finger at each other when they both go after people outside our group, that clearly aren’t attracted to them or aren’t mature enough to understand anime is hobby not a personality. So when they get rejected both put that on black men or black women in general for not liking them, which in turn results in these 2 groups constantly complaining about each other. When in reality they both tried to get someone out of their range, so now they blame the group as a whole and big up other races in the ac as better because they didn’t learn from rejection properly and understood that they should date amongst themselves if they want the results they’re looking for.

2 ppl at the beginning of the video

i aint never met a black girl who is into anime" just say you never been to an anime convetion there is always so many cosplayers so many women of colour who eat down

beat it chick!

I'd say the intention for this video is reasonable, but the approach is misguided.

“when Tory Lanez …” your bias was revealed too

Utter Woke Bullshit. This is the type of guy who would expect black men to show *empathy* and *understanding* when black females talk about "colorism" or "misogyny" 😂

Luckily I don't have this problem. Women of every race don't like me. Much simpler.

i'm not gonna lie man i was a straight up nerd when i was about 8-12 years old then i started getting bullied in middleschool then i hit puberty in highschool and got all muscly and dropped all my nerd shit fast foward to today now i'm a 2x muai thai kickboxing champion that knows the locations of all of his childhood bullies........but i got a hot nerdy girlfriend

This is all well and good, but stereotypes don't come out of thin air. There's truth to all of them, and this is no exception. Blk nerds have a SIGNIFICANTLY harder time with blk wmn, because they simply aren't into nerdy types. Nothing wrong with acknowledging the truth. It is what it is.

Girls liked the nerds but didn’t want to date them & guys liked the nerd girls but didn’t want anything to do with them simple as that in high school everyone wanted to be with the hot girl & the hot guy, we were victims of our own ignorance simple as that I’m pretty sure every nerdy nigga had that one nerdy anime girl that was into anime that they liked hanging out with or spend time with but wouldn’t date simply because they weren’t hot enough or they fat or whatever surface level thing & bet for the girls it was pretty much the same

First thing first, there is no such thing as a black community black people seek to destroy each other if they from the streets or nerds or anything in between because people that are so cool are quick to attack each other as well. We have to face the facts, the black race is finished

I’m honestly appalled seeing comments still asserting that Black female nerds are “rare” and folks continuously spreading ire against Black women for *checks notes* being … rejected? Bullying, I understand. Ostracization, I get. But you asking a girl out and her saying “No” is a total non-issue. It’s also funny to watch the same folks complaining about not being seen as “Black enough” growing up trying to decide what is or isn’t “nerdy enough.” Women have been in fandom spaces forever. Come on, y’all.

The Boondocks has already been made reality. Who needs a Boondocks episode when you have rickey smiley and steve harvey trying to make you vote just because its a black woman. Aaron mcgruder made his point and he was right about black culture.

I feel like I was a black nerd as a child but as I grew up I kinda… just started doing other stuff… I literally used to like mortal combat and watched samurai Jack… but now I literally just do what I like… I feel like if you like a specific thing people give you slack for it

as a black women who’s almost 30 years old, the problem i have with nerdy men in general is a lot of them seem to think we just started existing like 3 years ago 😂 and as a connoisseur of more feminine nerdy media and hobbies, that does get constantly invalidated by men. the disappointed look on their faces when i say i’m into madoka magica, k-on, and sailor moon over series like naruto or one piece is very telling lmao.

The fact that they’re a lot of people saying that this video “invalided or gaslight” their experience is literally proven they didn’t actually listening to what you’re saying

I don't think this applies as to everybody as a whole, but one of the biggest reasons why it's difficult to market non-white media to a white audience, especially the terminally online, is because a lot of white peoole do not like being confronted with anything that doesn't conform to their narrow-minded view of both how things are and how things should be. It's why we've been hearing a bunch of bullshit about AA, CRT, and DEI for the past few years; they can't fathom that you can be a minority and have something worthwhile to say and/or they can't fathom the idea that the systems in place that necessitate these kind of programs give white people an advantage and non-white people a disadvantage. But this is preaching to the choir. On another note, I gotta know the tracks you used for this video. That music was great.

Hope Jamil doing good. Man had the best content in that realm.

We talk about misogynoir, but we don't talk about anti-black missandry.

I am a black nerd, but I was a massive loser when I was younger. The jdea that black women don’t like nerds, especially when there are black women needs is hilariously wrong at best, egregiously misogynistic at worst. I had to realize my personality and the way I carried myself was fundamentally off putting. This was such a dope video, incredible analysis of the core issues and I hope a lot of struggling black nerds who are men watch this. It’s truly significant.

That nerd to sportshead pipeline was too real growing up.

As a teen i was always a bit if a weirdo, not "nerd" just a bit of a freak due to trauma and AuDHD, so i never really knew how to interact with people until my 20s when i started forcing myself into social situations to learn how to be normal. I also grew up in a self-hating household, black mom didnt like that she was black and tried to distance herself from everything that made her who she was, white dad was just a general racist and misogynist, so i always distanced myself from black people, especially black women. All that to say i was NOT a catch, especially for a black woman, dweebish awkward loser, but heres the thing: black women are cool as fuck. They'd still flirt with me, they'd still reach out to me, they'd still match on dating apps or go out of their way to make it clear that they liked me. After i worked on myself and realized my own internal biases i realized what was happening and ended up marrying a beautiful black woman. So yeah, if I have a chance, a skinny larping cosplaying dnd playing anime watching musical theater of a dweeb, then every single other black nerd also has an equal chance. Just learn the skills you need to be able to have a conversation and confront yourself when youre being shitty, and youll have a much better time.

When I first watched this show, I didn't get pissed. I laughed my ass off, and I'm a white kid watching a show for black folks. That's how good it is, cause I got the jokes.

dont forget u gotta be attractive tho otherwise they wont look ya way

5:47 That "feel" stuck out like a sore thumb to me. Like I can already detect the route the videos gonna go in before we even get in the nitty gritty of it. Reveals his bias WAAY early. He's not here prove that women, much less black women like nerdy dudes inherently for being nerdy, like the title/thumbnail suggests. That's a fools errand. He's here to call the nerdy men with basic pattern recognition unhealed misogynists for having eyes and basic comprehension all while centering black woman as the true victims. Corny, feminist brainwashed, simpery. Because we don't have enough of that already.

I’m sorry man but I’ve been with black women who “like nerds” just to leave you for being nerdy for someone who is the opposite, as much as I understand and you made an amazing video with amazing points but experiences are experiences Yk, even so, this video opened my eyes thank you

50:40 Because it is an attack on your character, it's literally her saying "I don't see what you can bring me so you don't have value" this is specially bad for a man.

Im sure I’ll take some heat from this as I know this was touched on in the video to extent. As a male blerd, a lot of resent comes from a large and rightfully perception of not fully being heard or corrective action being taken. What I mean is whenever we talk about our experiences of being undervalued, overlooked, rejected, ostracized, etc. the counter stories of black female blerds typically take precedent as now we have to unpack mysogynoir, colorism, sexism, etc. Next thing you know, we the male blerd isn’t even focused on anymore outside of “get over it” “it’s your fault” “you just wanted to mean pretty popular girl anyways” etc. Flattop Chicken also had an excellent point in his video: it’s not that female blerds didn’t like male blerds. It’s just that it was primarily the conventionally attractive men who happen to be blerds they really wanted.

this so good for the internet but in REAL LIFE lol nah no videos or comments cant take away from that....

Don't worry nerds! I'll be our hero! I'm married with 2 kids. Love anime. There's hope for us 😂

Started of thinking this video may be onto something. Ended up being the same thing your types say all the time. Step 1 tell black nerds they got bullied to lower there guard. Step 2 tell black nerds you are being misogynistic for pointing out black women don't want them. Step 3 expand the definition of nerd so everyone fits making it mean nothing. "W- well lebron james is a basketball nerd and he gets women it has to be you!". Yeah I guess if you expand the definition to mean all black men then black women like nerds. But everyone knows what kind of guy we are talking about when we say they are a nerd and no that kind of man gets far less play. Nothing to do with them stinking or being mean its due to being a nerd and being a black nerd makes it double worse.

I'm a black guy who's always been interested in "nerdy stuff and have always liked nerdy black girls, yet so often they complain no one wants them. But I'll be over here like "i'm attracted to you tho", but they really don't care and actually ust want the asian and white guys. Every time. Last girl I tried to genuinely talk to and was attracted to was obsessed with Eren Yeager from Attack on Titan and even made a post online about wanting to make a love potion to give to someone who looks like him. I've come across black girls in board game and anime meetup groups IRL who don't take interest in the black guys and pay more attention to the other races instead. It's honestly just depressing because it feels like so many black women go around dogging out men of their own race yet display much of the hypocrisy that they claim is rampant. I understand some have had bad experiences, so I have I. I grew up being constantly bullied and dehumanized by black girls(and guys) but I don't shame anyone and I'm not the one out here rejecting black women, nerdy or not. Black women do NOT want nerdy black men...unless of course, like a comment here said, they are "fine"/good looking. Just be attractive bro lol.

I just want to see his black nerd wife or girl. Not discrediting the vid just show proof. I dont really date black but im just a wondering spirit who want to see it

I had to check out of a similar conversation on TikTok about the experience of feeling ostracized by our community and I rarely if ever hear us touch on our unconscious adherence to certain signifiers of blackness that were baked into our subconscious’s through white supremacy’s filter in which often shows itself these types discussions.

Comment section feels like a psyop what is the point in needlessly lying lmfao this is like saying black mens favorite hobby is reading books... the numbers don't lie if you had to rank which groups of women liked nerds the least in America black women come in first place. Not to even mention the fact the threshold for black people seeing you as a nerd is very low compared to what a nerd actually is.

Great video man. I love all the historical context and background given. love the nuanced analysis of both blaxploitation and tubi films and how things could be improved upon. This is the type of film analysis I live for!
