I thought that it would be interesting to get the views and opinions from 'geeks', about what they think of the portrayal within The Big Bang Theory and see how true the stereotypes are.
Until reading this I didn't know that there was much of a difference between 'nerds' and 'geeks'.
"The reason is largely that they don't understand those three sub groupings. Geeks that are not nerds feel like the characters' lack of social skills is too exaggerated and used to make fun of them (geeks) and don't get many of the science jokes. Nerds that are not geeks don't understand the emphasis on the subcultures and feel like they are used to make fun of them (nerds)."
There is an interesting mix of opinions of the characters and show in general. Though a lot of people do say that they depict upon the truth and can relate.
