      You look at (non character creator) games with dude protagonists, and to a one, they're fit paragons of masculinity Doomguy? Definitely doesn't waste his time on Souls games, he's at the gym Master Chief? Doesn't need to go to the gym bc genetic engineering, but also not a nerd

      Gordon Freeman is this character, but it makes so little sense it's basically a joke

      Like before they really got into the worldbuilding it really was about how silly an FPS with a nerd self insert would be In the earliest builds the alien invasion happens while he's at his desk in his office and his initial melee weapon is a coffee cup

      Like I mentioned earlier too, Stranger Things is this ode to toxic male Ghostbusters fans from the 80s and yet they couldn't prevent the assholes 80s jock trope from just being objectively a better person than the rest of the cast and becoming The Hero by audience demand

      I noticed this phenomenon IRL as a bullying victim in high school. Other nerds got in on bullying me. The bullies were largely part of a nerd adjacent clique. The people who stood up for me? A linebacker and a cheerleader. Nerds suck. We always have

      Oh yeah the Nerds vs Jocks thing is wildly oversimplified, like it can happen but it's far from the only possible dynamic Actual popular kids often walk around with this sense of noblesse oblige (which can be transparently condescending but still)

      And no one is more spiteful to the people on the bottom of the ladder than the people desperately clinging to the second-to-last rung Someone tries to grab your ankle to pull themselves up, you kick down hard

      That's not a rule either, everyone is different and makes different moral choices But if you've ever worked a crappy job you've known someone who was extra spiteful about homeless people and "welfare queens" because they hated their own job

      I've talked about playing Moritz in Spring Awakening in college right As an acting exercise our teacher/director had all the boys in the ensemble play a game of kickball There were six of us, and each of us had a number on our back showing our social rank

      And she'd run around behind us switching the numbers on occasion to reflect shifts in our dynamic based on our actions Only the guy who played Melchior was permanently #1 and I as Moritz was permanently #6

      So the most surefire way to gain status was for someone to suck up to Melchior or push Moritz around The problem being Melchior and Moritz themselves are best friends (because Melchior seems himself as outside and above the system)

          I have to say, even as someone long removed from PE kickball games, the experience was pretty retraumatizing

          Ugh yeah :/ I got lucky in PE, because specifically of the noblesse oblige jocks you allude to... There was always some Good at Sports person who made sure I was on their team or whatever
