Some roundabout way of calling you autistic. The show is literal garbage though I tried watching it a few times but it’s just akward autistic social interaction with plenty of cringe the tv show. Real life autistic people I know are split between hating it for feeling like they are being made fun of to loving it to the point of memorizing every line word for word and being unable to stop themselves from reciting the lines in time with the episode on the screen which honestly scares the hell out of me.
So, let me unpack what happened, from my point of view. I’m not complaining or anything, just pointing out how it seemed from my end.
I made a comment that I personally didn’t like the show because of how many times people around kept saying I was like the main character.
You replied directly to me implying that nerds should like the show because it normalizes dating them. (Which I agree is a good thing.)
I replied to say that doesn’t apply to me, and I’m not sure why it was relevant to my comment.
Finally, you left a comment to call me names.
Do you see how that entire interaction makes no sense from my side of things? I said that I didn’t like a show, and you inserted yourself into the conversation to complain that hot women should want to date me because of the show. Then, when I said that had nothing to do with what I was saying, you insulted me.
implying hot women can’t also be nerds and that nerdy men can’t be hot
also implying that a generic sitcom is, in any way, responsible for the way society treats nerds and not the invention of the fact that our modern world is largely nerd creations, resulting in a lot of wealthy nerds
They use the 4 male leads to make fun of nerdy, generally neurodivergent coded people. One of the leads is an unrepentant asshole and the show seems to argue that he must be an asshole because he’s autistic, though they never explicitly state that.
If you happen to be neurodivergent, and grew up being harassed for expressing some of the same traits represented by those characters, the show leaves an all too familiar, very bitter taste. All the while acknowledging that those characters grew up in exactly the same circumstances the show seeks to recreate for laughs.
If you’re a neurodivergent person, the show is saying to you that “you have trouble fitting in in the society you live in, that we’ve created, and that’s funny to us.”
I am a simple man: I see BBT, I downvote.
“It’s so funny! Sheldon reminds me of you!”
Yeah, never watched it, but heard this enough to hate the show with a passion.

It’s a show that normalized hot women dating nerds.
Nerds hate this for some reason.
…I don’t want to date women, so I know know how that’s relevant.
Sorry, I didn’t realize that you were a psychopath that only cares about your own interests.

So, like, why?
It’s a show that makes nerds the punchline constantly, and the fact they constantly get references wrong shows the creators are everything but nerds.
When people think I should love this show, they are telling on themselves. The same is true whenever it’s recommended to anyone.
Any reason why ? Else than it being a sitecom (which is my number one reason why I never watched it)
I never stumbled upon someone who’s hating the show, kinda curious on the arguments
I’m not op but I hated that fucking show.

I’m the op and I didn’t even know the show existed
It’s a meme template ffs what are yall arguing about?
Big bang theory was an American sitcom for 9 seasons.
The guy in the center of the image you posted is one of the main characters from the show.
Generally boils down to misogyny and racism. https://www.newstatesman.com/culture/tv/2018/08/big-bang-theory-plague-society-we-should-rejoice-its-overdue-end
