Well I have started to realize that 'nerds/geeks' for want of a better word(s)
want to be outsiders.
The premise that we are positioned outside of the characters that we identify with Penny is perfectly valid in the BBT. The main characters represent a tiny tiny percentage of the population at the very cutting edge of knowledge. They are not geeks in the traditional sense, they are geniuses with a liking for things that geeks identify with.
It's tiring to listen to endless geeks going on endlessly about how this isn't right and that japanese cartoon from 1962 was the basis for blah blah and you need to read the real true origin of blah blah and how this isn't cannon and that isn't cannon...
wankers.
