Naked Tech Support launched as Nerds Are Sexy: From YKTTW
(Not original YKTTW).
Silent Hunter: Eli, again I'm pulling your "Sam Carter looks like Hilary Clinton quote". The fandom will disagree with you strongly.
Pulled quote:
- She looks like Hillary Clinton! Every SG 1 fan claiming Carter is hot is suffering from this trope!
I slightly reworded the Myth Busters example, and removed the comment below that which apparently misunderstood the meaning of the word notwithstanding:
- The Myth Busters. Kari notwithstanding.
- Kari is still a nerd. And damn sexy. So she still counts.
- Hell, Kari Byron should be the picture for this trope.
Silent Hunter: I think we need to separate "sexy nerd" from "nerd who gets all the attention".
