Can't stop making bad decisions.

Nerd culture becoming the cultural zeitgeist for the past, like, 15 years has become exhausting because it's not just about the breadth of superhero, sci-fi, and fantasy that top the box offices that's the problem, it's the weird tribalism that's been adopted by society at all.
You can't just like or dislike a Marvel movie anymore, it has to be a whole thing. It your whole personality that you've seen 30 movies of varying quality and you have to defend that point against whatever stranger that moves into your field of vision.

You can't just like SOMETHING for the sake that it makes you happy to watch it; that you enjoy it. It's just more fuel to the world's stupidest culture war. It becomes a job to watch all the stuff so you can take part in whatever pop culture discussion that turns into a tidal wave of static on your social media app of your choice.

It's exhausting.
