Okay, but I kind of take offense at Loner and Geek being “nasty and unattractive” - just because I need regular me time and like board games and sci-fi doesn’t automatically make me a bully, which is what almost all the mischief interactions are. 😒
THIS; what exactly about "Geek" or "Loner" imply that one has to be unpleasant? I'm actually both IRL as well, and consider myself to be very against bullying and unprovoked meanness in general. Actually, part of the reason why I became even more of a loner than I originally was is because I myself had been bullied and teased a little too much while trying to be friends with people.
Loners being implied to be malicious is bad enough, but I especially dislike that Geek has to be one of "those" traits too. Geeks are just really enthusiastic about their interests, which just so happen to be "nerdy" ones. I blame the negative gamer stereotypes, honestly: being super immature, having emotional control issues, lacking in empathy, etc. AKA the reason why I refuse to call myself a "gamer" despite video games being a lifelong passion of mine. Geek Sims love video games too, so they are considered "gamers" and get slapped with all the bad gamer stereotypes.
