I mean it is just nerd talking with math rocks
Don’t forget us failed theater kids!
Yeah, they said nerd talking
Aren’t theater-geeks geeks and math-nerds nerds?
You can totally be a theatre nerd or a math geek
Or even a dork.
Fuckin love a dork
Oh, I think you’re right. It took me a second for some reason, but yeah, you can nerd out academically about theater, and geek out as a fanboy/fangirl about math
I got into D&D in the late '80s. My super-christian grandma even tried to play. My dad’s church thought I was going straight to hell, though.

It’s mildly interesting that this claim originated during a time (~ late 70s and 80s) when such claims also originated about rock and metal music. Both D&D and those were somewhat new (or at least newly popular) during that time.
In a way it was the analog equivalent of modern FUD and misinformation spreading on social media. Maybe even disinformation, but probably just misinformation and FUD.
To be fair, this was likely a reverse problem of today: not enough social media or freely flowing info via the internet.
People who did not know assumed much from manual covers.
We thought the Internet would be our salvation… wow were we wrong.
Funny side story: we also though that technology, particularly AI, would save us - again, swing and a miss (tbf, LLMs != AI, so we still don’t truly know, though we’ve lost hope for it anyway since even if they did exist they would be controlled by the elites not applied to the good of of all humanity).
I have no clue what FUD stands for. But as I’m too lazy to look it up, I have to assume it’s something satanic.
Stands for “fear, uncertainty and doubt”. It’s actually a very relevant term. In a lot of contexts. It’s when people influence you to either fear, have uncertainty about, or doubt something. Sometimes this happens without any intent, for example if you’re unsure about some new situation or thing, you tend to first view it more negatively because you have some fear or doubts about it (which might not be warranted). But sometimes, it can have malicious intent (e.g. right-wing extremists spreading FUD about human subgroups they don’t like. Usually the first step before more aggressive behavior happens).
Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt. FUD.
I immediately lose all confidence in people willing to use FUD in 2026 years since Jesus died for our cringe.
There have been similar moral panics about whatever the kids were doing throughout history, including comic books, jazz, prose literature, the waltz, polyphonic music, and even writing stuff down instead of just remembering it.
But polyphonic music really does summon the devil!
For years, my friends would get a ride from my one friend’s grandpa over to my place to play various tabletop games–four to six teenage boys and me, a teenage girl. We learned once we were in college that he thought all that time that they were all coming over to rail me. For years. And he just happily drove them all over.
Have you seen math? It’s the Devil’s play tool!
with it you can calculate your way out of a cult, which is obviously devilish
The Venn diagram of people that think this, and also buy books about compete BS Bible numerology are a circle.
What’s the square root of vicious mockery?
and then you started doing the satanism, right
I’ll take the devil over fucking math
