Big Bang Gamergate Theory feat. Eleanor Penny
Added 2019-04-03 23:02:00 +0000 UTCAmericans love the Big Bang Theory, even if they think they're above it (when we watched an episode in studio, Nate couldn't keep himself from laughing). But why is it so oblivious to the horrors of true nerd culture? Because as special guest Eleanor Penny (@eleanorkpenny) points out, there's already an insanely misogynist show lurking under its adorkable exterior.
In addition, we also discuss Suella Braverman MP's recent use of the term 'Cultural Marxism,' and its origins in Nazi ideology.

We were talking about how they portray the condition so cartoonishly through Sheldon - best to not be ambiguous!
