I barely remember 2010, but I remember Scott Pilgrim being to hipsters like Fight Club and American Psycho are to incels; They totally missed the point of the movie, thought it was aspirational, and the results in dive bars and shitty venues across America (maybe just the midwest?) were disastrous.

Was this real? Did I mandela effect it from the negative zone or something? Am I just getting old?

Given the movie’s target audience (marketed to 2013’s teenage boys who play video games), the aspirational part is being A Nerd who can win a prize as beautiful and aloof as the movie’s Ramona. I swear, Revenge Of The Nerds and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
