nerd culture hot take 

To the degree that “bad nerd behavior” includes pendantic argument about minutiae, nerd culture is always going to include some amount of “bad nerd behavior”. The laws of physics and the behavior of our computers depends very much on minutae, and we as a society rely on having people driven to get those minutae right. I would be very surprised if it would ever not “leak” into other social contexts.
